brian42 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Obviously the Canucks can go into a lot of different directions but imo they must get rid of Luongo, Ballard and Booth! this way they free up a lot of cap space. If you can trade Booth and or Ballard then great but realistly i think you have to buy them out. buyout Ballard, Booth I think it would be in the Canucks best interest to trade Edler because of the youth he could bring back and the Canucks could always sign another ufa defensemen. Edler to PHI for Couturier and their 2'rd rd pick Luongo to NYI for Niederreiter let Raymond, Roy, Lapierre, Malhotra & barker walk sign UFA's Streit -6.0 Ryder-4.0 Hendricks-1.3 The Canuck obviously won't look like this but I think this would be a very impressive offseason. I will consider it a succesful off season if the Canucks trade Lu, buyout ballard and booth because then they will be making a=changes and free up a lot of cap space. I also really think it would be a good idea to trade elder because the assets and youth he could bring in. He makes a lot of mistakes and could be replaced with the cap space he frees up by a ufa. so you get a replacement plus assets in a trade. with Ballard. Booth, Lu and Edler gone thats 18.78 million in cap space! FORWARDS Daniel Sedin ($6.100m) / Henrik Sedin ($6.100m) / Alexandre Burrows ($4.500m) Nino Niederreiter ($2.795m) / Ryan Kesler ($5.000m) / Michael Ryder ($4.000m) Chris Higgins ($2.500m) / Sean Couturier ($1.375m) / Jannik Hansen ($1.350m) Tom Sestito ($0.750m) / Matt Hendricks ($1.300m) / Zack Kassian ($0.870m) Jordan Schroeder ($0.851m) / Dale Weise ($0.801m) DEFENSEMEN Dan Hamhuis ($4.500m) / Kevin Bieksa ($4.600m) Mark Streit ($6.000m) / Chris Tanev ($1.501m) Jason Garrison ($4.600m) / Frank Corrado ($0.599m) Andrew Alberts ($1.225m) / GOALTENDERS Cory Schneider ($4.000m) Eddie Lack ($0.750m) OTHER Buyout: David Booth ($0.000m) Buyout: Keith Ballard ($0.000m) ------ CAPGEEK.COM TOTALS (follow @capgeek on Twitter) (these totals are compiled with the bonus cushion) SALARY CAP: $64,300,000; CAP PAYROLL: $66,065,944; BONUSES: $2,375,000 CAP SPACE (23-man roster): $609,056 Nino > Raymond Cout > Roy Ryder > Booth Hendricks > Lapierre Streit = Edler Schneids > Lu plus a phi 2'nd rd for the most part your getting younger by adding a 2'nd Cout & Nino, and in other ares your just getting better for example Ryder over booth. what do you think?

406281dylan Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 the fact that people think ryder will fix a team bothers me, i know ryder very well i have season tickets to the habs and when ryder is not scoring he is the most useless player in the nhl, he is one dimensional. I rather have lapierre then hendricks any day as well. People dont realize how much they will miss lapierre intill he is actually gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
406281dylan Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Comparing Hendricks to Lapierre Lapierre much more offensively gifted Lapierre hits twice as much as hendricks Lapierre has out scored hendricks in nearl every year of his career despite playing with guys such as tom sestito Lapierre fights just as much as well and is much faster and responsible, Comparing Ryder to Booth Booth is physical,can fight, hit and score Ryder is one dimensional and all he can do is shoot the puck Comparing Roy to Couturier Roy is much better offensively and has experience Couturier is big inconsistent and unproven Comparing Raymond to NinoRaymond is hands down more talented, however he is inconsisten Nino is unproven and a complainer. Comparing Streit to Edler Streit is washed up when Edler has potential to be elite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithers joe Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 the aquilinni's are known to not wanting to buy anyone out.....trade or keep.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian42 Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 if the auilinni's don't want to buy anyone out then they are not as serious about winning as they and management have stated, the only problem i have withy lappy is he takes a few too many penalties and i have been a fan of his all the way but also in the playoffs he didn't look nearly as good as expected this year maybe another option for 4'th line centre would be best.

Warhippy Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 You really gave Streit $6 million? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian42 Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 he'd be great on the power play didn't put a lot of thought in that but wouldn't you agree getting assets for elder plus saving his cap and being able to replace him with a ufa d-man would be a good deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
