Salary Cap: How will Nonis use the remaining compliance buy-out and retained salary transaction?

[Hyperglide]

Grabo is the only one I could see being bought out but possibly traded. JML is a much more manageable contract and is an easier asset to move. He could be traded at the deadline for a pick probably.

Grabovski and Liles should be dumped. More so Grabovski, because he throws the center salary structure way out of whack. Kadri, Bolland and Bozak just look at $5,500,000 million and they're laughing. We won't miss Grabo very much even if he does return to form. There's other guys out there.

 

[Parkdale]

Unless there is an asset for compliance buyout trade opportunity that Nonis can pull the trigger on, they will save the remaining compliance buyout for 2014.

most likely for 2014 for grabo. if he doesn't return to form it will be used on him most likely.

If its 2.2mill this year and 1.2mill next yr a regular buyout isnt bad.

Buy Out Grabo, Trade Liles.

I agree with the great majority of people here, this is a total waste of a compliance buy-out. Seems uncharacteristic of Nonis, something must be up...

2 days until free agency!! Anything can happen between now and then!

I'm guessing Nonis concluded Komi was the least moveable asset. The move puts us at 19 mil in space with only Kadri and Franson as critical RFA's. If we call them 6 mil that's 13 mil for a dman and three wingers or a dman, 2 wingers , a center and shift grabo to wing.

13 Mil would get Weiss, Clarkson and Scudari which would solve most of our problems.

no need to retain $$ for either Grabo, or Liles ...once Friday hits, and Wiess/Filppula get $6+ on 7 year deals then Grabo's contract will be cheap in comparison.

GM's = duh
