  1. xxxx - Pettersson - Boeser Garland - Horvat - Höglander Pearson - Miller - Podkolzin Motte - Dickinson - MacEwen I’m not sure I like not having a single right handed center, or if we plan on having Miller as the fulltime 3C, but just saying moving Schmidt/Holtby would give us enough room to give a certain Swedish free agent LW what he wants .
  2. We’d have to move out Schmidt, Holtby and Virtanen first, but could y’all imagine a OEL-Hamilton pair if a change of scenery is all OEL needed?

      Schmidt we can move out if the reports on interest around him are to be believed. Jake and Holtby can be bought out.

       

      So yeah, this is entirely do-able, particularly if Carolina wants Nate, then its a swap for a Dougie sign and trade.

      How much would we save with a Holtby buyout?  
       

      if I’m doing my math right, we would get about 2.4 million in cap savings? (So, a buyout would entail a 1.9 million cap hit).

       

      Not bad I guess.  Holtby and Virtanen buyouts would give us a combined 4.9 million in cap.  Maybe that 4.9 million could be used on a guy like David Savard or *insert defensive defenseman*

      3.8 mil for this season, with 500k cap hit left over 

       

      1.9 mill cap hit next year

       

      For Jake, its a 50,000 cap hit this season with 2.5 mil savings, 500k next season

       

      So:

       

      2021/22: 5.7 mil savings

      2022/23: 2.4 mil cap hit

       

      The second year cap hit sucks, but if we want to make a big move for next season its there to make. 

  3. I’m convinced Yzerman bullied Carolina into making this trade. Like what are they doing.
  4. Rabble rabble Benning sux rabble rabble. Probably his thought process.
  5. 1) who is this great top 4 defensive d he let go and 2) you clearly have no idea who Dickinson is and what he brings defensively.
  6. And I don’t think people are realizing (willingly or not) how much of an improvement Brad Shaw will make on his own.
  7. And why are we believing something one of the bigger name bitter bros on twitter says?
  8. Protecting career fourth liner Matt Martin over two legit top six forwards is such an Islanders thing to do .
  9. He‘d be so perfect on Bo’s LW. Like I said not sure I’d give him his asking price but if he shows enough interest in coming to the Canucks then you gotta make the necessary moves to fit him in.
  10. I don’t know if I would pay him $9m annually but to say he isn’t an offense driver is just wrong. He’s good offensively and even better defensively.
  11. I’d like ZAR on the third line with Podkolzin also. Then maybe find a Russian friend for him to center them?
  12. Imagine the outrage here if we had to expose Miller after giving up what we did for him? I really thought Zucker was gonna be there for awhile.
  13. We could be in on one or both of Ovechkin or Landeskog and they’d still be mad.
  14. Some people want to take any chance they can to bash Benning regardless, without taking a minute to think. I would’ve liked to see us get Graves don’t get me wrong, but I understand the factors into why Colorado wouldn’t trade him to us.
