komodo0921 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 One question I have is; If the cup is, indeed, awarded, What affect would it have, if any, on the salary cap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCNate Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 This is as good of a matchup as we could have hoped for. Out of the 16 teams in the play in round, we play the 12th best (Wild fans will be saying the same thing, as we are the 11th best). It also means that if we lose, we would be looking at a top 10 pick at worst if the non play in teams win the 3 lottery spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think the players agreeing to this would have to have included that the Cap would not go down next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nave Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I like this match up. The Wild have had issues with their penalty kill and faceoffs; we have the 4th best power play %, and 2nd best face off win %. We've never had both Boeser and Toffoli in our match ups against the Wild. Add to that, we are the younger team, and should be able to shake off the rust better. If we play Colorado in the next series, that would be a great series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think teams biggest assets are going to be who brings the most intensity to game 1. I like our chances on that with Miller and Beagle in the room. I think strong skaters will dominate as the weaker ones won't have time to prepare....Quinn Myers might struggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Kneel Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Speaking of quarantine how about asking for hotel staff to be quarantined as well? Food service and prep. Can't help it. Getting excited for the games! Quarantine FIN!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game 70 is way better than game 1. Under normal circumstances I can barely watch game 1 of the regular season it is so sloppy. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddogy Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 If Canucks adopt a nothing to lose and have fun mentality, they could do some damage this year. The 3 most critical concerns/focal points are Markstrom, the D core and Boeser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see Green leaning very heavily on Edler, Hughes, Tanev and Stecher the first couple of games. We might even see a 30 minute night out of Hughes.

kenhodgejr Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Anything can happen in the playoffs. But from a historical perspective I don't want the first cup this team wins in ages to be on a year like this. I would honestly rather we loose the first round and get a top 3 draft pick. Then win the cup next season when guys like Podkolzin and Hoglander might make an appearance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mll Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 21 hours ago, Jimmy McGill said: probably allow it to stay flat, given the bump in tv revenue. Lavoie has TV revenue at about 650M over a full season. The NHL is around a 5 billion league - rough proxy 31 teams x 81.5M is about 2.5 billion. Share of revenue is 50/50. Without completing the season losses were estimated at around 1 billion. Players would have some 500M to pay back from their salaries. LeBrun several weeks ago estimated completing the season worth between 300 and 500M in revenue. It's going to still leave them with a sizeable gap compared to a normal season. The salary cap could well stay flat for next season but it will be even less reflective of revenue than in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
