Nonis says of Grabovski buyout in statement: "This is a roster move that will give us salary cap flexibility moving forward."

This might mean they will not use it on this year but leave a cushion for next year,

Then why not do it next year? They can still use the compliance buyout. Plus if they aren't going to operate at full cap this year then why compliance buyout Komi when you could have just taken the $1.5mil cap hit and you'd still have another one to buyout Liles if need be.

Nah...something is weird here. Either he's going to massively dip into free agency and he's already basically finalized some deals so he had to free up cap space to fit them under the cap or he has a trade lined up, possibly with a team that is going to need to drop some salary after they complete a signing.

Well then why not just let Grabo play the season?

Too long...

Giroux at 8 years 8+ million per year. Holmgren is an idiot. Giroux is one of the most overrated athletes I've ever seen, the guy has been put up on a pedestal since he entered the league.

Huge trade in the works. Boston and Dallas close on a deal sending Tyler Seguin to Stars for Loui Eriksson. Other parts involved as well.

Snider owns Comcast..

This might mean they will not use it all on this year but leave a cushion for next year,
- LeafMan

Makes sense,

Phil, Remier, Dion & Jake are all up for new deals next year

That would be perfect.

Yeah just heard that from RumorBreak

I was hoping we'd land a guy like Eriksson

No he doesn't

Points for getting it at least!

He was a useful player but this won't hurt the Leafs at all.... I'm sure they have a UFA lined up.

trade deadline 2014 .... (insert TSN sound clip)

That would be perfect.

Then it would be Kessel vs. Eriksson?

Just a hunch, Hartnell possibly available now? Move JVR to center Hartnell on the wing.

Probably cost us Gardiner, Hartnell signed until 2018/19 $4.75m

Thoughts? or out to lunch

Then it would be Kessel vs. Eriksson?


OMG

Wouldn't get a good return like that if he sucked
