Phil_314 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I'd do these moves, as long as Stewart's willing train Kassian-style and become physically fit so he can make the most of his physical gifts. Hopefully down the line he could become a power forward like his brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I prefer Ballard over Babchuk, not bad but it is more of a laterial move, nothing that improves us much IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pears Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 how is the salary cap not an issue for us its going to be a real big huge issue for the canucks compared to most nhl teams because we have to shed so much salary to become cap compliant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawn antoski Posted December 16, 2012 Author Share Posted December 16, 2012 How do we have to become cap compliant when we have $2.4 million of cap space? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimLahey Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 as of today the canucks have 2.4 million next year and beyond we all know its going to be less. Gillis has to figure out something now so he doesnt have to blow up this team in a couple of years ballards contract is a bad cap hit, for the next 3 years . Gillis needs to get rid of his contract now. It doesn't matter what the cap is, hes got a bad contract. The main reason to do these trades is to make the team better in the long run by spending every dollar effiecently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawn antoski Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 Okay simple. - Raymond is on a 1 year deal, either trade him or else if he doesn't preform let him go at the end of the year. There's 2.5+ gone. - Manny is a UFA at the end of the season, sign him for less, 1 Mill or less. There's 1.5+ Gone. - Alberts is a UFA, he's making 1.225, if he is going to stay on our team he is going to most likely take a paycut, to around 800k would be my guess. There's 400k+ gone. - Booth is a UFA in two years, Gillis will get him to take less to stay most likely, my guess it around 3-3.5 Million. There's 1-1.5 Million gone. - Luongo will most likely be traded, and there will probably be alot less cap space coming back our way, let's say Bozak and Kadri. There's about 3-4+ Million gone. Add it up the short term moves (Everything but Booth) and we will have saved 7.4 - 8.4+.Then once you add in Booth it goes up another 1 - 1.5 Plus players will have to take discounts on any new contracts anyways due to the players share and cap going down. I think we will be alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jägermeister Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I'd go for it. In the end Babchuck and Ballard are pretty equal, but I'd rather have Stewart than Raymond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
