I did not say anything about Buffalo. And they really didn’t. Not for 2 years anyway. A 1 year stopgap maybe, 2nd year was a killer.
You made the trade with Buffalo, so it's assumed you meant he would go there. Both Buffalo and Anaheim have a need to pick up experienced defensemen, and have the cap space next year and this year. Hell, Anaheim picked up Harrington on waivers a couple weeks after Reilly cleared and we've been running Beaulieu all season who is a PTO guy.
Problem is his salary is $4 million next season, so the teams who had the cap hit probably weren't interested in coughing up an extra million. It probably won't cost much, but it will cost to dump him.
As to Forbort, I'm interested if I'm Anaheims GM, but I'm leveraging your cap problems to get him cheap. I like the idea of sending Vaakainen back for him, as he has not developed fast enough in Anaheim to hold out a spot from the young talent we have waiting for a spot on LD.
