    So basically Green clued in that Pod-Petey-Garland is a good line... but is too scared of Bo's temper tantrum to pull Pearson off his line.. so the result is two of our best forwards playing with probably the worst C in the entire league... fantastic..

    I think downling is just a placeholder for miller. because the line of holglander - miller - boeser did well when petterson was injured last season.

    Another undersized forward who works hard. Benning will be all over this.

     

    If it’s to replace Highmore or Dowling I’m good with it. 
     

    Would prefer to see us get more size though. Might be better to just keep our waiver position and reclaim Gadjovich.

    I believe you don't lose waiver position if you claim some one. But after November 1st waiver position will be based on your current standings. Unless he can kill penalties I highly doubt he would be replace them more like podkolzin would be the odd man out.

    Wow oilers goaltenders  made us look like an actual threat 

    but then our goaltender is actually why we won. 
    40+ shots against in another demonstration of terrible team d. 
    not sure how JB can justify protecting Pearson over Macewen who’s the only guy on our team that plays big,goes to the net ,stirs the pot,hes fast,hits,fights for himself and his teammates and is only going to get better.

     

    I like Pearson but long term Mac is the guy I’d want. 

     

    ep Miller boeser horvat lind gadovich macewen 

    Oj hughes demko 

    priority for protection 

     

     

    Because he cannot put up points or kill penalties and nobody is going to claim Macewen even if you put him on waiver wire let alone expansion draft.

    I believe Tryamkin’s side when they say that the offer from the Canucks wasn’t high enough to make it financially worthwhile for him to come to Vancouver.

     

    The question remains, what was the offer? And what was the asking price (that would have made it worthwhile for Tryamkin to sign).

     

    The highest paid KHL defencemen last season had salaries of ~$1M USD.

     

    Russian tax is 13%.

     

    So, a take home of ~$870K USD for the very highest paid KHL Dmen.

     

    We don’t know what Tryamkin got on his new KHL deal, but it likely wasn’t over $1M (unless he’s going to be the KHL’s highest paid defenceman next season, which seems unlikely).

     

    If we assume the highest tax rate in Canada at roughly 50%, then an Canucks salary of $1.75M is roughly equivalent to a KHL $1M salary.

     

    Of course, Tryamkin likely wouldn’t pay thH

     

    And the Canucks weren’t willing to pay him that.

     

    So, the rumoured Canucks offer of just over $1M is probably accurate.

     

    You could say that the Canucks lowballed him.

     

    Or, they felt it was fair value (I can actually get behind that argument, to a degree, as Tryamkin doesn’t really deserve an offer based on any NHL comparables, given how long he’s been away, so a low ticket, one year deal is somewhat defensible).

     

    However, given Tryamkin’s situation, you’d think that if the Canucks really wanted to get him signed, they’d be able to step up a few 100k and offer him something that actually paid him better (as far as take home) than his KHL salary.

     

    (I suppose you could also say that, if Tryamkin really wanted to be an NHLer, he’d just take the financial hit for one season, and then bet on himself being about to earn more the next year, and the rest of his career.)

     

    What I don’t see here is any reason to think Tryamkin was being greedy and asking for more than what made sense for him, based on what he could get in Russia. Or that he was just using the Canucks for negotiation purposes, and never intended to sign here. Everything he and his agent have done the past year has suggested they wanted to be back in the NHL (with Vancouver) for the 2021-22 season.
     

    Seems like the Canucks just had a “walk away” number, and so did Tryamkin, and that number was probably somewhere in the $1.5-2M range (as reports have suggested). Canucks wouldn’t come up to that number, and Tryamkin wouldn’t accept anything less (as that would require him taking a financial loss, compared to what he probably gets by staying in the KHL).

    1) I believe dahliwal already said Tryamkin salary is 1 mill tax free.

    2) Theres also the 50% salary escrow which next year and this year there will be no kickback.

     

    Canadian taxes is 42% which is 420,000 so that is 1.4 mill canadain. Since there is a 50% escrow it would mean for tryamkin to make the exact same amount in the nhl as khl is 2.8 mil caphit for 2 years.

    I would claim vatenen adds another pmd who can play both sides and takes pressure off edler.

     

    But one thing to keep in mind caunucks are at 48/50 contracts and I assume one of the is for podz it would essentially mean that is the only claim we will make until and we need to make sure we have enough bodies ready by Friday. Unless there is a trade for a player and picks.

    Somethings gotta give.  $83M with 6 D and 15 forwards.  Assuming Baer and someone else at $1M or more goes down, we still need two D for the usual 23 man roster.

    Looks Like Benning pretty much knows that Ferland is not coming back, knows they will have a B squad so can carry a 21 or 22 man roster, or is not done.

    I do not like the buyout of Sutter option as it effects our cap next year which could be even trickier than this year.

    Seems like a fair deal for Jake.  JB has signed some bad contracts over his time here but usually his RFA deals have been very good since Sutter.  

    you can carry between a 20-23 man roster usually its a 21 man roster with 13F and 8D or 14F and 7D. On a 23 man roster you would have 5 healthy scratches per game I have never heard of this ever happening.
