There's been speculation that the NHL may have to institute a compliance buy out to help some of the teams over the cap get under before the season begins. I have no idea how likely it is or how it would look, but lets just say the NHL opens a one time temporary window before the start of the 2021 season which allows teams to buy out one player without cap penalties, but once the window expires cap penalties will apply once again. Do the Avs use it? Should they?
Obviously there's been a lot of speculation with regards to Erik Johnson and whether or not he'd waive for the expansion draft. and speculation that the Avs could buy him out if he did not waive. None of us know whether or not Joe Sakic has had conversations with EJ about this, but obviously Joe knows a lot more about the situation. Perhaps he already knows EJ's plans, perhaps it's uncertain. But if there was a small opportunity to buy him out without incurring a $2 million cap hit for four seasons, should the Avs do it?
