Buyouts

@Uncleben85, since you're normally the transactions guru - are Atkinson/Suter's buyouts correctly listed, or should they be dated tomorrow due to waivers/etc? I'm honestly not entirely sure how it works with respect to that. The Kip ^(contribs) 17:56, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

Great question! A typical buyout will require waivers and will only be official after clearing, the next day. But a player with a NMC can waive the waivers period. If you look at Suter, he has an NMC and looks to have skipped going on waivers (the Stars' press release reads "Stars buy out defenseman Ryan Suter"); Atkinson has a M-NTC but not an NMC so would need waivers (Flyers' release reads "Flyers to Buy Out", "Flyers announced today they will buy out") –uncleben85 (talk) 22:53, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

Going by your edit on the article - wait, wouldn't that mean Suter's the one that's already been bought out today, not Atkinson? The Kip ^(contribs) 23:05, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

Yes! Sorry, just hid the wrong one. I also just put Skinner back in; he had an NMC and skipped going on waivers. –uncleben85 (talk) 04:15, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
