Please detroit

 

[A1LeafNation]

Please Leafs!

 

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

I could definitely see the Rangers going after him.

 

[Captain Mountain]

This was an obvious step. He'll likely have a ton of suitors though since he's a cheaper young C.

 

[Dominance]

Penguins should be on this for the hole at 3C.

 

[Alklha]

There is going to be a lot of interest in him.

 

[CupInSIX]

For the money, he'll be the best available C on the market now.

 

[M2Beezy]

Wild Bill is smiling somewhere

 

[themelkman]

Id take a shot on him. Almost scored 60 points a few seasons back

 

[BobClarkesfrontteeth]

I could see him being pursued by a dozen teams. He will lose 10.7 million with the buy out but I could see him getting around 3 million for 3 or 4 years. Gets out of Columbus and still gets his cash.

 

[gojetsgo]

I can see the jets having interest

 

[CasusBelli]

Please Rangers. Need a competent C badly.

 

[bleedblue1223]

Unless a team is willing to gift him PP time, I don't really see the point.

 

[SEALBound]

Penguins are the "restart your career" capital of the league and they are in need of exactly what he brings.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Please Oilers

 

[HoseEmDown]

Is this still a 1/3 buyout cause he would've been under 26 at the regular buyout period or a regular 2/3 buyout?

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

Please Rangers. Need a competent C badly.

Agreed. Come to New York, Alex

 

[GOilers88]

Would be a solid fill for the Oilers third line pivot.

 

[MintyFresh88]

Zito not qualifying Wallmark and then this happening seems like an obvious connection. We will see, though, as others have said, I assume there will be quite a bit of interest.

 

[CupInSIX]

Guerin will sign him 6mx4

 

[613Leafer]

A lot of teams will have interest. Clearly a ton of fans do!

He'll be pricier than a lot of the bargain bin UFAs available (though should still be a reasonable bang for your buck I'd think).

yes

 

[EveryDay]

How much are they saving this year?

 

[CupInSIX]

How much are they saving this year?

4.5m ish in cap?
