Yeah, it can get confusing calculating it. All comes down to having a lower salary in the final years of a contract results in a higher buyout cap hit.

Tod Leiweke told Kraken season ticket holders today that a third jersey is officially coming next season. #SeaKraken
Per the Sound Of Hockey intern:

Grubi in net tonight. #SeaKraken
New Jersey acquired. #LetsFly
Villeneuve still jawing from the penalty box after a tilt with Sabourin.
Didn't see Nyman in warm-ups, so guessing he is not playing. Villeneuve, Mølgaard and Rehkopf did warm up. Should be fun. #LetsFly Firebirds!!
