Thread: (ARI/VAN) - Ekman-Larsson, Garland for Beagle, Eriksson, Roussel, 1st, 2nd, 7th
Arizona takes on $12 million in cap for 1 year. They also save $42 million in cap over 6 years. After Garland signs, this year’s cap hits should probably balance out.

Short-term I like this deal for the Canucks. The problem is, it’s bad long-term, this really hurts their cup chances at any point in the future. This is a loss for the Canucks, because they aren’t a contender this season. This is almost certainly a move made because Jim Benning is trying to keep his job. Either that or he’s just incompetent.

This is an absolute win for the Yotes. OEL is good just to get off the books, no matter the return. The cap dumps are just one year, so they’re clearing a bunch of cap space in subsequent years. And Garland for 9th overall & a 2nd is a win for Arizona.

Thread: Vancouver Canucks signed Tanner Pearson (3 Years / $3,250,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wqrrior</b></div><div>People like to laugh at Benning before all else.

<strong>Lets counter some arguments:</strong>

- they kept pearson but not toffoli: yes. We have room next year. There was no room last year.

- now there's no cap for the big RFAs: benning has proven that he is very good at dealing with RFAs, assuming 7x3 for both players, there's still plenty of cap to work with. More if Loui is bought out and Beagle rides LTIR (his injury seems bad)

- pearson isn't worth this money in this market: Probably not, but how much of an overpay is it? A quarter million? He was a huge asset for the team last year and has taken a step back like everyone else. His impact on improving Horvat's game is alone worth it. This is a locker room guy to the same extent as Tanev or Markstrom.


tldr: this is a bit more money than I was wanting, but not to the level of laughing at. even if he plays the 3rd line, he's the first player we have had in that role that looks like a decent bottom sixer in some time. Good signing? Nah.... but it ain't a bad one either.</div></div>


<strong>Lets counter your counter arguments as well:</strong>


<strong>OG</strong> - Why keep Pearson but not Toffoli? <strong>(Correct)</strong>.
<strong>YOU</strong> - We have room next year. There was no room last year <strong>(Wrong)</strong>.
<strong>FACTS</strong> - They had room for Schmidt ($6,000,000) + Holtby ($4,300,000) + Virtanen ($2,600,000).

<strong>OG</strong> - Pearson isn't worth this money in this market <strong>(Correct)</strong>.
<strong>YOU</strong> - Probably not <strong>(Good start ... should've stopped there)</strong>.
<strong>FACTS</strong> - And he's especially not worth it for an extremely cap-crunched team with their 2 best players unsigned.

<strong>OG</strong> - Now there's no cap for the big RFAs <strong>(Correct)</strong>.
<strong>YOU</strong> - Benning has proven that he is very good at dealing with RFAs <strong>(Wrong)</strong>.
<strong>FACTS</strong> - Virtanen was just overpaid + Demko's cap-hit is 2-4 times larger than every comparable (and all had a higher career SV%).

$5,000,000 x 5 years (age 25) | after 60 NHL games | career 0.911 SV% | <strong>Thatcher Demko</strong>

<strong>TLDR</strong> - Get wrecked by the facts son.
