  1. Vancouver could have used a compliance buyout years ago before they traded Luongo to get out of any potential recapture penalty. They chose not to, then lost control over the contract when they traded him. They’re won’t be any reversal on the penalty now (now matter how you try to justify it)
  2. Exactly. Ericksson’s contract isn’t even on the radar as the worst all time.
  3. If the season continues in any way then free agency will have to be delayed. You can’t have players that will be UFA being signed by other teams while they’re still playing
  4. I’m sorry. What’s the issue here. It’s a redraft article. They’re saying Calgary should have taken Miller instead of Baertschi. How do you get a slight against Vancouver out of this?
  5. In history? Come on man. That’s pretty myopic. It’s not a great contract. But the worst in NHL history? A statement like that tells me you’re young and have no real grasp of NHL history.
  6. No. The conditions of the trade were Vancouver keeps the pick if they miss the playoffs (in which case the pick slides to next year with no protection). If they make the playoffs the surrender this years pick. It was never up to Vancouver
  7. Vancouver will likely have very little say in the matter (beyond whether or not the draft goes through in June). It comes down to whether the Canucks make, or would have made the the playoffs Ultimately that’s what will determine if the Canucks surrender this years 1st or next years unprotected 1st.
  8. Ridiculous argument. Surely you can understand that there are huge mitigating factors at play here that do not apply to a normal season.
  9. From the sounds of things he’s going to end up in New Jersey.
  10. If they decide to play out the remaining games then the Canucks playoff position isn’t guaranteed. That’s where the confusion comes in. So the Canucks may or may not have to relinquish this years 1st. The question of conditional picks will need to be resolved before a draft can proceed
  11. The lottery teams will be be very resistant to this solution. Buffalo has a 21% chance at picking in the top 3. Montreal, 19%. They’re not going to voluntarily give up those odds in a year where an actual franchise player is available at #1
  12. Relax. The sky isn’t falling. The trade wasn’t conditional on performance. So how Miller has played is immaterial. At worst the Canucks May have to give up a late pick to defer to next year.
  13. Nope. There is no decision involved. The condition on the trade is Tampa gets Vancouvers pick this year if the Canucks make the playoffs. If they miss the playoffs this year the pick is deferred to next season with no protection
  14. it’s not just a case of needing an ice surface. You need high end hotels for the teams and staff you need nhl caliber buildings for broadcast you need proper practice facilities
  15. Until the league irons out the salary cap its impossible to talk contracts for next season. Especially when the team was so close to the upper limit this season.
  16. Re-signing him satisfies the condition in the trade. So a Montreal gets St. Louis’s 2021 4th round pick in addition to their 2020 2nd.
  17. It gives you extra flexibility to sign college players, UFA’s, make trades
  18. Likely wouldn’t have been qualified anyway. Either way it opens up a contract spot.
  19. I’m not confusing anything. In the past two instances of compliance buyouts the same formula as standard buyouts applied.
  20. No. The rules of the last compliance buyouts prohibited a team from resigning a bought out player for a year.
  21. Current buyout rules don’t include bonus money in the 2/3 calculation. That’s why so many recent contracts have maximum bonus money. If you’re telling me the NHLPA will willingly waive that point for a compliance buyout I have a Nigerian prince with an investment opportunity that you should speak with. They waive that right this one time and it’s that much more difficult for them to try to keep it in the next CBA. Also. In my brief research online it appears that past compliance buyouts used the same formula as standard buyouts, (with the obvious difference of not counting against the cap). So I don’t know why you would think they’d switch it up this time around
