    That's fair, I had forgotten about the short season.

        I think if ennis was part of a deal, then I wouldn't mind. if it is just to part ways, I wouldn't do it. Moulson is really the odd man out. ennis out performed him, makes less and played like 25% of the season. moulson, you can save money and not worry about missing any upside. he's mostly done. maybe he can resurge on a team like Chicago, but they don't have cap space for him. their superstars are making other better.

          Does trading him shift his burden completely off the Sabres books ?

              it depends on how trade is structured. If enis is traded, i would susect the trade for ennis is most likely to a team with excess talent and no cap room. they'll send us someone with a large salary piece and then we send them ennis to save face and some early picks or prospects.

                I know we don't need cap, but another one to consider would be Gorgeous Gorges. We need to upgrade there.

                  How does the timing work? Ideally, since we have the cap, we could make the decision to buy out Ennis and/or Gorges AFTER we see if we can find suitable upgrades in FA.

                  Personally, though, I don't see the pressing need to buy out either one. Ennis is a top 6 forward but the team did better without him than with him, and Gorges is not going to be part of the future for this team. I'm not gonna be upset if they do leave but I see no reason to force them out the door either.

                    I agree. But between the two of them, Gorges is definitely not worth his salary. It was a salary dump by the Habs and not worth it.
