Bishop signed... Time to go pick up a crappy dallas back up for Marky

The combine and player interviews will play a big part on who each team goes after for these spots.

I say Patrick Makar or Glass will be a Canuck unless they are smart anf go to NCAA for four years

It would be like Canucks offering a pick and prospect for them to pick up Daniels last year

No it wouldn't, they have three goalies signed and don't want two of them, the Canucks want Daniel, thus he wouldn't be offered up.

They'll pay someone with cap space to take one of those guys off their hands, I guarantee it. Phoenix took on Pronger, Bolland and Datsyuk and got paid for it, the Canucks should do the same.

Dependant on which picks/prospects, yes

We still want Daniel


They are a rebuild team they have plenty of cap space they will waive him. No need to give up picks or prospects

Hey....I said "they", as in Trevor Linden.

I don't think they're rebuilding, they have several great young players and the best winger in the league. Re-tooling I'd say. If Nill would have fired their coach and got them goaltending last year they'd have made the playoffs.

Exactly my point.

I cant figure why anyone wouldnt want to use the cap space to get additional picks/prospects..

I didnt realize we were a cup contender

I was just looking at their roster for the expansion draft. They are in great shape , now and for years

Dallas does not need cap space

They're not rebuilding, they just have a bad manager and (had) a bad coach.

- VANTEL

Sure they do, they're in a contend mode, they could use cap space to sign players or make trades.

Didn't happen if you can't prove it

mccag has him at 2, button has him at 5. His consensus rank was 9 but it's been rising

Why though would they give up assets when they can either buy outs or bury/waive the player.

I totally understand where you are trying to go, but Dallas nor Carolina for that matter are in position to be concerned about it.

Depends....when you waive a player you only save 900K of his salary, when you trade him you can save his entire salary.

They had 50 wins and won the Central last year, this year they had poopty goaltending and Benn was playing injured, so was Spezza. Really depends on how they feel about their team.

They're certainly not in any cap trouble but they could sign Thornton and Marleau plus some RFA's and it's all gone.
