Now look at essentially every other team in our division, then conference. In 2 seasons we'll have over $33 million in cap space with most of our players still on ELC's or on their first extensions; possibly in the event of Horvat/Boeser their long term extensions. There's a lot of teams that will have decent cap space in 3 years in our conference, but we're one of only 2 teams that actually will be getting effectively younger while we head down that road while still have players coming up on ELCs worth mentioning. Almost universally the rest will be heading towards aging player cap hell and trying to fill the holes with another team's Tanevs and Markstroms. We're in a rough spot this coming season. Sure, admittedly. But after that it's wide open and the Canucks are either by accident or design set for long term prosperity no matter who is in charge based on current prospects, cap space and depth/youth thats it, this is what Jim clearly had in his sights with offering Marky and Tanev less term. I suppose there's still the opportunity for a depth move like circling back to Stecher for a 1 year deal (which I think he'd take) or maybe a trade.

Deemusalami Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I know a lot of Calgary fans are on the fence about this. Which is understandable. But some of the Flames fans I know personally are so irritating when things like this happen. You would think they just landed the second coming of Martin Brodeur and Nick Lidstrom. The best part was I vividly remember a guy at work telling me Vancouver doesn’t have goaltending. This was October last year. And now he’s all gitty today about signing Markstrom. All the sudden he’s a good goalie.This guy tried telling me Gaudreau is better than McDavid though. I know I can be a homer sometimes but man.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that its a reality I think thats a good thing to remember, after next season there are no cap issues and there's a great young core. Most of that cap space is just going to be used to resign Boeser, Demko, Petey & Hughes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mj vic Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I know we were handicapped by the cap and previous bad decisions, but damn we are looking a hell of a lot weaker than last season. Tanev and what he brought is gonna be hard to replace. We need a defensively minded defence man to replace him. We need a Wille Mitchell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the problem was his wife who felt it more important to enhance her "career" in Russia than her husband whod make about 15000 times more than her.

FireGillis Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Loved tanev, but 4 years was too much for him. Benning is having a great off season so far by thinking big picture and not locking into long term with Markstrom and tanev. Money wise both those contracts are fine but they don't work for us because Demko has always been the goalie of the future and tanev's deal is 2 years too long. It's all about preparing for petey and Hughes big paydays and Benning is doing a great job so far. Just don't overpay for barrie now! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a huge stretch to try to be optimistic by saying “if we tank for a couple more years we will have some extra cap space a few years down the road”. We just came off some real momentum and positive feeing from the players who were all excited to get back at it. We seem to have squandered that, and that translates into how much it costs to re-sign our upcoming players. If we are one do the worst teams in the league next year again, how much more will that cost us for Petterson and Hughes extensions compared with it we were showing we are a team on the rise. This was the time to pay some futures to get rid of dead weight and to get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll be just fine. stings for next year but as far as cap management goes its a capologists dream after next season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BlueDragon23 Posted October 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 10, 2020 (edited) Sucks to hear This. But definitely too rich for my tastes. All the best to Tanny. It’s quite comical that some people are complaining that our anchor contracts with poor terms prevented signing Marky and Tanny when in fact Benning is avoiding signing even worst anchor contracts with even more awful terms like the ones today. Y’all are so Jekyll & Hyde it’s ridiculous. Edited October 10, 2020 by BlueDragon23 1 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maniwaki Canuck Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 38 minutes ago, Provost said: We have had a year to negotiate with Tanev and didn’t even tender him an offer until free agency started and after several decent value UFA RD were already off the market. This isn’t a “try” league... We can only judge his moves so far, not imagined future moves. On the face of it, it does look a bit insulting to Tanev's loyalty and the OEL distraction can't have helped. But when we were eliminated vs. Vegas, Tanev was talking about his contractual situation and acknowledged that he might have to wait a bit before getting an offer and that he was okay with that. So I don't think what happened was a surprise to him. In the end, it had to be about term. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
