Thread: Maybe we just need some smaller changes
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SGB88</b></div><div>This leaves lots of space to resign and build a roster trust me. I've these done enough to know. <strong>You missed that there's 5m in retention this year 3 from Myres and 2 from Beau for the Canucks to use. You're math is about 5m short.</strong>

They've got 32.15m next year (this includes OEL and 4m salary cap increase)
Petty 11.5m Hronek 6.5m Three extra non-starting players forwards plus two bottom two wingers (call it 5m to be very conservative) 5m

This leaves 9.15m for two D and a backup. Personally, I think the Canucks use an internal player as backup so Silvo or Tolopilo. That would be about 1m depending on who exactly. Otherwise, could be 2m for backup. That leaves either 7 or 8m for two top 4 D. I'm hoping they can get Tanev for around 3.25mx2 with a pseudo hometown discount. But either way, you've got 3.5m to 4m per player. That should be enough to get it done.</div></div>

Ah, yeah missed that, good point. If going in on JPG is the move, then adding a pick for a little bit of retention would still make me feel better if it's possible. Also, Tanev played his last Canucks hockey at 30yo, getting him at 34, even with a discount, could backfire if the plan is to pair him with Hughes. However, I'd be all for putting him on the 3rd pair with Hirose to help the rookies settle in.

Thread: Contract swaps
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BigShoots</b></div><div>The only selling point you'd have on an OEL trade is that if you retained he might be worth 4-5 mil to some team as their 4-5 dman if he had a bounce back yr. The longer you wait on that the less likely that could happen. As a pure and known cap dump of 7.8 mil it would cost like 3 1sts to move him.</div></div>

Three 1st's is an absurd price, it won't hit that.
Andrew Ladd 35yo 2x5.5mil (2nd, 2nd, 3rd)
Patrick Marleau 39yo 1x6.25 (buyout) (1st rd pick)
Mark Staal 33yo 1x5.7 (2nd rd pick)

OEL 31yo 4x7.2

In a couple of years OEL will be 33 with 2x7.2 left. At that point, with the Canucks wanting (trying) to contend, it won't be much to send a 1st and a prospect like Raty away to make room. Even less with ~1m retention if necessary.
Currently, moving Boeser and/or Garland while Myers expires in a year is more than enough room to sign everyone they need.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>nucksfan40</b></div><div>dont know how to feel about this one. nuck fans help me out</div></div>

This might be an unpopular opinion with Canucks fans but I don't think it's necessary to deal OEL yet unless it's a CLEAR and easy win for the Canucks. As I see it, every year that passes makes it easier to deal or buyout OEL. I don't believe any current options the Canucks have to fill his spot are <strong><em>better enough</em></strong> to offset the cost of what it would take to deal him.

Ie. is it worth trading away Raty and a pick just to have Breisbois replace him? Not yet imo. This conversation shifts year to year depending on cap space and the resigning of players like Petey, Hronek, Podz, Hog,, etc. but seeing as there's still a year from that happening I say keep him playing 3rd pair minutes and pray that he plays at or above replacement level until their hand is forced in dealing him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BluesTheGreats</b></div><div>Not even a bad trade, don’t the Canucks need defence lmao</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Datsyukian13</b></div><div>This is a pretty equitable trade.

Vancouver gets a good, young RFA and they keep their 1st.

Red Wings lose a good young, RFA but get an additional 1st this year (or next) that they can use or flip for another asset.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy739</b></div><div>Not really

You got the pieces that matter
Now build on those

Just no more Eriksson ,Beagel,Rousell, Boeser,Garland,Ferland,Pearson and Myers deals and youll be fine
Thats where you guys get in trouble as your GMs have all left eachother mess's to clean up first</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gordfish</b></div><div>So it's Horvat and a 2nd for Beauvillier, Hronek, Raty and a 3rd.

I see Raty as a really good 3rd line centre, so...solid. Not spectacular, but solid.

I understand the poster's frustration, but they said all along they weren't rebuilding. They are looking for players that fit the age group with Petey, Hughes and Demko. Hronek does that, and FINALLY upgrades the right side of the blueline.

Given the latest rankings I've seen, even if they do rise up in the draft a bit, they'll still have a shot at Yager or Moore.

Outside of the Horvat trade tree, I'm not all that impressed with Alvin's trades so far, but let's see what he does by Friday.</div></div>

On a side note: The Canucks are ALREADY OVER THE CAP FOR NEXT SEASON. With Miller and Kuzmenko's extensions kicking in they have 83.6m committed.
