-Moose Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, oldnews said: ? This has nothing to do with LE. The team has enough contract spots - and could have signed Leivo - and waived Eriksson and saved the difference between the million and change that waiving LE gains, and Leivo's 875k. Really - any team with contract spots (the Canucks have only used 43 of their 50) can sign these types of players - waive them or an alternative - and not have it cost them cap space. I suppose we could have made it work, but it would be extremely tight. We're currently carrying 15 forwards and only 6 defensemen and we're 1.5m over the cap. One of those defensemen is Rathbone, who will be swapped with OJ and we'll save ~60k. Baertschi is most definitely getting waived so that brings us about 500k over the cap. The only other players we'd realistically waive are Loui, Roussel and maybe Beagle or Sutter. Let's say we waive Loui and not replace him; that would bring us to 13 forwards, 6 defensemen and 500k under the cap. We could replace Beagle or Sutter with Hawryluk and that would give us enough cap to bring up another D or two. The only way I see it working is if we waived Roussel and replaced him with Leivo; but we've then waived 4 of our vets and I'm not sure how that makes us look to other UFAs in the future. He probably has a better opportunity in Calgary We realistically need to either buy out Sutter, somehow trade him at 50% retained, trade Benn or if Ferland goes on LTIR; we're saved. Am I wrong, or am I missing something? I didn't get much sleep last night and math makes my brain hurt Edited October 25, 2020 by KeslerWho?

HockeyHarry Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Now watch, Kelly Hrudey will be all praise for these 3 ex Canucks. Hrudey will be saying every Saturday that, Markstrom is now the greatest goalie in the world , Tanev is now the Best defensive Dman shot blocking machine in the world, Leivo is now the best 2 way forward in the world. oh well. I believe Jimbo filled the spots fine. I did like having Leivo as a good depth guy tho. Markstrom > Holtby Tanev < Schmidt Leivo ? Hawryluk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with that JB lets slip the last useful player, we could have re-signed at a reasonable cap hit. Added to Toffoli, and Stecher. But we keep overpaid declining player cap hits Sutter, Rousell, Beagle, Erikkson. Now all we need is two top six forwards, and a 5th defenceman at a good price ..........oh wait. Lol, bro, you should go out and get some fresh air 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillipBlunt Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 The amount of statements out there calling Leivo going to the Flames “not a good look” is hilarious.

Only way they got better is if Marsktrom can continue his MVP like play. Fans there will be quick to turn on the new ex Canuck if he doesn’t live up to his massive contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trebreh Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 the reason why we didn't buy out Erikson is because JB is afraid that Treliving will sign our empty net king. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AV. Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 It's not the end of the world but Leivo at 875K (down from 1.5M) is the type of deal we should have been matching. With us not exhausting the buy-out, you'd have to think Baertschi features in the plans this season, barring some deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or we felt there was no need to have cap tacked onto next year when we could easily waive a couple of guys and make us cap compliant. I honestly didn't really see room to keep Leivo for next year anyway and last thing we need is another injury risked player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
