A team and player may mutually agree to terminate a player's contract at any time. All players must clear waivers before having a contract terminated.
Buyouts can only occur at specific times of the year. For more details on contract terminations as buyouts:
Teams may buy out player contracts (after the conclusion of a season) for a portion of the remaining value of the contract, paid over a period of twice the remaining length of the contract. This reduced number and extended period is applied to the cap hit as well.
Injured players cannot be bought out.

Note: This does not include players who have re-signed with their previous team as an unrestricted free agent or as a restricted free agent.
An offer sheet is a contract offered to a restricted free agent by a team other than the one for which his rights are owned by. If the player signs the offer sheet, his current team has seven days to match the contract offer and keep the player or else he goes to the team that gave the offer sheet, with compensation going to his originally owning team.
This section is for players who were not previously on contract with NHL teams in the past season. Listed is the last team and league they were under contract with.
