That's not the point, but yes, I'm certain there are other GM's that would sign him.

The point is, that the league and NHLPA wouldn't allow teams and players to terminate a contract as a means to getting out from a #cap space issue.

You can't sign a player for fifty cents

Exactly.

Is this going to be the summer of Loui talk?

It's a fantasy....
- belcherbd

Nevertheless, it’s a perfectly legal fantasy if you frame it right from a management perspective. If Benning says he just didn’t beat out our younger guys, so we sent him down, which is absolutely allowed under the CBA, but he won’t report......Canucks can terminate his contract.

In theory...a lot of buts and ifs though.

Hard to prove.

I don’t see Benning going down that route, he’s just not that type of guy. But it is perfectly legal to terminate if he won’t report. The guy has 80% of his money from his contract, he might just say (frank) it, I’m not reporting.

Amazing grasp of the obvious 👍

Patrick Berglund just quit hockey in December - contract terminated - left 12 million on the table, zero ramifications.

Jake Dotchin shows up for camp over weight - contract terminated, signs with the Ducks.

Plekanec, Streit, Addison all had mutual terminated contracts

Alex Burmistrov, mid season retirement - contract terminated.
- Brooks_Light

Only one of those players continued playing. You’re stupider than I thought if you believe the NHL or PA would allow the Canucks to get out from Lui’s contract so he could sign another (cheaper) one some place else.

How many of those signed a new contract with another team in the NHL afterwards?

In the same year.

Yes that one is more legitimate. I'm still not sure a player has ever been terminated for failing to report and then signing a new deal.

Exactly.

Is this going to be the summer of Loui talk?

(frank) loui, like I said he will be moved for a high cost but it will still be worth it IMO.

i'd ship him out with Goldy and retain salary.
2 birds, one stone.

We got too many forwards as it is.

Didn't the teams have to vote to let Kovalchuk back into the league?

Exactly.

Are your mom and dad brother and sister?

At least I hope Benning has learned not to sign contracts like Loui's again.

Ballard & Wirtz woulda tried...

Id have no problem with shipping Jake and a pick with Loui to get rid of him

Chances are we just suck it up til Loui stubs his toe & goes on LTIR

One - Dotchin, however the point is/was players/teams terminate contracts for a numbers of reasons and situations - i just gave a bunch of examples.

Originally Nuckup said "Non reporting is a procedure to how contracts can be voided. It's not common but has happened in the past for violations."

you're the dumb fawk that somehow interpreted that as Loui terminating the contract and signing a cheaper one...??? and i'm stupid for proving you wrong...

Point is, there's a number of examples/reasons for teams/players to terminate contracts, pull your thick head out of your a$$ and you'll realize that.

Yes that one is more legitimate. I'm still not sure a player has ever been terminated for failing to report and then signing a new deal.
- belcherbd

Not only did Dotchin get terminated for being a fat fawk, but he signed a new cheaper deal with the Ducks weeks later

Exactly.

I hope not . Canucks have done a lot of good things this year. I think the team might actually be watchable
