It's all about asset management to garner more quality depth. +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wallstreetamigo Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 It very much is. Fans who want to re-sign Ehrhoff are still trying to recapture that 2011 feeling. It didn't work for Darryl Sutter when he re-signed Jokinen and Tanguay. I doubt JB is even considering him anyways. Our defense is crowded and Ehrhoff doesn't fit with his vision of "meat and potatoes style" type of player. Or maybe fans who want to re-sign Ehrhoff want a true offensive minded puck moving dman who also has shown he can pair with Edler to bring out his best. To say people only want to re-sign Ehrhoff to relive the glory days is BS. Some probably do but not me. It is about what this team needs. And we need a guy like Ehrhoff very badly. And maybe Ehrhoff needs a team like the Canucks badly too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Hindsight Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 How do buyouts work exactly ? http://www.capgeek.com/player/121 It looks like Ehrhoff had a front end loaded contract, and had already paid him 22 million over 3 seasons. (10m, 8m, 4m). They will buy out 2014-2021 (worth 18m over 7 years). They are allowed to pay out only 75% (12m) over 2014-2028 (14 years, $857,143.00/year) with no cap hit ? That sounds like they are allowed to stretch that over way too many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyLow_ Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Where exactly would Ehrhoff fit on this team. You've got Edler, Hamhuis, Tanev, Bieksa and Sbisa who IMO, are all top 4 dmen. Weber is also said to have gotten a 1 way contract. There's literally no spot for him. Sbisa who rode the pine in the playoffs top 4? I'm not going to say he can't be one, but he's our 7th D until he proves otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our defense is crowded and Ehrhoff doesn't fit with his vision of "meat and potatoes style" type of player. With one siging you fix Edler, fix the powerplay, and can trade Tanev to fill a huge hole on the 2nd line. He is absolutely going to think about it, and think very hard. He'd be an absolute boob if he didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

higgyfan Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Buffalo has to put him on waivers, no? That said, he will end up in Fla, Edm, Cal, or NYI before Nucks get a chance. If he doesn't get picked up through waivers, won't he sign with a 'contending' team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Those who want him back should know that his play has dipped quite a bit since we've seen him. And as a UFA, would he even want to come back? Detroit looks more like a fit to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 What I want to know is the following. It truly looks like Buffalo is intentionally stripping talent from their team in an attempt to be a bad team for the upcoming Mac David draft. Even if this is not the case it looks like they're doing less than their best to put a competitive product on the ice. At what point does the league step in and ask the Sabres wtf they're doing?

CaNuCkSLoUiE23 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Why buy him out? I'm sure some teams like Philly or Detroit are looking for puck moving d-men like him. Buffalo could've at least gotten a 2nd round pick from trading him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I don't think we should sign him. I'd rather use up a roster spot on stanton or give top 4 duty to Tanev.. We gotta quit trying to relive 2011. Forget 2011, I want to watch entertaining hockey again. The Hoff with the Sedins brings that. We won't be a cup contender, but at least we'll see some nice rushes up the ice, and actually have some creativity in the offensive zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're really rebuilding, AHLex may reconsider waiving his NTC to go to a contender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, they'll get another pretty good guy regardless. Phoenix buying out Ribeiro for no reason at all is also a concern. But the Nhl would gladly give them McD.

Dion Phaneuf Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 If we truly want to contend next year we sign Ehrhoff. Edler - Ehrhoff please. I think that he will sign with the Sharks. They have the space too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Ehrhoff left because Gillis drew a line and low-balled him. He was worth more than Bieksa and Hamhuis, and I don't blame him for not wanting to take that kind of money. All Gillis had to do was offer him 5.5 mil on a 3 or 4 year term deal and he probably would have stayed. It was better than signing Garrison to 900k less, only to dump him two years later.
