Not quite sure where you're going with this, Leafs are set in net....they going to sign Vinny to a 7mil+ contract and than buy him out a couple of years later? Seems to be the trend for the Rangers.

The only team in harder on Richards was the Leafs if you remember, he just didn't want to play for you or you would be in this situation.

This just in.......EVERYONE SPENDS MONEY ON FREE AGENTS! THEY WOULDN'T BE SOUGHT AFTER IF THEY WEREN'T GOOD FOR YOUR TEAM! EVERYONE IS UNDER THE SAME CBA AND SALARY CAP!

And Tampa, Montreal, Philly...etc. your point?

Its always ONLY the Rangers, we all know who's to blame.

With all the guys u have to sign next offseason?
I can't imagine that would be a good idea...
U guys should be focussing on keeping Callahan, Staal, McDonough, etc....
O ya, and Lundqvist!

The Rangers sign every high priced FA and end up destroying them. Can't buy a Championship.

To sum up my views on the last few days round here, buy out Richie, NO to Clowe & Vinny unless they want to play for cheap. Next
- B2B76

Clowe already said he would take a pay cut to stay here - depending on "what a pay cut is" - he said he liked it here.

Can't understand how a fanbase wants Richards bought out, only to turn around and want to sign Lecavalier. My god.

No one is saying give him a max contract, I think we're all on the same page, an offer of 2 to 3 years for max $4 million is reasonable and worth it

women in the stands when the Leafs won their last Cup wore this fashion:

Lets hope its a big pay cut.

After just buying out Richards? Do you realize how nuts that sounds?

- ThePresident

It's not because of Richards, it's his contract and the new CBA, just like Lecavalier's contract it's too risky down the line, why isn't anyone questioning whether Tampa really wanted to buy him out?

- Iggysbff

And that was a trade.

Yeah so set they traded for another young goalie. Can't wait until they struggle have 30 miccs in their facing asking if you think the othre guy will take your job.

Can't understand how a team finally makes the playoffs and then announces it wants to trade its whole roster. My god.

- ThePresident

Why? this has nothing to do with the player and his abilities, so if Richards gets bought out and has a good year somewhere else it means it wouldn't have happened in NY?

Just forget about that Komisarek guy.

Because you're getting him for less $$/years and probably better production.

So Toronto has no interest in Vinny right? Theyre above signing him or even kicking the tires?

Just forget about that Komisarek guy.

I just don't get why a Leafs or other fan would feel the need to spend so much time going into another teams thread & b!tch & moan about something that has not happened, but that's trolling for you.

gotta troll to kill a troll

Got to ignore a troll to kill a troll. You guys just massaged him into joy.
