VAN matches, honestly he probably doesn't even sign that. He's probably looking at 8 years.

Matt dumba isn't getting traded
Mats Zuccarello isn't waiving

It's bizarre how some want wild to get rid of Dumba

If Van matches they would be in Cap Hell. They would be left with 5 million in cap space this year with only 16 players signed. They also have 6.5M on LTIR not counting against their cap at the moment so they would be essentially over the cap, unless those are injuries that will keep those guys out next year as well. Either way they would either have negative cap space, or 5m in cap with a min of 5 players to sign still. Also, a 5 year offersheet for Petterson would mean hes a UFA at 27/28 I think he would do that over being a UFA at 30

Zucc NMC goes to a 10 team NTC next year, Dumba would need to be moved assuming Addision or Menell are able to give 85% of his production, just not enough money in the flat cap world to keep him. If it takes us moving Dumba after this year to sign Petterson I do it 10/10

This is next year. Dumba would be a pending UFA and the cap tightens, so he may be a necessary casualty depending on other moves made.

Okay thank you

uh huh.
They match

If they Match than GMBG should turn right around and ask for their first round pick next year for us to take Eriksson.

VAN will deal with that. It's only 1 year. It's not worth a high pick.

lol imagine having the audacity to offer sheet Pettersson for not even the max amount of compensation range. You know how easily Canuck can shed millions of dollars? Virtanen and Holtby buyout saves 6.5 million dollars. Burying Roussel and Eriksson saves 3 million dollars. You’re right Beagle will be off of LTIR but Ferland will probably never play a game again. If we decide to dump Eriksson and Roussel, the cost would probably be a few draft picks. That is the last resort but the canucks can easily move money in other ways.

We ain’t giving you our 9OA to dump Eriksson. I’ve heard that Detroit would be willing to take him on and send back their 22OA so they can move up 13 spots for one year of a cap dump. Try again bud

If their roster stays as is once FA opens, I don't know how VAN would "Deal with it" since they will have 5m in cap space for 5 spots. They would have to unload either Schmidt or Eriksson contract, and if they were to match before doing that the entire league would see that they couldn't field a cap compliant team outside of signing 5 guys to 1M deals/need ELC guys to fill those spots. At that point they are cornered cap wise, and would need to give up significant assets to offload either of those deals.

2 things:
1.They would need to Buy out Virtanen and Holtby before FA opens on July 28th
2. Im talking next years first round pick in order to get rid of Eriksson/Rousell/Schmidt if they were to match the Petterson offer sheet because it would happen after the draft.

The Canucks matching the offer sheet would leave them in a bad spot, unless they were to make these moves before FA.

Canucks have 1 week to match the offer which is plenty of time to get business done. Virtanen is pretty much guaranteed not gonna be playing for Vancouver next year and Holtby is most likely gone as well. Schmidt isn’t even a complete cap dump and he would actually give us a return like a third round pick. Eriksson and Roussel don’t have to be moved but they can or they can just be buried in the minors. They are only in a bad spot this year, after next year when all of the bad contracts expire, we will have a lot of cap space.

5 million for 5 spots.....
it's a broken record.

1 week to match the offer, but you can’t buy anybody out after the 27th, so buy outs need to have happened before the offer sheet was accepted, or even offered. Van traded a 3rd for Schmidt last year, he put up half the points this year and was worse on D, I doubt they get a 3rd back this year. Maybe a 5th, and in the flat cap summer that’s pushing it. Burying Erickson and Rousell would save about 4 million max? I’m just saying any offer sheet like this would put the Canucks behind the 8 ball.
