At least waiting until the end of season to move, his kids can stay in their school and the family has lots of time to adjust to the move. Why bother signing NMC if the team is going to badger you to waive it? Very classy! In fairness to the Canucks it wasn’t this regime that negotiated the NMC.

rekker Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Too bad Halak played like crap down the stretch to TDL. Teams out there needed goaltending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

higgyfan Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/canucks-halak-waive-no-move-clause-trade-deadline Looks like he did offer to waive his NMC but no team wanted him in a trade. End of story. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

combover Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Should have just waived him see if anyone bites. oh well the cap saved in hamonic bad contract can be used to pay off another Jb bad contract. Owners should be use to paying for JB fups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canucklehead44 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 (edited) Given the Panthers received a 6th round pick for eating 1.5 million in cap space and Halak's cap this year would be 6 million (or 1.5 next year) so it would have likely cost us a 3rd to dump him. Rather keep the pick. Edited March 21, 2022 by canucklehead44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we need to see if the last stretch was just a fluke or if he can be a reliable backup. No way he gets more than a mil regardless if he plays more games or not. That can be buried in the AHL if he can’t cut it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a .915 S% and 15-3-2 record in Abby I suspect he'll already get over a mil as he'll be a ufa. Don't add to his bargaining power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All he has to do is wait until free agency if he feels he's being lowballed. Another team may be willing to offer a two at even 2m. If he's not performing back to the AHL at an AHL salary. Is he confident enough to go for 2m on a two way rather than 1m on a one way? We somewhat gambled on Demko based on three playoff games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What his camp will be asking for is a 1 way contract so he’s guaranteed that money. If they offer him a one way 2 year deal at around 900k he’d be crazy not to take it. He was a relative unknown that Tampa gave away before his three game stint here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure his agent would recommend the sure money but it's still up to the player. I also think at 900k his agent would recommend waiting until free agency.

If we’re offering him the backup role next season that’s more than any team is willing to offer him guaranteed. Plus he gets the chance to be coached by one of the best goalie coaches in the game. If he even thinks of turning that down I don’t want him cause that means the guys a complete dummy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
