Can't really argue here, but...........it is not the way I remember LE's contract being discussed some time back ( ie...the 'bonus' portion making the deal hard to move ) ! I wonder for instance if TML wanted to retain on Auston Matthews in the final year of his contract. If TML moved him after paying his signing bonus, the amount would be way higher than his actual salary ( 750k salary/ 7.2mil bonus.....AAV +11.6mil ). Perhaps @SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME or @mll can put some clarity on this !

He's no JJ Daigneault tho' !

Sorry to quote myself, but it's not often a poster agrees with me. Still think that this is the way to go. Many would find this too anal, but it works on all levels !

Even CapFriendly is misspelling his name ! Quintin it is !

Probably wise to have QH start his NHL career on the road. Lessen the over hyped expectations a bit ! Miss the first two games to practise team systems, Dallas/ Chicago on the road, then Ottawa as first home game. He will have to sit out at least 3 games to help out with the Seattle ED, so might as well ease him in !

2018-19 Utica Comets Thread
SingleThorn replied to stonecoldstevebernier's topic in Prospects / Farm Team
Question about Will Lockwood. Can he play in AHL post season ? I seem to recall that there is a difference between an ATO and PTO for post season eligibility. Signing an NHL contract has other Canuck issues attached to it ( ELC wise ), but where does an NHL contract differ ( AHL post season wise ) from ATO/ PTO ? -
DiPietro on various SN channels. Ottawa 67s vs Oshawa Generals. ( 1:50 pm ) 2nd Period, 67s 1-0.

If you have ever tried haggis, you'd absolutely understand this saying ! It attaches itself to every nook and cranny. Brushing doesn't help ! Scrubbing doesn't help ! Took me three days to get rid of that 'bad taste'. (....I'm told I'm about 10% Scottish, which is why I was stupid enough to think I had to try it. )

Isn't the film industry great ?

No expert here, but I believe they have until 15th Aug after their senior year before becoming UFA. Rathbone and Madden for instance both must be signed by 15/Aug '22. Starting college the same year, seems to be the contractual trigger. Below is the CapFriendly 'sign by date'. https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/canucks/reserve-list

His contract is mainly signing bonuses. Actual salary is $1mil for two years. Retained salary maximum is 50% of salary, so $500k. As with most things, I'm fairly sure this is how it works, but not 100% sure
-
There is next to no benefit retaining salary with LE's contract. $500,000 if my math is correct. It would be a 3rd and final salary retention. How would CDC armchair GMs finalise all their fantastic trades without being able to retain salary ? ( yes, I know, we lose MDZ next year ). Poor LE, now that Gudbranson is gone and Sutter is injured, he's kind of alone at the whipping post. All the haters and tough guys are going to tear the poor guy to shreds !
-
Loved Beagle, but felt his very good SC showing had turned him into an expensive signing. The four year term was part of that high price tag. Schaller's relative obscurity plus a two year deal seemed easier to swallow. As I said earlier, I knew nothing about Schaller and went on his stats plus complimentary revues out of Boston.
-
Sorry to quote myself, but, at the start of this season, I was enthusiastic about this unnoticed player with the impressive stats. There has to be some unreported reason for this disaster of a season ! At the time, I believed he was the 'safest' of the 3 UFA signings. Will he be better at our next training camp ? Hope springs eternal, but Schaller's poor performance defies logic. What the heck happened ?

2018-19 Utica Comets Thread
SingleThorn replied to stonecoldstevebernier's topic in Prospects / Farm Team
Now that we're semi-officially missing the post season ( all the teams above us would have to be .500 and we'd have to win +/- 12/13 of our final 17 ! ), I wonder what JB will do with his final two call up allowance ( Sautner/ Brisebois already used up two spots ). He must have something in mind, or the non papering of Gaudette just makes no sense at all. Perhaps a better look at MacEwen ? Maybe a stint at @ 4C for Gaunce ? Don't see Chatfield getting a look. Jasek might be a very long shot for a 'look see'. Lind, Gadjovich are ways too far away. Kero ? We shall see I guess. Expect the unexpected ! -
Indeed. I think they view Gaunce as our forward version of Biega. The #13 forward and #7 d-man are an important part of a good team.
-
Agreed, but you kind of have to ignore the fact that he was in our system ( AHL contract ? ) in 2011/12. We were unaware of what we had. He moved on to 5 1/2 solid seasons in Dallas.

2018-19 Utica Comets Thread
SingleThorn replied to stonecoldstevebernier's topic in Prospects / Farm Team
The only positive answer I can come up with, is that JB wants to have a look at a prospect or two ( without having to have a Canuck injured ). Jasek maybe. McEneny/ Chatfield perhaps. MacEwen/ Gaunce maybe, or even Kero or Pyatt to evaluate next season's signings. At about the 70 game mark, if we are out of playoff contention, we might see some 'show me' call ups. -
That is how they originally had him listed. Don't know why they changed it to 'indefinite'.
-
Indeed ! Madden ( stat wise ) seems to have slowed down at Northeastern. If the NCAA season is wearing him down, the AHL/ NHL season might be too much, too soon. No idea how real his 150lb weight stat is, but he does need to add 10/ 20 lbs ! Would be nice to see Lockwood at the pro level !
-
Artem Manuykan ( remember him ? ) with a goal ( 25th Feb ) and 3 hits, most on his team, with 6:42 TOI. Still throwing that tiny body around ! I wonder if he has bulked up much ! Playing in KHL post season.

Gudbranson NOW officially The WORST PLAYER in the League
SingleThorn replied to RU SERIOUS's topic in Canucks Talk
Haha.....sadly, yes. I came from a non hockey part of the world, but loved hockey from moment one. My first year watching was the last year of the original uniforms. Jere Gillis was our future 50 goal scorer. I was lucky enough to get to watch a fair number of games for free. Loved Claire Alexander who had a superb shot from the point, but heaven help us, he was terrible without the puck !
