you get to protect 7 forwards, 3 D and 1 goalie, so 11 in total

Buyout Candidates...Will we see any this year?
MattJVD replied to CanucksJay's topic in Canucks Talk
Yeah Salo was out for the first half of the season and came back in January/February. The day Salo was activated, Edler was placed on LTIR and returned for game 1 of the playoffs (much like Kucherov this year). -

Yeah it's league minimum plus 375K (so 1.125 million right now) that is taken off a player's cap hit when they're sent to the minors. If their cap hit is lower than 1.125 million, it all comes off. -
[Report] Jim Benning to return for next season

Not a bad idea. -
[Report] Jim Benning to return for next season
MattJVD replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
No, he's not worth that. He's a good defensive player who will give you 40 to 50+ points. Good on face offs too. He might get 4 million on the open market but not Miller money. Maybe if the cap was rising like normal he could get 5 from a desperate team. -

Yeah, 2 more seasons of $5.75 million sitting in the press box in James Neal hurts, and 2 more years of retained salary on Lucic, and 2 more years of the Seketa buy out. -

Yikes, that's way too much for Danualt: the guy had 5 goals this year. -

Wish we had a few more dollars to spend on a quality 3C. A guy who is more of a 2nd/3rd line tweener. Someone who can centre the 2nd PP unit and give strong two-way play at 5 on 5. Wennberg, Haula, Danault, etc -
Not sure if it's Tippett to blame for not trusting his 3rd D pair or the GM to blame for not giving Tippett a trustworthy 3rd pair. But you can't play a 120 minute hockey game without relying on the bottom of your line up to at least give your top guys a breather every few minutes. Josh Morrissy was the high-minute guy for the Jetts. He played 20 minutes less than Nurse.

So the deal in the poll is Leafs win the cup in 2021 and Canucks win in 2022? I take that deal 10 times out of 10. In any circumstance that does not involve a guaranteed cup for the Canucks: screw the Leafs. I'm cheering for Montreal right now.

I think part of it is people being conditioned for disappointment: There have been a lot of rough years for Canucks fans. Continually being disappointed makes some people expect disappointment and that is the lense they view the team though. I don't share that view (personally, it is not a fun way for me to enjoy the team), but I understand it.

Could move Petey to RW with Horvat and Hoglander, then have Reinhart center Miller and Pearson or Podz. Anyways, I'd probably rather just keep Boeser.

Canucks end of season player media availability
MattJVD replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Sutter is inelligible for bonuses. Only ELCs and 35+ contracts can have performance bonuses. -
Canucks end of season player media availability
MattJVD replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
If Sutter wants 1 year at 1.5 mil or less, I'd take him back in an instant. We still need PKers and guys who can win faceoffs -
Canuck Buy out calculations, contract questions
MattJVD replied to Darth Canuck's topic in Canucks Talk
Hey, maybe he just cares about recycling -
Brock Boeser was real good. A bit streaky but he scored at a 34 goal, 73 point pace (over 82) and is a decent two way player now. And he was healthy for a full season, which is always nice to see.

I'm not just throwing names against the wall. It was reported that it was Pearson last night. https://twitter.com/DhaliwalSports/status/1394836220253937666?s=20 -

Pearson had a family issue come up and asked if he could go home. The team said yes. That's all there is to this
