How cool would it be to have a pool boy named Poolman??? Seriously though, I'm glad he's taking his health seriously and not trying to make a comeback here. Sometimes you just have to respect your doctors opinion. It would be like an ice cream vendor named Cone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montreal had the cap space to take on Dadonov's contract... Montreal's quietly done a pretty interesting job with "weaponizing" their cap space. I saw a video that lauds Montreal's trade in picking up Pearson. I do believe Pearson will be a great addition for them. They had the cap space to pick him up while picking up a draft pick in return. Vancouver's been playing desperation all this time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vancouver's been playing desperation all this time. In this case it helped both teams. If Pearson's hand is healed he will play hard and bring leadership. We get cap space with another goalie with NHL experience. Win win costing us a third. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGuardian Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 LTIR allows for higher skill level players to be signed and play. Then there is always the possibility of the player coming off LTIR and contributing to the playoffs. Just look at the last few Cup Champs, millions in LTIR BUT then higher skill level, deeper line ups. If LTIR was so bad why are Champions doing it? Canucks cannot trade Poolman because they are capped out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
