Since I never liked the guy, my only real thought about this is "good, cause that clears cap space". Other than that, I got nothing. Sorry, Kamal.

Hehe.....well, at least you still left a comment!

Me either actually. Not much to say here and not really a suprise at all.

All it is is step 1 in Pierre Gauthier's offseason plan.

Things could get interesting around draft day methinks...
