I cant imagine he will be a highly prized ufa this year Could see him getting a 1 year show me deal on a contending team like Boston, 1 mil or something like that. See how he does in a reduced role Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How this move is ultimately received will depend in part upon what they do with the cap space buying him out opens up. But yeah, if OEL goes on to look better than he did with us on another team folks aren't going to let that go any time soon. 5 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HKSR Posted June 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2023 What the hell??? This is a really short sighted move. Feels about the same as when Benning traded for OEL/Garland in the first place. Really about ready to just give up watching this team and this sport. First the expansion VGK cup win, and now this... 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mando27 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Said it once and I will say it again, Canucks have got to be the worst managed team in the NHL. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too. I can't help but to think something could have been done to move Myers without added expense. 6m extra cap would have made all the difference.

Its like we like having dead cap for fun Have any Cup winning teams carried dead cap on their roster? LTIR - yes, but true dead cap from a buyout? I haven't looked into it, but I'm guessing no.

The question is, does this management team have what it takes to pull it off? Does this mean we're not moving Myers? I can't see us re-signing Bear now that he needs shoulder surgery, they'll probably let him walk. Welp, we're finally rebuilding the defense and that's exciting.

LucBourdon28 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Managements hands were tied. We have up 0 assets to gain cap space, it really could’ve been worse 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted them gone before but this is far too damaging even if the entire group was replaced by competent management the next day. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outsiders Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 I wonder about a UFA player like Carson Soucy. Have always thought highly of him when I've watched him play. He's 6'5 210. Would maybe cost us 3 million? Seattle fans help me out here? Is he a bottom pairing guy or could he play next to Hronek 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, can't wait for management to sign a 6 to 7 year deal and bring us another anchor contract to replace OEL's. Can't wait!! Exciting!! 1 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 (edited) And I thought we were finally turning a corner with Rutherford/Allvin. They make some good additions from a pro-scouting perspective, they bring in a good coach, they beef up the development, and now this. Jim Benning-esque move. Now they'll turn around & overpay a UFA to fill his spot, saddling us with another onerous contract Edited June 16, 2023 by Smashian Kassian 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
