Zero chance that worthless piece of trash disgraces this franchise again after this season. Fans booing the $6 million floater every time he touches the puck is not something Aquilini will want happening. Maybe he retires and then the team hires him for some lame position. That way, he doesn't lose $ and no longer has to face the horrid media and fans on a regular basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Kneel Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) What are the actual costs for buying out LE? Will it be financially feasible, especially for AQ. Cap saving would be 6M? Would there be a penalty for next season and the following season? Would a team take LE off our hands if paired with, say, Jake of some such value?

Aqua pays him $3m out of the $4m owed. It really comes down to how bad we need the $2m next year. Maybe we don't buy him out and he either retires, we find a team to take him at 50%, or we make a deal with Seattle (Asset for ED considerations) to take him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd probably want the full 4 million tho. So all you need to do is find 199,999 other people like me and we're good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think a deal with Seattle to move cap is likely, whatever we move to them is something we need too. A lot does hinge on who they take, if they grab a cheap prospect like Lind then for sure Loui has to be bought out. If they take Jake maybe not.

I don't think so either, and it would be for an asset we probably wouldn't want to part with.

But until the ed happens, it remains a possibility. lets say we protect Lind and expose Jake. That does us some good cap-wise. Or we keep Jake and lose Lind. Yes it stinks, but its also not a huge hit compared to losing a top 4 d, e.g. We're going to lose someone, I don't see the need to pay Seattle more to do it. Unless of course they want to do something like take Holtby + a b prospect and a 3rd, something along those lines. Otherwise, meh, let them take who they take.

And we waive him down to Utica we save short of 1M for next year? But keep the 6M cap hit next year but zero cap hit the following season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happy if Lind was the last protected player (possible 3rd C) then we paid Seattle a low pick not to take Gadjovich. Then they can have their choice of MacEwen/ Virtanen/ Bowey/ Holtby/ others.

Hell if it were up to me, I'd potentially even expose Pearson and protect Gadjovich (and I've been one of the guys 'defending' the Pearson signing as 'ok'). Or at least 'threaten' SEA with it while negotiating for what they're taking. As for Eriksson, I can't see how we wouldn't buy him out. It saves Aqua $1m of actual cash on a sunk cost and it spreads that cost over 2 years while also saving us $2m of needed cap space. The year following is nowhere near as tight for cap and the $1m hit is largely inconsequential. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
