Weren’t compliance buyouts just a one off thing allowing teams to become complaint after a new CBA and reduced cap? If they were allowed again the NHL could change the rules to allow teams to keep bought out players.
The 1 year rule was bought in to ensure teams only used a compliance buy out if they had to, not so big market teams could reduce their cap hit. In an extreme pandemic ensued cap reduction though maybe this isn’t practical and there will be a different rule.
