Stantny can be bought out for $2.83 Million hit this year and $1.83 Million hit next year. Buying out Fleury would be $2.583 M, $3.083M, $2.083 M and $2.083 M
Vegas could create about $8M in cap space by simply buying them both out with they probably won't do. Eating $2 or even $3 M on MAF and buying out Stastny might be enough to get AP under the cap if they move out Marchessault or a similar salary.

Sure but they won't have to buy out MAF according to the roomerzz.
I think he's still viewed as an 'ok' starter. If Billy Guerin likes the idea of having him as the starter for a couple of years AND Vegas will eat say 2 million isn't that better for both?
The Stastny thing ...not sure. He's the obvious target to cut or get moved if they need more space for a guy like AP.
They are "WIN NOW" and are close so I could see them going all in.
