radoran Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Bryz has had his tryouts, and failed. The starters job was handed to him, and he handed it back. There shouldn't even be a discussion about this, it's so painfully obvious which goalie is earning his paycheck and which one is so grossly overpaid it's sickening.The question is how do you handle the "grossly overpaid it's sickening" guy? Considering he's the one who happens to be under contract for eight more seasons with a NMC?Without resorting to "ifs" and "mights" ("In a new CBA there might be a buyout clause and if so then...") - what's the best course of action?Throw him under the bus. Then reverse over him and drive forward a few times?I don't see them seriously buying him out until after next season at best - CBA notwithstanding.Thoughts?

flyercanuck Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 It's still about getting points. Do we need to "baby" this guy. If we do, we might as well give up now. Play Bob, and hope bryz mans up and wins the job back. What the hell else can we do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snider is quite influential in those league discussions.... I think we can pretty much bet there will be some new buyout clauses. But, to your point, I just can't see them totally giving up on him that quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertmega Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Buyout is a tough decision especially since we have Pronger to worry about. Best bet is if he sits too long, he'll retire and go to the KHL. Even with that I am not too sure how that works with the current CBA.

doom88 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 IIRC, Nylander did something similar with the Caps, and the salary came off the books. I remember being ultra-pissed about it, whatever it exactly was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aziz Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 IIRC, Nylander did something similar with the Caps, and the salary came off the books. I remember being ultra-pissed about it, whatever it exactly was.he was waived and then assigned to grand rapids, and then went overseas. the wonders of not having a NMC with a player.

flyercanuck Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 @aziz Someday, hopefully, Holmgren stops handing them out to every player he signs. But I doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
