Thread: Play_off2 or 8ust
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Reubenkincade</b></div><div>I think th NHLPA was concerned about this at the beginning of the season. I think they negotiate the escrow payment down to 50% and take the increase cap of 3 million for this season.
The owners may just say to hell with it and get rid of whatever is owed, allowing for that 5 million you mentioned.
If that were to happen, they have to address OEL, 1 way or another, without a doubt.
I am unsure what this management group thinks, so maybe they just hold onto OEL and think he is the guy needed for next seasons playoff push.
Like most Canucks fans, I am tired of old and slow mistake prone defensemen like OEL and would much rather see someone like Brisebois, or whoever, get a real opportunity. If nothing else,Brisebois has put in his time in the organization, being a good pro.</div></div>

Bries does deserve a real shot and the good thing he is on a one way contract. I am sure if he was sent down he would be picked up on waivers. He will be somewhere of the six to eight placing. Juuls should be there also at the bottom. Minivan mentioned the name Graves. He would be a good add.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Reubenkincade</b></div><div>Agreed.
I would still like them to clear out at least 1 of Garland and/or Boeser.
Needless to say OEL is a definite concern.

I see CBJ just signed a CHL free agent, hopefully the Canucks can take advantage of that root also, especially with someone with size, like the Columbus guy.</div></div>
This is where I am at right now, Myers after the bonus only cost the Canucks 1 mil so I don't see them moving him and bringing in another five mil Dman. His paly has improved under the new D coach.

OEL is a whole different situation that he needs to be replaced. Place him on LTIR and bring in a new LHD that can handle big minutes. I Like the Canucks forwards and don't think there is a problem scoring so I would leave that alone for now,
