Team: 2020-21 Vancouver Canucks

Initial Creation Date: May 9, 2020

Published: Jun. 30, 2020

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

RESTRICTIONS
Minimum $1.7m cap space to cover Pettersson and Hughes bonuses
Resign 2 of Markstrom, Tanev, Toffoli
No CBOs / Mutual terminations

Trade for Caleb Jones - While Virtanen has improved over the past 2 years, we should trade him now while his value is increasing for a young dman. Tough to trade him to a division rival, but Jones projects to become a top 4 dman and is dirt cheap for 2 seasons. Provides EDM an opportunity to turn a potential dman exposed in Expansion Draft into a fwd.

Trade for Erik Cernak - Similar structure to the JT Miller trade. TB is in a cap crunch so they most likely do not want players back. Steep but fair price. Opportunity to play with Hughes, potential to be long term D partners.

Trade for Ryan Kesler - Eriksson is owed $5m in cash over 2 years after $3m signing bonus is paid. Kesler is owed $13.35m cash over 2 years. With Kesler injured indefinitely, insurance will cover 80% owed, leaving the team to cover 20%, or $2.67m. VAN retains 50% of Eriksson's contract, leaving each team to pay $2.5m in cash over 2 years. By trading Kesler, ANA saves $170k in cash and gains a player who can suit up and contribute. 4th rd pick added as sweetener for taking on $3m in cap. VAN pays $2.67m to Kesler + $2.5m to Eriksson = $5.17m cash and saves $3m in cap space for 2 years.

$25.8m in cap space for the following season. Pettersson and Hughes will probably be signed to bridge deals because of flat cap.

Quoting: ahdede

2020-21 Salary remaining = 1M Retained @ 50% = 500k
2021-22 Salary remaining = 4M Retained @ 50% = 2M
Total retained = 500k + 2M = 2.5M

You know, I think that you may be right and I may be wrong.
