Remember the latter part of the Samuelson contract? Thats what i see. PP2, PK1, limited 5 on 5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going to have to come in to camp and have a good camp. He's still a good player, he hasn't scored, but he's a good penalty killer. We have to find a fit for him."

He's still one of the best pk'ers on the team and he can fill in on every line if injuries hit. They barely save any $ by sending down and he's a versatile guy........I just don't see them sending him to Utica. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utica would be a fantastic fit for this useless piece of garbage. blah blah blah......change the record already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't really see Loui beyond a 4th line role with Goldy signed today, if Baertschi is healthy and then we got guys like Motte and Leivo. Even 4th line is questionable. If he shows up and out performs others than in all for it. I just don't see it. If he does play this year I hope this thread can shut down and we can support our team and all of its players. Ferland Petterson Boeser Baerschi Horvat Pearson Goldobolin Miller Virtanan Motte Beagle Sutter Leivo Way I see it Baer or Pearson gotta get shipped before Rousell is back. Goldy could be sent down or traded if he doesn't pan out but still not sure where Loui fits once Rousell returns. Without Goldy Ferland. Petterson.

Leivo, Motte, Baertchi are not shoe-ins by any stretch of the imagination and yes things get even more interesting once Roussel returns. This is not even taking into consideration the prospects playing themselves onto the team too. There are a lot of ? marks at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HockeyHarry Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Wonder what ever happened to. I know now it was just a rumor or theory of Canucks Ducks swapping Loui for Ryan K contracts. Ducks need an active player on roster and Canucks need Cap room. Ryan will never play again and his contract doesn’t count against the cap. Its sounded like an ideal trade situation in theory. all and all I guess it was just a rumored trade prediction, with no weight too it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provost Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) As much as I don’t think Aqualini will be happy with a $ 6 million contract in the minors, I can also see them not wanting to waive Goldobin or Motte right out of the gate because there is a chance one of them gets picked up. Better to send Eriksson down, and see if he has the fortitude to actually report and stay there. That gives a month or two for Baertschi and Goldobin to show some stuff and possibly garner a return when Roussel is ready to come back and other teams may need some players to cover injuries or they have sent some kids back to the minors after their 9 game looks and have a roster spot open.

Excellent point. As soon as Loui pulls the pin on Utica the Canucks can pull the pin on Loui’s contact. That’s 6 Schmil off the cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine training camp will dictate what moves will be made and the good thing is that the team has options and that a good player might get picked up on waivers. This means we finally have depth in the line up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anaheim is not looking for a veteran - they have plenty already. They also bought out Perry to create a roster spot. They are rebuilding and want to play their prospects. Eakins was coaching their AHL team and they expect that he brings up several of their prospects with him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ericksson will clear waivers before any of our other bubble players, Motte, Lievo or Goldy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
