I think it’s just cap savings and getting a bit younger.

They looked tired and slow against Colorado. Time to retool a bit.

Didn’t Zogg used to have a clown avy? He was a good poster. I’ll try and find his.

He did.

Back in the day, the Canucks would have given up several picks for McDonough.

Nashville did well and again are back to having a very solid top 4 defenders.

Oh it’s for sure a cap move. Seems like a nice deal for Nashville though

Zogg's funny, always made me laugh.

Benning would have doled out a first for sure, plus plus.

14. Vancouver: Brock Boeser is exhibit A why deadlines matter. You hear all sorts of talk — they’re not close, they’re not close, they’re not close — and it’s true, but then a deadline comes and people get serious. Teammate Iain MacIntyre had a great interview with Boeser on Saturday night, and it’s impossible not to root for him. I don’t think he’s getting traded; everyone here believes he’ll be rejuvenated come September. There’s a path to a Bo Horvat extension. Hard to predict a timeline, but that’s the goal. Whether it’s the Rangers or Washington or someone else, the Canucks will aim higher than Minnesota’s return for Fiala and should get it for J.T. Miller. It’s going to be too hard to get an extension done. The Canucks could surprise us. The Tyler Myers rumours have been there forever — they’ve got a price they want paid to consider it — but a few teams have suggested they might do something we haven’t thought of yet.

CAP OVERAGES

Websites like CapFriendly and PuckPedia do a lot of this legwork, but teams were officially informed of all overages this week. The cap is $82.5 million, but for some clubs it will be less than that due to performance bonuses.

Here are those 14 teams, and how much they are affected:

Vancouver: $1.25 million

Montreal: $1,132,500

St. Louis: $1.1 million

Edmonton: $896,000

Dallas: $675,000

Florida and Los Angeles: $637,500

Philadelphia: $295,000

Islanders: $245,795

Chicago: $237,500

Toronto: $212,500

Carolina: $112,500

Washington: $100,000

Colorado: $25,000

“With a buyout of Myers, who has a unique cap credit that we’ve reported on, #GoBolts will have cleared more than $7.3 million in cap space with this trade.”


Sounds like Myers will most likely be bought out.

Julien BriseBois said it was not a "pleasant" experience having to ask Ryan McDonagh to waive no-trade, called him one of best d-men in league. But became "odd man out" when considering contracts for Sergachev, Cirelli, Cernak, Colton, Foote going forward.

Conflicting reports now. Either way saved TB a lot of cap.

92 points is bottom 20 not 65 points as you suggest. If the team was .350-.400 they would be picking in the top three the year after.
- 1970vintage

Detroit Red Wings - 74 pts 25th OA
Ottawa Senators - 73 pts 26th OA
Chicago Blackhawks - 68 pts 27th OA
New Jersey Devils - 63 pts 28th OA
Philadelphia Flyers - 61 pts 29th OA
Seattle Kraken - 60 pts 30th OA
Arizona Coyotes - 57 pts 31st OA
Montreal Canadiens - 55 pts 32nd OA

So here are your bottom 20 and top 30 think my suggestion is pretty close while your 92 pts bottom 20 is a bit far fetched, but not uncommon among Canucks fans that need to always want to change everything.

Conflicting reports now. Either way saved TB a lot of cap.

That last criptic line is intriguing. We all know we need a shakeup, Miller and Myers make the most sense to me. But they have their work cut out for them for sure. D needs improvement and oel seem immovable to me

Yeah they’re always clear, concise & open with their objectives to the media.

I have no idea why certain people want to drop a steamy deuce on them already. They've done a good job so far stopping the bleeding. It's been less than a year and this is their first off season. I think they deserve a bit more runway.

the dude straight up said that they're not buying him out, you so realize that GM-player agent relationships are a thing, no GM is going to say something like that and then change his mind a few days later.

I know a few laugh at Friedman but I think this is a solid take without all the gloom from the faithful here.

Friedman: "...a few teams have suggested [the Canucks] might do something we haven’t thought of yet." Gotta love a mgmt team willing to look at all possibilities. #Canucks


Sign Miller trade Horvat?

Friedman has pretty much covered all possibilities at this point


And the quote just posted is so vague that it could mean almost anything.
