How is Vancouver going to make the cap work taking on Marner's full load and having to pay both Pettersson and Hughes?

The same way the Leafs do paying both Matthews and Tavares? 🤷‍♂️

Maybe they can hire someone to tamper with Eriksson's brakes?

Not a chance. Marner is too expensive despite how good he is, and we’re not about to give up Thatcher Demko for anything.

Even if Kerfoot was thrown in?

VAN decline, they don't have the cap space

I don't think people are giving enough thought to cutting Eriksson's brakes ...

Except they can't because they are already paying their depth too much.

Hmmm ... only allowed one trade per year are they?

So your thought is that they will make this trade that will require them to gut their depth, or in Vancouver's case possibly trade extra to dump Eriksson's contract, before they are cap compliant?

Yeah, that was my thought.

No, my thought is it's 1:00 AM, I can't sleep so I'll screw around on here for kicks. The fact that someone that spends their days on here is taking this so seriously is just added fun.

Yes even if Kerfoot is thrown in. We don’t have a 1G. That’s $14 million in cap right there. That money is gonna go to Petey and Hughes.

Well, can't blame me for trying.
