The canucks have already paid loui most of his money ,they can buy loui out next year, so again it doesn't make any sense on the canuck side kiss 2 future RFA's good bye? I said it before there is another expansion draft coming up, Turris plays half decent he likely gets plucked. But anyway, just thought I would come up with a different proposal to try rid us of some useless overpaid defensive players for a player with more offense albeit with longer term.

higgyfan Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I don't think Loui will be an issue after this season. For one thing, his NTC becomes modified, so if the Nucks retain (1m) he might be appealing to a team trying to reach cap minimum (6m cap for 3m salary). The other factor is that once he receives his (3m) singing bonus next summer, there is a very good chance he will simply retire and return to Sweden. I really can't imagine that he is enjoying his time in Vancouver and it will likely become worse over time. The bottom line, is that there are +++ more options for dealing with LE's contract after this season. The likelihood of him playing for the the Canucks next season is very low. Trading him for a (questionable) longer term contract would be a mistake at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was saying that Wennberg simply had a bad year. Doesn't sound like they are looking to trade him just yet. 2 bad years with concussion history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are certainly putting him in a position to rebound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyCuddles Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 No. Cap is not an issue and Turris' contract will make it an issue. Benning has set up the contracts a certain way for a reason. Sutter, Baer and Pearson's contracts up in 2 years. Beagle, Eriksson, Roussel up in 3. Contract situation is pretty good. Spooner's buyout gone in 2 years and Lu's recap gone when Boeser is up. Lets not take any longer term bad contracts for short term roster fixes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alflives Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 We won't be able to afford KT's cap hit in two years. Loui is clearly not an NHL, and Turris is. However, Loui will be off our books a lot sooner, so (because of that one fact) he has more value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the cap going up we won't have an issues signing those 2, may be a bridge deal for 1 of them. Buying out LE doesn't save much of any cap space and spreads it out for more years. We all have our opinions, I don' think this type of trade sinks us or makes us worse but that's MY opinion only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players hat paying escrow, which is around 15%. The cap is actually 15% less than the number used. How many years will it take for revenues to increase 15% to catch up to where it is now? That could easily be 3-5 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
