Did the league engrave '17 million in cap circumvention' on the cup as well?

They wanted him with retained salary. Benning, wanting the cap room said no.

Ya, still a bit odd, as it is to late for a buyout, unless they plan on having a player go to arbitration so they can utilize 2nd buyout window, or he gets claimed.
Arizona or Buffalo might take him.

Zona won't take him his salary is higher than his cap hit

But the player needs to be on waivers for 24 hours.
Not really sure exactly how it works, but that is the way I recall it being.

I think if they are put on waivers for purpose of buyout they are ok. We will find out in 2 hours.

I enjoy watching a solid defensive forward or 2. Very valuable to any team.

What's the plan in Buffalo, going to try build around Cozens, Quinn Power and Dahlin?
- Reubenkincade

yes...move on from jack, add whatever pieces they can get in return and start the re-re-rebuild...

sabres have $27m in cap space right now, most in the league...am assuming they'll get a cap dump in any eichel trade, but it still leaves room for them to weaponize their cap-space for futures...

it's much different from the sh1t they pulled from '13-'15

Looks like Holtby will be put on waivers today.
- VANTEL

is he worth much?

is he worth much?
- Michael Pachla

No.

No.
- Marwood

that bad, huh?...but how was the team in front of him?...helpful or hurtful or a little of both?

Nate must not want out that bad then.

I think some of the Buffalo fans have some unreal expectations about Eichel's worth. I see you have been trying to get them to temper the expectations.

He was awful much like the team in front of him but there is a list of excuses.

Another awesome UFA signing by the Canucks. I swear, they are their own worst enemy.

No, I don’t think so. But I could be wrong.

As usual, you are correct. He needed to have been on waivers Monday. They can still do it if one of their RFAs file for arbitration.

Team defense was terrible, but 5oltby be Holtby.

It’s only Winnipeg, there are 30 other teams (possibly a couple more Canadian markets, Sabres…)

No, I don’t think so. But I could be wrong.
- bloatedhefty

It was $18m

TB want Perry

Nate must not want out that bad then.
- boonerbuck

To be fair even people who are from Manitoba don’t want to be in Manitoba

Nate is pouting cuz he wants back in Vegas
