What do you think the walk away point is for the Canucks?

I assume they match anything under $10.97M (given limited return) so is it $11M for five years (straight to UFA)?

Forget the game, that would be some crazy PR to get the rivalry going if EP signed an offer sheet with Seattle.

We need more animosity in the league

I dont actually think they would do it, as they need prospects, but It sure would be fun to see.

Can't wait to hear what the compensation was from teams for the choices Seattle made. Wouldn't surprise me if Minnesota, Columbus, New Jersey made some side deals.

Based on some of their picks, I have a feeling there will be no shortage of compensation going back to Seattle.

Carolina, Minnesota, New Jersey, Tampa, Ottawa, Columbus, Chicago, Boston would be my team guesses that potentially added.

They’d match and do what’s necessary to be compliant imo

Losing EP is a PR nightmare

I like that Francis kinda fucked over all the GM’s who thought they were gonna get some cap relief
- LeftCoaster


I disagree, most of those GM's fucked themselves over by signing those contracts.

It's a good thing the Canucks didn't have any players worth taking, good job Benning

Eichel makes any team in the NHL better while being on it. He's an unbelievable player.

If nothing else, he has done a good job of making sure not much was available in the 2 expansion drafts, 5 years apart.

Thankfully the expansion draft wasn't in 2 years, he really would have been in trouble

GM’s usually throw an anchor rather than a lifeline.

I don't need to present a doomsday scenario , everyday in here is doomsday.

Seattle signed two players this morning and they were already better than the Canucks
