mll Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 From the link: Staple points to Ottawa Senators pending UFA Jean-Gabriel Pageau as a potential option, but isn't sure whether the Islanders are willing to part with a first-round pick to acquire him. He adds that Anaheim Ducks centre Derek Grant could be a cheaper option for the Islanders, along with New Jersey Devils veteran Travis Zajac, Los Angeles Kings forward Trevor Lewis or Detroit Red Wings centre Luke Glendening.

I was wondering about Derek Grant myself as a depth option for the Canucks, but not sure Anahiem would trade him within the division for a reasonable price.

Ladd in the minors with 50% retained costs under $1.75 million to our cap vs. the $6 million we are paying Eriksson. That is a win for both sides. We get huge cap relief and the Isles get a defensive roster player for cheap (Eriksson effectively costs them $4.25 more in cap compared with their current state) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we are stuck with Ladd. I could see this as a layer in the summer trade if Loui thinks he can still play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a cheaper dollar short term (show me) deal for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Time for a cap dumparoo! If they want Sutter or Beagle, have at em. Any salary lost beyond this year would be tremendous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't have arbitration rights so they have more leverage this year. They might prefer to sign him long term at a lower deal than doing bridge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently Ladd is costing them $4.5 million buried in the minors plus the roster player replacement at about $1 million. Having Eriksson on their roster costs them $6 million. Then add the $2.75 retained adds up to $8.75 million... then subtract the $5.5 they are currently spending for that roster spot equals a net increase of just $3.25, and they save a year of term on Ladd’s buried salary.

Wouldn't Barzel want a short bridge deal so he can prove he’s worth more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) Ladd's deal runs a year longer than LE's - and I doubt a very competitive team like the Isles would both retain cap and eat Eriksson. If they want Roussel though - with both Cizikas and Clutterbuck out - he may fit the bill. Wouldn't feel bad about sending him there. He and Komarov could drive people nuts together.

Canucks are not in a strong bargaining position. Teams know that they have very little end of season cap space and will have a bonus overage. It's known that they want to move Eriksson and have to clear cap to sign Markstrom, Tanev, Virtanen etc. I would think they would use that as leverage in any cap dump deal. Staples lists Derek Grant (700K) as well as Trevor Lewis (2M) as possible options. They are upcoming UFAs and wouldn't use up a roster spot for 2 more years. Clutterbuck and Cizikas are injured for now but will still be under contract next year. Sounds more like they need a short term solution and you are anchoring them with 2 more years of Eriksson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll play you all year LE - even after your (overblown) comments in the summer - but if your production doesn't jump - it's curtains after your signing bonus. After all the b.s. - other teams circumventing the Luongo rule to this team having to eat RL''s recrap - it would only be 'fair' if they caught a break.

Tracksuit Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Sutter for picks. free up cap space for seasons to come and open up some for a possible Expiring rental to help this year. LE is a pipe dream he’d cost more to get rid of than just keeping him. Once all heathy Levio ferland he’ll be relegated back to his most effective position ... the pressbox.

Isn’t that island getting full? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
