Gives Moulson one last shot with another organization instead of burying him

Good will towards a Vet who’s been a good guy
I’d think that stuff matters when free agents talk to guys that have played here

The Cap hit we’d endure next year is under 1mil
There’s really no reason to not do it

if you're not ror, you're ___________
- Michael Pachla

Not worth talking about

You’re paying him over $4 million this year and extending his cap hit to another year or you just pay him his $5 million this year.

If you want to give him a chance to catch on with another team retain 50% of his salary this year in a trade.

Makes no sense to buy him out.

if you're not ror, you're ___________

Gonna lose the faceoff

He already got his favor last year. He can either retire, or send him to Roch.

If they buy him out, there's a cap hit this year and next. It doesn't matter anyway, he's completely washed out of the NHL. Will never play again

Botts should be fired if moulson is bought out. It would show a complete lack of understanding of the cap.

Gonna lose the faceoff

Faceoffs are everything until they are nothing

It's the human side of it. That needs to be considered. if he has an opportunity to play in the NHL somewhere else, and the cap ramifications are minimal, which they are, then there's no reason it can't be considered. If Botts was a robot, then I agree with you. (Minimal next year) RoBott

Thank you.

You would think a guy with his MBA would understand it.

I think that they matter but shouldn’t be the determining factor

- Stripes77

I just said why it makes sense to buy him out
Good will

Costs less than 1mil on the Cap next year,
which will have no effect on us

U can’t trade him, even at half price
His only chance at another team is to be bought out & sign a PTO with someone
And possibly get the Vet minimum if he looks good in camp

They did him a favor already and sent him to California. They expect him back there this season as well. That’s his favor. That’s the human side.

By July 1, he will have received $23/25m over four years.

He put up 93 points in 239 games.

We sent him to California as a favor.

How much more could we possibly owe the guy?

- jcragcrumple

Even if he doesn’t ever play in the NHL again (i agree btw)

It still gives the guy a chance

Does nothing but make us look good for giving him the chance

And what does it cost us?
Under 1mil on next year’s Cap
It’s an easy decision

Doing things like that make the organization look good

I think that they matter but shouldn’t be the determining factor
- arousedpanda

Be glad you missed our faceoff debate.

They do matter, in certain scenarios. Sometimes, they're very important. Sometimes, not so much. Regardless.... no, it's like #6 on a list
