BlastPast Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) They probably want a deal where they can offload all of LE's contract and take back a bad contract that they can buy out. eg. LE for Cory Schneider at 50%. They then buy out Schneider resulting in a $1.0 x 4 post-buyout cap hit.(total cost is $4.0) If NJ buys out LE right away it saves them a nominal amount of $$$ over buying out Schneider themselves; if they keep him for a season and buy out next year I think their cost is equal to buying out 100% of CS's contract but they would get LE's services for the year. Something like that. Edited September 23, 2020 by BlastPast 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes its 5 mil more if he goes to Utica for 2 years, and he may do that. Or he can terminate, and get a performance bonus contract for next year somewhere. Its not really that crazy an idea that he walks away from this contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not really that crazy an idea that he walks away from this contract. Even with a performance based contract it’s highly unlikely he can come anywhere close to making $5m.

I guess we’ll have to wait and see what happens. I was more taking issue with someone who said he should “do the Canucks a favour” and terminate. It may very well be that the best decision for he and his family is terminating. But I doubt doing the Canucks a “favour” will be the determining factor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try and think of it this way @qwijibo. You've been making a nice, guaranteed, $250k working in a nice city like Vancouver, Montreal etc. Your family is established and comfortable there, your wife and kids have friends but you haven't been pulling your weight at said job. Now you've got an ironclad contract that says they can't fire you and must still pay you for two more years... But they do have a porta potty cleaning division in North Hudson Bay area they can ship you to... Edited September 23, 2020 by aGENT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzle Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Everything happens for a reason. Dhaliwal is still doing his schtick because this market pays attention. Information is fed to him because he serves a purpose. For the Canucks to say they won't take a cap hit + sweetener (if this rumour is true) is just posturing. If the right deal happens, they'll get rid of Eriksson when they can. PUHLEEZE. Furthermore, as people have said, Dhaliwal has definitely felt pressure to make himself seem useful.

NHL97OneTimer Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) 2 hours ago, oldnews said: The player is placed on unconditional waivers. LE in all likelihood, clears. LE then either does not report, or he files a grievance. If he has agreed, he's unlikely to file - the contract terminates. If not, he is welcome to report to Utica. You forgot the last point. Bettman decides that this loophole has gone on long enough and penalizes the Canucks. The other point......if there's no Utica games, the hassles of the AHL are not a big deal to him. He sits at home and keeps his money. The only reason why he terminates his contract is if another team will sign him. That apparently has been a rare event after a termination.

Maniwaki Canuck Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 And if Utica doesn't get the job done, then maybe there's Kalamazoo. Or some beer league in Yellowknife. Are there any limits on management's ability to loan him once he's cleared waivers? Benning seems like a decent guy but I could see him getting a certain sadistic pleasure in discussing the possibilities with Loui and his agent.

kingofsurrey Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I have an idea. Next year put Loui E in the fin costume.... We can have the best skating mascot in the league.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moose Nuckle Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) Eriksson is attractive to a money tight team. That's why there isn't a sweetener. Also he might add if it means getting something good back, he just isn't adding a sweetener to DUMP Eriksson.
