The best we got was LE Sutter Grandlund when WD still coached, and for whatever reason TG refused to try that again. His family moving to a "base of operations" makes sense , and probably makes it easier to find him a new home. Green has to show some class and make an attempt to make amends.

TG has nothing to do other than win & do what he thinks he has to do to do it.

I literally have no idea what you are trying to say?

Canucks have been a very bad teen. Hutton has been playing top 4 for the Canucks. Ergo, Hutton is a top 4 D on a bad team.

In the same way that Bo Horvat was a 1c and Edler a 1D, ya sure. People do jobs they aren't qualified for, that’s why they get fired or demoted. Ergo Hutton may not even play in the NHL again let alone is he a top4 dman

He's never played with Peter and brock. Try it. Never know could turn into the best line in hockey.

I am pretty sure he did last year

No i missed nothing. I’m sure Brock & Goldy can be signed & the following demotions make us compliant.

I will try 1 more time, just because I like you.
The Canucks will have 16 forwards, 8 defense and 2 goalies, barring any surprises.
Assuming they stick with th 8 defense, 13 forwards, also knowing Roussel will be out for half a season, 2 players must go down, Schaller and Erickson are the 2 that provide the least of anything from this group.
Capeche?

I’m not sure if you’re agreeing with me or arguing with me. I agree, Hutton sucks. He did play top 4 for the Canucks, who sucked, he probably won’t be playing top 4 for the Canucks again (because they suck less).

$3m more when Roussel on LTIR

Depends how long he'll be out for.

I’d prefer 14/7/2 demote Schaller Biega & 1 of LE or Motte on how training camp & preseason goes.

It’s prorated & other injuries will happen. Depends on what Brock signs for to see what space is left.

So, you want them to have 22 man roster?

Oops Motte or LE after Roussel returns.

I could see TML picking up Motte from waivers.

Motte is a more useful player than Loui is, so is Biega.

Biega is garbage. Don’t think he’ll play many more nhl games

Erickson is garbage. Don’t think he’ll play many more nhl games

It’s all hypothetical but a players salary on LTIR still counts against the cap UNLESS the team is at the cap max of 81.5 million. Then they can go over to the maximum of his cap hit. But, if they set their 23 man roster on day one of the season and they’re under the cap, say 78 million, there is no cap relief.

The issue clearly resides with Loui. His comments were out of line and clearly if he lost trust of his coach it should tell him something.
Ex player Jamie Mclenan tore into him on television over his lack of effort.
Ferraro...".I've never seen a player less engaged than him"

That’s all you got? Dig deeper.
I admitted i was wrong & got ALL the facts.

Anyone can quote the cba.
Even a moron can do it.
An idiot doesn’t know what they don’t know.

So why can Roussel go on LTIR in the offseason & not count against the cap & not wait for day 1?
