Now that the draft is over hopefully he can get to work on some trades/contracts. Not much time. I think it has more to do with Armstrong being separated from his staff as his contract stipulates he's banned from the draft. Now he has a couple of days to decide what to do.

Junkyard Dog Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I think the Canucks deadline is tonight or tomorrow morning. Ball is in Armstrong's court. He'll either take whatever return the Canucks have offered or OEL will stay a Coyote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Stevie Y would take Bouchard to dump Koskinen. So far tho Stevie hasn't done much to use that cap space of his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmaster Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 This whole situation reminds me of me wanting this 2019 Corvette Z51 2LT a few days ago. The car was mint and test drove very well. In the end I decided it wasn’t worth the 40K on top of my trade in. My 2016 Challenger is a very high trim level and in great shape. The longer this goes, the more I wonder if the Canucks should just stick with Tanev for now and not get sucked into this long and expensive contract. Maybe JB should see other options later as time goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we match that it will be very difficult to upgrade the D moving forward. It's one of the reasons I want OEL so bad. It's just very difficult to upgrade the D from current decent to Stanley Cup decent. It may come down to the numbers but it appears Pits is readying a big offer. Rutherford has been off his rocker lately and I could see him doing something unreasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Benning has probably made it a very difficult decision for Armstrong. Being a new GM, he isn't going to want to f*** up the trade that involves the team's best player and captain, even though his hands are sort of tied. Maybe he's digging in his heals, to show the owners he's trying to get the best return possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I know OEL is a very good Dman, and there is that idea that he would be great on a very good team (like VAN), but his age/contract is pretty scary. $8.2 is a heck of a lot, no Canucks player has ever been paid that much. Not even close. And they would have to pay that for the next 7 years, whether he produces or not. He's got a NMC. Pettersson and Hughes will be signing huge contracts in 1-2 years, so if they're bringing in an $8.2 player, he better deliver. Maybe it's the price he's willing to pay to get rid of Eriksson's contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's the price he's willing to pay to get rid of Eriksson's contract. Ideally he'd be here 6 years and we'd buy him out the 7th and save 4M in cap. 5-6 years is enough time to draft/develop another solid defenseman and by that same time stretch, 5-6 years, their ELC should be ending. If we plan properly bridge deals for Hog/Pod/Lind/etc would be ending when OEL's time here is over. So in terms of long term vision it can work. We just need to figure out Petey/Hughes because even if we sign them to 3 year bridge deals we will have to figure their long term deals out during the time we have OEL. You just have to be very cautious in FA over this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
