The NHL's buyout period opens one month from today. lukefoxjukebox looks at the top 10 players who might be considered for a buyout, and the pros and cons of pulling the trigger on arguably the most uncomfortable tool at a GM’s disposal.

Lucic gets the headlines, but Holland may wish to consider wiping Sekera off the book as well. Injuries have limited the 32-year-old defenceman to a mere 60 games played in the past two seasons. He hasn’t scored a goal since the 2017 playoffs and is overpriced for a second-pairing blue-liner.

The safe bet here is that both stars will work their butts off in summer training and get an opportunity to redeem themselves under new bench boss Todd McLellan. The Kings would have once considered Dustin Brown an anchor but stuck with him, and he’s posted back-to-back 20-goal, 50-point campaigns. After eight years of perfect NHL attendance, Alzner was scratched on opening night of the 2018-19 season and appeared in just nine big-league games for the organization before being demoted to Laval.

The 30-year-old has been surpassed on the depth chart by younger D-men Neal Ponik and Tony Deangelo, both of whom are headed toward restricted free agency and will require nice raises out of their entry-level deals. And, oh, yeah, Gorton just pulled a trade-and-sign for NCAA stud Adam Fox.
