Thread: Just need one move
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BStinson</b></div><div>You have this in your trade description, “ Retires and hired back as scout in Sweden for remaining 5mil”. This would be literally compensated for retiring. Assuming I’m reading this and the description right the Vancouver FO would approach Eriksson about riding the bus or just retiring and collecting the same actual dollars owed to be a “scout” a few times a year. Sounds pretty fishy to me but it would be hard to prove this hand shake deal was in place to rid his cap hit for 2 years. I’m not sure if or how much without looking at the contract but there might be cap recapture penalties.</div></div>
Yes that’s exactly what I’m saying and he would be employed as something in the FO. It’s the same thing Luongo did for Florida, just a little less cash involved. About 1mil per for three years. If down the road there’s a penalty then so be it.

Thread: Just need one move
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BStinson</b></div><div>Do you still get compensated when you voluntary retire and not LTIR the rest of your contract? That would be new to me. NHL scouts I’d wager don’t make 2.5M a year and this would probably be cap circumvention (I think I even used this exact scenario in an example a few days ago). Just did a quick google search, scouts make approximately 40-70k full time or 20k part time.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Canucks33</b></div><div>Finally, someone else who included the bonuses overages.

Eriksson doing anything to walk away from his contract is really optimistic and unrealistic. We'd probably move Sutter and then not sign one of the UFAs. I've been saying this for a long time, but I would rather keep Tanev/Markstrom over Toffoli easily and he should be the one that walks.</div></div>
I think there’s no way he’s on the roster next year or even invited to training camp. You think him retiring and still get paid by the organization is worse then playing the next 2 years down in Utica? Because in Utica the Canucks still pay his salary but at least get 1075000 cap relief. That’d be the end of his nhl career. This could be a opportunity for the next chapter in his life.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Robby</b></div><div>I don’t see him riding the bus in Utica and I’m sure we could pull a Luongo and he could retire and then we can hire him in a made up scouting role in Sweden. Just my opinion he’s not in the lineup next year.</div></div>

Also it’s 4 mil after July 1 bonus! Oops you’re right
