Hey again mods, I get warned yet this poster and Canuck hater uses sexual reference in his posts to deliver a troll blow, and I get in $hit for trying to get these guys to go away….. hmmmmm This is too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also LE has already been paid his signing bonus so his actual sallary would be minimal. Overall it saves them 13.5m cap in the long term as well as 16.5m actual dollars.

He produces. 6' 2" 200 and he just turned 30 last week. He still has 5 good years of hockey left, and if he's paired with Hughes? His production might even increase. He could use a fresh start I'm sure, play in a real market. To ARI - Schmidt and 5th To VAN - OEL (25% retained - VAN paying him around $6.5) Schmidt has 4 years left to his deal and retaining 25% on OEL would be more than Schmidt's cap for the next 4 seasons. Doubt it's what Arizona is looking for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too sure who they still need to sign but they would be getting some guys who can still potentially play. They do seem to be a team that is taking cap dumps. Not saying it is likely to happen but OEL is a cap dump. If we are taking his contract at 8.25 for 6 years I personally wouldn't do it unless they are taking our short term cap dumps.

Holtby, Eriksson, Roussel, Beagle, and Luongo's recapture are all gone next season. Surely we could just wait. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt it's what Arizona is looking for. I don’t know that it is what they are looking for but they don’t care terribly about the cap since they work on an internal budget that is well below the cap ceiling. $50 million in real dollars are owed to OEL and $20.8 million to Schmidt. At 25% retained they still save between $16-17 million real cash just swapping those two players. That isn’t nothing… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some, the taught of a (pre retirement contract) OEL playing D with the Canucks is just to enticing. Hopefully JB doesn't fall in love with the idea and takes on that disastrous contract.

DownUndaCanuck Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 They've still got a lot of cap space, now have Ghost who could replace OEL's minutes to an extent, and who knows, maybe they want more draft picks? I doubt many teams want to retain 50% of a salary but 25% happens sometimes... Would a 2nd round pick this year (high 2nd) + Chatfield + Holtby/Lockwood (I'd say no to Lockwood though) do the job? OEL - Hamonic Hughes - Myers Rathbone - Schmidt Juolevi No point trading Schmidt for OEL, their caps would pretty much be similar and as players there may not be much difference next season (OEL one year older and slower, Schmidt one year more comfortable with this team). Value-wise I worry about OEL slowing down but if we don't have to give up too much I'd do it. Current asking price for Ristolainen is a 2nd + prospect so OEL really shouldn't be too much, plus they only have Keumper under contract so could use a goalie...
