Anyone understand this? I certainly do not. They should be able to trade him for something

How does the recapture thing work if we trade him?

it does not transfer to the team that trades for him. any recapture penalty is the sabres alone. even if he was traded. thats what i found out. i used cap geeks recapture feature and found that out.
Thx but what do we recapture?
my guess is three to four years from now when were making a push for the cup... we don't need to some salary cap bs happening because of him.
so bite the bullet now as he's not really part of the Cup plans anyways.
"I had meetings with agents noon till 7 yesterday, so I think I’m doing what everyone else is doing," Murray said today. "It’s no different. It’s just talking in generalities, ‘Would you have interest in our client?’ We’ll find out on July 1."
Murray said he's talked with the agents for Steve Ott and Matt Moulson, who played for the Sabres this season before being traded.
"I have talked about them up to this point," the GM said. "I have talked to both of their agents."
While a return of either player is unclear, the Sabres need to hand out big contracts in order to get to the salary cap floor. The cap has not yet been established.
"I can’t imagine that each guy I talked to yesterday that all their clients want to come to Buffalo, but they’re doing their job," Murray said. "Where are we from team one to 30 on their list as far as wanting to make Buffalo a destination? I don’t know."

The Sabres have started the process of buying out Christian Ehrhoff, Tim Murray says. Ehrhoff has option of going through waivers
Tim Murray believes the Ehrhoff camp will decline the waiver option, which would enable the Sabres to buy him out.
Murray will not put Ehrhoff on waivers. So the ball is in Ehrhoff's court.
Tim Murray says he has contemplated buying Ehrhoff out from the moment the Sabres hired the GM. Ehrhoff's contract is a major factor.
But frankly, Tim Murray says, Christian Ehrhoff's desire to not be part of the Sabres and defenseman's inability to improve team are huge.
Sabres GM Tim Murray says he's made it clear that if someone doesn't want to be in Buffalo, he'll get them out. So bye, Christian Ehrhoff.
Christian Ehrhoff's contract combined with the cap recapture rules that would hurt Sabres if he retired early made him untradeable
It's official Ehrhoff is now an UFA!

BUF's buyout of defenceman Christian Ehrhoff has been finalized. He's UFA.
It's a clean slate now.

Seen that coming...
So what does our back 6 look like?
Weber Myers
McCabe Pysk
Ristolainen Zadorov
Leave Pysck, Zad and Risto down another year.
can they all play in Rochester next year?
I agree. We can use sultzer. Do we have another pair?
Tallinder and McBain
who do we have left that's NHL Ready?
Hodgson and Myers? lol
further more, wasnt he supposed to be one of the rebuild core guys with a 10 year contract?
I guess he wanted out and Murray said ok, bye.

Zadorov is not eligible for the AHL.. He would have to go back to Juniors
Sulzer is UFA (don't think he's coming back)
