Well, Mason, you had an interesting run. That hat trick against the Oilers was sure fun, but you didn't do much else.

See ya, Raymond. Chiasson gets your #21 now.

We've freed a bunch of contract spots. A bunch of signings incoming?

Is there an option to take the $2.1M cap hit all this year if they wanted?

Another forced retirement for a 30 year old guy. League is much different than it used to be.

Not a huge surprise I guess.

Too bad they have to take that $1,050,000 hit in 2017/18 but it shouldn't make too much difference.

Another $2,100,000 of breathing room this season now.

Hopefully for the purpose of signing Colborne. Tre always has something up his sleeve though. He is my favourite GM ever. Just so calculated and learns from mistakes.

Glad he is gone. The deal made some sense at the time but we learned quickly that it wasn't going to work out

This buyout is the right thing to do . Mason Raymond good luck going forward, you were one of the very lucky few to have played in the NHL.
