HKSR Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I blame this all on Ian Clark... he's the reason for this mess. Damn goalie factory here in Vancouver causing so many damn goalie controversies 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand going to an actual contender may be cool in his books. I can't see why not, he's a competitor. Buy him out. Gets funnier every time I read it. I know right! Hahah Perfectly good backup, just trying to enjoy playing in Van for the 1 year he signed up for, and because he doesn’t want to go to Edmonton, we buy him out. That’s Simple Jack reasoning if I’ve ever seen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just making a point about the breach of contract, not suggesting that they actually try to demote him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N4ZZY Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) Not sure why Halák would want to remain here if the team doesn’t want him. Edited January 29, 2022 by N4ZZY 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwijibo Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 On 1/28/2022 at 11:43 AM, BPA said: Since Halak has a NMC and allegedly refused to waive, can Canucks do a buyout? No. They can’t buy him out. Buy outs can only be done in the buy out windows in the off-season. His contract will be completed by the time the next buy out window comes into effect 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Surfer Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 A backup goalie is not a great trade chip. Even if Halak wanted to move? He has an NMC. I dont see us getting much better than what we received for Juolevi. Be thrilled if we got what we received for Thomas Vanek. Which many complained about. Its kinda a non story!

"Big save Dave" Rittich and his .904sv% went for a 3rd rounder at the deadline last year. Halak, his track record and his .918sv% is on another level.

coryberg Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 We all know the second he plays his 10th game the team that is holding his rights needs to pony up 1.25 million. Interestingly enough it doesn't necessarily go against next year's cap. If the team has the cap space at the time it can be added to this seasons cap. So if we trade someone (miller,Garland etc) before halak gets game #10 we can absorb halaks full cap hit this season and free up that room for next. It could also make him a more attractive option financially for other teams in trade value at the deadline if we can convince him to move. Food for thought.

Getting ANYTHING back (mid round pick?, B prospect) and getting out from the $1.5m bonus penalty next year is all the return we need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halak is a good back up. I’m sure a contending team would want a solid back up just in case there’s injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve gone the Vesey train. Didn’t work out when he was here. Zacha could be interesting for Halak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
