GhostsOf1994 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Miller Petey Boeser Pearson Horvat Leivo Ferland Gaudette Virtanen Roussel Beagle Sutter Pearson and leivo are spot holders until 2 of lind podz and hoglander make the team. Nils would be deadly on either of Horvats or Peteys wings. Let's trade the most talented prospect we have for Tyler Toffoli. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't get the obsession with cap space, especially when not immediately needed. There is no issue right now, and the team has plenty of ways to free some up if need be without throwing away quality assets. Just because the Leafs do it doesn't mean that's the way to go.

Gaudette Celly Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Hoglander + Sutter for pending UFA Podkolzin + Eriksson for 3rd round pick Madden + Baertschi for anything Capspace! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM_ Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 1 hour ago, PhillipBlunt said: While I'm all for getting Sutter, Eriksson, and Baertschi off the books, Hoglander is too good of a player (much like Podkolzin) to trade away to make cap space. And Toffoli offers no guarantee of re-signing here. Certainly some teams could be convinced to take a middling player by being offered a tantalizing prospect, but I highly doubt LA would take on 3 of them, even with Hoglander. we also don't really need to dump Sutter, he's gone after next season when we actually need space for Hughes and Petey's next contracts. Baer too. Loui... well, if the Pearson-Bo-Loui line keeps producing over a point per game we really don't need to do anything there either. Hog's is too intriguing to use as a cap dump.

The Seattle expansion is in 2021, Baertschi and Sutter's contracts would have expired. Why would Seattle take on a cap dump? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutter's place on the team is quickly being phased out, and Baertschi will likely never play another game as a Canuck. If either can be traded, I say do so. Same with Eriksson. 1 minute ago, Jimmy McGill said: Loui... well, if the Pearson-Bo-Loui line keeps producing over a point per game we really don't need to do anything there either.

We can't be trading them away. Ya, i was considering that too. Even if we do manage to keep our core, we'll need guys making near entry-level. I share your opinion of our 'garbage cap situation' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not ideal, but at least Sutter and Baer are gone after one more year and we're lucky to have talented kids on ELCs and bridge deals in the meantime. I suspect Loui might retire after the next bonus payment if they can get him a Longo-type gig to pay him the rest of his deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Pettersson Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Cap space isn't an issue with us moving forward. If people actually spent an hour or so on Cap Friendly you could figure this out on your own. Lots of ways to move contracts and get dead money off the books over the next 2 years plus Petey and Hughes aren't due until next summer when we have over $20 million coming off the books. Cap Friendly easily shows this. Coming off the books in the summer of 2021: Spooner - $1,033,333 Baertschi - $3,366,666 Teves - $700,000 Sutter - $4,375,000 Edler - $6,000,000 Benn - $2,000,000 Pearson - $3,750,000 That's $21,224,999 in cap space freed up for 2021. Not to mention the cap will probably be a few million higher after the expansion draft takes place and the new tv deal kicks in. Ferland may also be off the books as he could retire or at the very least on LTIR. Also, Eriksson could be bought out for an additional $2 million in savings if he isn't already retired. Like I said cap space will not be an issue moving forward. Next year I anticipate us bringing in some youth on cheap ELC's like Hoglander, Lind, MacEwen, Brisebois and Rafferty. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 2 hours ago, Ossi Vaananen said: ya, and dump some cap in the process. 17m in capspace next year with 13 signed. need to re-up Virtanen/Gaudette and sign pending UFAs Tanev/Markstrom. Do that, and you still have to free probably 18m for Petey/Hughes the year after. We'll need to start dumping cap, that might cost us pieces. Im not the GM. But I dont have much interest in rentals. Meanwhile Hoglander is leading the WJC's in scoring. One of the best athletes from his draft. We need that speed and those skating edges on our team more than Toffoli! I can be patient! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 As our young stars get their bigger contracts the importance of having guys who can step in on ELC's and play will be huge, Hoglander could be one of those guys. Podz too. I'd sooner part with picks to dump cap, anything but the 1st. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 No, doesn't make sense. He'll be on an ELC when our young players like Pettersson get their giant contracts -- Podkolzin and Hoglander are gonna be important parts in the future... we can just sign Toffoli in the offseason if we really want him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the grinder Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 just no to trading the hog , , he could definitely be playing next year for the canucks and that is 3 cheap years of production ,, another steal for jim benning and you want to trade him to the kings for a rental . lets just keep building thru the draft, hog next year , podi the year after , 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
