Honestly, this deal looks better and better when you factor in that not only with COVID-19 restrictions making it likely that the Canucks would play in a Canadian team only division AND the fact that riots no matter WHO wins the US election are going to destroy the major cities it's highly likely the NHL might not even have a season this year. Even if they end up rolling contracts over a year because of not having been able to play, the cap would have to drop significantly, leading to probably compliance buy-outs giving JB a chance to fix the roster and his own mistakes with a full year and no expectations to do so.

So we're hoping for riots? if I knew it would only take riots to get rid of LE I would of been smashing windows every time I was in Van.

Laine is going to get huge money on his next contract. No thanks – don't want to turn into Toronto.

You really don't think an astute GM could have made that work? Give me a break. The guy wanted to be here.

For months you've been going on about signing TT. Now he left you are so sore you've been in full troll mode. You realize it was all about term. Flat cap has changed the calculations. They will have a young core they need to take care of later so they can't commit to term under flat cap. It is what it is as much as we liked TT for now he's not the future.

No I don’t think they could. Unless they wanted to neglect the Defense and spend the cap on a winger which would be moronic

Ah, yes, my plans of signing EP and QH to bridge deals. The problem is, you'd be signing EP, QH, and Laine at the same time. And Laine is coming off a 7.5 mil base this year. So, sure, you sign those three guys for around 25 million, see how much room there is to add around them.

Boeser and LE gone opens 12m in cap next season, is Laine that much better then Boeser... probably.

.@patersonjeff: In my world, Loui Eriksson has to be buried in the minors. I think they have to be done with that. They can't keep coming back, for a 5th year of this deal, and pretend it's fine. I think it's time to move on, even if there aren't massive cap savings.

Sure, we all know it, but Canucks ownership and management need to be shamed into it....#fanpressure
