Truce?
3.8M is still an overpayment for Robidas.
Would you rather give $4M to Gleason and not have Robidas?
3.8M is still an overpayment for Robidas.
Putting someone on waivers for the purpose of waivers, doesn`t mean they are automatically bought out when they clear.
The team still needs to go through with the buyout process.
Why haven`t the Leafs released a news presser stating he is bought out?
Ummmm....Robidas?
Robidas' salary + Gleason's buyout = $3.833M
Gleason's salary = $4M
Savings of $167,000 for a far better defenceman.
Gleason deserves to be on a better team, where forwards actually backcheck
Then he'll do ok as a #5
Don't think of it as $3.8M for Robidas. Think of it as $5.25M for JVR.3.8M is still an overpayment for Robidas.

Makes no sense, letting Gleason go with 4 years of future cap hit and sign a 37 yr old guy for 3 years at 3 million per season.
It's too bad the Leafs dropped Gleason, he was their best D-man down the stretch...

:
-10 with no points in his last 16 games and under 15:00 TOI for half of them. Even the hated Franson was only -4 during the same stretch. Ranger was +5 with 5 points his last 16 games and they still haven't locked him up. After 3 years rust to shake off I think he is more likely to have a better season than Gleason. He must want too much money
Surely you jest?
It makes complete sense. Replacing a bad, overpaid defenceman with a better defenceman at a lower cost is smart management. Big deal, 1/70th of our cap is tied up in Gleason for 4 seasons. It's hardly an issue.
Gleason was NOT one of the Leafs best d-men down the stretch, in fact the only time he made a positive impact was when he first came to the team. Once Carlyle's system got instilled in him though, hoo boy it was ugly.
yes, he's bought out:
Aaron Ward @aaronward_nhl 6m
Carolina Hurricanes sign Tim Gleason to a 1 year at $1.2M contract. #TSN
