Math does not look good

Description
The math is not looking good for old Jimmy Benning

-Petey and Hughes both sign reasonable bridge deals which will come off the books the same time as Myers.

-Garland was 36th last year in 5v5 scoring on a black hole Yotes team. 3rd in league for penalties drawn. He's getting paid.

-Not sure on Dickenson's value, assume in the 1.8 to 2.8 M range is fair on a short term deal.

-No this does not take into affect a Holtby/Virtanen buyout/trade but even then the Canucks are barely under the cap with one of the worst cap-to-performance D cores of all time(maybe the worst?).

-Canucks didn't have a first or second in last years draft, and they only have one pick in the first 4 rounds this year (in other words limited help is coming).

-On the bright side that is one of the best top 9s in the league, and Demko is freak. Given that and the less than adequate Pacific division they probably make the playoffs.

Buying out Virtanen and trading Holtby and Schmidt instantly gives us a lot more cap room. The math works out fine for now.

Just have to hope someone wants either of those guys, I guess old Jimmy could just trade away some more picks lol

Schmidt would be a good addition to a team with cap. He is still a good player who had a down year on an awful Canucks team. Holtby will be harder to get rid of but it’s for one year which shouldn’t cost too much to lose…

Moving Ferland to the LTIR list frees up another $3.5M and I don't think Garland will get $6m.

Yep, old Jimmy still has a few tricks up his sleeve, excited to see what he can do. I've been very impressed with his tenure in Vancouver so far.

do you think Petterson and Hughes get the same contracts? Or was that for the sake of simplicity? Petterson seems way more valuable to me

For the point of simplicity, I agree I think Petterson should get more, it was more to just outline the awful situation old Jimmy has the Canucks in.
