If zero points in four games is "maximising use" of Matthew Highmore, then the Canucks may as well just be honest with fans and admit that this team is rebuilding. Four games - three of them against one of the worst teams this league has seen in the last 30 years - and zero offense. He's yet to actually do anything of substance or value. I'd rather have sent Gaudette to Chicago for Future Considerations and promoted Jonah Gadjovich. And not claimed Jimmy Vesey, but promoted Kole Lind. Hell, why is a guy with absolutely nothing to contribute getting any ice time at all when we have Sven Baertschi, shadow-of-his-former-self as he is, being left to rot in Utica? Give Highmore's minutes to Gadjovich, or Lind, or Baertschi, or Loui Eriksson, or ask Travis Green to lace them up again - but for the love of God, stop wasting ice time on people who cannot play at this level. 10 points in 77 career games, there are much better options within the system.

Ah, okay The cap hit penalties only apply while the player is in the minors - so any callup, any trade, any retirement, and the penalty is removed. Our problem is that there are so many players buried in the minors with penalties that we can't easily track them, so we rely on GMs asking us to remove the penalty when the player is called up (as I did with Alex Biega about 14 times in a month to @Master Mind, which he was delighted about).

This has been processed for you.

Sorry, I'm confused, what do you mean? You have $3.2m of space now and (presumably, I can't check) $1m of cap space before it was removed, so shouldn't have been over the cap at any point. If you were, your team wouldn't have earned any points.

Canucks 5-3 Horvat

If you moved him from the minors to your main roster at any point, the cap penalty remains as it's a manual addition by the Exec rather than an automated FT one. So if you waived him again in future, we'd need to manually add it again. It's not hard but keeping track of all the penalties is painstaking
