    How so?  The media knew all our signings a long time ago.  They have the inside scoop on this team

    and also sources in other organizations.

     

    Allvin lies pretty regularly, so not sure why the smarminess against Seravalli.  For being good at his job?

    Agreed, although I like that PA is willing to “mislead” and doesn’t feel compelled to be fully transparent. There needs to be a level of discretion when discussing possible moves with other teams.

    Plus, at 24 he's still got time to learn. D men can often take a bit longer to develop and really find their game. 

     

    Other teams may have had cap/other reasons to pass on him as well. Doesn't mean we have to follow their lead.

    Agreed. Also, other teams likely have better young Dmen in their system.  The Canucks defence has been brutally thin for several years. This could be a good pick up, for the right price.

    Dude, its obvious he isnt a player you want on your team if you want to be a contending team.  He doesn't have the tools.  Get over it. 

    Unless the Canucks can get value in a trade, I think we should wait, at least until the off season where more teams will have some cap flexibility.

     

    Trading him while his stock is low doesn’t make sense to me. 
     

    My preference would be to give him the off season to try and fully recover, and strengthen up his game.   
     

    So, the Canucks will likely trade him for a B prospect, and retain 50%…

    hopefully Allvin and management understands that. 

     

    I’m sure they do. The real question may be - Does Aquaman want to pay the $5 million bonus?

     

    Historically, ownership has shown that they are willing to pay, and overpay, in order to try and reach, or go over, the cap ceiling.  
     

    Given that the Canucks continue to flounder, Covid financial losses, no playoff revenue, that sellouts are a thing of the past, his divorce and abuse allegations, etc.,  perhaps he would rather just ditch the contract instead of paying that bonus in the hopes of getting an extra 3rd round draft pick (or whatever the extra return may be).

     

    In the end, it may be the only option to trade Myers, but if a trade comes along that allows the Canucks to deal him prior to the bonus payout, I wouldn’t be surprised if they pulled the trigger.

    Gillis retained $800k for 5 years. Wasn’t that big of a deal. What killed us was the fact that Luongo retired before his deal was concluded and so we ended up with a recapture penalty of just over $3 million for 3 years afterwards that just ended this summer. 

    Yeah. I know about the recapture. I’d forgotten about the retained salary, which as you said, wasn’t a big deal.
