Icon35 2014/2015 - Yashin's last NHL season

Can you believe this guy is STILL being paid by the Islanders? He was bought out 7 years ago and this is the last year the Isles will need to pay him. Simply ridiculous.

Darren Haynes ‏@DarrenWHaynes 1h Bizarre to think that this upcoming season in the NHL, Alexei Yashin will make over $700K more than Mikael Backlund.

The Islanders were nowhere near the cap and could have just kept him. But I guess they preferred to tank.

He may not count against the cap but Rick Dipietro is going to get paid till 2029.

Lots of parasites when it comes to the Isles.

So when someone gets bought out, do they get their salary paid like normal NHLers do? Or is it the lump sum?

I believe in the pre-cap days, the players had the option of taking a smaller lump sum or having it paid out over time. Now, the buyout money is included in the players' share of HRR, so it's paid out at the same time it's counted against the cap.
