Popular Post The Duke Posted Wednesday at 01:56 AM Popular Post Share Posted Wednesday at 01:56 AM I’m high on Raty but I hope he gets back to Abby to play 1C down there rather than 4C / press box. Sounds like Miller, Blueger and now Suter all dealing with minor things plus Joshua out means Raty being a LW/C sticks around a little longer. Big club always comes first I suppose. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bh90 Posted Wednesday at 03:16 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:16 AM I don't think there's any way we can start the season without LTIR If Demko, Joshua, and Poolman start on IR their cap counts. Only way to do it is by starting with 21 healthy skater + the 3 guys above on the IR. You can send Raty/Bains down to start the season and you put Aman in and start with 12 F Bur for D you've had to waive either Juulsen or Friedman. I don't think we can afford to lose either or at this time. Tough decision what do yoh value more. Not starting off season with LTIR or losing one of Friedman/Juulsen? Once season starts it's no issue going into LTIR and it's all retroactive. But if we finalize the off-season roster with LTIR than it's not prorated.

I think Friedman will get waived Otherwise we'd be carrying 8D which is too many. Hughes Hronek Soucy Myers Forbort Desharnais Juulsen LTIR will depend on if Bleuger can come back before season starts If he's ready, we can go with Aman as the 12F and no 13F. https://capwages.com/teams/vancouver_canucks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not a cap floor team like Columbus for a 3rd or a 4th... Pretty sure insurance is paying his salary anyway.

There have been rumours his contract isn't insured, but not sure if that has ever been proven. If they can't trade him I think they will need to put him onto LTIR. The amount cap space we can accrue with him on IR is so minimal that it isn't worth the risk of having a reduced roster. If they can manage to trade him sometime during the season, then we should still be able to accrue quite a bit of space prior to the TDL. One easy way to avoid losing depth guys like Aman, Juulsen and Friedman is to send Silovs down at the start of the season (he's waiver exempt). Then immediately place Poolman onto LTIR (which would give us an LTIR pool of $2.33m) and then bring Silovs back up prior to the first game. This would maximise the LTIR relief we get from Poolman.

MikeyD Posted Wednesday at 03:29 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:29 PM People are really sleeping on Bains. He's the playmaking version of Tyler Motte. There's a reason he wasn't sent down at the cut and I'm glad Tocchet sees it. Also Aman needs to not be in the NHL. Kid is good enough to defend but can't produce to save his life. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Bains will become a good bottom 6 player for us of the future. He’s got 3rd line checker written all over him. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farinush Posted Wednesday at 06:43 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 06:43 PM 19 hours ago, Breadnbutta said: So since they don't want to use any ltir up to accrue extra space for the tdl (My poor understanding, I may be incorrect) Does that mean long-term injured players like Demko, Joshua and Poolman count against our 23 man roster? LTIR and IR doesn’t accrue, it just allows a team to go over the salary cap. To my understanding, by putting those players on LTIR, it takes away from your ability to bank cap space. The best case scenario would be to move Poolman to a team like Washington, who is already in LTIR territory so we can begin to bank a significant amount of cap space. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if we can move Poolman’s contract, by TDL we may be able to acquire a guy who’s at the $6 mil AAV range. To me, I don’t think management is satisfied with Forbort and Desharnais as our 5 and 6. Ideally, we find enough cap space to acquire a Hanifin level defender, like Vegas got last year. That moves Myers to the bottom pair and it gives us enough depth on the blue line with Forbort/Desharnais, Juulsen, Friedman, and potentially Willander come playoff time.

That's a great point on Silovs I forgot he is waiver exempt 100% that will probably be what happens with the regular season roster Bains, Raty, Silovs will be sent down and that way we can keep Aman, Friedman, Juulsen without risking waivers and not use LTIR in off-season Than opening day Joshua will go on LTIR... because once you go on LTIR you can't get moved off until you're healthy so that rules out Poolman IMO if they don't want utilize LTIR long term Once Joshua is on LTIR Silovs gets the call back up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
