howswedeitis76 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 What's the definition of waiver eligible again? ie, what's the rule? I'm a little fuzzier on the rules off the ice lol. I don't think he'd sign a two way contract unless that was all that was being offered to him, regardless. He's worth a look at anything below 1.5 mill, I figure, but I'm thinking we may not need to offer that much. We took Baerschi from Calgary under similar negative expectations, and look how that turned out for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Us fans shouldn't care if he's on a 1 way or 2 way deal... it'll only affect aquamans pocket which means nothing to him. Give him 1 way, give him up to 2 million and give him a year... Jimbo just needs to pick up the phone and give it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, I think it's too early to make that call yet, but I can understand why some folk are insisting on the 2 way deal. I think that the only way he accepts such a deal if absolutely noone offers him anything. And someone will take a flyer on him, it's all but guaranteed. I think it'll have to be a 1 way with at least 1 mill +bonuses to sign him. And the Canucks should take the chance on him if he will take anything below 1.5 mill. even if it is one way. Per the CBA bonuses are only allowed on ELCs or Age 35+ contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentSam Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 3 hours ago, stawns said: why 2 way? Keeps the pressure on him to get his game on track in the NHL, or head South East for more ice time and situational play to work on what he may need to. Why end up with a one way situation where he may be benched if not playing to a standard,. When 2 weeks of reflection and steady ice in the AHL could correct that.

I don't think his ahl salary, the only thing determined by 1-way vs 2-way contracts, would have any effect on his deployment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if he scored 20 goals next year. He's young, he's cheap, he has one of the best shots on the team and knows where to go to get open for quality scoring chances. Defense is his only question mark, largely due to his foot speed. But Yak/Weal/Gangner aren't exactly defensive wizards either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
