I'd like to have him here. Florida needs a kid with the heart Gerbe has. Throw him next to Bjugstad and watch the magic. - Panthers88
gerbe sucks, can have all the heart u want. same with ian white. |

Was coming off back surgery last year and I thought he would get one more season to prove himself. Always gave a good effort, their are other guys I would have waived before him. |

Guys with his work ethic will work their way back to the NHL, I assume he'll have a couple offers on a 2 way contract starting in the AHL but I don't see him being there very long. I agree though, he's looked a bit off since the injury (he had a concussion too no?) |

Strange move, only makes 1.;5 mill why bother buying him out? LEino i can understand, but this doesnt give a lot more cap room... - 13sundin13
Leino is/was hurt to end the season. he cannot be bought out. IMO, this team gives him one more year to get it together. |

This is a good sign to me. We normally keep nice guys who try hard so hopefully this is part of our new direction.
Oh and yeah, cut Stafford too. |

I can understand he was a fan favorite but in reality this is a great move. |

PLus if Leino can get right he is a great possesion player. Bring Briere back so Leino can get rolling again. |

How is this a "Great move" it's a move to cut a player. Nothing more, nothing less. |

He was taking up precious space on the roster. In a rebuild any cutting of the fat is a great move in my opinion. |

Leino on a 2nd line would be pretty good.. he is a + passer and is good with other talent around him...
I would almost prefer him over stafford as our 1RW right now. |

I hope not. Iginla is a guy you try to get when you are a contender, not to mention he was barely noticed in most of the playoffs. Pass. |

The fact that we couldn't give him away for a pick is telling as to how he is viewed around the league. Geez, the guy wasn't making that much. |

FYI, the type of waivers that Gerbe's on, besides for sake of a buyout, is also what players go on when the team and the player mutually agree to terminate the contract.
My guess is the Sabres are doing this to allow Gerbe to catch on somewhere else |

i dont think it is about cap space, i think it is about roster spot and simply waiving him (nobody will take him) and putting him in Rochester still counts against you cap so this makes sense. |

i am fine with that.. gives the amerks a constant captain and it is a hard working guy.. Gerbe just wasn't cutting it and there was no point in carrying on with him.. |
