He may or may not be easy to move, his 13-14 cap hit is a bigger issue than his play with the cap dropping.

3 of the 4 goals we gave up were short handed and our 4.25 million dollar guy isn't good enough t play in that situation

Sometimes I get the feeling Hab fans know almost nothing about hockey and then I read threads like this and it confirms it.

He hasn't been great, but saying he is horrible because of 4.25 mil is skewing your judgment.

No we should trade him and keep the buyout for somebody else or 2014.

I would hold on to the buyout if possible. I think there is room for GMs of rich teams to be creative here. At the moment, Bourque is playing well enough to avoid a buyout and someone might take Kaberle for a 5th, 6th or even a 7th round pick. That would allow Bergevin to trade for assets, and a bad contrat and burn a buyout.
