Will a buyout make more sense than packaging Mrazek with a legit asset or taking on additional salary in a trade? Or does it make more sense than just keeping him and hoping he becomes a decent goalie again? AAVs of 1.033 year 1, 833k year 2, 1.433 years 3 and 4. They have a 13 day window to do it starting July 1st.
It's a fairly light penalty in the first 2 years. Final 2 years may hurt but cap should be up by then anyway. Not ideal and probably a last resort, but it's one of many options I guess.
