Baerstchi and Eriksson will be waived as they are safe waives, and its also possible that we run with a 21 player roster and everyone else on Taxi. I should also add, its also possible that Benn and Sutter are waived. Not because we need to get rid of them before the season starts, but because its highly unlikely that any other team would claim them at the start of the season due to cap restrictions. Waiving these 4 guys, would allow the Canucks to move all 4 to Taxi Squad on Non-Game days, to free up more overall cap space as all 4 would be the maximum 1.075 million cap relief if they are off the active roster. This is how this years' cap will be managed. If you have Ferland on LTIR and Capfriendly is showing “cap space” of less than Ferland’s cap hit of $3.5m, then it means that you are actually NOT banking any cap space. Instead you will just have that remaining amount of LTIR relief to use. There won’t be any point in waiving Sutter unless you can create more than $3.5m in space and thereby bank a little of cap space to cover this year’s bonuses. Since you can’t use LTIR to bank cap space, then it makes more sense that the LTIR relief will be used to add more players to the active roster (max 23) and we may as well use that space to maximise our depth. I believe the choice of who to keep as extras on the active roster vs who to waive to the taxi squad will be based on the risk of them being picked off waivers. Eriksson, Baer, Benn, Roussel - unlikely to get picked off waivers due to their high salary. Best candidates for taxi squad. Loui to Utica please. Hoglander, Lind, Jasek, Michaelis, Rafferty - waiver exempt, low salary - next best options for taxi squad. MacEwen, Hawryluk, Bailey, Graovac, Chatfield, Brisebois, Sautner - not waiver exempt and low salary. Higher risk of getting picked off waivers. Ideally keep them on 23 man active roster if you want them in the 23 + 6. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read somewhere that we 'save' more if Loui is on the Taxi squad as opposed to the AHL? I can't find it now ofc But yeah great post, it's cap "relief", we don't just get his full salary taken off the books. Best case scenario he comes back just in time for playoffs, but I called his career being over last season and unfortunately still beleive that.

Captain Canuck #12 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 2 hours ago, Smashian Kassian said: I'm a little surprised Hawryluk wasn't in the main group. Seemed like the Canucks coveted him. Would rather see him than Loui, but I guess he'll be a taxi squad guy. Green hasn't even given him a chance to play with the main group. As far as I'm concerned, if MacEwen and Virtanen are getting chances to play there, Hawryluk should too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWMc1 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 There's a fine line between letting young guys play and keeping enough depth available for a condensed schedule. We can't just ice a team of the fan favourites. We will have injuries and we will see a lot of players this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might happen considering he's a Canuck. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loui’s cap hit will be the same whether he is in the AHL or taxi squad, but since taxi squad is still in the NHL then his actual pay will be subject to escrow. If he goes to the AHL then his actual salary will be paid in full. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seems like something the old boys would not like. It’s a young mans league now. There was a time when a between the legs goal was special and considered showboating. Now those goals are pretty common. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alienhuggyflow Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 7 hours ago, NUCKER67 said: This is interesting to note, the Canucks bottom 6 struggled in the playoffs and was a weak area. They need a better bottom 6, more contribution. I'd be fine with Jake in the bottom 6, with MacEwen, Motte, Gaudette, Sutter, and maybe a guy like Michaelis, Lockwood as a spare. I liked Motte, Beagle and Sutter in the bubble but the rest seemed to struggle. Really hope Jake, Rousell, and whoever else is in the bottom six are at least middle of the pack compared to the rest of the Scotia div. If Hogs makes the team and is in the top six I wonder if Green uses Sutter over AG as the 3c deploying the line in a more defensive role. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure it will be Pearson who takes his place, very unlikely he's not re-signed IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep no reason to not re-sign him. He’s only 28 and we don’t have much depth on left wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see Motte given a shot. Edited January 9, 2021 by BarnBurner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank einstein Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Well, people swear at games anyway. I know you're only half-serious but a single voice really wouldn't stand out, it would mostly be crowd emotion. You would have to have a feed at home without a delay though, maybe via a pay-per-cheer feed -- that way you'd be registered and therefore responsible, right? Haha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
