Witt A Candidate For A Buy-Out

via Chris Botta of NYI Point Blank, Garth Snow said last season they would not put Brendan Witt on waivers to make him available at half-price to teams. But even at $1.5 million, based on the market this summer for depth players, it?s unlikely a team would have taken the veteran defenseman?s tab. He was placed today on unconditional waivers. A buyout is probably in his future. The Islanders still carry seven defensemen on one-way contracts for the 2010-11 season. If they buy out this last season of his contract, the Islanders could add the cost as they reach the salary cap floor.
