Summary
Should the Penguins buy out Ryan Graves? With three years and $4.5M left on his contract, the move seems tempting—but experts say it’s not worth it. Graves still contributes on the ice, and Pittsburgh has $37M in cap space, making the buyout unnecessary. Plus, the savings? Just over $1M annually—and not enough to justify losing a veteran who’s still valuable. No rush to cut ties. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
