L'Orange Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Is it just me or are the Canucks dumping salary to prepare for a trade or signing? Ryan Parent - $925,000 Aaron Rome - $750,000 Andrew Ebbett - $525,000 Marc Andre Gragnani - $550,000 Mike Duco - $550,000 Victor Oreskovitch - $605,000 $3.9 Million in cap space. Now if they choose to let Salo walk (might be a bad idea) that adds another 2 million. $5.9 million in cap space. A significant signing/trade or two is coming down the pike. I can feel it. Or maybe it's just gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanev's Smirk Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 They are shedding contracts. Without these players we are futher removed from the 50 contract limit (a good thing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BedBeats™2.0 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I think they are going to pursue Salo for 1 more year. The only player that will set everything in motion shortly is Zach Parise, and to a lesser degree Bobby Ryan/Nash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luongo_girl1 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Maybe its money for Burrows? Isn't he due for an extension? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goalie13 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I don't think it has anything to do with cap space. Those are small contracts. I think it may have more to do with the 50 contract limit and the limited value those guys brought to the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grape Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Gillis cut down our 9 defence system (Hammer, Juice, Ballard, Salo, Tanev, Edler, Rome, Alberts, Grags) to a 7 defence system (minus grabs and rome) Must be a defenceman coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Optimist Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Not going forward with MA Gragnani does not sound like a solid plan, wonder what is up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanj Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 To make a pitch for Suter. I doubt we land him but I bet Gillis puts in a serious offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BedBeats™2.0 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Betcha they lock up Schnieds in the next 48 hours before a possible labour strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Only half of that cleared space ($2M of the $3.9M) was on our books for the big club last year. The rest were on the Wolves so that doesn't point to anything particularly, other than they didn't impress enough to be brought back. They are allowed to go over the cap in the summer by a good chunk (what is it, 10% or something like that?) but have to be cap compliant after training camp. That means that would have room with our roster from last year to sign Parise or Suter and still not be in trouble with the league. Most teams are aiming for under at this point with uncertainty around how the new CBA will go, but we'd still be able to make moves after the fact if we do make some big signings.
