Petey and Hög and the twins on board now id say his play would most likely improve if he came here. Are you willing to bet 8.25 mil in cap for 6 years for a 30 y/o on it though? I wouldnt be. I personally dont care if OEL would love playing in Van. Players loving to play in Van (hi Edler) should not supercede the best team on the ice and with the cap. I only care about what the Canucks need. We have seen enough sweetheart contracts for unnecessary players. And they definitely dont need two things that come with OEL. First another long term albatross contract. And second, a team built in the image of the Sedins. Love them. Great players and people. But when it comes down to it, the turn the other cheek, play for the PP, nice guy, regular season style that has permeated this team for 20 years is the absolute last identity I want to see built out again. OEL is still a good player. And if he was 3 years at 4.5 mil for sure. But he's not. He is almost double that and declining already. We saw last year what his game looks like. Buyer beware. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they retained 50%, took Eriksson, and the Canucks could nullify his nmc I would be ok with him coming to Van. Might even flip them a 3rd in that scenario. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JesseBlue Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 I think it will be more $$$ retained to get him here. I hope it's close to 50% if true and i would be fine with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we’re still paying OEL six per for five more years. Schmidt would have to go the other way. Then what’s the point? Schmidt is now, in their careers, the better player. So we are stuck with the lesser player for five more years at 6/. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loui is only on the books for one more year, and 2 mill retained still isn't nearly enough. With that contract and OEL's regression, he pretty much has negative value imo. I wouldn't touch it unless AZ was willing to give is a king's ransom for taking that contract on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) Cap set to raise by potentially $6+ million over the next 3 years based on new TV deals, Seattle entering the league and new gate revenue post covid. Canucks set to have upwards of $37 million in cap space over the next 2 years. OEL having listed only 2 teams he will accept a trade to. OEL having a monstrous cap Arizona cannot like CAN NOT afford OEL essentially having said he won't play for AZ after essentially having completely checked out for 2 years Somehow translates into Benning somehow screwing things up and OEL not even being a top 4 defense anymore when literally nothing has happened and Arizona has literally less bargaining power then vancouver did with Kesler The two biggest gripers on here sure do like to hang themselves out there pretty far some days The two biggest gripers on here sure do like to hang themselves out there pretty far some days especially over things that haven't happened, won't happen or likely will never turn out as bad as they claim.

He's still a top pairing guy. I think he ages better than Schmidt will too. If they swap these guys, and OEL is around 6M for the duration with AZ retention, I think we jump at it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
