(Let me preface this by saying that what Voynov did was disgusting.  I won't even say what he "apparently" did, since it seems like there isn't much doubt about the basic facts.  I definitely don't want to cause anyone any offense or cause anyone to think that, in asking how this could play out under the rules of our silly little game, I'm minimizing or trivializing what happened.)


I'm considering a flex waiver of Voynov.  What I'd like to understand is ... if his real life Kings contract ends up being terminated (whether the Kings are able to do so unilaterally or there is a mutual agreement between the player and the Kings and the NHL/NHLPA doesn't stand in the way) will his fantasy contract remain on the books here in the game? -- i.e. the 50% of the contract that would remain against my cap if he clears wavers and sits in my minors or if he is claimed by another team and, if he was claimed, the 50% of the contract that the claiming team takes on.  Basically, if the real life Kings are able to escape from their contractual commitment to Voynov does that transfer over to the fantasy game?

His current fantasy contract is D Vyacheslav Voynov, $2.7m (2018-2019).

Unfortunately, unless Voynov decides to retire, you're stuck with his cap hit.

Thanks.  Follow-up question:  let's say he goes through flex waivers and sits in my minors at 50% of the cap hit per the flex waiver rule ... at a future date, I could choose to "promote" him back to the NHL roster and, if I wanted, apply the contract buy out rules to finance a buy out, correct?

Absolutely.  I traded for Budaj just to stash him in the minors under the flex rules (not unlike what the Winnipeg Jets did).
