There remains talk among some NHL agents that the league's next collective bargaining agreement will include a provision allowing the opportunity for each team to "amnesty" one unwieldy player contract from its salary cap books without any penalty other than the financial buyout itself.
If the season ended today, which 30 NHLers should be most worried? And what's the likelihood each franchise actually uses the amnesty? Those questions and no more are answered below. (For brevity's sake, we'll do 15 teams in alphabetical order this Thursday, and the following 15 next Thursday.)

Shacks' Take: Proteau is far from my favourite writer but he does take a few minutes to at least consider who is the most likely candidate for a buyout at season's end. Several are so far-fetched as to be ridiculous (Eric Staal? Likelihood 0%) but it saves the rest of us from doing the research.
