Since Gagner is only 26, his buyout is 1/3 cap hit over two years. Therefore, his hit would be $633k for each of the next two seasons.

Vinnys would be much higher because of the back diving aspect. Umberger would be about $1.5 over the next four years.

I was assuming 2/3, thank you for clarification. Still, the kid has skills and that is a need on this roster. Play him for Christ sakes.

OK I am being a pooper about this.
I don't disagree with doing it.
I just want the whole picture.
I feel like we are seeing 25% of what is really going on.

Thanks

Do RJ then. Its only 900k more. Gagner is approximately a 100x better hockey player than RJ is right now.

Gagner is only signed for 1 more year... let him play that 1 year

You clearly dont understand how the cap works, thats ok but dont be dissing a move where we got rid of our worst dman and a guy who was 5M of dead space in the offseason. And acquired a 3rd or 4th round pick

You're asking why the Flyers didn't buyout Lecavalier or Umberger, then telling people they clearly don't understand how the cap works.

Im just glad we dont have to ever see Nick Grossmann play another game for the Flyers ever. Thats a huge plus.

2.367M of cap space gained, a draft pick, and better maneuverability in the off season, less danger of bonus overages, depending on who makes the team, an open contract and roster spot. What's not to like?

Buyout Gagner. Sign Gagne.
- hereticpride

no (frank) it keep gagner sign gagne trade for strait get benoit groulx as the coach

Streit Strait
Hextall Hakstol
Gagne Gagner
Giroux Groulx

If he trades MacDonald and Vinny and Umberger and Luke Schenn then ill pronounce him jesus

Yea, that was just awful. A warrior of a defenseman, who gave his heart and soul every game, and played solid defense. I'm sure glad we don't have to put up with that any more.
