Laughs buy out Grabkowski Sabres interested?

[DetDannyWilliams]

The Toronto Maple Leafs placed Mikhail Grabovski on unconditional waivers Thursday with the intention of using a compliance buyout on him, the steam said in a statement.
Grabovski had four years remaining on a contract that would have paid him $21.5 million and cost the Maple Leafs $5.5 million per season against the NHL salary cap. This would be the second of two compliance buyouts allowed to the Maple Leafs, who also used one on defenseman Mike Komisarek.
After scoring 52 goals in the previous two seasons combined before signing a five-year, $27 million contract extension, Grabovski had nine goals and 16 points in 48 games for Toronto last season.

makes sense he would be close to family and friends, also he fits what Darcy wants "The fit may be positional; it may be character; it may be to add some scoring if we need some scoring depending on whether or not we get involved in the trade market." - Darcy Regier

They ain't the Laughs!

dumping this salary opened the door for resigning Bozak and signing Clarkson.

The Leafs are one defenseman away from being a Cup contender.

I am afraid to say, there is a new team to laugh at in the NHL.
