[Report] Canucks name Jim Rutherford as president & interim GM
Bure_of_94 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
He’s not wrong. The fickle media in Vancouver however is very good at manipulating the emotion and thinking of the local fanbase. -
We’re actually in a horrible cap space situation. Our top 6F+top 3D + starting Goalie costs sooo much that it leaves us with an average of 1.04m/player to fill out bottom6F, bottom3F and a backup. when nhl minimum wage is 750,000... that’s devastating in terms of depth. We’re paying waaay too much for our D and top6. You can’t have 3 D making 6+.. you can have 2 and 3rd one making 4ish. And looking at other teams, you only want 4 players making above 5 at the most. You gotta then find players under 4 to round out your top 6. Analyzing what Benning has done, we need 4 Chiassons and 3 Hunts in order to retain everyone we have Rutherford will have to correct this by dumping at least 1 core player. And 1 other that is making 5-6(Myers seems like the obvious choice). If we don’t, expect to lose 2 of Miller/Horvat/Hoglander in 18 months. And potentially Podkolzin the next year if he develops into a player that is good enough to get paid big.

Hoglander is also due when JT and Bo are due. Benning Left Rutherford in an awful situation cap wise. I think ultimately you have to trade Brock and you have to trade Myers. Both for guys that make 4million or less/year + prospects and/or picks. If we don’t, we’re going to be losing 2 of Bo/Miller/Hoglander. I have no doubts that Rutherford will sort it out. I’ve looked all over the league and I’m not sure what or who I’d trade for. I just hope that the team keeps trending up and that players who struggled turn it around and recoup their previous value before the trades start happening.
