Smid is the only one I'd consider buying out if he is not in agreement to LTIRetire due to his neck issues. I'd prefer not to buy him out, but IMO he's the only one worth considering this off season so that we can resolve a slight log jam on D.
Engelland I'd just ride out the contract, trade if someone is interested. I wouldn't salary retain him, or not much anyways.
Stajan, I think I want to see if that season ending RW experiment can work till the end of the contract. If can trade no salary retained in a decent deal. Jump at it.
Raymond, I'd give one more chance this season. If suck, AHL it is, buy him out the next off season. If someone will take him barely or no salary retained, I'd jump at it.
Wideman I'm sure can be moved salary retained(or not) at the TDL. No need to waste buying him out.
