Though I have read rumors that if the NHL does come back, the league won't be enforcing cap limits given the freak season. Can't really penalize a team that picked up a player at the TDL because they had a guy out the rest of the season on LTIR, who's now healthy. No cap in the playoffs either.

With Boeser back off LTIR, I'm not sure if that roster fits under the cap. I think Boeser was back for few games before Covid 19? Must be okay..

Forgot about that, but I still think with a fully healthy roster we're over the cap. Either way, some other posters have said the cap doesn't matter for the playoffs, so we'll hope we can run our full team anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly feel we could go on a long run with the strong forward group, strong Marky and if defence can hold there own? It will be a long run..Go Canucks Go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He came back and got 1 game in, just before they shut 'er down. It seems to me that it may have been the same situation with Motte as well. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m curious about Leivo.. could be another bright addition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t really seem like an insurance company will be ok with paying out +/- 10 to 12 million (give or take) for an injury that can’t be even pinpointed to an exact day. Ferland obviously just wants to play , but I have a feeling it will go to the lawyers and could turn ugly. Insurance companies won't just insure anyone and if they insure a high risk person the premiums are extremely high. If that person paid the premiums there is nothing the insurance company can do. I don't even think we know if the contract is insured and with his history I doubt it was even insurable. Not just that but insurance companies have doctors or use credible doctors and they will not accuse a doctor of lying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacEwen is far bigger and definitely hits harder, but Motte actually hits more often. We're probably splitting hairs on the two guys, but my gut is that Motte would be a bit more valuable in playoff hockey. MacEwen would be fine too though.

I agree with you but have to give the edge to MacEwen 6'3, 210, skating is great, decent hands, will drop gloves to protect teammates and any time you have a guy with size and speed coming into the offence it makes defence think fast..Big Zack will add a great element to Canucks lineup in physical games .. I see Zack eventually being on 3rd line in next few years future GP 75 - G 15-19 -PTS 35-44 playing even more physical, very exciting future..

We still have no idea what kind of player Ferland is as a Canuck. That's the incredible part. I'm more than a little concerned about his longterm health, but if he plays anywhere close to a top 9 NHLer and brings his token physicality to this lineup, it could be a massive boost. However, I rewatched the fight that supposedly lead to the concussion, and I just don't see any point where he got tagged... or really anything that looked like it could have lead to injury. That's the part that concerns me most. Sure, he's had plenty of time to heal and he probably feels okay right now. But it's hard to be impactful when everybody on the ice knows you're one check away from being sidelined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further down in the article gives a bit more hope, referencing Bergeron's 4 concussions, and the success he's had after that. Cautious optimism, best describes it for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
