With Patrik Berglund having been placed on 'unconditional waivers' for the purpose of mutual contract termination, his remaining cap hit for this season of $2,235,484 will come off the #Sabres salary cap, as will his $3.85M cap hit for the 3 years remaining on his deal after that

I said on Saturday that I would eat my hat if he walked away from that money. I can't get my jaw up off floor. What an amazing day it is for us.

I am guessing the rest of Homies info is true and that he is playing overseas in a few weeks.

That ROR trade looks even better today for us. Thanks for being a poor sport Berglund.

Sounds like both sides are agreeing and there isn't going to be any issue with this Berglund thing. That trade looks pretty good now.

Why the frank would he want to walk away - there's still about $12 million left on the table.

I wish I could afford to throw a temper tantrum like this.

I'm not particularly happy as a Leafs fan to see this, but I totally get why you gentlemen would be ecstatic about it.

If any of you guys bump into Berglund, would you mind asking him to give Zaitsev a call?

Thanks

He wants to play overseas. If he fought it, he wouldn't be able to do that until next year i believe.

Gruden talking about bringing in Nate Peterman. How would you like to be a Raiders fan? Let's trade Mack and now let's bring in Peterman.

This has been one of the weirdest situations I've seen for this franchise in 30 years. He had a NTC or NMC and missed the deadline??? STL got to trade him without getting a list. Then he gets here, sucks and I guess was complaining weeks ago about ice time. Now he just walks away from millions. Wild.

it has to be the right guy though


ror didn't work
okposo didn't work
leino didn't work
moulson didn't work
sheary is not working


and it can't be for a young kid and get tage production


and I don't want to part with risto for RNH





move the dead weight and see if rochester can salvage our season

Well, they do get some cap relief with Bergy gone now.
I agree the smart play is to see what the youngsters can do 1st before making a big move.
As I said before, pull Nylander up and let's see what this kid has...now nearly 21, his time has come to show what he has...or what he can be at least.
He doesn't need to score like Skinner, although who would argue.
Evaluate whether the kid is a sniper, if he plays in the dirty areas, does the puck seem to find him ... all leading indicators of what he will round into with a bit more baking.
Give him 15 games on Jack's wing.
Push Skunk to RW on line with Casey, and put Tage on his left (he looked good there for a couple of games)
Tell Sobotka that if he could hang with Bergy to "contract his illness" that would be great.
