CanuckinEdm Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 I wonder why he didn't attempt to get another NHL contract? he's not good but I figure at a decent cap hit he's a backup for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muttley Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 You would have thought there'd be another desirable NHL job he's like. Sound like this is well thought out and what he wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Despite having two of the best players in the world. Still a trainwreck team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB5 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Well the Oilers can always sign Halak now.... he seems to fit their preferred goalie age demographic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signing Nurse, to a 9.5 million per year contract (same as Hedman) doesn't help there cap when filling the goalie position. Spoliers are top heavy with questionable d and no goalie. Atleast, JB with Clarkes' insistence & tutelage the Canucks are doing well, in the goalie department. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he didn't want to? Thanks to Chiapet he secured the bag and now he can sail off into the sunset in Switzerland, not a bad gig. Obviously he wanted to win but the Stanley cup isn't the same driving force for everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kloubek Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Probably the league he deserves to play in. He was severely overpaid by the Oilers and is a backup at best at this level. So now the Oilers are basically without a goalie if Smith retires. It's actually a good thing for them I think - because now they will have no choice but to go out and get an available goalie... who one expects will actually resemble a #1; something they've needed for quite some time now.

If he was going to be a backup you would think he was probably only going to get around 1 Million per season. Switzerland is a pretty sweet deal since he will most likely be a starter plus you can basically from one side of Switzerland to another in a span of 2 to 3 hours (I took a train from the Northern to Southern part of Switzerland and took around 3 hours I think). So this basically means road games is just a comfy bus ride (with some nice scenery of the Alps). Also quality of life is quite good there plus living in Switzerland I am sure the pay is very good. So less travel + good nature (and Skiing) + quality of life + very good pay. Seems like a good deal to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can probably make comparable if not more money in Switzerland if he's a starter there, and is there anything bad about Switzerland? Seems like a chill place to play hockey.

Seems like a chill place to play hockey. Seems a lot better place to live than the hellhole he's been stuck in, and the team is much closer to NHL quality.
