  1. Or just go above up to his cap hit. There are 2 approaches with LTIR - go under first or go above. The CBA has examples of both approaches.
  2. Typo. The Lightning get the Canucks' 1st in 2021 instead of 2020 if the Canucks miss the playoffs next season. .
  3. Sakic sees them still in rebuild mode with several young players needing to take steps forward before they become legit contenders.
  4. On the right side PK plays over 25 minutes a night and Ellis is close to 25min (same on the left with Josi and Ekholm). That does not leave a lot of minutes for their 3rd pairing. Moving Subban opens up minutes for Fabbro. He will likely be paired with either Josi or Ekholm. Fabbro's showing at the Worlds, where he started as D7 and kept on increasing his role as the tournament went on, probably comforted them that he could take on a bigger role next season. As for NJD Taylor Hall at the end of the season was talking about how they have the culture that is conducive to winning - the work ethic, the speed, the team culture but are missing talent. Shero concurred and said his priority this summer will be to add talent. They do that with Subban.
  5. Gaudette has always played C. Benning says he doesn't want to move him to wing explaining that he has never played wing.
  6. NHL Network says it was a given that he was going to be traded. They commented that he is not good enough for Tampa where he played at times on the 4th line but good for Vancouver as he will move up the totem pole. They referenced Benning's comment that the Canucks don't have enough players who drive to the net - he does that. He had 13 goals and 47pts last season.
  7. Any team can buy him out. Per Friedman he expects to be bought out by Carolina and then hopes to sign with San Jose - SJS doesn't have much cap space. Vancouver would have been much closer to San Jose. His family moved back to California and he asked to be traded back West.
  8. Ferland is a free agent. Barrie still has a year on his deal. Carolina talked to Faulk about an extension. He is available because he priced himself outside of what they are willing to pay. It's even less likely that they can afford Barrie.
  9. Same agent as Juolevi - Markus Lehto from ACME. They operate out of Chicago. He's a Finn and has quite a few Finnish clients - Rask, Teravainen, Filppula.
  10. They pick BPA. He's a natural C per Burke.
  11. Don't think teams would want to risk losing draft picks.
  12. He's assistant coach for their farm team in Laval.
