Artemus Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 47 minutes ago, stawns said: He has 30 days before he requires waivers going back down. Did a bit of research. It appears that @Tusk is correct about Aman needing to clear waivers to go back down to Abby but not for his stated reasons. Aman played 68 games for Vancouver last year. The magic number of games played in the NHL is 70 games before clearing waivers is required. So, Aman was able to go down to Abbotsford at the beginning of the year without going through waivers. He signed a new contract and was recalled and played in a couple of games. He now has played 70 games in the NHL and will have to clear waivers to go back down, regardless of whether he plays in less than 10 games and/or is on the roster for less than 30 days. I doubt that he would clear waivers without a claim being put in, so I am assuming that he stays on roster for the rest of this year. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Just now, EdgarM said: If you think you are getting Bear for minimum I think that is a lot of wishful thinking. This group has strategically been very optimistic and strike when its in our favour in trades and acquistions. Sure if Bear wants to play for cheap, by all means, but I think this management group has a plan and I don't think they just want to be OK. They have specific players in mind and I think that player looks a lot like Zadorov and a lot less like Bear IMHO. I think they look to add both to be honest. Something like: Hughes Bear Zadorov Hronek Cole Soucy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like: Hughes Bear Zadorov Hronek Cole Soucy I see Bear as a replacement for Hughes or Hronek if either of them go down, I don't think Bear would come in for his defensive prowess or his shut down capabilities in the top 4.

Gawdzukes Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 If we just sign Bear with the money ... ugggg. I hope they have a trade in place for a better player who will actually make us better. In either case good move, he's an expiring player whom isn't in our future and really isn't helping us now. That's smart management at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RawkDrummer Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Use that new found cap space for a top 4 d-man. It's a waste to spend half of it on 5th or 6th d-man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flickyoursedin Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Finally there it is! Chicago management out to lunch. In the summer the Canucks probably would have traded Beauvillier and a mid round pick for a 7th just for the cap space when we really needed it. Instead they overpaid for guys to hit the cap floor.

They have specific players in mind and I think that player looks a lot like Zadorov and a lot less like Bear IMHO. For $1-$1.5m (prorated)... Absolutely IMO. His situation doesn't exactly lend itself to a huge payday. Easily do that and add a "Zadorov". Though I hope we're aiming higher than Zadorov. I want another "Hronek" type deal. Zadorov is a great idea addition this summer as a UFA (assuming Calgary doesn't want to move him to us for anything reasonable). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I’d do Akito Hirose and Aidan McDonough. We don’t have to send any cap back, so Calgary frees up $3.75 million in cap space to make another move. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear is a slight improvement over them but not by much. If we could acquire him for cheap and deal him at the TDL I woud be good with that. Good asset management. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to CapFriendly, Nils Aman is no longer waiver eligible. He will be with the team permanently. That’s why they signed him to a two year one way extension… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
