    Very different circumstances. I'm talking about adding a young guy that will be waiver elligible, and unlikely to make our team, to get a draft pick back instead. Shed the cap hit, a waiver elligible player, and get a pick back. Does that seem remotely like that Arizona deal? 

    It's palatable sure, but waiver eligible players make it through waivers all the time. Rathbone would probably clear especially if waived when there's tons of equivalent players being waived during pre-season. I'm not convinced the cost of 1 more year of Myers it worth the loss of the prospect even for Abbotsford.

     

    I'd do it to dump OEL for sure because the benefit back to us is far greater.

    Nowhere did I suggest taking a big contract back in moving Myers. But if a rebuilding team is willing to take Myers plus a waiver elligible young player for wid draft pick I'll happily take it to shed his 6m cap hit. The one year cap hit doesn't matter much to a rebuilding team and they get a pretty decent veteran only costing them 1m actual money. Adding a waiver elligible young guy unlikely to make our team to make it happen is 100% worth it.

    I was more comparing it to how we added a second round pick as well (not to mention the 9th overall)  to dump those contracts

    I'd happily give up Hoglander or Rathbone to move Myers. I don't really see either being longterm Canucks.

    Myers only has 1 year left. i wouldn't give up additional assets to dump that. Less we repeat the Eriksson, Beagle, Sutter dump

    So curious about the return!

    I'm curious if it's more than their rumored offer for JT from last season

     

    Tarasenko has a spotty injury history, is older, and is a pending UFA whereas Miller at last TDL had an additional whole year at a lower cost than Tarasenko

    I think Rangers fans will love this signing a little less than how much Sammy Blais loves his sister and Sammy Blais LOVES his sister.

    I'm out of the loop on this one
