    And now watch us trade him (Miller) tomorrow. :frantic:

    I’d love that even though management has other plans for whatever reason, the two rumoured guys clashing with one another in the room was Horvat and Miller. You ship them both out for futures and create a better culture.
     

    This draft alone should land us at least a solid second line Center or first line 1a 1b with Pettersson. We are very lucky that this is the draft we are tanking in. If we manage to get into the top 3 we are getting another franchise Center, exactly what JR and Allvin won with in Pittsburg along with a very skilled offensive dman in Crosby, Malkin, Letang. 
     

    We are only one piece away from that build and the draft lottery this year is HUGE for this franchise.

    I really want another 1st so we can try to get  Pellinka and Reinbacher on top of the forward we take with our pick. 

     

     

    I agree and depending how far Reinbacher climbs up the rankings we still might be leaving with both. That would be the 2 best Den in the draft and both RHD. 
     

    Incredible if you ask me, 3 years from now their value would be tremendous due to position and Blue Chip.

  3. Management has proven they don’t care what anyone but they or the team thinks. Miller is signed for the next 7 years and will 100% be the next Captain regardless if we like that or not. Tocchet was brought in after management knew they would be moving Horvat for sure so he can “harness” him, it’s to help change his image and give him the C. 
     

    You knew one day in the bubble watching him call out the starting lineup that he was going to be leading this team at some point, he keeps players accountable and would drop them if needed to send a message to the team. This is exactly what the Rangers did with Trouba as he wasn’t known for the best attitude either, see Winnipeg for details.

  4. Anyone advocating for Foote, if we offered Tampa the Second we end up trading Schenn for they would take that and run. There is a reason for that as draft capital is worth its weight in gold and especially in the top 2 rounds. This draft in particular is supposed to have tons of Dmen go in the 2nd and it could also be used to trade down if we see a player sitting there with our pick or the Isles pick. With us having 2 first round picks potentially having 2 seconds could be humongous towards securing a Mitchkov/Smith and Reinbacher.

    I don’t agree at all.

     

    Sometimes players get buried especially on deep teams like Tampa. 
     

    That’s like saying Miller could never be a top 6 player cause he couldn’t crack the top 6 in Tampa.

    No, he’s being exposed because he can’t pivot or skate well enough to keep up, Luke Schenn looks like Hughes compared to him. He’s got Juolevi syndrome and there is no cure for that unfortunately.

  6. At this point Adam has already taught Cal Foote everything he knows so coaching him will do nothing as he’s coached him his whole life. If Foote isn’t a regular by now I don’t think he ever will be as his skating doesn’t allow him to adapt very much. He’s the type that would get burned like Stillman and be a scapegoat here, he’s another true #7 Dman like Burroughs.

    1.875M cap hit and 75K in salary.   Cap space is also pro-rated so it's easier to just talk in full cap hits.  There's also no pro-rata in LTIR as there's no banked cap space so the full cap hit has to fit into the LTIR cap space available.

     

    The trade happened with 30% of the season left to play.  If a team was all season at 82.5M at the time of the trade - they've already used up 70% of 82.5M and only have 30% of 82.5M left.  They can't be pro-rating his cap hit and not pro-rating their cap space.   The Canucks are in LTIR so it's akin to them already having used up 70% of their available cap space for the season. 

     

    CapFriendly prefers to talk in full cap hits.  So they already factor in the pro-rata when they show deadline cap space.  It's the amounts of full cap hits that can be added for the team to remain cap compliant at the end of the season.  

     

    Yeah maybe I’m wrong. I understand deals get done at full Cap hit but I was going by a tweet that broke it down. In Minnesota’s case they only retained 25%

    How do we have capspace for 22.8 worth of contracts? 

    I think we have 7.6 worth of contracts or 2.28 pro rated no? So like 1 Lucic? 

     

    Just taking a quick peak, are we maybe getting ahead of ourselves here? 

