Canucks buy out Cogs and keep Comeau (he's a tough player, great depth and still has value; perhaps a TDL guy). He might even be picked up on waivers. But then again, why wouldn't Dallas do this? If the Canucks could swing this deal, it would a win/win for the team and Loui. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a very good deal for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a very good deal for us. That's still cheaper than Loui. I think that Comeau would be claimed though (which would be great). Dallas would have to really be thinking that Loui can restore some of his past glory though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallas did have a good PK unit tho so there's no burning need there. Loui is a skill upgrade on these two guys... or at least you'd have to believe he would be. I think that time with Bo at the end of the season showed there's something left there but dunno... seems like Dallas would be helping us out unless there are some good prospects going their way too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Well, that would be one way to get rid of Loui's cap hit. Trade him to DAL for Cogliano and Comeau, and then waive those guys to play in Utica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Louie picking up his 4m signing bonus to-date.. to date, over the past 3 seasons,.. 24 Million dollars usd for 31 goals. Do you think he walked into, or phoned the office and thanked anyone?

Ghostsof1915 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 If Loui signs in the Swedish Elite League, are the Canucks still on the hook for his contract? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure about this but think he would have to terminate his existing contract in order to sign in Sweden as I believe there is a agreement in place with most European countries except for Russia. Reasonably sure he could sign in Russia and that would automatically void his existing contract. Perhaps Rob Zepp or Sid Is Me, has a more definitive answer to this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could 'loan' him but then we only get roughly the same cap compensation as waiving him to the AHL. Or he could retire or mutually terminate and play over there, in which case all his cap is gone. Clearly the latter is preferred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly the latter is preferred. loaning him does help us in the sense we don't have to overload Utica with veterans. It would be a nice thing to do as well I suppose to put him in Dallas close to his family, might buy Jim some cred with players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
