This management still has to iron things out though. The PR last season was a nightmare and it's clear Rutherford didn't anticipate how things work in a Canadian Market.

aGENT Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 So barring trades, Soucy to play with Hronek and one of Graves/Mayfield to play with Hughes? And one of Compher/Sundqvist at 3C? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhippy Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 This years defensemen free agents. https://www.spotrac.com/nhl/free-agents/defenseman/ufa/ This years centre free agents. https://www.spotrac.com/nhl/free-agents/center/ufa/ This years goaltending free agents. https://www.spotrac.com/nhl/free-agents/goaltender/ufa/ To get one third line centre will cost us about $5.15 million. To get a quality back up goaltender will cost us about $3.25 million. To get a top 4 defenceman will cost us $6.25 million. This is based on current UFA's, their expiring contracts and the contracts of comparable players that have signed in the last 5-6 months. The 3 positions of need we have to fill the most will cost us about or around $14.4 million. The caveat to this is we need two top 4 defencemen. While in free agency we may be able to fill these roles with quality players on the potential cheap, about or around 410 million is the lowest possible amount this will cost this team. Let us speak of cap space again. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillipBlunt Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Still can’t believe the team has bought out Ekman-Larsson. The possibilities! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cripplereh Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 (edited) Things to think about Trade Beau as we have Hogs to take his place. Myers might be a deal or tdl. Johansson and Woo start the season here plus McWard. Replacing OEL Hirose,Wolanin Briesbois 3c could be Amen bring up Sasson as a C or just use Joshua. Trade for one with Garland,Rathbone and 4th. We can make things work. Edited June 17, 2023 by cripplereh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxVerstappen33 Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 I think we played so hard down the stretch because the decision to buy him out was already made then. They wanted to see what they had with some of these AHL guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabcakes Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 1. The most cap relief comes in the first year, when the Canucks need it the most. In subsequent years, the cap is expected to go up a lot so the pain will be mitigated by that. 2. It's pretty clear that there is no market to move over paid players or otherwise poorly allocated cap on their own such as Boeser, Garland, Myers, Beauvillier etc. Management has deemed that the cost of moving such players would be prohibitive by stripping the team of draft picks or young assets like Hoglander, Podkolzin etc. These are things that the Canucks are still, 9 years since Benning was signed on, in short supply of prospects in the pipe line. This is a case of, you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't. At least they now have some wiggle room. Here's hoping that they use it wisely. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilduce39 Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 I’ll get over it, but… what a dumb move at face value. any money we spend this year wipes out what we’d be gaining next year. I guess there’s a way to benefit if this helps us leverage the league wide cap crunch but holy hell this hurts for a long time. The 2 mil or so will hurt but HEARING ABOUT IT will be the worst part. This ensures Benning discourse into 2030. What a major bummer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
