@-AJ- I mean if we trade out benn and buyout Bear, You back at square one basically well having improved ur defense

@CanucksCountry Those two buyouts only save us about $2.8M and actually results in us losing about $1.3M in cap space next year (2021-22). We'd need far more cap space than that and 2021-22 is also arguably an even larger problem than this year given the expiring contracts of Pettersson, Demko, and Hughes.
EDIT: I misread and thought you meant buyout both. The Baer buyout would save us $1.7M this year and cost us 800k in 2021-22. Trading Benn sounds great, but I'm not sure it's as easy as some people think. How many teams are willing to acquire a $2M 7th defenseman? I think we'd have to pay a premium to get rid of Benn. Are we willing to lose draft picks/prospects to trade Benn?
Even so, with Benn gone and Baertschi bought out, you save $3.7M, which still only probably gets us back to keeping two of the three, and that's assuming you're able to trade Benn.

@-AJ- i thought buying out bear saved us more for some reason but you have around 12 million coming off the books next year i think you'd be able to move 5 millon to make room for those 3 i dont see us need more then 17 mill for those 3
