Leonsis also said the team plans to retain its veterans, adding that the contract of 35-year-old goaltender Olaf Kolzig won't be bought out. Kolzig is in the final season of a five-year contract that will pay him 4.94 million this season. (Clubs have a one-time opportunity this week to buy out players for two-thirds of their remaining contract and not have it count against their salary cap.) Out of the gate . . . we are keeping our veterans, ... My goal is to ice a competitive team this year.
