Ghostsof1915 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Just a move to the taxi squad? The guy got 43 points last year. 4 points (3 of them goals) in 16 games this year. He is #4 on the depth chart on LW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to have played more wing this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provost Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 (edited) Names like this on the waiver wire show how much cap hits matter right now. It is unlikely that anyone claims him with that contract, even though he would be an upgrade on more than one of the 13 forwards on most teams. Guy scored 26 goals, 21 at even strength last season, 0.61 PPG in 3rd line minutes and he is on waivers today.

HC20.0 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 If this wasn’t a flat cap year, he’d get claimed immediately. Henrique’s having a down year, but he’s still one heck of a player. Kinda like Pearson when we nabbed him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPA Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I remember wanting him a few years back. Shocking his stock dropped this much. But that cap hit is atrocious. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Right now cap hits are more important than just about anything else. Wonder if they did this to see if someone would claim him. He is certainly not all "done" just because of a bad start to this season but I can see the frustration. Don't see anyone putting a claim for anyone over 2M in cap hit this season, especially with that term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCNate Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Nearly 6 mill for 4 years for a .5 ppg guy is pretty rough. They'll be able to trade him with some retention though, he is a pretty good player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At half the price lots of teams would probably be interested, even with the term left... or in a deal where they have to take bad cap back to even it out (I hope not us with that term and age... he is not the ideal 3C for us) They aren't at the cap once you factor in Kesler's LTIR, so there doesn't seem to be any cap specific reason. They have two guys coming off LTIR soon who are on conditioning stats... so maybe there are some inner workings cap wise they are trying to work out.

brian42 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Once Henrique clears waivers(which he will): henrique (50% retained) for Virtanen ? Henrique is a pretty solid faceoff guy and solid defensively, once Sutter leaves for cap space the Canucks would Probly prefer him to Gaudette as our 3rd line center. In order to sign Hughes and Petey they Would have to let Baertschi, Sutter, Benn and 1 of Pearson or Edler all go and maybe Gaudette for picks or prospects but I think they could fit in Henrique at 50% retained basically taking jakes spot. although he would still cost about 350k more than JV.

Loui, too long by a year for sure, maybe two, and too much for that long. That said even those against that deal/signing didn't see the disaster that it became. I figured it might get Luongo cap recapture bad, never as bad as this though. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
