Its not a list until Ilya is on it! He even made the inaugural list @ 25, as he was highest paid player at one time (13.7m).

Mike Richards is set to receive a 2014-15 Amnesty Buy Out!

His current deal is 5.1m for a 3yrs.
His ABO will cost 2.0m for the remainder of the deal through 2017.

I'm hoping my guys kick it into gear. Hodgson will get a buyout from Buffalo, leaving him to sign with a better team. It would be great if he landed in Chicago, however he's not much of a two way player.

good to see many of those big contracts got cut down to size.
