Really though, what a bad trade for Boston.

You don't know what's involved yet.

What if its Nichushkin and Eriksson for Seguin?

I mean now that there is cap room with him gone..
- bazookajo

why would ANH trade Getzlaf with so many teams desperate for a #1 C and it would leave them without one, and they just resigned him like a couple months ago.

not really a good example - Kessel wouldn't sign in Boston. Seguin's got a 6 yr deal.

but not arguing with you

Grabo was bought out for today ....err tomorrow technically. To ensure he can re-sign all his RFA's and get the pieces he's after in UFA / Trade.

Let's hope he announces a Kessel extension this summer as well.

- The Law


yup

@jonasTSN1050: Have to think Nonis already has another move in place. Grabovski buyout otherwise hurts his leverage.

@jonasTSN1050: Had they not exercised buyout on Grabovski, Leafs would have had room (in all likelihood) for just one major FA. Could now sign two.

Wow this is pretty huge.

I can't imagine that this move was done just to sign Bozak. If so, Bozak would have been signed first.

This is a sign of things to come. A huge trade or maybe Clarkson. Gonna be a real interesting few days.

- panek


this move didn't need to be done to sign Bozak...

I believe Nonis said it was, "cap flexibility going forward" implies that.
- LeafMan


I believe it means going forward into Free Agency tomorrow and trades over the summer.

you don't buy out a player in grabo's position to allow for flexibility a year later, when you could still buy him out or trade him if he had bounce back season, if you don't intend to use the space before next summer.

really?

Louis Eriksson's fantastic defensively, and puts up 70+ points per year.

I think I'd prefer Boston's lineup as is to one that features Eriksson.

Has any UFA's stock fallen more dramatically than Jarome Iginla's. Nobody seems to be talking about him.

Exactly, which is why I think it's to sign a big FA or for a trade.
