There’s a lot of guys on the Canucks who are paid $2.5m too much. can’t blame the players for that stupidity though. I swear that Canuck GM chair is cursed.

I wonder if you look across the league, what the average on "overpayment" is the last couple years. Lots of overpaid players on the Canucks, but lots of overpaid players everywhere.

Gives them the chance, but also Silovs the chance to get some real NHL action. It's a big jump from the AHL, so being able to train in the summer with that experience should be a huge boost for him. A pretty straightforward and understandable reason to play him, one would think
- NewYorkNuck

Yup

Sad but true.


That is what is needed though to get high draft picks. You need to suffer first to get them.
- VANTEL

It would be nice to suffer next season as well but I don't know if that will be allowed.

Personally, I don't mind if they make smart moves to try and compete next season but don't forget that asset management is still a priority for them.

100%. The term “over-paid” is relative to success. As fans, we use the term over-paid to voice our displeasure with the results. Score goals, get wins, all is forgiven.

Plus, I think a lot of us think a certain "kind" of player should only be making X dollars. But, the league shifts and sometimes they're right in the ballpark of what they "should" be making relative to their peers.

So 7.5m in cap space will be spent how?

By taking on an expensive expiring contract for a decent draft pick or prospect.

The quicker they get rid of BB the better, regretfully I don't see it happening until the summer, if at all.

Knee jerk without saying the return &/or options in a deal.

Keep it and wait for the right opportunity.

If the D was middle of the pack or better it would look much different. Still believe the Forwards as a group are not good at 200’ hockey.

It’s LTIR cap to be used by March 3rd.

An unpopular choice here, but I'd like VAN to get Greenway.

Many thought the same last season. Including Rutherford. Maybe with a cap increase over 1M, will give some room to make moves for teams.

No Bruce bump this season they’ll be doing some purging. Bo gone is one step.

GM Ken Holland still believes he can salvage some sort of positive value for Puljujarvi.

There is a belief that the Hurricanes have indicated that they are willing to move winger Ondrej Kase (currently on LTIR with a concussion) to Edmonton for Puljujarvi but only after the Finnish winger has cleared waivers. That would allow Carolina to shuffle him back and forth between the AHL if needed while seeing if a change of scenery could help get him going.

That's quite the difference in evaluation.

I’m ok with him. Depends on the offer. Minny just ate some cap.

Bananas and hotdogs seem the same I guess… aside from the nutritional value lol[/img]

Either way there should have been a consequence at some point in the game.

I heard there were 3 seconds left. Not much chance for consequences.

Here ya go Vantel. Someone else did it for me.
