The Buyout Thread

[sabresfaninthesouth]

May have something to do with being injured...

"Another topic looming over Regier's head is the compliance buyout option. Each team was given the ability to use two compliance buyouts when the CBA was finalized, in an effort to help teams comply with the terms of the CBA. Each team has 48 hours after the the conclusion of the Stanley Cup Finals to make a decision on whether they will exercise their buyout option. Regier said the Sabres have no plans as of yet to use the option to buyout a player. However, he didn't back off the idea that if Ville Leino were healthy, he would actually become a buyout option.

"Ville continues to workout and is progressing. I see him every day. He's going in the right direction and at this point we do not plan on buying him out," Regier said when asked if Leino was even healthy enough to be considered a buyout option."

Is health an actual requirement for buyout?

And it doesn't surprise me that Regier wouldn't do the buyout anyhow. He's too damned stubborn to ever acknowledge that he made a lousy move.

Or the Flyers Pronger.

Or the Flyers Pronger.

Is Pronger still alive? I know obviously he'll never play again, but like, can he function as a human being?

I thought all along that his was due to the 35+ thing.

The more you know.

he probably is healthy/functional ... probably could retire at this stage and collect on a career ending injury policy

but then his contract would count against the flyers cap

LTIR shenanigans, I say!!!

 

[awaz]

reports are still 'he has some good days and some bad days' in regards to pronger.. he did make a few appearances at flyers events this season, a game or two and a practice or two i think

George McPhee not fond of compliance buyouts

News1130 Sports ‏@News1130Sports now #Canucks defenseman Keith Ballard's agent Ben Hankinson says nothing to report - he will talk with VAN at the NHL Draft.

Bryz has been bought out. Wow.

 

[pixburgher66]

@TSNBobMcKenzie 4m No surprise but that said, still worth a "wow." Flyers buy out Bryzgalov. FLYERS BUY OUT BRYZ - Flyers Inside Out - Anthony SanFilippo

 

[flyersfan4706]

FUCK YES BABY

Let the healing begin, Flyers fans.

Now question, if he signs elsewhere does he regain form or was he purely the product of Tippet's defense first system? Was it the pressure in Philly that got to him?

 

[flyersfan4706]

Holmgren and Snider right now

 

[esls79]

Bryzgalov will now take his talents to South Beach.

@RandyJMiller 3m i just called Bryz. He answered phone and said, "Congratulations to you guys," then hung up on me

 

[pixburgher66]

At a discounted rate, with Vokoun as an option too...I'd seriously take him.
