Gerbe on Buyout Waivers


That Aud Smell

That one seems like kind of a waste. They're burning up a buy out on a relatively cheap contract with only one year remaining. Unless they plan on being near the cap, they were better off sending him to the AHL.

In my elation that he was off the team, I didn't think about this. Kind of a curious decision when you have 2-3 who could be buyout candidates next year.

At 5'3, he absolutely needs to be a serious scoring threat... a top-2 line guy... and he just isn't. Good move waiving him. I wish Hefty Smurf the best! Hopefully he will catch on somewhere else.

The funk is this about?

 

Seriously.

Regular waivers and a demotion to Roch would have made more sense to me.

They save roughly half his cap hit that way and still retain the two buyouts. If nothing else, this is more proof to never trust the words of any GM.

FWIW, Gerbe is eligible for the 1/3rd buyout and should not be a compliance buyout

It means he will count against the cap for two years, rather than not at all. Still unless we are up against the cap i'm not sure why we are doing this? Just send him to Roch

Is this a compliance buyout or a regular buyout?

 

As for the GM, maybe Darcy asked Gerbe what he'd rather do, play in the AHL or get bought out.

Sending him to Roch still counts against the cap in the new CBA.

Gotta be a regular buyout. Not sure why he wouldn't just be sent to Rochester.

No room for the little guy on the new Sabres.

Has to be an RBO. Would be a waste of a CBO with 1 year left for such a small amount.

It would count $325K, hardly a back breaker when you have 14mil space. Now it will count at $600K for two years, hence why it was weird
