WE CAN FIX THE CAP ISSUE

Created by: Norris_Seider
Team: 2020-21 Vancouver Canucks
Initial Creation Date: Jan. 30, 2021
Published: Jan. 30, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
THE GOOD NEWS: We have the assets to pull this off. It’s nothing radical and all of these deals are with rebuilding teams. This is a Cup contender. Plus, we can easily afford Pettersson, Demko, Hughes, Savard and Sutter (who will make $3 million less) and maybe even Pearson depending on if the cap goes up.
Boeser would be easily affordable next season when Holtby, Roussel and Beagle are off.
Long term outlook is absolutely fantastic assuming we’re careful in free agency.

THE BAD NEWS: Jim Benning won’t do it. This is like wishing to grow a third arm overnight.
Even still, the left side of the defence is iffy. Is Hughes ready for the top pair? Can Edler keep up? If we move Schmidt over to the left side, can Stecher/Rafferty play a top 4 role on the right?
We’re still probably losing a depth piece or two here. Every rose has it’s thorn.

POWER PLAY: I’d like to go with the 1-3-1 power play. Basically the shape of a plus-sign in the offensive zone. This is Washington’s power play, which works extremely well for creating multiple scoring opportunities and almost guarantees either a shot or an open man
PP1: Miller (net front), Boeser (left wing), Horvat (center/face off), Pettersson (right wing), Hughes (point)
PP2: Sutter (net front/face off), Ryan (left wing), Pearson (center), Hoglander (right wing), Schmidt (point)
Trades
1.
VAN
  1. Stepan, Derek
Additional Details:
A soul for a soul.
Stepan also has a bad contract however it expires this season - Eriksson has another year. Ottawa is going to do nothing with that cap space.
That being said, Stepan could slot in as the 3rd line center that we need, and would give us depth and a veteran presence.
Unlikely he stays past this season with us though.
OTT
  1. Eriksson, Loui
  2. 2021 3rd round pick (VAN)
2.
VAN
  1. Ryan, Bobby
  2. Stecher, Troy
Additional Details:
For cap reasons Myers NEEDS to go.
Stecher was my favourite Canuck so out of bias I’m bringing him back and bringing Bobby Ryan as a rental along with him.
Myers can munch minutes for the Red Wings and take 8 penalties a game as they rebuild. Like Ottawa, they have cap space that they’re not going to need to use.
Plus, Detroit has a wad of 3rd pair slow defence men and power play specialists who do nothing defensively. At least Myers can play top minutes even if he doesn’t do it well at all.
DET
  1. Myers, Tyler
  2. 2021 1st round pick (VAN)
3.
VAN
  1. Savard, David
Additional Details:
I don’t even know that Virtanen or Juolevi’s value is....
Blue Jackets GM Jarmo Kekalainen seems to really like Finnish players (Juolevi) and since they’re tearing down and rebuilding (or so it appears), maybe it makes sense?
As for the Canucks, David Savard is basically Chris Tanev but younger, healthier and even better. He is a must re-sign and I’d only execute this trade if there is a corresponding contract extension lined up. Savard is an elite defensive defence man and would be PERFECT with Quinn Hughes. Savard can eat big minutes too. He’d be a perfect fit.... please Jim Benning PLEASE GET DAVID SAVARD
CBJ
  1. Juolevi, Olli
  2. Virtanen, Jake
  3. 2023 2nd round pick (VAN)

Stepan is a more useful player is cheaper and only has this season left. Eriksson has 2 years left. Ottawa is going to want more than just a 3rd. As a Red Wings fan I don't wanna touch that Myers contract not even for a 1st! The Columbus trade might be fair idk enough about the value of Savard.

Fair enough haha I figured I was off value wise. I probably underpaid the Savard deal too lol

Ottawa declines, easily.

Stepan is not as good as he once was, but he’s only 30, and better than 35 year old Eriksson, by a lot. Stepan can still play bottom6 centre..

Stepan has a cap hit of $6.5MM, which is irrelevant to Ottawa, but is only owed $2MM in salary. Eriksson is owed $5MM and the Senators have to waste a roster spot on him an extra season.

Ottawa isn’t going to pay $3MM extra in cash, and waste a roster spot for an entire season next year, for a 3rd.

I’d wager with the way Ryan’s been playing he’d fetch a second rounder at the TDL. I’d like to see Stetcher a bit more and Myer’s contract is awful so it would require a bit more than a first rounder unless that’s a higher pick.

So you want David Savard - a guy we want to keep - and to get him you offer us a reclamation project LD - when we're massively overstrength at LD at every level - and a reclamation project RW - when we're massively overstrength at RW at every level.

Not just no, hell no.

Heck no, We're not dealing Stecher after giving him a 2 year deal, Doubt Vancouver even makes the playoffs so Ryan isn't happening either.

Also, Myers is a RHD which we already have too many of in the pipeline.
