VegasCanuck Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Not really a surprise, I kind of assumed that we would try and move him to avoid Cap penalties next year. He's playing well, now's the time if we can.

Ghostsof1915 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Why is there a cap penalty for next year? Did he get performance bonuses or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzle Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) More speculation than a "rumour". The speculation comes from Dreger. "This is interesting. We discussed a bit on the show, so I poked around a bit. I believe the Canucks would consider trading Halak, mostly because Demko is likely to play a lot and the return should be decent for Jaro. The bonus $ likely part of the equation, but not main reason. https://t.co/MnBJPPaJcE" Not a rumour.

Did he get performance bonuses or something? It’s not a penalty it’s performance bonuses based on games played and SV%. I don’t buy it that we’ll trade him. We need a legit backup with our schedule. He’s a bargain this season and even at 3 million he’s worth it for next season. Especially with Demko on a bargain contract. 2 2 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His value's there for sure and the 1.25 cap hit is a factor but helping the Coilers right now seems absurd. On top of that is MD or AS ready for full time backup duties?

Quantum Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Not surprising. It makes a ton of sense. Halak is good enough to be a starter on several teams right now (Oilers, Sabres, Sharks, Bruins, Flyers) and if Halak plays 10 games an overage bonus will be on the Canucks cap next season. Benning gave Halak an NMC for some god damn reason so moving him will be a little harder BUT I think if Halak has a path to be a #1 elsewhere, he likely waives to go elsewhere. With Rutherford in charge, expect a lot of players to be traded. These rumors are only going to ramp up. Halak, Pearson, Poolman, Motte, Dickinson, Lammikko, Highmore, Chaisson will all be dangled in trades. It's clear that Rutherford believes a lot of work needs to be done with this team and he's gonna be getting whatever prospects/picks he can for the assets he inherited from Benning's regime.

Ghostsof1915 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 If it's a second round draft pick in return I'd be interested. But doesn't Halak have a no trade clause? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve got one of the best backups in the division and a brutal schedule coming up. Why would we wanna help a team we’re fighting against for a pick? 3 7 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one in our organization can replace him at this time We were always going to need two years at least until DiPietro or Silovs were ready. And if the LA game proved anything it was that we need a goalie that can keep us in the second game of back to backs. Only way we have a chance.

EternalCanuckFan Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I wonder if Tampa could have interest? Vasilevskiy will obviously play the bulk of the games, but Halak would be an upgrade on Elliot and both are expiring UFAs. Halak's bonus would probably be a turnoff for Tampa, but he would give them more insurance in net. Elliot would be a downgrade but he would at least be a serviceable backup for the Canucks for the remainder of the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
