(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).

For whenever you get to it ...

2 years please:  LW Viktor Stalberg, $0.9m (2015-2016)

LA confirms.  It's hard to let Yakupov go, but getting a solid LW lets me adjust my lineup to make it better overall, IMO.  Ladd's no slouch, a known quantity and fits the bill nicely.  Thank you, Detroit -- best of luck to both of us.

By my math, I'll still be a hair under the salary cap even if my current free agent bids go through.  If my math was wrong, I can drop a player(s) to stay under. 

Just want to confirm something I've gathered from looking at old posts ...

Free agency and the ability to release/buy-out players remain available from this point through the fantasy season, correct?  (The fantasy regular season, at least.) 

Thanks in advance.
