Now that 24 hours have elapsed since Gary Bettman handed out the Stanley Cup, NHL teams can buy out players, for whatever reason they see fit. The buyout window is open until 5 p.m. mountain on July 27, one day before the opening of the annual free agent frenzy period.
The Florida Panthers have two players that are risk of a buyout, defensemen Keith Yandle and Anton Stralman.
Yandle has two years remaining on his contract that carries an average annual value of $6.35 million dollars.

When the Red Wings traded Anthony Mantha to the Washington Capitals at the trade deadline on Monday, a lot of the hockey pundits were very happy with the return GM Steve Yzerman got. One point I’ve seen repeated is that in overall terms, Jakub Vrana might actually be better than Anthony Mantha all by himself and that the additional value the Capitals gave up was about dumping Richard Panik’s contract.
We know what the Wings gave up in Mantha, but how about what they got in Vrana?
