ilduce39 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 With this room we could also probably go long term on Petey or Hughes - which could save us money down the road. Opens up a lot of options… and with the cap space you know we aren’t done yet. After sitting on it for a few minutes I’m excited for the season - adding OEL, Garland and Dickinson is a pretty awesome way to start the offseason. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddieVedder Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Not a fan of losing out on possibly Kent Johnson or Mason McTavish but not a bad trade. OEL is a legit #1 dman and will be for another 3 or 4 years. Hopefully we can sign Hamonic and Savard. Hoglander - Horvat - Podkolzin Miller - Pettersson - Boeser Pearson - Dickinson - Garland Motte - Graovac - Mackewan Ekman-Larsson - Myers Hughes - Hamonic Joelevi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We rid ourselves of 3 bad contracts for 1 year and take back a bad contract for 6 years and give up a top 10 pick, thats not a win for us, desperate gm making desperate moves Yes I do, but continue to stay mad and kick rocks. While most us look at this objectively and are pretty happy with it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is how he got Garland. No way we get him if he had no leverage. Edited July 23, 2021 by 24K PureCool 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCanuck Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 1 minute ago, Johnny Torts said: Ohh yeah man. People don’t realize the amount of space buying out Virtanen and trading Holtby gives us. Then we have the Schmidt situation. I think Schmidt stays, but I could be wrong. Benning might still want to get a more physical presence on D, or maybe he wants to try and flip to get back into the first round and see who he can pickup in Free Agency. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Elias Pettersson Posted July 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2021 $22 million in cap space. If we can trade Schmidt and Holtby and buy out Virtanen we will have over $35 million in cap space. Jim is gonna be busy on June 28. Give me some Hakanpaa and Hamonic please. Maybe he signs Petey and Quinn to long term deals as well. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang Bang Boogie Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 2 minutes ago, kloubek said: So... assuming Schmidt stays and we sign a UFA on the D, we could look something like: Miller Pettersson Boeser Pearson/Hoglander Horvat Garland/Podkolzin Hoglander/Pearson Dickinson Podkolzin/Garland Motte Sutter Highmore Bailey Hughes OELSavard Schmidt Rathbone Myers OJ Not necessarily a lot of star power there, but to me, a very solid team. Would absolutely love to get David Savard. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our lineup actually looks deep for a change. We all know what Rathbone, Hog, and Pod have the potential to be this year aswell. This is an exciting time. I truly believe we will be at the top of the Pacific again. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoreanHockeyFan Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 3 minutes ago, Down by the River said: This. People have such horrible PTSD from the Loui Eriksson deal that they aren't willing to go one more year with him. OEL is definitely an upgrade, but the cap you lose from Eriksson/Beagle/Roussel in just one year is 13 &^@#ING million dollars. You can do so much with that in the 2022 offseason. If Benning does this trade three years ago, he's an absolute God. Doing this trade now is like deciding to have chemotherapy after the cancer is already in remission. You're almost out of the woods, don't go ahead and add more trees. Yep. To be fair, our forward group looks pretty solid now. But I'm scared for the future. It looks like we just renewed another 6 years of cap hell with OEL's contract. I have faith that OEL can step up and be a legit #1 D for the Canucks, but I don't have faith that he can do it for all 6 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appleboy Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I think they try to sign Hughes and Petey for bridge deals. They will need as much cap space as possible for the next two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
