ItTakesAnArmy Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Right now the Canucks have over 12 mil off the books with injured players. Edler, Sutter, Motte and Graovac, with the additional 6+mil cap hit for Luongo, Spooner and Baerstchi Even at the start of the season they were millions over but had Roussel off the books and the way the cap works the longer off the more they can adjust the dollars. Who goes when Edler and Sutter come back? Even if they sent Eriksson down they still get a 5 mil cap hit. This team's cap situation may be the worst in the league right now. They are so capped out and have too many contracts. Benning cannot trade for players, there is no room. ONE of the only ways he can make space is to trade Eriksson but other teams will want a top draft pick added, Eriksson is now that bad contract traded from team to team with draft picks added. How ele wil he conjure up cap space? Already the team has compromised a prospect, Gaudette. He will not pass through waivers now. Benning will have to trade away roster players for picks or AHL players. Maybe if he trades Markstorm maybe he can get a pick to add to an Eriksson trade and take 10 mil off the cap, that still would not free up enough for trades but then he would not have to lose players for free. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MattJVD Posted December 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2019 Edler, Motte, and Graovac are not off the books, just off the roster. Their cap hit is still applied. With all our injured players back, (meaning 16 forwards, 8 D, 2 golies). We'd be at an 82,798,206 cap hit, over the cap by $1,298,206. (Including our buyout, recapture penalty, and burried players). We would be 3 players over the roster limit with all of those players back, so 3 would have to be sent down. Sending down the cheapest 3 players would net us $2,315,000 in cap space, making us cap and roster compliant with over 1 mil in cap space. 3 2 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Wanless Posted December 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2019 You should really play around with the arm chair gm function On capfriendly.com This will tell you that sending Schaller graovac and Chatfield down keeps us under the cap and at the roster limit And haven't you heard, Jim Benning is no longer the guy on the hot seat.

No disrespect, but I don't think you fully understand how any of this works. Canucks have 0 cap issues this year at all, and are in very good shape for the next couple of seasons. Not many teams in the NHL are in as good a spot as the Canucks with regards to the cap. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItTakesAnArmy Posted December 9, 2019 Author Share Posted December 9, 2019 It isn't whether or not they are under the cap now, it has to do with what else they can do, which is nothing. They cannot trade for a player without getting rid of cap space. They cannot trade cap space for an draft pick, if anything they might trade another draft pick to create cap space. As far as next year they will have almost 10 mil in reduced cap due to buy outs, claw backs and bonuses, 10 million less And they will have only 13 players signed. That would include both Sven and Eriksson as signed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is they now have the depth to weather those injuries 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many of those years were we near the top of the league in special teams and goal differential into December? This is the best team under Benning’s tenure, it really shouldn’t be difficult to see that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot of people who have lines of credit and credit cards and can't manage that. Let alone a salary cap in a pro sports league. Besides I don't think anyone expected the league to throw the team under the bus over Lu's contact. Or I guess knowing Canucks luck we should have guessed it. Worst case we might lose some depth. And be stuck with Eriksson in the minors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
