I'm thinking...

Clarkson for Grabo's 5.5
Weiss at about 4

plus they sign Scuderi or Ference.

Not saying I agree... Don't think Weiss is better then Grabo but hey.

Can't believe they couldnt get anything via trade for Grabo.. I mean nothing ??

What the frank do we do with Liles and his 3.9 MM now ?? Nonis better have a trade lined up.

No way it makes sense to buy out Komi's 1 year ahead of Liles.

- D.Lemieux


Liles is tradeable... or at very least could play bottom pairing for Leafs.

Beauchemin is a lovely example Nonis could use as a "bad fit" in Toronto Liles might be a Norris candidate with a fresh start

Buyouts are only lottery winnings if they get another contract. If not, 2/3 as much money as could have been had.

If there's a condition that keeps him from making up that other 1/3, sucky for him.

- joel878

Philly will sign him...

wtf,

we are now a budget team, having to pay all the revenue sharing has taken a bite out of the Corporation, plus the Leafs have to pay Mike Smith for the Coyotes.

- LeafMan

PMB will get 2.5 mil and like it...he can't tell anyways, he can't read after all 6 of those concussions anyways, he probably would think he's getting 7.5

lol,

I think Nonis just realizes that with these buyouts, this is now his team. All the dirty laundry left over by BB is now gone, and if he's careful, he can solidify the core for years to come

I'm guessing Nonis made 29 quick phone calls, and got laughed at 29 times.

It's like Luongo: the player isn't the problem. It's the contract.

“@michaelgrange: Grabo buyout could be a watershed for NHL analytics. Advanced stats says he's value; decision makers say doesn't produce. Who is right?”

I am hoping for a surprise move that is off the radar. Surprise me with your brilliance Nonis..

If he trades Liles in a trade for Stastny then he automatically becomes GM of the year.

I would say for his signing of mclaren, trade for bernier, trade for bolland. He is 3/3

The only minor trade that was made for playoffs was O'byrne but that was a minor small move to add depth to our defense pushing into playoffs

and said he'd get more of a chance with the LEafs.

hmmm

Lupul-Kadri-Kessel
JVR-Bolland-Clarkson

?

- Big_Lightnin

I don't hate that.

Although maybe you put Bolland on #1 in the hopes he can create space.

It's not the ideal situation, but if those are the cards we have to play...

this could go either way.... either nonis is a mastermind or a fool

have to think there's some truth behind a trade coming or else why buy out komisarek's one year as opposed to liles who doesn't see the ice and has 3 or 4 years left

Exactly, I want him to act like a real time GM, and make moves that us, ARMCHAIR GM's haven't.

Impress the fans Nonis.

hmm... now I'm thinking Gagner is back in the mix actually

and I would absolutely take Gagner over Bozak or Grabo...

although then they might as well sign Weiss... more pedigree (somewhat) and used to playing against other #1C's at least.
