OJ? Isn’t he still injured? Benn is LHD, Schenn RHD. They need both
- CanuckDon

OJ & Woo were skating on their own both coming off of injuries.

Oh no he owes nothing to the Canucks, we played the bulk of the salary , gave him a great chance to succeed , even traded him to the only place he wanted to go, it was reported that there is just under 4mil in salary , of which the Canucks would pay 800,000 a yr if ltir but the Panthers would have to some juggling to make it work, so instead we pay more again, this is a middle finger to the Canucks, plain and simple
- onesmallleap

Probably as much to the fans as the team. We still can't go two weeks without blaming him in here for losing in 2011.

He sign a legal contract (at the time), Tiny Jump and owes the Canucks nothing.

^this

Tiny or leap would have signed that contract in a f*cking heartbeat if they were in Lu's shoes. He was the best goalie in canuck history and that's it. Huge congrats on a brilliant career and wish him well. People whining about luongos cap penalty need to shut up.

There is talent there. They talked about a few players like Hoglander standing out , Lockwood , Madden . Utenen looked good. Not much said about OJ.
- VANTEL

OJ is skating on his own, doing rehab with Woo.

Those players should stand out a bit, they are older play vs better competition.

Adrian Elefalk is somewhat I kind of wanted to know more on. How do you go from 5 points in 31 games in the NAHL to 3 points in 13 games in the SHL.

Is that brilliance with an asterisk?

It's 3 million for 3 years. Just means we can't overspend in free agency the next couple seasons trying to solidify the bottom 6 more. Going to have to develop.

I agree Carol, if Lu retiring means no stupid contract for Myers than he just made one last great save for the Canucks.
- golfingsince

Agree with that. He may save that idiot benning from signing Myers.

I was a supporter of benning until he gave up the 1st plus for JT Miller just cuz Aquaman that evil scum wanted to make a splash at the draft.

Probably should do this regardless of a recapture penalty or not

OJ is playing , doing the scrimmages .

I don't know what's going on with Schenn . I have heard there is interest from other teams .

Right, but that’s why there is no mention of the lol

Man that’s frustrating. The fact that a surprise cap hit is beneficial because it cripples our GM’s ability to do stupid poop is ridiculous.

We do get back the 800 K we were paying LU in salary so the difference is 2.2 mil.

Oh ok. I heard he could only participate in solo skates/ training. That’s a good sign

I was watching the Canucks D practice on instagram for a bit and the guy said no OJ is still skating on his own when someone asked where he was.

RIGHT!

It is 3 million. Originally people thought it was 3 plus the $800k, but the 3 million includes the salary according to Cap Friendly.

RIGHT!
- manvanfan

It’s a perfect analogy for Canuck management throughout history. Ugh.

Is burrows the only one who did us any favours?
- Bettmanhatesus

If a cap recapture stops us from signing Myers Gillis will be a much better GM than I remember.

This summer's UFA's remind me of the Loui Eriksson UFA class. One or two top dogs and a bunch of overpaid talent behind them waiting to cash in. Just leave the wallet closed.

- Healthy-Scratch

That is correct.

If he can find or create some soft spots on the ice for himself he could score a bunch.

It's a new season coming up, dig down deep and rekindle your enthusiasm and love for the team!
