The Vancouver Canucks have decided to part ways with one of their most expensive players.

Canucks to Buy Out Player

NHL insider Elliotte Friedman just reported that the Vancouver Canucks have decided to buyout a pricey Canucks defenseman.

Before the buyout, Ekman-Larsson had a cap hit of $8.25 million. After a disappointing season with only 22 points, the Canucks have decided to move on from Ekman-Larsson.

They will be paying his salary at a reduced rate over the next 8 years.
