don't you have to wait 48 hours to be bought out? we weren't using a compliance but i believe that its still 48 hours on the wire to be bought out. ergo. he went down Monday, he cleared Tuesday - so he could be bought out Wednesday/Thursday.
Don't believe so Daisy, just needs to clear waivers. Panthers bought out Jovo and released a news presser on their site after he cleared waivers

Nothing about Gleason being bought out on mapleleafs.com

Someone suggested that he won't get bought out until the cap space is needed, such as for the mystery center Nonis may or may not sign or trade for. That sounds plausible.

Thanks to denial, I’m immortal.
i know you meant jeff finger, but that sentence is just wrong!!!
and no we can't, his cap hit will still count even if he's sent down. so no point in sending him to marlies.

haha too bad.. well.. i'm not sure if they could have made it anymore clear that he was bought out in order to bring Robidas in.. and I don't think they'll sit him in the PB every night until Robidas breaks his leg again. It is clear he will be bought out, the worst puck possession player on the league's worst puck possession team..

Isn't there a buyout window?
Also, isn't it shady to not cut a guy loose while other teams still have money to throw around?

It makes no sense to have put him on Unconditional Waivers only to not buy him out. There are only two periods in which you are able to buy-out a player, and the second window only opens if your team has multiple club-elected salary arbitration hearings. If they were only interested in buying him out if their arbitration awards were high and they needed the money then they wouldn't have bothered with unconditional waivers until the second buy-out window opened.
The second buy-out period is 48 hours and Unconditional Waivers are only 24 hours so there's no reason to put him on UW this far out from a potential buy-out. I don't think there's ever been an instance of a player being put on Unconditional Waivers only for the club to retain the player - usually the player receives notice of a buy-out before he is actually put on UW.

Can they not send him to the Marlies and have 900K in cap relief, with the rest of his salary counting against our cap? That might be better for a year, than buying him out right now.

We just finished paying for Tuckers buyout….
Dumb move by my Leafs. Gleason played good, blocking shots and whatnot. Now we got stuck with cap implications for the next 4 years? Gleason was 4 mil and I'm sure the cap effect is 1mil over the next 4 years. Which means we have 3mil room. I don't think we could get someone better than Gleason in 3mil. We should have stuck with Gleason for the 2 years. Maybe even traded him near the deadline for a pick.

I wonder if Nonis is waiting to see if they can land another d-man before buying him out...
Gleason could have been a precursor for the potential Gorges trade, but since that fell through maybe they're waiting to get another LHD before buying him out .. If they can't get one I wonder if they'll hang on to Gleason

Truce?
Ummmm....Robidas?
Robidas' salary + Gleason's buyout = $3.833M
Gleason's salary = $4M
Savings of $167,000 for a far better defenceman.
Robidas/Polak will be an upgrade on Gunnar/Gleason for PK impact, and that is what we really need.
The reason I like these signings is because they are all RC players.
And, having faith in RC's inability to coach, I think Robidas/Polak will look terrible under him and will guarantee RC will be out the door during the first few months of the season.

There are different types of NHL waivers.
In order for a team to execute a buyout, the player must first clear unconditional waivers. A waiver claim by another team preempts the buyout process. Players with no-move clauses can reject the option of waivers and proceed immediately to a buyout.
