ToTellTheTruth Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 No real reason to place Pearson on LTIR unless there is a trade coming before the TDL and the space is needed. Sitting with about 4.3 mil in cap space before this adds a substantial amount of usable space. 7.4 mil space now. Next year Pearson, if healthy loses trade protection. I sure hope they aren't thinking about trading for one of the available defencemen especially Chychrun, way too expensive unless it is a multi player trade. If Gavrikov then a bigger trade. Or the 3rd in a three way trade where the team gets picks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One would have thought, with Horvat jettisoned to the Islanders, that more players would be traded during this flaming bag of dogshit season. Hopefully things start happening and fans get a clearer picture of what type of team this "management group" wants to build. I'm not holding my breath though. 1 7 1 1 2 1 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is only good until TDL day and then it doesn't matter anymore. IR and LTIR would be the same after. Something like working with Edmonton for a Karlsson trade but that is long term cap retention, the Canucks would have to get multiple 1rts for multiple years from both teams. But retention around Kane might make a lot more sense.

Jam126 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 it should be the FO's job to work on trades. If they're not doing that at the moment they aren't doing their job. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would hate facilitating a Karlsson trade unless the return is exceptional. Kane seems more realistic. I could see Pearson going on LTIR being a shot across the bow of other GMs that the Canucks may be serious about exchanging cap space for assets, assuming there's nothing already in the pipeline. Would love to see this strategy used to benefit the team long term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MattWN. Posted February 17 Popular Post Share Posted February 17 Not sure if it means something is imminent, but at least it gives us the option. Nobody has ever died from blueballs, but this management team is testing our f**king limits. 2 1 6 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUCKER67 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I don't quite understand the implications of Pearson going on LTIR and how this means a trade is going to happen. I guess they would have extra cap space, but what kinds of trades could happen? Is this about the Canucks taking on a bad contract (for a pick and prospect/player)?

We can help facilitate trades taking expiring contracts to balance money in a deal etc. Cap space in the current flat cap landscape that is the NHL gives our team creative ways to potentially extract extra assets 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