     

    Anaheim has like 60m, Buf and AZ have 80m even boston has 3.25. That was the first 4 teams alphabetically...  

    There are so many teams that can take cap dumps no? I don't feel like we are anything special here... In fact there's a lot more teams in much better positions to do this? 

     

     

    No our Cap space is not Pro rated that is what we have. We have $7.6 million. The only thing Pro rated is the contracts you trade for. If we get Lucic at $2.33 that leaves us with $5.27 million in Cap space left.

    No, the thread isn’t ‘based’ off of ‘ifs’. It’s based off of nonsense. 

     

    Literally, read the thread title yourself, it’s

    Pearson Put On LTIR, Is There A Trade In The Works?

     

     

    Please!  Oh please, dumb it down for me please! 


    Haven’t had nom nom in a long time. Please be that for me. 
     

    Craving it. 


     

     

    Enjoy your night Brother. Not worth both of our breath here. 

  10. Just now, CanucksJay said:

    Yep I get the math. 

    Just wondering if a 4th for a 2m (pro rated) cap is worth the value... 

    Like what is the value of the 7.6  we are sitting on

    It depends on the deal to be honest. If you take on Lucic that’s 7 million in cap ($2.33 pro rated) and you should get a 2nd I’d think at least. If you are a middle man and only help retaining half of $5 million I’d think a 2rd maybe again? I guess it all depends on how desperate the other team is to add the player, no contenders can do it by themselves without a team like us. 
     

    As of today with the $7.6 we have it’s basically the same as $22.8 million worth of contracts at the beginning of the season. We could take Marner and Matthews without retention from the leafs with the $7.6 we have. 
     

    That is an insane amount to have considering we are a Cap team. To me the value with pick return is supply and demand,

    I don’t understand how you got better stuff on a Friday night than I did. 
     

    You threw a big ‘if’ around and then went down the rabbit hole with other teams. 
     

    How are the Nucks going to do all that? 
     

    This isn’t the Proposal Thread bud. 

    Isn’t this thread based off “ifs”…. Literally read the title it’s about maybes and what ifs! Next time I’ll dumb it down a bit.

    Ok so basically 30% of a player's cap. 

    If we have 7.6 in cap currently, are we saying that's worth like 4 x 4th rounders? 

     

    Is that good? 

    Would the thought be that if we are taking not 1.875 but more like 4m, that would go from a 4th to a 2nd?

    Maybe taking a 7.6 is worth a first? 

     

    Like what's the actual max value of 7.6m? 

    I would rather have 1 first rounder rather than 4 x 4th rounders

     

    So if a team has 27 games left that is roughly 1/3 of the season left of an 82 game schedule. So if a player that makes 6 million like Tyler Myers for example has already played 2/3 of the season his contract now is only worth $2 million pro rated. By the trade deadline 1/4 of the season will only be left, that means 3/4 of his salery has been paid and Myers Cap to take on at the deadline is $1.5 million.

    How high are you? 

    What? We have $7.6 million in Cap and if a team trades for either Kane or Toews at 50% retained we can also be a part of the trade and retain 50% for the other team. It’s what Minnesota just did to weaponize Cap space. 
     

    $10 million dollar Toews at 50% retained going to Winnipeg for example puts his Cap at $5 million, if we also retain 50% for Winnipeg ($2.5) it put Toews Cap hit at $2.5 and then you pro rate it. 
     

    Lucic you just trade for straight up for Picks, what do you not understand here Shooter?

    Leafs acquire O'Reilly, Acciari in three-team trade with Blues and Wild

     

    Did Allvin put Pearson on LTIR to open up cap space for the Canucks to be the third team in the Leafs-Blues blockbuster?  Did something go awry at the last minute and allow Minnesota to swoop in a become that third team?? Take a careful look at the picture that TSN mistakenly released announcing the the trade and tell me what you think!!

    We Only have 2 retention spots and a 4th in 2025 was not worth one of them. See my post above for even better targets and bigger returns.
