Lets escape Cap Hell together

Description
I wanted to explore ways to escape cap hell without trading the players Vancouver has been to unable to trade, probably due to negative value (Louie Eriksson, Sven Baertschi) or that teams probably have no interest in at the moment (Ferland) . That part was actually easier than I thought: trade Myers and don’t resign Markstrom. From there I thought, why not try and fit in a winger for Horvat?

So many teams are near the cap, they just can't or won't make a trade where they are taking on a lot more cap, unless they can find considerable value in the player.

The Canucks dont need Taylor Hall. He comes at the price of blowing up the team.

Thought the same thing as signing Hall is a terrible UFA signing when team is going to need money to sign Pettersson and Hughes long-term. The trades are terrible for the Canucks in giving away Virtanen, Myers and Pearson.

I'd love to get rid of Myers but I just can't see it happening. Recently signed UFA who has an anchor of a contract.

I actually think Myers was a great defenceman signing by the Canucks and have to agree to disagree with you.

I think the Canucks are going to be fine with their cap situation, they have a bunch of guys expiring in a season or two which will free up a bunch of money.

Thanks for your feedback, everyone. I’m going to talk about it all here:

I agree the Canucks don’t need Hall. They do need to get better and it’s tough to see how they do that. Hall is the best player in free agency and one way to do that. Id say that’s a better use of salary than Myers and Virtanen or Ferland, who seem to be in the Canucks plans for the next several years.

I think Myers is slightly overpaid but probably has marginal value on the trade market. He’s an awful fit in Vancouver though (on the third pair right now and displaced by Hughes on the power play).

I actually think the trade I made is probably bad for LA though (who I bet are loving Kempe) so I’ll revise that.

That’s fine, I could live with that, but honestly, in what world have the Sabres shown they value Pilut? Everything they’ve done to this point suggests the opposite and I’d be frustrated if I was a Sabres fan.
