Apparently we only gave up a 3rd and got their 4th, too? Wow, that's a great deal. I'm shocked that this goes through. There has to be more leaving us, right?

Wowwwww. We unload that terrible Ennis contract and with Scandella they could buy out Gorges too. 2 of the 4 contracts everyone hated could be gone and we would have a top-pair LHD.

Scandela is not a top pairing guy. Solid # 3 or 4.

A lot of guys really like Scandella, like Yost, so this is a good sign

I have been looking at Scandella for at least 18 months. I don't know if he a top pair, but I like what he does.

Dammnnn

9.6 MM in, 4.6 MM out. Cap Savvy GM. Way to blow.

Don't forget they tendered Foligno at I think $2.25 million

4.6 and RFA going to MIN

5.6 and 4 coming back to BUF unless MIN is retaining.

Foligno likely gets 2.5-3 for his contract

That's an extra 2-3 Mil that Botteril just added. Granted that Pominville will actually play while Ennis is constantly injured, and Scandella will be a serviceable Dman. Have to think that a Moulson or Bogosian buyout is looming.

And.......we hung onto Kane.....

I'm very curious to see how this works out and how well Pommer fits back in.

You may not know this but Pominville had a 5v5 points per 60 of 2.41(!) last year. 8th best in the league.

Botterill off to good start

I thought the buyout window closed or was closing today?

We got it d-bag.

On this team he is.

As much as I felt that Pomminville represented the mediocrity that the team and fanbase was enamored by, I could see him doing good things with either Eichel or O'Reilly.

yeah thats all we got pretty much 3 and lower..

but we now have too many don't we?

risto
scandela
mccabe
anitipin
bogo
gorges
baeioulaeiou

thats seven and puts fedun and falk in the AHL with card and funk

Don't forget they tendered Foligno at I think $2.25 million
- Pierceme69

Yeah lets see Pommer makes $1 million more than Ennis and is a better fit and a better player and their contracts end at the same time

Foligno and a pick for Scandella? Sold

Pommer is still pretty good

I hope that hip is healed after surgery with Scandella with no further problems. I haven't really seen him play but he had 16 pts last year so he must be more of stay at home type D to garner 4 mil a year.

I have to assume something else happens.

Either Gorges or Bogosian is moved.

AS is stands
Risto
Antipin
Guhle
Scandella
Beaulieu(sp?)
McCabe
Fedun
Falk
Gorges
Bogosian

Pommer is only a RW tho isn't he???

So now we have Okposo, Sam, and Pommer on the R but only Kane and like Bailey/Nylander/Zemgus on the LW?
