The $&!# has already hit the fan but it's good he finally said the right words. You’re clearly on LE’s side in all of this. JB should send him away as quickly as possible.

Couldn’t agree more. Sick of this entitled bs from LE. If I was JB I’d AHL him at this point just to make a point regarding effort. Its funny how quickly LE forgets Travis defending him with his “little things” comment. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bree2 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 i want Loui gone as much as everyone, but I am glad he refused to waive for Lucic, although the whole thing seems suspect, send him to Utica!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the best outcome for the team is to dump Loui’s six million dollar cap hit. So, that’s either by trade, which is not possible. No team wants a player who clearly can no longer play. That leaves Loui getting sent to Utica, or he retires. What’s the best outcome for the team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only 1 mill saved by shipping him to Utica... And some players will be less interested in the Canuck brand. Is that really what you want?

I don't think LE gets sent to Utica. It would only be a cap savings of $1m and would create some negative ideas about the Canuck management. JB is still looking for a viable trade. Loui still has a NTC (until next year), but I"m quite certain he would agree to waive it if JB can find a suitable trade. With the recent bonus being paid off, it lowers LE's annual salary, but the 6m cap space remains. JB may find a team that will take Loui with 1-2 m retained. This would leave the Canucks with 4-5 m cap space. Loui @ 2-3m for 3yrs would be great for a team trying to reach the cap floor. At that price, LE still has enough hockey in him to be a positive addition to a team. We still have a couple of months to see this happen. It certainly is a win scenario for everyone involved.

Higgy; I agree in principle with most of your posts but there are no teams that are struggling to reach the cap floor this year. The only ones under the cap floor at the moment are Winnipeg, Colorado and Ottawa and they all still have a number of players to sign. With that in mind they may; however opt to take on Eriksson's contract or a part of it but at what price to the Canucks? I have a feeling that JB has already been looking into this but has not, as yet, found a suitable partner and at a fair price. I do hope that they can move on from him as it would be a distraction to the team if this carries on into the pre-season and/or beyond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any player out there with half a brain would not be concerned in the least with watching a team send down a player that has underperformed year after year. Especially since that player is still getting paid NHL money. It is allowed by league rules, rules that the NHLPA agreed and signed on to. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had forgotten how the Sens jumped into the swamp to save the Leafs. Perhaps it will have to be defferred to the following offseason, which actually makes it an even better offer. I'm sure JB is uncovering every rock; searching high and low for a viable trade. I though this was an interesting article... https://theprovince.com/sports/hockey/nhl/vancouver-canucks/patrick-johnston-benning-says-canucks-have-a-plan-in-place-for-any-salary-cap-scenario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont buy into the negative image if loui is sent down. Players still sign with the leafs after marleau robida lupul Players still sign with Anaheim after luke schenn Players still sign with buffalo after berglund debacle Players still sign with the kings after &^@#ing over mike richards As of right now he looks like the worst forward on the 23 man roster. If he gets outplayed by another he should be sent down. Thats the way the cookie crumbles. He's got no one to blame but himself. 1 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall a high profile player that can still play in the NHL being sent to the AHL. I remember when Higgy was sent down (and I hated it) but his game had slipped badly. A lot of respect for Chris though...he just did his time without a whisper of negativity. I don't know if the Nucks do it for the 1m cap relief though. They might if they think LE is blocking a more deserving young player though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're talking about the player on the roster not worth six million. I don't have a problem with players sent down to Utica. It's a good idea to have depth so you can have 3 players in Utica you can call back if/when we're struck by injuries and don't loose in quality. But it should be the worst three players. Not as a punishment due to management listen to angry, idiotic fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially a player who is supposedly an experienced guy that is a leader in the room, but who is clearly a selfish guy who’s a complete and utter distraction to the team. Loui cannot, should not, and will not be in the Canuck’s room again. He retires, or he rides buses, eats greasy meals, and shares cockroach infested motel rooms with three video game addicts, who keep him up all night with the loud sounds of “Donkey Kong”. Guy is a disease that must be extracted, completely. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
