Thread: 2 Years Out
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>krms33</b></div><div>you forgot to protect hughes. as he will have finished his 2nd nhl season(and will have burned the 3rd year of ELC) he will have to be protected. so I would say that stetcher is left unprotected</div></div>

He doesnt need to be protected as he played less than 10 games in the first year of his contract.


<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BurgerBoss</b></div><div>Honestly can't see OTT taking Eriksson without any kind of compensation even if it is for the last year of his contract. Especially since at that point they've re-signed some of their young assets, making it uncertain whether they even need assets to get closer the cap minimum.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>Ottawa set the model this year...and I think infuriated the whole league, with how to get to the salary floor. It's all covered by insurance.</div></div>

The trade doesnt have to be with Ottawa, there will be other teams looking to add cap and it wouldnt cost much to move his contract at that point.Maybe a 3rd or B prospect. If not he gets bought out. This deal doesnt need to be with Ottawa I just used them as they are the most relevant example.

Thread: The Ideal Brock Contract
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Canucks33</b></div><div>I'd prefer to just go 8 years honestly. At most it would cost an extra 1 million per year cap hit, but it would save us money down the line when we are (hopefully) actually good. Also we don't have to worry about re-signing Boeser right after re-signing Pettersson and Hughes.

Something like 7.65 x 8 would be great in my books.</div></div>

It sure would look great if they can swing it, but that doesn't look like middle ground to me from Brocks perspective. Im sure this is whats holding up the deal, he knows if he waits he can get a bigger long term deal in a few years so he wont sign the long term deals he is being offered. Because of that he is being low balled on the bridge deal as the Canucks know its what he wants. Whatever the case I hope Benning wins lol.

Thread: Opinions on Hutton
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CN10</b></div><div>I'm not really sure why Vancouver let him leave outside of that he would have been a slightly expensive #5/#4D. He's not too much worse than Lindell at denying entry and can actually move the puck up the ice (<a href="https://public.tableau.com/shared/XRWNXD265?:display_count=yes&amp;:origin=viz_share_link" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Lindell v. Hutton</a>). One just signed a massive $5.8M AAV, and the other will sign a show me deal with some very happy team for about $1.5M. I think he'd be good on the Flames to cover for the Valimaki injury, but they likely can't afford to pay him much more than the league minimum which I think he is worth more than.</div></div>

Hutty Is soft, known for poor conditioning and losing puck battles. Take a look across the board at the minuses on last years team. Edler +3, Tanev +3, Stecher +9, Biega 0, Rest of our dmen around -3 then we had Hutton and Guddy at -23 playing easier minutes for the most part all year. Hutton can skate and make a good first pass but certainly was not worth the qualifying offer. Kind of hope the Flames sign him so we can burn him all year.
