Thread: Only Eichel Deal i think BG considers
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RoyalBlueSabres</b></div><div>I would argue Leon piggybacks on McDavid. But different argument for a different day.

At worst case he is 7th best. But younger than everyone on that list.

I would think that when a deal is close then that team would have access to records and physical.
This neck thing I believe has been blown out of proportion as it seems like more of a powerplay to get out of Buffalo than an actual lingering issue.</div></div>

I would like to think that as well, but if nobody has seen the medical records yet then that means Buffs ask is way too high. Buff also needs to consider that his NTC (Might be a full NTC/NMC or a 10 team I can’t remember) kicks in after this year which further complicates things. I think that yes Eichels true value is higher, but teams can see the situation and want to make the best deal for themselves.

Thread: Only Eichel Deal i think BG considers
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RoyalBlueSabres</b></div><div>Min is way too high on Fiala. He is a good top 6 winger. Literally every team has a Fiala.

Very few teams have an eichel.

The dude is a top 5 Center. Young. And under contract.
There is no scenario where Eichel is traded for anything less than a kings ransom.
Any playoff team that acquires him is going to be an instant contender. Of course at the price of the prospect cupboard and picks.</div></div>

“Every team has a fiala” that is very debatable, Fiala is a game breaker who’s played with bad line mates the last 2 years and has still produced.
Eichel is not a top 5 center, McDavid, Leon, Crosby, Mackinnon, Matthews are better. I would say Barkov is better as well. So he’s the 7th best center in the league, with a major neck injury, who’s team wants a king ransom for him but yet refuses to give anybody access to his medical records. Again Gurein and any other smart GM isn’t going to trade the world for Eichel without getting a look at his medical records. Until BUF allows that this trade is probably the best they will get.

Thread: Petterson offer sheet P2
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Juiceman</b></div><div>Canucks have 1 week to match the offer which is plenty of time to get business done. Virtanen is pretty much guaranteed not gonna be playing for Vancouver next year and Holtby is most likely gone as well. Schmidt isn’t even a complete cap dump and he would actually give us a return like a third round pick. Eriksson and Roussel don’t have to be moved but they can or they can just be buried in the minors. They are only in a bad spot this year, after next year when all of the bad contracts expire, we will have a lot of cap space.</div></div>

1 week to match the offer, but you can’t buy anybody out after the 27th, so buy outs need to have happened before the offer sheet was accepted, or even offered. Van traded a 3rd for Schmidt last year, he put up half the points this year and was worse on D, I doubt they get a 3rd back this year. Maybe a 5th, and in the flat cap summer that’s pushing it. Burying Erickson and Rousell would save about 4 million max? I’m just saying any offer sheet like this would put the Canucks behind the 8 ball.

Thread: Petterson offer sheet P2
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Juiceman</b></div><div>We ain’t giving you our 9OA to dump Eriksson. I’ve heard that Detroit would be willing to take him on and send back their 22OA so they can move up 13 spots for one year of a cap dump. Try again bud</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Juiceman</b></div><div>lol imagine having the audacity to offer sheet Pettersson for not even the max amount of compensation range. You know how easily Canuck can shed millions of dollars? Virtanen and Holtby buyout saves 6.5 million dollars. Burying Roussel and Eriksson saves 3 million dollars. You’re right Beagle will be off of LTIR but Ferland will probably never play a game again. If we decide to dump Eriksson and Roussel, the cost would probably be a few draft picks. That is the last resort but the canucks can easily move money in other ways.</div></div>

2 things:
1.They would need to Buy out Virtanen and Holtby before FA opens on July 28th
2. Im talking next years first round pick in order to get rid of Eriksson/Rousell/Schmidt if they were to match the Petterson offer sheet because it would happen after the draft.

The Canucks matching the offer sheet would leave them in a bad spot, unless they were to make these moves before FA.

Thread: Buy Outs Coming Back To Haunt Ze Wild
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mnwild17</b></div><div>People are forgetting the NHL just tripled their Annual TV revenue starting next year. By the time the big cap hits come the Cap will be minimum of 85 million and that’s a very conservative estimate. To get an 85 million cap, each team needs to bring in 65 Million in revenue from ticket sales etc. Assume full stadiums, and an average ticket cost of $80 (which is a low estimate) there’s 60 million in gate revenue.... need to make up the other 5 in concessions is easy. Now not every team will have a sell out, but the cap is going up.</div></div>

And that is just me making estimates, billy G I’m sure has a pulse on the revenue and the expected cap, he wouldn’t have made this decision if he wasn’t sure the cap would go up.
