The buyout move was basically meaningless. What buyout are you talking about? I thought we were talking about the OEL buyout. That buyout saved us 8.5 million and allowed us to spread the 20.5 million cap over 8 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: oops, I was wrong about the OEL buyout. Edited January 3 by PureQuickness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we didn't buyout OEL we would have no Soucy, Cole, Blueger or Lafferty. (OEL 7.26+3 plugs at league min 2.25= $9,510,000) (OEL buyout 0.147+Soucy 3.25+Cole 3+Blueger 1.9+Lafferty 1.15= $9,447,000) How much better do you think we would be without those 4 players? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I misunderstood the cap hit from the buyout. I was under the impression that the OEL contract was buyout proof. I have been open about loving Lafferty and Blueger. Soucy has been good, but essentially he's a Poolman in that he's been injured and we don't see a whole lot of sample from him. When he's been in the lineup, he's been a significant addition.

I think you had it mixed up with a possible Myers buyout. Buying out his final year would have saved us less than a million dollars overall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize we would actually save much money from an OEL buyout, so I think that's where I erred.

By the time you replaced Myers with even a league min player after buyout, it would have actually cost us more cap than just playing/paying him this season. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Korea Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 UPDATE: Ilya Samsonov has been recalled by the Toronto Maple Leafs. They obviously want Hildeby to be playing Marlies games since he got rushed up in a desperation move. With Woll out, they've been riding Jones like a horse. Between the pipes for back-to-back games. And now this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
