Popular Post Arrow 1983 Posted July 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 29, 2019 (edited) For Ott, it makes sense cause they are unable to place Gaborik on LTIR due to the fact they Are no where near Max Cap, and they get a player in Erikson who can play. If this sounds familiar it is just like the Original Horton Clarkson deal. https://thehockeynews.com/news/article/clarkson-for-horton-trade-a-legal-and-brilliant-circumvention-of-the-salary-cap. Furthermore, Erikson will be a greater cap hit for Ott but will cost them the same dollar value. This could come in to play for Ott in years to come to reach the cap floor especial as they rebuild their team and the floor goes up in future seasons. For Van, it makes sense cause we can put Gaborik on LTIR if needed and then next season buy him out. His current buyout for next season would cost the Canucks 2.825 mill in the first year and 1.025 mill second year these number are far less then the 6 million cap hit from Erikson. Or if we are up against the cap next season as it looks like the Canucks will be they can then place Gaborik's contract on LTIR and there would be no need to buy him out and after that season his contract would be off the books in time to sign Hughs and Pettersson. I myself would have no problem seeing the Canucks add either or both Leivo and Goldy in a trade like this, as the Canucks do not currently have the roster space for either of them if Gaud is to make the team. Both these players could become good stop gaps for Ott and give Ott younger players time to develop.

Alflives Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I like your proposal. Horton’s contract was not insured. Leafs took it and paid the dollars out of their pocket. No insurance dollars. Columbus had no money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM_ Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 (edited) why bother buying him out? just use the LTIR. We could sign Boeser to a higher salary long term deal with room to spare, with cap space opening up a lot in 2 seasons after Marion is gone. Gives us some breathing room for the next 2 seasons.

I want to see some more play out of those guys before we cut them adrift. Leivo has shown some good hands and some smart play and Goldy is tantalizingly close to figuring out NHL hockey (though admittedly not quite there yet).

Definitely Leivo, but wouldn’t shed any tears if Goldy was included. Hasn’t shown nearly enough with or without the puck in my mind. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought with roster issues and the fact that if it could get Eriksson off the books then both those players in that scenario are expandable. Keep in mind to that Leivo is UFA next season and if he has a good year he will be in for a pay day and I just don't see the Canucks with cap to fit Leivo in at 2.5-3.5 mill per season. The other option is he has a bad season and he is not worth keeping anyways. The only upside would be he has a good season but the team has a bad season and the Canucks trade him at the deadline. If he has a good season and the Canucks are looking at making the playoffs at the Deadline I just don't see Benning trading him.

Popular Post King Heffy Posted July 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 29, 2019 Eighty percent of Gaborik's contract is covered by insurance (source). He's basically Melnyk's dream player. They'll just keep him on regular IR instead of LTIR. 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Harman Dayal of the Athletic floated the idea of trading for Kesler, who has a 6.875 million dollar cap hit and will likely be on LTIR for the rest of his career. His contract is also entirely base salary and not signing bonus. If the contract isn't insured then it's almost certainly something the Ducks' ownership would want to move out. The Canucks could take back the contract and simply put him on LTIR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leivo has a "show me" year, and if he plays well pay him and if he doesn't, don't. Go Canucks Go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KariyaSakicAnderson Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Just as @King Heffymentioned the Gaborik contract is what Melnyk wants. He won't move it for LE. Ottawa doesn't need cap space hence they don't need to put a player on LTIR. Gaborik will be on IR, his cap hit will count towards the cap but the team only pays 20% of it so like 800k.

mll Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 (edited) Last year the Canucks had Dorsett on IR all season and not LTIR because they were operating well below the cap. Same for Toronto who had Horton on IR and not LTIR. Ottawa isn't anywhere close to the cap. Gaborik and MacArthur on IR helps them reach the floor. Both those contracts are insured per Garioch - i.e. the cost in real dollars is minimal. They help Ottawa reach the cap floor and don't cost a roster spot. Arizona had the same strategy as Ottawa in the past when when they were below the floor. They added IR contracts that were insured - Pronger, Bolland never played a game for Arizona but their cap hit helped them reach the floor at a minimal cost. It's not allowed to buy out an injured player btw. Edited July 29, 2019 by mll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
