Nucker 67 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Trying to clear cap space. I hope they don`t get any takers. Unless, like some have suggested, the Canucks take advantage of them, by getting another player(s)/prospect(s) back in the deal. Zaitsev hasn`t produced much over the last 2 seasons (even though his +/- has been okay), but he is a RD with decent size. I think he`s still got 5 years left on his contract, but his salary is about the same as Tanev`s, and Zaitsev is 2 years younger. It could save Benning having to sign an expensive UFA Dman this off season (other than Edler). to TOR - Tanev and Sutter - roughly $8.8 to VAN - Zaitsev and Nylander (that`ll clear some cap space lol) - roughly $11.5 _____ - Pettersson - Nylander Pearson - Horvat - Boeser Edler - Stecher Hughes - Zaitsev Hutton - Schenn Juolevi - Biega Tryamkin? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shift-4 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Team needs D-men more than anything else. First order of business. Trade one of their D-men 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xereau Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Opening line from Dumbass: Quote If you like Derrick Pouliot, boy have I got a deal for you. Nikita Zaitsev. BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! And he PM's you a picture taken with a bubble lense from below, and then links you to Nikita Tryamkin's profile five times before replying.

Provost Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 So, a right handed, more expensive version of Ben Hutton who signed long term. Not physical, not putting up points, effective in any particular area of the game. What he has going for him is that he is just “meh” and not terrible. Someone will probably bite to get a small sweetener like a 3rd round pick or decent prospect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I sense that Zaitsev must be suffering from some undisclosed mysterious 'skin condition' lol..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canucklehead44 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Zaitsev will get bought out or traded to a team trying to reach the cap floor, not a fit at all in Vancouver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this is a deal where Benning goes to Dubas and says "you are going to get one of your prospects offer sheeted, so why not us take Zaitsev and his cap hit off your hands and you trade us Kapanen for a reduced cost? They have 3 potential RFAs that can get an offer sheet, and this may be the right opportunity for us to get one of them for less than what it would take via the offer sheet route? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Eriksson is also on the block. At least he's scored 30 goals before. On sale for a 7th round pick!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the opposite of leverage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Blight Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 TSN is now reporting that Zaitsev has requested the trade. Just a prelude to the Leafs declaring that both parties agree to a mutual termination of contract so Zaitsev can return to the KHL (and a huge payment form the Leafs for helping them with their cap hell). Bob McKenzie ✔@TSNBobMcKenzie · 2h It was Nikita Zaitsev who, for personal reasons, asked TOR today to try to facilitate a trade. He has five years remaining on a contract with an AAV of $4.5M. TOR will try to oblige Zaitsev but are not in a salary cap position to retain much, if any, salary. Bob McKenzie ✔@TSNBobMcKenzie Since the league was made aware this morning of Zaitsev’s availability, there have been multiple inquiries but it remains to be seen how many teams expect TOR to retain salary or make a soft/limited return deal because of the term/$ owed him. 151 3:05 PM - May 30, 2019 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thundernuts Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Not really interested, UNLESS, Benning is able to weaponize some of the cap space the Canucks have, and pick up one of Toronto's good, young wingers. Especially if Toronto agrees to take Eriksson, and either bury him, or buy him out. A guy can dream ;P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmaster Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I was just listening to those dummies on 650am saying how he would be a perfect fit in Vancouver if he came with a prospect. Could be useful but that salary is terrible on our cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronto Don't need Sutter and they are deep at centre..Teams will give up a decent prospect for Nylander who will be a 24-30 goal guy.. Sorry will not get Nylander and Zaitsev for Sutter and hurt Tanev... ...Other teams will offer better package for sure... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 They would have to retain for me to even consider it. Guy is pretty much a liability defensively and average at best offensively. Surprisingly blocks a lot of shots and has a decent hit total but watching him play is rough. I mean, maybe he can fit better here. Playing with Gardiner likely wasn't good for him. But I doubt it. 4.5mil for what, 4-5 years? Easy no unless they take Eriksson back. Zaitsev, Marleau and Kapanen for Eriksson and Tanev maybe.
