Jonathan Cheechoo's contract bought out by Senators

It was expected by everyone, but the day has finally come: Jonathan Cheechoo's contract has been bought out by the Ottawa Senators.

Cheechoo came to the Senators in the Dany Heatley trade, and despite his work ethic was not able to come close to his previous 56 goal season, scoring only five goals before being sent to the AHL's Binghamton Senators.

I'd like to think the bleeding heart Cheechoo fans will fade away now

But that’s probably hoping for too much. Good ridance to this abomination.

Cannot play with 'em, cannot win with 'em, cannot coach with 'em. Cant do it.

I wish him all the best

But I’m glad he won’t be taking up a roster spot in Ottawa anymore.

I wish Euge had kept him in Bingo so he’d be less of a cap-hit while toiling in obscurity.

Peter pointed out that this option would cost Melynk $7M this year.

When you think about it like that, it’s easy to understand the buyout.

How would it cost him 7M?

according to nhlnumbers the cap hit will be .667M and 1.167M. I thought it’d be at least a million a year, so it isn’t too bad.
