Normally true but the e-draft is the next year. Be interesting to see how it all goes down.

10. What is Vancouver planning on the blue line? Derrick Pouliot out, Luke Schenn expected to get an extension. It’s possible only one of Alex Edler, Ben Hutton and/or Chris Tanev is back next season. The Canucks are going to investigate countless possibilities.

Works for me. I’d choose eddy on home town discount. Trade the other 2. Schenn on a cheap 2 year deal.

If we want change, got to do it. Sign another decent FA D.

See if anyone steps up in camp too.

Tanev for kapanen ? They need D and he’s on a good cap hit.

Can squeeze the Leafs harder than that imo
Cap problems to use against them.

Tanev for Kapanen/Horton/2nd

Yes and Vancouver is the only team that would have any interest in Kapanen so leafs have no choice but to make a poop deal.

I agree your team is bad enough without getting another anchor

No probs but nobody will be doing cap strapped teams any favours.

Good one.

I think teams would be okay with doing themselves a favour in getting a useful player in Kapanen, they’re not going to have to add to him to trade him.

I know, it was a smart comment. Keep up the good work.

OS him & it’s done

Fair enough, better then adding a 2nd to him to move him. Could see him getting an OS, should be interesting.

You forgot Horton was off the books.

Some team will OS Marner for 10.5 . TO will get 2x firsts a second and third. Their rebuild should be exciting again

That contract doesn’t even matter. Goes on LTIR at the start of the year and Leafs can go over the cap by 5.3 mil

Any OS the compensation is calculated of total $$$’s divided by 5 years if 6 or more.

Do you ever think for yourself or just the BS you read online?

Cap compliant for 1st game then he can go on LTIR

They have to be cap compliant by the first day of the regular season. Do you think for yourself or just believe what you read

Scenarios for Kapanen...

Signs an OS the Leafs get a 2nd
Gain Tanev & save cap for Horton but costs a 2nd.

Tanev would be better than gaining a 2nd.
More cap flexibility is gained.

No star will sign in Van. Literally 15 better cities to play for. Why do so many fanboys lack basic common sense ?
- CanuckDon

Van is a gorgeous city. State of franchise now yeah we will probably need to over pay a bit but its better than more beagles yuck. If I was 28 years old looking at our roster and where we kive amd the amount of tail in this town and you offered me say 10 mil as a panarin id strongly consider it.

Players coach poop gm but the rest is good. Ownership that spends team just needs to tuen the corner

It’s not a big deal. You can use LTIR in the summer too, the rules are a bit different but it’s not their biggest worry. They will have to move guys down to minors for opening day I think is how it works, then use the LTIR and bring them back up. Basically paperwork. I’m sure it would be easier if Horton wasn’t around, but it’s not enough for them to attach him to Kapanen to get rid of him.
