aliboy Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Same according to Eklund, who probably got it from the other site. http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog/Eklund/Cap-to-be-714-528--Oilers-and-Greens-Rights-SekeraDete4-BuzzLive-1pm/1/69459 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 So we have at least 5 mil cap room now? Helps a little bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lui's Knob Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Lazy...which teams are specifically up against the cap heading into this summer? Chicago? NYR? and where does Vancouver fit in right now (minus pending deals to offload contracts)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonMexico Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Has the salary cap really done anything good for the league and it's players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 ^Sure, it's helped promote the notion of team-equality/competitive-fairness. Just keep purchasing the overpriced ducats in Canada, & help sustain their southern welfare-scheme. Celebrate TDL & DD, for there's no Cdn Cup parade for two decades,+. Unbelievable hoax..incredibly strong addiction we suffer from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VanGnome Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Now that the cap is set to an exact number, we should start to see trade dominoes falling shortly, if not by Thur, Friday is going to be a big and busy day. I think we might actually see a record number of transactions and picks moved in this draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Now if we could just unload a high contract or two we will have some wiggle room. Perhaps we could build a time machine before Sbisa and Miller were signed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Edmonton should offer sheet Hamilton. Exactly what they need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyhee Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 This is great news for those teams that are or were in cap trouble. Canucks were one of those teams that could have been in cap trouble, but I think at $71.4 their situation is manageable. They won't have room for big ticket free agents or be able to benefit from other teams shedding cap by trade unless some move(s) happen(s) to reduce their cap hit.

Nuxfanabroad Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 As economists like to say, are they just kicking the can further down the road? Sooner or later the BOG/NHLPA vision of perpetual & endless growth will run head-onto a contracting economy. Or perhaps the entity that provides ice sheets in deserts will continue to defy gravity?

ForsbergTheGreat Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Minus the number Kenins got, after Lack is dealt canucks will have 6.75 in space to sign 6 players to give us our 23 man roster. Assuming it’s Markstrom Corrado, Clendening, Vey, Baertschi, Weber Again assuming there are all signed at the league minimum to what they can be offered as RFA’s, Only Weber and possibly Vey have any bargaining power based off their last seasons. I also imagine that most deals signed are only 1 year deals as canucks have a ton more space opening up next year. Kenins = 690 Vey = 775 Weber = 900 Clendening = 975 Corrado = 630 Markstrom 1.2 Baertschi 1.51 = 6.68 Just enough space. Although I fully expect there to be another trade made. Bieska adds 4.6 extra in cap space, Higgins would add another 2.5 Ideally canucks give Weber and Vey qualifying offers and move Bieska this offseason and that 4.6 cap is used to fill a top 4 D hole. If Virtanen can show that he makes the team, that will allow us to move Higgins before Christmas and canucks can use the Higgins cap saving into re-upping Weber and Vey (if we decide to). Then in the following offseason if we haven’t traded them by deadline, Vbrata and Hamhuis could come off the books opening up another 9.5 mil in cap space.
