We'll see how it plays out. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes no sense alf. The owner has to pay loui regardless of where he plays or even if he doesnt play at all.(barring retirement which wont happen) If that was the case the owner would have pushed to waive loui instead in the hopes of making him retire and not have to pay him.

mayor MCcheese Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Who was waived? Can't see the pic in the OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therodigy Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Though I understand the concern in waiving Baertschi, I see it as a win/win. If he's claimed, we free up $3M+ in cap space. It'll be sad to see him go, and sure, you can argue "asset management," but having the cap space gives the team flexibility moving forward. If he goes unclaimed, we would have amazing forward call-up depth once the inevitable injuries begin to accumulate. Ferland gets a concussion, Pearson breaks a rip, Sutter gets a hernia (again) and BAM he's back in the top 6 like nothing ever happened. Also, for those mad that Loui and Schaller are still around... Just wait until Roussel is activiated. Just sayin... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This doesn't automatically mean he should be on our 1st unit, though. It's more about fit and play-style. He never showed himself to be a scoring or passing threat from the bottom corner spot on the PP and given he's a LH shot and not as skilled as EP, that's really the only spot for him on the 1st unit. Makes more sense to see what he can do in front of the net or even as the main guy on the half boards on another unit, Edited September 30, 2019 by kanucks25 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're still going to have Leivo, Roussel, Virtanen and Gaudette to move up to the top 6 as well as likely Goldy and whoever else might impress in Utica.

Gaudette Celly Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 6 minutes ago, Screw said: 1. SB gets claimed and the canucks free themselves of a 3mill cap hit for a player on the bubble. or 2. SB clears waivers and remains an asset. How is either scenario bad for this team? ...which also solves the Roussel situation, a second bird with the same stone. I think we might be forgetting how frustrating it's been having the likes of Tanev, Edler, Sutter, and Baertschi constantly injured and only playing half seasons. The team might look good on paper, but if you're running with AHL replacements because they can't stay healthy, you aren't getting anywhere.

Toews Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Just now, aGENT said: Only because you still don't grasp what he was doing Outright failure in the long run would have the team floundering and him being fired. Are you going to still going to keep complaining how it 'failed' if we win a cup in three years? If you say so. All I know is that Gillis wanted to rebuild when he was still GM. Tried to trade Kesler at deadline, even had an agreement in place with Bob Murray before ownership nixed that deal. Murray was later quoted in the summer as saying that he had offered more at the deadline. Instead of aiming for the Ducks prospect pool which was chalk full of talent (Etem, Rakell, Gibson, Anderson, Theodore, Vatanen, 10, 24, etc), in true non-rebuilding fashion we aimed for Bonino, Sbisa and the 24th pick. Ironically I think the Ducks win a Cup had they kept Bonino as they would have had the clear edge over Chicago in center depth Filling in the age gap was a farce created to explain why we were senselessly trading away valuable futures for anyone who could remotely help us win some games in the short term. In efforts to pump the last drops of what was left in the Sedin well, we have hurt our asset base in the long run. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HomeBrew Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 If the forwards stay healthy, basically Eriksson has until Roussel is set to return to prove his worth? Seems to be the odd man out still regardless of not being waived yet according to those practice lineups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense but honestly if you’re mentioning GIllis at this point you’re living in the past. its hard to know what the mentality was at the time when we were doubling down on the Sedins. It’s reasonable to suggest they were heavily involved in the decision making feeling they could still bring it.?.?.? either way JB has rectified mistakes and brought this team to the cusp of the post season (this year). Meanwhile the stadium has had respectable crowds and Edmonton is still Oilering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
