Don’t get your hopes up fellas, the Canucks way is to waste whatever cap space you have on either underperforming players or players that could never perform in the first place.

A quick stealth trade for a top 4D would be a smart move.

I would assume they have something cooking. You don’t just buy him out just in case. More to come I’m hoping.

Hopefully this management can pry out a good player from a cap-strapped team for cheap, or take on an underperforming short-term contract for assets (like Montreal did with Monahan)

Money for a 3lc just appeared.

Looking at capfriendly is so depressing.

Even draft picks. Even if you're 'retooling' cause you won't rebuild, you should have a few decent picks (top 2 rounds). We've got three 4th rounders that are prayers at best.

After next year when I'm sure we'll let Beauvillier walk, our haul for Horvat will be Raty - who is already proving to be the bust Lou knew he was ... and a portion of what got us Hronek - who I will be fair to and say jury is out but I'd rather have the pick.

A couple moves that would need to pan out and some progression from the youth is still going to put this team in the middle pack.

A trade might work. It might not be pretty at first but at least there's room for improvement

That 1st round pick must be burning a hole in their pocket. Better package that up.

In the top ten!

Oliver Ekman-Larsson becomes the 5th most expensive buyout in NHL history at a total cost of $19,333,333.

We traded 1 year of cap hell along with a 1st and 2nd for OEL's adjusted contract and Garland at $5M.

Building around a 30 year old JTM means we won't do anything for 8 years, so that fits pretty nicely with the OEL buyout.

Next playoff appearance for 60 year anniversary, you heard it here first!

Now's the time to upgrade the D before free agency. Hockey trade for a player equal to Hronik.

It is actually very easy to trade for an injured Dman.

1 year of cap hell, instead we rode a hot goalie to a Boudreau bump. Then we had this past season.

Well team needs a top 4 lefty now more than a righty.

Will cost more than that. Look at what Povorov cost.
