Canucks are the only team that it matters about, yes.

The only team that I cheer for that has cap issues.

It's ok, other GM's do it.

The fans are going to be disappointed when Seattle takes Zacmac in the expansion draft and not one of the 6 million dollar defensemen or the 4.3 million dollar goalie.

Best move would be to expose Jake.

I don't disagree, if he is still here.
Seattle only has to take on about 49 million of salary though. So if they aren't getting some big sweeteners, I don't see them being willing to take a big cap hit from teams.

Vegas got paid handsomely for taking on a few contracts and for not taking certain players, I expect Seattle to employ the same tactics.

Clearly he doesn't have any value, he's not a good fit on the team.

Seattle will go deeper in the playoffs next year than VAN.

Best move would be to trade Jake, and then package MacEwen/Lind/Gaudette or someone for a younger D.

Don't see teams doing that to the same extent as they did with Vegas. A lot of those teams got burned in those trades. GMs took notes

Sure, I would expect them to try that as well, but the world has changed since that expansion draft.
Will Seattle want to be maintaining a high cap in the next couple years, when no one knows when arenas can be at full capacity.
How many teams will want to part with good young players/prospects/picks when they are also trying to rebuild/get better in a league that is getting faster.

I would bet a team like Anaheim, who gave away Theodore, would like to have that deal back, same as Florida, etc.
It will be interesting to see Seattles strategy.

I would not spend 4 mil on Edler . If I am going to spend that range I would look Oleksiak or a younger player. Ian Cole for less also .

You do have a chance to clean up bad contracts this year.

If you put Loui in Utica and replace him with Pods you save money. Same as replacing Roussel with Lind you save cap. If the GM has the balls you can clean up Beagle Roussel Loui Ferland and Jake and rebuild your back 6.

Did you know, in 43% of Canucks games(9) they have scored 2 goals or less. The bottom 6 is not the only problem here.

Also, did you know that 39% of Canucks goals have come from players not in the top 6.

The Canucks are currently in the bottom 5 of league standings, based on win percentage.

I am expecting the Canadian universities to become a lot more popular over the next few seasons.Expect to see some of the late bloomers and not so high profile players taking that route for a career.
