I would love to compare clubs by how much they allocate to their forwards... vs how much of their cap they spend on all their D. Not sure if that is on cap friendly..

kingofsurrey Posted September 13, 2017 Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 Interesting to see Canucks spend 20 mi on our D men. Flames spend 25 mil on their D men. I wonder if Canucks would see greater improvement if more of our cap was allocated towards D men..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are asking if the Canucks could upgrade their D then I think the answer would be yes. Nashville actually has 8 d-men signed for 24mil and the Canucks with 7 at 20mil is quite comparable on average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably wouldn't have added him otherwise. They traded for Subban but he's at 9M vs 10.25M for Josi, Ekholm and Ellis. D5, D6 and D7 are well under 1M each. That being said Ellis is UFA in two seasons and he's going to command a substantial increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russo suggested that 2M was what the Wild would like as cap space to enter the season feeling comfortable. They've never managed and have been really close to the cap. It's a nuisance to deal with because injured players still count against the cap. Each season they got so tight that they could only recall players a few hours before the games and had to send them back down straight after. Last year there were times where Boudreau did not have a full lineup at practice because they did not have the cap space to keep the players up.

Gudbranson and Tanev need to stay healthy and if they do we perform much better than last year. Hutton and Stecher can and need to take a step forward. Del Zotto can help shore up our PP if Hutton can't fill that role. Wiercioch, Holm, Biega, Pedan, and possibly McEneny and Subban are all pretty sound extras. Juolevi is in the pipeline. I don't think we need to throw money at defencemen at this stage. Edler will be on the way out when Juolevi needs to start getting a bunch of minutes. Hutton is still in his early to mid 20s as is Stecher and Gudbranson. D-core for most teams is built from within since d-men are so expensive to acquire via trade or free agency. I see a playoff d-core from the guys mentioned. If we can get more offence from Hutton and Stecher and we are good imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is there aren't that many of them. You get into real trouble overpaying for UFA top 4 guys who don't give you that #1. There really aren't many shortcuts to finding your own guy.

Would our club do do better with more contract cap space used on D ? UFA for D ? Offensive D tend to have a premium in the viewpoint of NHL GMs - and it's tough to deny Subban's offensive skills. Haven't they seemed to be always a D factory with respect to their drafting though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
