According to www.capgeek.com, O'Sullivan's buyout is $795,583. The Oilers will keep Vandermeer and add his toughness to their thin defence corps. O'Sullivan, 25, is scheduled to have a salary cap hit of $2.925 million next season. In 73 games with Edmonton last season, he scored 11 goals and tallied 34 points, while posting a minus-35 rating. Vandermeer is a 30-year-old defenceman who had 12 points and 60 penalty minutes in 62 games with the Coyotes last season. His salary cap hit will be $2.3 million next season.

McAwesome 754 Report post Posted June 30, 2010 Bummer. I only read the tagline on the front page that said it was possible that both teams could buy them out, in the article it says that Edmonton will likely keep Vandermeer. Too bad, I think he would been a good fit here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
