Anyone with a priority pick over the suitor could claim him so Halak isn't going to waive his NMC with that uncertainty. Maybe, I got to think Halak is going to want out and would take a chance. This could get real toxic in a hurry if he isn't moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good teams don’t rely on their goalie to win them every game. Very good teams don’t clean out their entire front office and coaching staff mid season. Very good teams are right up against the cap and miss the playoffs every singe year. I could go on if you like……. Oh please do go on.

Halak played himself into one bonus but is destroying the save % one all in the same motion. I think a good strategy going forward is play Demko in all the games we should easily get 2 points and secure those points. Play Halak vs the teams you think you’re going to lose to anyways. That’s not how it works. You can’t use LTIR space to pay a bonus. The bonus is going to slide to next year unless the Canucks can clear a lot of cap space between now and the trade deadline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the suitor is found, and Halak agrees and waives his NMC, off he goes. It just isn't working for either parties and it's time move on. It's best for everyone involved. think it's difficult trading Halak considering his NMC and that his performance the last two games isn't going to have teams going after him. One game like he did against the Ducks or Devils in a 7 game series could spell doom for a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

combover Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Jb handed out NTC nmc FNMC like candy hope halak agrees to move on but seems like he won’t. with a Full No movement I don’t think he can even go on waivers. his bonus along with Jv and holtby buyout will only cost the Nucks 3.75 for next year.

flickyoursedin Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Too bad the guy needed another 1-2 good outings and we may have actually gotten a decent pick for him. If moved I can’t see more than a 5th round pick coming back. Unfortunate because I feel like he’s blocking Martin at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres no way in hell halak would agree to go on waiver and have 31 teams that can claim him. Imagine a team all of a sudden loses a goalie and needed a temp one puts a claim in on him like Ottawa Arizona etc that have the space to eat the bonus this year. You'll prolly say great not my problem.. ya halak says no 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have proof he doesn’t like it in Vancouver? The fact that he’s not willing to waive his NMC suggests otherwise. Also. Holtby struggled badly behind Vancouver’s defence last season to the point where he was bought out. He’s rebounded to roughly his career average numbers in Dallas. Putting all Halak’s struggles here entirely on him is being miopic. Not every goalie is Demko. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First off, I said maybe Halak doesn't like it Vancouver. He is struggling so it's not improbable that it's just not a good fit. Second, NMC was negotiated on the off season and lots has changed since then. It is possible that Vancouver just isn't sitting well with him and he would welcome a change of team.

Maybe, but if he wants to play another season in the NHL, he won't if he keeps struggling. May be best for him to move on and show he still has it.

Huh?! Lots of red light reasons to think he may want out. He's struggling, big time. He may never play another game for us or anyone this season. If these last bunch of games are his sample size resume, who the heck will sign a struggling 36, 37 year old, smallish, goaltender who is playing like crap. His career may well be on the line here.
