How about horcoff as a potential buyout? Saw something on puck daddy today discussing it

We don't need centers

We don't need centers

True, but we do need forwards and we could slide Henrique to wing

If you're going to deal with Edmonton I would go for Sam Gagner.

He's not talking about dealing, talking about who might be available via FA due to the amnesty buyouts and Horcoff was mentioned as a possibility on Puck Daddy earlier today or last night.

I get that this is a buyout thread, but I'm just talking about bringing anyone in from Edmonton, trade or buyout.

Got ya. Though I have a feeling Gagner isn't getting bought out on a one year deal, lol. I really like the thought of Hossa coming to NJ, but surely that's nothing more than a pipedream. I think if we can pick up anything viable as a top 6 RW, it'll help significantly.

I assume the top 6 is gonna look like this:

Kovy-Zajac-Zubrus
Elias-Henrique-Butler

I don't mind Zubs in the top 6, but I don't like the thought of him as a first line guy since he's not gonna hit more than 40-45 points and I definitely don't like counting on an unproven young player like Butler to be someone who can contribute well and regularly. Though I guess the two of them could be swapped at any point without much issue, I just cringe at our two top RWs being Zubs and Butler or possibly Clarky.

I hear that! Edmonton and New Jersey are a match made in heaven this offseason, as far as trade pieces are concerned.. I think we have a few disposable pieces they could use in exchange for a good forward or two. Love their roster!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but each team now has 2 amnesty buyouts, right? Is it 1 before this season and 1 before next season? Or are they both for before next season? Thanks.

What I heard is that it's this upcoming summer and next summer. A team can use them at different times or at the same time.

The Penhuins get 4 buyouts and the Devils get none though.
