  1. If he takes a 1 year deal that fits, then why not?
  2. Range of years: 2014 (JB's first year) - 2018 (as only 13 players drafted after then have played in the NHL). Source: EliteProspects. They have pages for each team's draft picks over the years. Count up the picks, and the games played and the top 10 picks and their games played and do the math. Outside of top 10 picks, the Canucks have the 7th or 8th fewest games played per pick of all franchises over that period. About 2/3rds of the league average. Boston has by far the most. Benning's score is going to be lower because he loves to trade away seconds and thirds, which is worth noting. But other GMs do this too and you might argue that the GM of a rebuilding team shouldn't. The fanbase massively overestimates how well we have drafted of late. Just because we haven't whiffed on every single pick like in the Gillis era doesn't mean we have drafted well.
  3. It's probably got something to do with whoever is running Boston's amateur scouting... From 2014 to 2018 drafts, the everage pick outside the top 10 has played 19.77 games. Boston have managed an average of 54.94. JB has an average of 12.6 and Chiarelli had 11.76 at Edmonton. Not much above league average COMBINED.
  4. If they think it's gonna a short term low cap, no player will sign an 8 year deal. A 10-15% salary cut and some compliance buyouts (maybe 2 per team) might be more realistic
  5. This was decided last year. It's the Yotes. https://www.nhl.com/coyotes/news/coyotes-to-move-to-central-division-in-2021-22/c-302594896
  6. Eriksson's deal is going to be problematic for signing a whole bunch of young guys, but I guess this helps. Ultimately I be looking to move him for a higher cap hit and shorter term contract. But if there's a chance Ladd is on Robidas Island before the end of his deal, then this is a good move - depending on our confidence in Madden to work out like Gaudette. Alternatively, replace Gaudette with Madden and a 2nd round pick in 2021 - does that get it done?
  7. The contingency stadium for Yokohama was Tokyo. A typhoon 10% of the size would have ruled that out
  8. No one thinks those have should have gone ahead add originally scheduled, but no-one thinks they should have just been cancelled. The soccer world cup won't be in an unstable region for another 3 years!
  9. Scotland now have legal advice that games cancelled due to weather can be rescheduled. The cynic in me points to the outright cancellation of the Italy-NZ game as being as much about justifying forcing Japan into the last 8 as anything else. The schedule (always playing teams on their shortest rest) and refereeing has been very kind on Japan (end of Samoa game, Ireland getting clarification that most of the penalties awarded against them in their Japan game were wrong, etc). World Rugby are making FIFA look good right now.
  10. If Gaudette + not much can get Callan Foote, then I think we make that trade. A lot depends on management's confidence in Madden stepping into that 3C role that Gaudette would vacate. A future blueline like the following would be pretty formidable: Hughes - Foote Juolevi - Myers Tryamkin - Stecher
  11. Hell, Gusev would be a great sweetener for the Eriksson contact if nothing else...
  12. At the start of a season, we would need to be under the cap before placing anyone on LTIR. We would effectively need the $5.333333m in cap space at that point, and not the 3 million. We might have stomached that for a year and claimed back a 4 million credit against the penalty, but that would only knock it down to 2.5 mill per year.
  13. I think the Canucks might challenge that the 800k retained for 5 years is not being factored into the penalty. Assuming he was here for the full 13-14 season, the total cap hit would have been $21,333,333 and total salary of $30,144,000. We also took a cap hit of 4 millon (5*800k) over the last 5 seasons on the retained salary, so effective cap hit was $25,333,333. Difference is then $4,810,667, which is $1,603,556 for 3 years. (which could be transferred to the Panthers in what we can call the Matheson Rule *he he he*) I'd expect the league to reject that, but it's worth a shot. I don't have actual salary paid and cap charge figures from the last season Lou was here, but as he left a little early, it would likely reduce how much we are penalised by a little.
