Popular Post HKSR Posted March 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2020 (edited) HUGE for the Canucks. Certainly means Toffoli will be re-signed (assuming he wants to be here), and likely Stecher as well! Edited March 4, 2020 by HKSR 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithers joe Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 that would be great. that would help teams buried under onerous contracts. if the cap goes up and they can get out from under louie’s contract they could sign marky, toffoli and the rfa’s too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedinery33 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 So revenue is obviously up if 84M is the cap. 88.1M if the NHLPA use their 5% inflator. Either way a 3M raise will be good for the team, we can sign another 3rd line 3M player lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegasCanuck Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 If it bumps up to around 85 million, it changes the game plan. Especially if Loui does retire, gives us solid space to sign everyone that we need to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Pettersson Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I guess Benning must have already known this when he said we won't have any cap issues moving forward. And he probably already knows Loui will retire. If that is the case that gives us $10 million+ in new cap space. More than enough to re-sign Marky and Toffoli. I still think we will walk away from Tanev and try to get a guy like Joel Edmundson in free agency to add some truculence to our back end along with Tryamkin. Stecher is 50/50. We have Rafferty waiting in the wings, so I can see us trading both Demko and Stecher to get some draft picks back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goal:thecup Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I don't think we will be in a hurry to let Tanev go. Benning is building a long, deep D, with lots of talent in the top 8 and NHL-ready D below them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastal.view Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 (edited) they also talked about a higher cap for this season around this time last season when it was finalized though the bump was much much smaller then anyone expected not sure why they are announcing this now prior to discussions with the nhlpa nhlpa is concerned how contract values were being ground down by escrow and made it clear they were going to correct this problem it was not fixed in 1 season i'm going to be a bit less optimistic about the size of the bump then this release suggests until the new cap value is in fact finalized Edited March 4, 2020 by coastal.view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Pettersson Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Miller Pettersson Toffoli 7M Pearson Horvat Boeser Virtanen 2.5M Gaudette 1.5M Lind Motte 1.5M Beagle MacEwen Sutter Roussel Ferland LTIR Hughes Tryamkin 2.5M Edler Myers Edmundson 4M Rafferty Benn Markstrom 7M UFA 1.5M Spooner - 1M Luongo - 3M Baertschi - 2.2 in Utica Total cap is $83M There will be ELC bonuses that need to be paid to Petey and Quinn so we can try and move Baertschi to cover the difference. Maybe add a pick as a sweetener. Trade Demko and Stecher for draft picks. Loui retires. Tanev, Leivo and Fatenberg walk. Cap goes up to $85M. It's doable and works fine. We get bigger and stronger on the back end and still retain our star goalie and both our snipers in Boeser and Toffoli. Add Gallant as the new coach and that is easily a playoff team. Plus there are several expiring contracts that can be replaced by our young prospects so we have the money in 2021 to sign Petey and Quinn. I'm definitely not worried about our cap problem moving forward. Not at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
