Fred65 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Looking at Vcr FA's restricted or unrestricted for the season after this upcoming season. There's going to be some big salary increases Horvat, Rodin, Gaunce, Grenier and Etem of the forwards Gudbranson, Larson, Hutton and Tryamkin on D Garteig Seems like a few big salary jumps. The year following will be the Sedins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 If we don't use our cap space than we will be fine. That's one of the reasons I didn't want stamkos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The year following will be the Sedins Some bigger increases there probably, but the others should be marginal. Maybe someone like Rodin or Tryamkin really impress and take a significant jump, but it's more likely the have a bridge deal or something similar.

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Burrows and Miller come off the books after this season, so that frees up $10.5 million AAV (unless one or both are retained, obviously at lower salary than current). Should be enough space to cover the increases. But JB will need to be ruthless on the extensions for some of the players, saving cap where he can, so that he can have some extra space to spend (in case agents for Gudbranson, Horvat, or Hutton push hard for big money and term).

smokes Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Horvat and Hutton needs to prove themselves this year big time. While Horvat did well in the second half of the season, The Canucks were already losing. He has shown that he can be a good player but his numbers still don't reflect a blossoming great player. Hopefully this year he can stay consistant and become a real good player throughout the whole year and not just the second half. As for Hutton, he had a real good first year but he wasn't even able to crack the top 20 in the Calder list. If the Canucks put Hutton and Horvat on inexpensive bridge deals, they can save a lot of that cap space upgrading th rest of the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mll Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 The main ones are Hutton, Gudbranson and Horvat now that Markstrom got taken care of. Miller and Burrows free 10.5M but Markstrom got a ~2M increase already and the team needs a backup goalie and a player to replace Burrows so probably closer to 6.5M for the increases. Add to that whatever cap space they save this year and the yearly cap increase. Larsen is a UFA. Gudbranson has arbitration rights and is one year to free agency. It gives more leverage to the player because he can take the team to arbitration and just become a free agent in a year. Hutton will be 3 years to free agency - they'll probably want to sign him long term instead of giving him a bridge deal to not have the same situation as they have with Gudbranson. Rodin has to play 80 NHL games this year otherwise he will be a UFA instead of a RFA. Grenier is also in the same situation but needs 74 games. That's what happened with Kenins last year. Spoiler (c) Group 6 Free Agents. (i) Means any Player who is age 25 or older who has completed three (3) or more professional seasons, whose SPC has expired and: (i) in the case of a Player other than a goaltender, has played less than 80 NHL Games, or (ii) in the case of a goaltender, has played less than 28 NHL Games (for the purpose of this definition, a goaltender must have played a minimum of thirty (30) minutes in an NHL Game to register a game played).

mpt Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 None of those players are going to land a big contract unless they have big years this year. Horvat and Gudbranson are the two that will likely get the biggest pay increases. Everyone else has to show up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo gets peace of mind, knowing he has security, and we get him at a good cap hit. I see this as a definate win - win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say this like Bo is some kind of brainless idiot. He will be worth more in a few years to any team and he damn well knows it. He'll sign 3 or 4 years max and then look to cash in for the big 6mil+ contract when he's about to go FA. (if he keeps getting better like he consistently has shown he can do) afterwards.
