I thought the buyout window closed or was closing today?
- Zschalberg

It closes at 5 PM. I expect Gorges to be bought out. He would only cost $1.3 towards the cap this year and next. Saves us $2.6 million this year.

As much as I felt that Pomminville represented the mediocrity that the team and fanbase was enamored by, I could see him doing good things with either Eichel or O'Reilly.

Pommer was the one that I HATTTTEEEEDDDD trading in our tank years... I loved that dude... He was such a hard working player... granted this was like 4 years ago and he is now 34...

I've always been a big Pominville fan. Love to have him back home. He is far more likely to be on the ice and contributing for 1M more than Ennis would have been.

You guys win the trade for sure. Nice start by the new GM.

I love how Ek said he broke the trade

We would have had to place them on waivers yesterday in order to do so. No waivers that I know of.

AS is stands

Risto
Antipin
Scandella
Beaulieu(sp?)
McCabe
Gorges
Bogosian

Guhle
Fedun
Falk

Personally I think Bogo stays and Housley get s a shot at fixing his game. Gorges is the one I could see moved/bought out if the window is still open

I'm always the first to say we don't need Pommer back here however, we are making strides to be a better team up front and the back end. Moving Ennis is huge.

Why would we waste 1.3 next year. We dont need space this year. We have plenty.

We're also going to sign Vanek and get the band back together. Where's Stafford?

This. If we needed we could save 1M by putting him in the AHL without gaining any cap from it next year with a buyout.

I've always liked Vanek, that wouldn't be a bad idea just no Stifford.

I didn't think and even said Foligno was not long for this new GM, coach and style of play and I had no sources

I can live with Pomminville at $5.6 for only two seasons. With a team like this, term is far more important than salary. And right now, nobody other than Eichel or Ristolainen should be locked up for more than four years.

Killed over trading Ennis and Foligno? We were fine on cap, we have room to maneuver, it was a good deal by us. TM might have gotten killed because he probably would have given up a 1st whereas we gave up a 3rd

Hmmm.... I don't know if Pommer could keep up with Kane and Eichel honestly.
