n00bxQb Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 What did they just say? Variance 35% and 50% in the last year? I'm tired, so may have heard that wrong.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 7 years for own 8 years for other UFA's ( contract length) I would have preferred 6/7 but I guess NHL can live with 7/8. A lot better than no limit and 12 or 14 year deals that were being signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck or Die Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 LOL, 7/8. Hey, Bill "The Hill" Daly? What happened to the 5/7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Salary cap next year. $44 mill to $64.3 mill. Canucks will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-DLC- Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Maximum 35% variance year-to-year. The lowest year must be at least 50% of the highest year. Example: Year 1: $10.0M Year 2: $6.5M (35% reduction from previous year) Year 3: $5.0M (50% of highest year) Ah, got it, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Looks like this is our final year to try and win it all then. We're currently sitting at around 67 million in cap hit and can spend up to 70M this season alone. Next season it drops to 64... Basically we get one chance with this full squad (including Edler and Garrison) before we'll have to cut down big time on the big contracts. Edler is very unlikely to re-sign here unless we can lose Luongo and Ballard for cheap prospects in return. We'll also have to try and re-sign some big names like Malhotra, Higgins, Raymond, Lapierre and Tanev who will, on the whole, hopefully even out. The Canucks are probably still the team with the best chance to win a Cup right now, but this looks like it's it - our final season where this window is open. It's really now or never.

WHL rocks Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I like the new draft rules, All 14 teams missing playoffs will have chance at 1st overall. It will be weighted but still better than previous arrangement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHL rocks Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Players are just hoping they get bought out. If I was Keith Ballard or David Booth I'd want to get bought out. Get my current contract paid and sign another one for more money. #Winning, as Charlie Sheen would say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHL rocks Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Why would they get more? With a drop in the cap, they would likely get less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Edler is not going anywhere. He wasn't going anywhere if cap was $60 mill which I always maintained it wouldn't be and that it would end up around $63 mill. With Cap at same level as last year $64 mill, Edler will be signed. Not much needs to change. Malhotra will resign for $1 mill, Raymond will walk replaced by Jensen so saving of $1 mill and go down the line. Ballard will be gone, with the arrival of Garrison Ballard was pbbly gone anyways. Idon't think Ballard would have made it past the trade deadline this year lockout or no lockout. Lu or Schneider will be gone depending on the cap recapture rule, BTW haven't heard anything on this, anyone have update on cap recapture??

n00bxQb Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 The rule was if bought out player gets 2/3 of his salary. Ballard makes $4.2 mill with 2 years remaining on his contract. He will get $2.6 mill per year ($5.2 total) if bought out. Ballard only needs to sign for $1.4 mill to break even. I haven no doubt Ballard could get more than $1.4 mill on open market with salary cap at the same level as last year $64.3 mill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UMB Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 No words express how happy I am now that hockey is back Was up at 3AM procrastinating, go onto NHL.com expecting disappointment, then booooom - AGREEMENT REACHED. Thought it was all a dream, I had given up hope when we got into 2013 HOCKEY's BACK !!!!! Look forward to watching Canuck games and cheering for the Nucks and watching CanucksHD if I miss a game and waving my towel and supporting the players Believe in bluuuuuuuuuue!!!! EDIT: maybe, just maybe i'll unretire from CDC and return. But that's a huge maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 He would be owed $5.6M (2/3 of $8.4M remaining on contract). You're assuming he gets a 2 year contract. Do you think a 7-point dman would get a 2-year contract? Likely not. Also, with most big market teams strapped for cap space (thus the buyouts) and most small market teams looking for bargains, odds are he'll sign for well under his current paycheque. Probably like a 1-year, $1M deal ala Raffi Torres, Manny Malhotra, etc. A "give me a chance and I'll prove I can get my game back" contract.
