Dr. Crossbar Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 It doesn't matter what OEL does next season. He had two seasons here and wasn't worth that contract. We did the right and necessary thing People have been talking about his "return to form" for three seasons now. I highly doubt based on our own experience with him that he'd be able to return to form with the Canucks. It wasn't going that way here. If he somehow does next year, maybe the buyout is more motivation for him and the motivation he needs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 12 minutes ago, ilduce39 said: Yeah, and Canucks fans we should brace for the inevitability of him having a pretty good season next year. For real though. One could argue that he contributed to last season's team being poor defensively, one could also argue that most D are going to look bad on a team that's porous defensively. No bones about it, we were pretty awful defensively for most of last season. Put him on a team with better systems, and on a team that's largely committed to defense as a whole and he'll likely look better. Prime Kesler couldn't have saved our season last season, not with goaltending like we had. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think they did rush to be honest. I think they’ve explored moving him for a year. Pretty sure the buyout made more sense this offseason then next offseason. The good news is the cap will likely be going up and contracts will be coming off the books when the bad years of the buyout hit. If this team can’t contend without spending an extra 5 mil in those years they likely never were going to anyways.

If you fix the team, there is no need to hire misinformation specialists. I mean parasitic leeches like Drance, Kuzma etc aren't really any better 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have prefered on more year with him and buy out next year so there would be two less years of dead cap at least, but what's done is done. We're not contending with or without him this coming season anyway. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong (going off of memory here) but I recall when I was playing with the buy out calculator, doing it now is the only year where oel is more or less off the books completely. And I think it might have had to do with real cash savings. OEL was due around 10 million this year and next. Doing the buyout now saves around 9 million in real cash, and spread out over 8 years. I was thinking he might bounce back as well, but the more I think of it the more I like the move. As long as the roster improves significantly and they plan ahead to have some ELCs slot in during the bigger cap hit years, we could see an overall much better team. I really was rooting for oel, but with Hughes on the team, I think his skillset was redundant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She’s still trashing the Canucks as of this moment. Can’t let it go. She was definitely the mole that needed to be exterminated… 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one am shocked. He'd be a helluva third pairing D to have at a cost effective rate, you know he's probably gonna have a chip on his shoulder next season. And another fracture in his ankle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad this management team is proactive enough to take out the trash when it is warranted, and not let things fester and create unnecessary turmoil. They will remove toxicity, whether it be an elephant in the room, or from elsewhere (ie Doerrie, from the front office) Edited June 21, 2023 by Sophomore Jinx 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trades with salary retained etc., but other teams probably tried to get some other goodies to help them out, and in the end it made the most sense to just pay him out. Glad they took the bull by the horns, and did what they felt, they had to in order to improve the team... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
