Bruins buy out Dennis Seidenberg
The Bruins are saying goodbye to half of their first line defensive pairing that won the Stanley Cup in 2011.
Boston will buy out the contract of 34-year-old Dennis Seidenberg, the team announced Thursday. Seidenberg was due to make $7 million over the next two seasons, according to the Boston Globe:
The buyout will cost the Bruins $1,166,667 in cap space in 2016-17, 2018-19, and 2019-20. They will carry a $2,166,667 hit in 2017-18.
The move will save the Bruins about $4.6 million in salary cap space, according to CSNNE.com. Seidenberg had one goal and 11 assists in 61 games last season.
