I'm not sure the Canucks match that. I think two things are strongly preventing this (thankfully!). 1. The cap. I think teams are seeing others have to give away substantial pick/prospect capital to get rid of tough contracts and are going to be very cautious. 2. The RFA crop. If you are going to give that to Boeser, there may be 5 better forwards that you could make the same/similar offer to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it depends which team signs him. If its a cup competitor then the firsts will be late round picks. If its Edmonton, then take the picks and run, you know they have a few more first overalls in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, wasn't like he was a sought after commodity at the trade deadline. He was overpaid as it was. Most playoff teams probably had equivalent players in their minor league systems instead of trading a 6th or 7th for Hutton.

A $2.8m, 5th D with zero playoff experience is getting snatched up at the TDL.... maybe. Pretty big assumption IMO. Never mind that with injuries he was kind of needed here simply to ice a team. #context. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaulieu is very comparable and got a sixth rounder at the deadline because Buffalo knew they werent going to qualify him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danaimo Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 The Canucks did not qualify him because if he went to arbitration he could be awarded a salary $3m+ based upon comparables given his points and ice time. This would have been a huge overpayment. Better to let him go to UFA and try to resign him for $1.5m or if not, there are plenty of 3rd pairing dmen that will cost you less than $1.5m.
