Let's see what happens before next season? Or maybe keep going off half assed like typical then just take your words back sheepishly in time.

In a flat cap covid environment combined with all the other pre covid bad contracts this is an overpayment. Lets ask Sven Baertschi who was the last Horvat winger who got signed to one of these where he ended up. flat cap does not matter, if it were falling i would agree with you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gawdzukes Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Uggg, hate it. I think it's a decent price for what he brings overall at his age but he's just a tweener for us. Benning better hope that cap goes up in two years. I wonder what his plan is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Bennings priority is Pearson at too much money for 3 years. If EP and QH agents play hardball on their contracts, which one will you be ok trading for next to nothing or futures so we can have Pearson? Since Benning has shown he cant trade anyone with a bad contract (maybe because other GM's understand the effect of a flat cap) Flat cap absolutely matters. Benning should be fired for not learning that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wallstreetamigo Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Like teams like Chicago and Detroit, the Canucks need to convince Eriksson and Ferland to go on lifetime ltir aka "retirement without retiring" to game the cap system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kloubek Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 (edited) I guess it all depends. Do we get .65ppg Pearson from last year or .33ppg Pearson of this year? Likely somewhere in between. The only way this makes sense to me is if we get .65ppg Pearson for those 3 years. IMO, this is too much in a cap strapped world. For a 2 or 3 year contract, I was hoping around 2.5-2.75. Guess that's hard to justify when you have a 4 point Rooster getting paid 3m per... Edited April 9, 2021 by kloubek 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then likely buy out a couple of contracts, probably Killorn + Rutta. Sign some league minimum guys and problems solved. Even if TB loses Palat and buys out Killorn and Ruuta, that only frees up enough space for Kucherov to come off LTIR. It doesn't allow for Foote to be resigned or adding any additional contracts plus they still lose Coleman and Goodrow as UFAs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
