Amnesty Buyouts and resigning

[AMMOnation]

In the old CBA, if your were bought out of your contract you were not allowed to sign with same team for the following season.

What does the player care, he gets paid for his old contract, and can sign a new one.

Is this the case as well for the amnesty buyout?

IE. Buyout Briere, he gets paid the remainder of his old contract and we resign him for a fraction of his current contract.

You can't buyout a player then re-sign him...thank God.

My thoughts on Briere, via James Norton:

Has anyone actually been able to find a copy of the new CBA itself?

Cool, thanks.

On the topic of resigning bought out players, per the CBA:

'.Li ^.'-^ "-'^'"' ^i- ^"^^"^ ^'" 'i'^-,

-V ^.I ^"^- ^r-^ ^■r' 'r*^^?^'^ h^'^ '

So, there it is

This is the closest thing I've found. It probably isn't even complete yet.

The summary is here: http://cdn.agilitycm...rms-1-10-13.pdf

Regarding buy-outs:

During the Ordinary Course “Buy-Out” periods following the 2012/13 season and 2013/14 season, in addition to any other Ordinary Course “Buy-Outs” a Club may elect to effectuate pursuant to Paragraph 13 of the SPC, Clubs may elect to terminate and “buy-out” the already existing SPCs of up to two (2) additional Players (in the aggregate over the two (2) years) on a Compliance basis (a “Compliance Buy-Out”). Such Compliance Buy-Out(s) would be effectuated on the same terms as are set forth in Paragraph 13 of the SPC, except that the amounts paid under such “buy-out(s)” will not be charged against the Club’s Cap in any of the years in which the payments are made to the Player. Amounts paid under such Compliance Buy-Out(s) will, however, be counted against the Players’ Share during any League Year in which the “buy-out” payments are made. A Player that has been bought out under these Compliance Buy-Out provisions shall be prohibited from re-joining the Club that bought him out (via re-signing, Assignment, Waiver claim or otherwise) for the duration of the 2013/14 League Year (if the Player was bought out in 2013) and the 2014/15 League Year (if the Player was bought out in 2014).
