Why???

 

[Super Cake]

Will be quickly picked up by another team imo.

 

[LeafChief]

Wow.

Surprising.

 

[DonskoiDonscored]

As a fan of another Pacific division team, I approve.

 

[Hally BlackWood]

someone will grab him. nashville?

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Yeah curious why Arizona would be buying out Vermette, Would've to think that some team would make a trade with the Yotes for him. This is kind of curious.

 

[SLAPSHOT723]

That's out of left field. He only had one year left.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Well that just came out of nowhere, no?

Something else must be brewing for the Yotes.

 

[Captain Timo]

Hmm, why?

 

[izzy]

What?

He does have a full NMC, so there's that.

It's based on last seasons numbers? He will most likely be gobbled up before reaching Nashville.

 

[BatVader]

He's French, so the Habs must be interested.

Unless Poile has something else cooking or there is more to Vermette's situation we don't know about, I don't see why not.

 

[Arthuros]

Can a team that bought out a player immediately sign him to another contract?

 

[Mad Brills*]

Bozak could fit well in the desert.....

 

[sandysan]

yeah this seems strange especially if the other shoe does not drop. My guess is that he won't have to worry about another team picking him up.

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

I think Chicago would be stupid to pass up bringing him back to make their center depth rock solid again if he is willing to play for around a mil

Toews
Anisimov
Kruger
Vermette

Vermette was crucial down the stretch in matchups and with faceoffs

 

[robsenz]

Damn...if only Ottawa didn't just sign Kelly...Bring him back!

 

[Homesick]

Oilers need a 3C

Lucic-McDavid-Eberle
Pouliot-RNH-Draisaitl
Maroon-Vermette-Puljujarvi
Hendricks-Letestu-Kassian

Unless Vermette is retiring or something. Weird
