Leino needs to go!

Isn't reaching the floor as easy as waiting out the entire offseason to figure out our plan, then calling John Scott at the last second and paying him the difference for one year?

 

I'd love for Milbury to actually have a heart attack if Big John was getting more than $1M next year....

 

It's actually easier and less ridiculous than that...

NHL buyout window: Where your team stands

Buffalo Sabres Buyouts used: 0

 

Ville Leino ($4.5-million cap hit until 2016-17) is the posterboy buyout candidate, but former GM Darcy Regier pulled the trigger on forward Nathan Gerbe ($1.45 million cap hit through 2013-14) last season instead. Gerbe’s buyout, however, did not fall under the amnesty category. He signed with the Carolina Hurricanes and scored 31 points; Leino scored no goals this season. New manager Tim Murray said in April there would be “a very good possibility” he buys out Leino now.

 

Now we just wait for the press release with the headline "Sabres Buyout Ville Leino. Will Commemorate With Burning of #23 Jersey" #Sabres

The one positive aspect about Leino - his embarrassing, laughing-stock, epic failure in Buffalo probably helped get Darcy Regier out of here. For that I guess we should be grateful

 

Poetic justice? Thank the lord for small mercies?

 

Just trying to find a wording that describes something as ironic as this, and there's definitely some truth to it.

Amen to that!
