Neither Tampa or Colorado is likely looking at drafting higher in this crap shoot draft as a high enough priority to trade a good young asset to move up plus lose a good one to Seattle. It makes far more sense to give up their late 1sts to Seattle to have them take an overpaid player they want to get rid of. Cutting out the middle man is cheaper. They wouldn't lose a good player to Seattle if they made the trade that I am proposing. Why does Seattle want over paid players. Seattle might do one of those trades but there is multiple team with the same issue and Seattle isn't going to be full of over payed players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly a YAY JB moment there. Having said that, the Canucks are also not the only team who can try to take advantage of the protection issues of other teams. Seattle will absolutely be willing to take on cap dump contracts if the right other assets are involved. I could see them make many deals like that if other GM's are wanting to do so. It is because guys like Hughes Rathbone Hogs and Pods are not able to be picked. And because JB didn't sign Edler more then 2 years and give him NMC.

But of the 8 teams drafting before Van who is willing to give up their pick. The 9th pick is the most valuable on the market if the other 8 aren't on the market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see Canucks dumping Ericksson and 2nd pick this year to Seattle or one of the rebuilding teams to gain cap space while also trading their 1st pick and a prospect for an impact D with similar or less caphit as Eriksson. Then add a 3rd line C through FA. Sutter and Edler should not be signed if Benning is serious unless Edler signs for 1 or 2 million per year. I want to see a defense like this: Hughes-Seth Jones/Cernak Schmidt-Myers Rathbone-Edler Hamonic Addition of Seth Jones or Cernak and Rathbone will significantly improve the defense.

And they also have more good players that can be than the Canucks do. I wouldn't count your chickens before they hatch on Edler. Or Sutter for that matter. Benning could still re-sign either prior to the expansion draft. And Edler will undoubtedly have to be protected if he does because he will almost certainly have a NMC.

DefCon1 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Also Ericksson has one year left with 3 million dollar in real money owed since Canucks have paid his bonuses so a rebuilding team could use his cap hit for one year to hit cap floor while spending less. He is now a lot more tradeable than last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt Seattle would take Eriksson for a 2nd round pick. Probably not even our 9th OA. Not even sure I would do it if I was Benning. He only has one year left. I expect Seattle will be looking to take on cap players who can actually play on their team next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they were getting a far better contract offer from the Canucks than they could have expected as UFA players from Seattle or anyone else.

Plus, Jake likely has no value, and we will buy him out. If your scenario does occur (would be cool, of course) then OJ might be the cost of switching picks. A small price to pay. TEAM 9OA21 Juolevi VAN L. Hughes I do feel like Juolevi has the potential to get to Ohlund level. He does have some nasty.

That would be really dumb to sign both again. Might as well just call next year a write off. I dont think Benning will sign the same players that missed the playoffs again when he clearly said he will be more aggressive this season after letting key players walk last off season. I mean it wont make sense to let better players walk last off season while re-signing mediocre players this season. Thats going backwards. I dont mind Edler if its for 1 million/year and 1 year contract without NMC or NTC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many teams willing to trade actual decent players to relieve cap that Seattle probably just takes a prospect from the Canucks and calls it a day. Or a guy like Motte, Highmore, etc. I dont see them taking a cap dump from Van Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they dont take 3 million for 1 year Ericksson who has a 6 million cap even with our 9th pick? Then the Seattle GM would be too dumb. Lots of teams will get Ericksson for 1 year with a 2nd and it has been done before. Plus he is owed only 3 million in real money, he is definitely tradeable and Canucks are also desperate for more cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am saying this deal is done after expansion draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eriksson is trade able I agree with you their but no to Seattle and JB would have to consider the cost of doing it. I would do it for a 2nd but not the 9th over all pick. I don't know how many teams would do it for 2nd there would have to be a kicker and that would make me reconsider depending on who it was Lind or Lockwood even Virtanen all day lon OJ or better never Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
