Like said I get it....just not a fan of having cap penalties...which isnt a huge savings
- Fakepartofme

fair, but I'd rather cap penalties than terrible players.

Buying out Gleason so they can sign Orr and MacLaren both to multi-year contracts!
- NewfieStud

Dion - X
Gardiner - Franson
Rielly - Polak

Need someone else.

The buyout lasts more than 1 year
4 in total
Year 2 1.833M against the cap
- MTL1

If the cap hit is 2 mill, why not just keep Gleason for the last 2 years and hope he regains a little form??

Oh Phaneuf was never going anywhere.
No one is taking the contract.
- Fakepartofme

The thing is is that Dion will stay and in a short time the Leafs will hold some lame press conference saying that they believe in Dion and his captaincy!

Dion - X
Gardiner - Franson
Rielly - Polak

Need someone else.
- BetterCallSaul

get rid of him too.
Granberg/Percy in.

I think Rielly has a bigger role than bottom pair too.

Dion - X
Gardiner - Franson
Rielly - Polak

If you're gonna play Rielly bottom six, then just send him to the Marlies, what a waste of ice time.

X is marlie dman.

Because he really, really sucks.

A point you guys seem to keep missing.

Seriously, he was really, really bad.

well, if he isn't traded, they kinda have to now don't they. Would be pretty bad if they didn't

I assume Nonis is going to try to get Ehrhoff tomorrow, and if that doesn't work out Boyle??
- Hockey_Reverend

Ehrhoff would be better IMO.
Depending on price

- Atomic Wedgie

yes cause polak will be that much better and save us

X is marlie dman.
- zazzle

honestly... I think Percy could do it.

I'm surprised he took this long to request one to be honest. I figured he'd be asking last fall when it became clear that, no matter how well he played, Bernier was going to get the starts.
- gravyface

He was being nice. His personality.

Internal promotion?
Deal with someone tomorrow ?
Kadri/Bernier contracts are up next season

you lost me with that part...

It's the passion that divides all
- LeafMan

lol yup

yes cause polak will be that much better and save us
- DougGilmour_93

According the the market, Polak is a little bit better than Gunnarson.

Gleason was the same value as Liles.

Just the way the pairings look. I don't think that's how our D corps looks come October, and I won't be surprised if Rielly gets a shot at playing 1st power play with Dion.

Ya he's not that bad.
Get over it.

Hopefully they use the freed up cash well....and that million dollars doesnt bite us in the @ss later on.

oh for sure he does

One of Rielly or Gardiner is playing with Phaneuf, and that's a lock. My money is on Rielly because Gardiner has more experience handling a high amount of minutes already.

LD-----RD
Rielly/Phaneuf
Gardiner/Polak
xxx/yyy

Maybe they wave Gleason to sign Paul Ranger!
