But so far Francis has failed miserably and I would be pissed if I was a fan. With his reputation of being difficult to trade with as well, Seattle is going to be hurting for a looooooong time Let's hope so!! We've been waiting for a punching bag for a long long time in the division!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still some opportunity to dramatically improve with guys like Tarasenko etc too.

86Viking Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 so we take a 2yr dead cap hit totallying 2.4m, add a back up on a 1yr deal for say 1.5m...that is only saving the team 400k and it inhibits 1.9m of cap space next year. So don't take a deal with retention...buy him out and end up having it cost us more in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Kevin Woodley suggested Mcelhinney as a back up option, he is older but he turned his career around under Ian Clark in Columbus. So familiarity and should be cheap contract which is what we need to have with the dead cap with the holtby buyout 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kobayashi Maru Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Raanta or Halak would be pretty solid backups if we can get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devron Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) Always liked Halak. Raanta maybe too much of a health liability but who knows Edited July 27, 2021 by Devron44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyGuy123 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Rants would be unbelievable and someone you could eventually use as a trade chip. Familiar with OEL and Garland too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We Are All Cucks Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 So who signs with the Canes?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We Are All Cucks Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Basically, if the total of Halak + buyout of Holtby = same or less than Holtby's prior salary, that's a huge win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewbieCanuckFan Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 A probable cheaper and just as good (considering Holtby was hot garbage) as Holtby. Benning is on a roll this off-season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
