NHL Buyouts: Who’s Next?

Carolina’s Jesperi Kotkaniemi, underperforming at 25, is a cheap buyout target. Pittsburgh’s Ryan Graves, stuck behind younger talent, offers minimal savings. Montreal’s Brendan Gallagher, fading in value, could free up over $2.5M. And the Islanders might offload Ondrej Palat to clear $3M, with a small hit later—smart moves to reshape rosters and cap space. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
