The buyout would cost Aquilini $3.8 million.  If we get a back up to Demko for around $1 million then that saves Aquilini $900k plus we free up $3.8 million in cap space.  It's a win win for the club and for Aquilini if Holtby doesn't improve his game...

How many games is that million dollar back up going  to get next year?

Other than that I like the cap space savings.

I’m thinking Demko would get 55-60 games. So in a full season we are looking at 22-27 games. We don’t need Holtby at a $4.3 million cap hit to play maybe 25 games. If he continues his decline this year then I think it’s a real possibility to go the buyout route with him and try and find a capable backup via UFA for $1-1.5 million.
