Former Sabres forward J.P. Dumont is among the players who have been bought out today, the final day of the buyout period.
Dumont had one year and $4 million left on his deal with Nashville, which was joined by Edmonton (Sheldon Souray), Minnesota (Cam Barker), Columbus (Mike Commodore) and Washington (Tyler Sloan). Chris Drury was bought out by the Rangers on Wednesday.
