We can waive him and send him down no problem then we magically get 6m cap space back? If so, then Benning's bargaining power just went up in my eyes.

That puts him in breach of contract, and we can unilaterally terminate. Loui would retire first though, and save the embarrassment. Either we terminate or Loui retires. The result is the same - no more Loui and his cap disappears. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need the cap asap if Benning is going to build the them up this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erkayloomeh Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I don't think he can be moved without a sweetener that we won't like. I think it's common knowledge that he's become lazy. I hope what Alf says is true that he can be waived to Utica . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canucks are stuck with him until he either eventually gets bought out or the contract runs out. Any team looking to get to the floor can find better players for $6 million. Or JB's willing to part with a signicant piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if this would be considered as trolling but one player, I truly believe is expendable is Brock Boeser. As much as I like him, I'm having trouble envisioning him as a key to us winning a Stanley Cup. Yes, he has good regular season numbers but playoff hockey is unforgiving toward passive players which Boeser is. One team that could, truly use Boeser and one that we could get a return from would be Ottowa. Something like Eriksson (1mil. retained) and Boeser's negotiating rights to Ottowa for their 2020 1st could work out for both teams. They get a young player over whom they have long-term control and would go a long way to regaining fan interest for their franchise. Ottowa taking Eriksson is the only reason I'm offering Boeser at such a cheap price and is the only reason I look at Ottowa as a trade partner. They love hovering around the cap floor. They get two players that allow this to happen while adding a significant piece to their line up. We get a first rounder which replaces the one we lost in the JT Miller deal and is one I'm looking to be a high lottery pick with which we can use to take a prospect or deal to bring in pieces that move us toward a more playoff oriented team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that's not technically trolling since you're serious, but you better get ready for the poo that people will fling your way as soon as/if they notice that you're willing to lose Boeser.

fecklund Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 You can imagine the hosing GM's are thinking of pulling off after Benning gave up a 1st+ to a cap strapped team for a player Tampa needed rid of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
