Honest question:

If we were to get Vinny and buy him out, we wouldn't be able to sign him right after, correct?

You can't sign a guy at a cheaper price who you've just bought out?

BUYOUTS

During the ordinary course buyout periods in June 2013 and June 2014, teams will be permitted two compliance buyouts. Compliance buyouts follow the same formula as ordinary-course buyouts — either 1/3 or 2/3 of actual salary depending on age — but do not count against the cap.

In 2013, the buyout period begins 48 hours after the Stanley Cup Final ends and concludes on July 4 at 5 p.m.

The NHL allowed teams to execute one of their two compliance buyout options prior to the 2012-13 season on players with cap hits of more than $3 million. Two teams exercised the option: the Montreal Canadiens on Scott Gomez and the New York Rangers on Wade Redden. The players received full pay and counted at their full cap hit for 2012-13, after which the compliance buyout payments kick in.

For one season following a compliance buyout, the player is prohibited from rejoining the team that bought him out.

Yes!

I agree as well on Malone, but there seems to always be a market for trade for a guy of his ilk. I.e. Ryane Clowe. I think they're quite fond of Brewer.

Every game I saw Brewer play, I thought he looked brutal out there.

Panthers introduce $7 dollar tickets

The 44-game package for $7 a game is available for 500 seats in various locations in the 400 level of the BB&T Center, Panthers spokesman Matt Sacco said.

The deal includes parking, a Panthers jersey and a ticket to four concerts in a concert series for season-ticket holders.

To put that into perspective, it's $6 to attend a GTHL game.

Anyone see the TO rumour posted in the Tbay forum about the leafs offering mid level roster players and a package of prospects for the 3rd overall pick and Vinny Lecavalier. TO would then buy out Vinny.
- Fakepartofme

Let's pretend for a moment that I believe this.

Do you think the Leafs would play Vinny in 2013-14 before deciding to buy him out?

i think I would. If grabbo is gone then resign Bozak so he can take back the #1 Center role until our #3 pick is ready

What potential trades could there be to yes taking a bad contract like lecav and acquiring tampas 1st Rounder?

A deal like

Gunner/Liles
Kulemin
1st Rounder + 2nd Rounder 2013 (leafs)
Matt Finn+?

for

Vinny
Tampas First?

Too much? Too little?

Bozak is arguably not going to be resigned if his demands exceed over 3.5-4

I do think Clowe would come a lot cheaper than Clarkson or Horton, and if that helps us target a big name center, then I guess that's the route you go. I see Horton got hurt again last night, anyway...

But I don't really get the fascination with these old, run-down back-ups. Is that a requirement now or something?

Are there really any of these old farts kicking around out there that make us a better team than with Scrivens? You'd think that hanging on to two young goalies would be the way to go.

I thought Habby played well, but whatever. I can't see the Leafs keeping Scrivins at a good price. I figured he'd probably end up on a team as a defacto starter.

Maybe we can trade Scrivins to Philly for Simmonds
