Benning said this offseason that they had different cap scenarios all planned out, and it seems so far they have it managed. I hope after LE gets his next bonus he gets traded or goes on LTIR.

Don't want them to go after any more high priced UFAs. They'll have to pay Petey then Hughes, and don't want to tie up some long-term contracts that will diminish before they're ready to truly compete.

When Petey and Hughes come off so does

Edler 6.0
Sutter 4.3
Pearson 3.75
Sven 3.36

That is close to 17 mil .
Yes those players need to be replaced and that is where you hope guys like OJ and Gaudette will be playing full time. Other prospects like Madden Rafferty Hoglander and Pod K are ready .

Every team goes through it.

A lot of GMs this year have bent the integrity of the cap rules( I have to word it like this for Marwood Blart) using the LTIR as extra cap. Canucks over the 30 games have had at least one player over 3 mil on LTIR.

Pearson will still be here. Replace it with Tanev.

#Shambles for Pearson haters.

Was that before or after he said that Luongo's re-capture caught them off guard?
- Marwood

Ferland was signed after the Luongo recapture . It couldn't have been that much of a concern.

Pearsons contract ends the same time as Petterssons does

Maybe they planned on adding more than Ferland.

They spent 36 million last year , at some point you need to say I'm done

So what are we arguing about this morning?

I can’t believe how much better Buffalo is with new coaching. That Eichel kid is one of the best centers in the league. If we had a good coach think how much better we’d be

Benning still sucks but that’s another comment below.

You make it sound so easy

I can't see Jake and Josh taking 300K raises only.

Sutter and Loui to the minors would allow about 10 million in cap space. Upon further review. Even allowing raises to Virtanen and leaving to jump to 700K and Gaudette at 1.3

Man, I've got to be missing something that the Canucks could have 10 million in cap space with only 3 spots available. Which would probably be entry levels. So 6 million when all said and done.

One of Jake or Josh will be gone. Maybe both. Erikkson contract makes things tough. Were definately losing a goalie I would think to Seattle if we we sign Marky. Demko is going to be good I think but hes crazy over rated by canuck fans at the moment. He reminds me of Dan Cloutier. Can steal games but also self destructs

I think the Colorado Avalanche are going to get Taylor Hall, they’ve got the assets and the cab space to pull it off. They are going to be scary good in the playoffs.

Colorado might be the only team capable thanks to the cap.

Nothing yet. Vantel and I are having a conversation and most seem happy after an entertaining game.

Kassian makes 1.95 and he brings a lot more than Jake. His numbers are better and he has more points. He is playing with McD but Jake has had his shot with Petey and was not good enough. 1.5 is right about where he should be.

Lievo is a third line player who has yet to hit 15 goals or 20 pts. How much do you think he is worth?

I think Leivo gets traded by deadline. Same with Stetcher. Rafferty will get games when a rhd goes down and will sgow he can replace him.

I think Ferland on the fourth line is a waste of cap and talent. I hope they put him there just for a game or two seeing he is just coming back from injury.

If Green just wanted a banger fighter they could have signed Vinny Arsenault a lot cheaper.

OJ and Rafferty should both get games this year unless they are injured again. I think we would have seen OJ if he was not hurt. Timing is everything.
