[News] Vancouver waives Ballard. Update: Ballard will be bought out

[sureLoss]

he is going to be on uncoditional waivers today for a buyout per McKenzie

[Erick Estrada]

Another beauty move by Gillis to add to his tale of how to turn the best roster in the league to an also-ran.

[QUOTE=Calgary4LIfe;4312430]Flames will have to vastly over-pay to get marquee players. However, with the cap going down, there will be a lot of UFAs available in August. If the Flames feel they need to get another guy to fill a hole, that would be a good option.

These are all the upcoming UFA defencemen:

Thats a very long list - hope our pro scouts have gone through it and have found some young guys with potential - personally like Sauer and O'Byrne

^Sauer's career looks to be over... he is still having concussion symptoms from a Phaneuf hit in 2011

Rumor is that he will sign with Minnesota.

@NHLbyMatty1m
Take this to bank: Keith Ballard signs in his home state of Minnesota, with the Wild. They need third pairing D-man

Is he credible?
