HFBoards - View Single Post - Salary Cap: Buyouts

We're seriously talking about buying out guys like Hecht and Boyes? That's laughable. Both are productive players, even if overpaid, and both contribute to the excellent depth we have on the wing. Hecht is a good two-way player and our best puck possession winger. Boyes can give you 50+ points. And even if you didn't want either, both could be traded, making the buyout issue completely moot.

The only player who should be in the discussion for a buyout is ShaMo. But I think he can be traded, too. Or, if not, somebody may claim him off waivers.

Besides, who are we signing to make buyouts an issue? Brad Richards, Kevin Bieksa, and Brooks Laich? Yeah, right. This thread is going to quickly turn into "Grind your axe against a player you don't want to see on the team next season," if it hasn't already.
