Nope. we'll be about $1-$1.5m (depending on players) under cap once we demote/waive enough guys to get a 23 man roster. Even with Roussel on the roster.

Canuck Surfer Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 2 hours ago, mll said: Canucks need goals though. Green seems to like a lot of players who are reliable but don't produce a whole lot. How many can you really have on a team. Reliable? Or bust their ass. ie Motte. Come over the boards hard, flying, hunting the puck. I don't disagree with the goals sentiment. Nor the concept of Sutter on a line with Beagle, Gaudette on a 3rd scoring line. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We we need that kind of production out of our 4th line. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may have been the case if we paid Boeser like Marner? Once he was bridged it became a non issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Is Loui gonna be on opening roster? You seldom see 6 mill players get waived. Even Lucic didn't get waived and he was even more ineffective than Loui. Gaudette might not start the year with the team but he'll have a full time job by the time we're in the playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Moose Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Would be pretty interesting to see Schaller make the team after we all had written him off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, most 6 million players are a little more.. what's the word.. useful? xD Edited September 26, 2019 by BrockBoester 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to think CBJ is looking for Fs but my feeling is Bergevin will beat us to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to see a GM giving JB much trade value wise when they all know he is in a dilemma to move players off the roster by opening night. What was with the poster saying Graovac makes the roster...Not a chance he beats out Jake, Goldy or Gaud. LE should be waived like another poster said and give him 29 days 9 games to see what he can do. By then, Roussel will be back possibly so just send the Mop to Utica and bury him for 3 years. Time to move on and have younger players who can contribute more than maybe kill a penalty all while not making close to 6m But LE will be on opening day roster, be shocked if JB waives him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What dilemma is that really? He'd like to move a F or two, he doesn't need to. It's more likely that he'll have difficulty making a trade as most teams are in a similar predicament of sorting out who to keep/who to send down and aren't presently looking to add much. That can change drastically a couple weeks + in to the season though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goal:thecup Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Graovac looked good to me as well as Gaudette, Brisebois, and some others. Goldobin and other regulars from last year have not really looked that great. Motte, for example, looks a little slower (and maybe heavier?); he's in tonight, I believe, so we will get an update. But I don't think we are going to lose any player we do not want to lose. If they can be sent down so we don't lose any players, imo, they will be sent down. We need to keep as many near-ready NHL level players at the ready as possible. There will be time later for trades, waivers, injuries, whatever that give the Gaudettes and MacEwens their time in the show. I think tonight's game will provide the info to make the final decisions over the next week. But I don't think we're going to give away Goldobin for example because Gaudette has outplayed him in the preseason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Lucic amassed over 250 hits last season. . That’s huge 4th line pressure. Eriksson had 3 or 4 hits.. Even Tyler Motte had 200 hits. Posters here might rave that LE is a great PK’r.. but there is a better value in keeping Motte, Graovac, Gaudette, or Sutter for 4th line roles and the PK. Eriksson is no game changer, even on the PK.. We will have special team squads that this entire team will be better at, the spotlight on Eriksson has become so small now that I think his exit would not be noticed,. Except that for a better player to rightfully take a position with this club to perform and develop.. and a cap hit that efects is negatively until he retires in Utica.

Comeback_Kings Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Canucks should be gunning to win game one and ice the best roster they can. This is where I'm at right now : ferland pettersson boeser baertschi gaudette miller eriksson horvat sutter/pearson/leivo virtanen beagle motte keep : goldobin (skill), schaller (checking, speed) trade for futures any/all of : sutter, leivo, pearson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gameburn Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 J-23 (hope I have his character name correct) has predicted for days now that Gaudette should make this team and that Big Mac is deserving in his wake. Gaudette and Big Mac deserve to be on this team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebreh Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 (edited) I approve this! Mac is basically a bigger Motte with a little more offence and grit. Edited September 27, 2019 by Trebreh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
