Kailer Yamamoto will be bought out by the Red Wings. Detroit strongly considered keeping him but couldn’t make moves to make it work. Given tight cap, Yamamoto is a good you player hitting the market.— Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) June 30, 2023
Bought out. Becomes a decent UFA option. https://t.co/hIzzAHmhjm— JFresh (@JFreshHockey) June 30, 2023
Yamamoto is less than 26 years of age and therefore his buyout costs 1/3 of the remaining value. With 1 year left it will span 2 years.
Buyout Cap Hit:
23-24: $433k ($2.67M savings)
24-25: $533khttps://t.co/2zZZwWXdn5 https://t.co/jUTGBcAYON— CapFriendly (@CapFriendly) June 30, 2023
