NHL Rumors: James Neal, Nick Bjugstad, and the Ottawa Senators

Jonathan Willis: This goes against the grain but Daniel Nugent-Bowman concurs with Willis that Neal should be bought out sooner rather than later. However, one line rings a bell.

“When you look at the structure of their contracts, one guy can be bought out and one guy can’t.”

Again, this refers to the difference between the Neal contract and the Milan Lucic deal. The article references a few other points and reasons along the way. With a flat cap for next season, teams expect to feel even more pain.
