Gardiner > Bozak

Sooooooooooooooo............. who gets bought out?

If we can't find a taker for Liles, then pretty sure that JML is going to be bought out.

not this summer.

With Leafs singing Fraser. 3 days from now their non-compliance buyout period will open for 48 hrs where they can buyout Liles if desired


Well Mr. Alter disagrees with me.

Hey, anyone remember when Matthew Lombardi, David Steckel, Vesa Toskala and Jason Blake couldn't be traded?

From what I can gather, the Leafs have a 48 hour window in which to exercise their 2nd buyout option due to the arbitration.

The CBA says that the team has 48 hours to do the buyout otherwise it is gone.

So we shall find out JML fate in the next 48 hours.

Ummm if they had had arbitration. 2 guys filed, both settled before hand. So no.

not this summer.

Definately this summer, or he'll be traded. we will find out in the next few days if he's traded or bought out.

There was no arbitration dude.

Not true. Doesn't matter that they settled beforehand. They still qualify for the buyout window. Any team that had PLAYER elected arbitration has that window.

any news if hbo will have the leafs 24/7?
or is there to many outdoor games for them to do it?

There was no arbitration dude.

Yes. But the Leafs feeder team the Ducks were still doing Burke favours.

True, but Liles is a d-man capable of 30-40 points with PP time. There's still a market for those, especially when it will cost nothing more than a poop pick.

how?

Non-compliance route. The window opens now for them.

Oh, You sure??? I thought you had to go to the actual arbitration.

So with 8 defensemen now signed. Is it a fait accompli that Riley is sent back to junior for another year?

Sure looks that way.

I sure hope so.

Trade him to some crapshack like the Panthers!!

Oilers have the same situation. From an Oilers article.


Following the singing of Sam Gagner, Scott Howson explained that because Gagner had filed for arbitration that a second buy-out window would now be available to the Oilers. The wording in the CBA isn't very clear, but we've confirmed with Mr. Daly that this the case. For those interested in the nuts and bolts of why, Article 11.18 provides a starting point.

You do.

Good for Fraser cashing in a bit on this contract. He earned it.

Liles' contract is a bitter pill.

Carter Ashton is not enough sugar.

Not even close.

i didn't want to be the one to say it...

Non-compliance route. The window opens now for them.

I'm under the impression that that only opens for them if they had guys go to arbitration. maybe it does open just by the election of the arb.
