I believe two forwards will get traded up front by October, there's way too many contracts & I don't think management wants to send a couple expensive contracts to Utica except maybe Eriksson unless he goes on coke and rips up the scene.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

It would be great if we could get rid of Spooner and Ericksson. 7.9 right there!

Did you mean Schaller? as Spooner is bought out already $1M cap hit x 2.

I like Schaller as a 4th liner, scrappy, big fella who can throw em if needed, he'd be good in a playoff run as part of the "5th line" who can move up when needed.

We have lots of scrappy large boys who we can call up for 1/2 the price.

True that, keep forgetting about MacEwen the big fella.

If Jim can get any pick at all for Timmy, lets just do that and free up 1.9. Almost two million makes a difference.

Note; Kind of pissy the 19/20 cap came out so damned late.

It only frees up a million. The replacement will make a million.

Nobody’s giving up a pick for Schaller.

They really liked him in Boston, I could see them floating a late rounder our way if they need a depth piece or injury relief. May require salary retention though.

Why not see if he comes to camp ready to work for his cake. The guy was part of a pretty good physical forecheck line in beanerville

Why not see how his camp goes. He used to play with some jam. Maybe he had trouble with the new team or something

His problem was Green didn’t like him. As soon as he was on for a few goals against he was instant dog house. Gonna play bottom six, don’t get scored on!! Maybe if he gets a clean slate.....

I could be wrong but from where I sit he was slacking off and Green called him on it.

Probably best for all concerned if they part ways.

His $500K bonus has been paid, maybe retain another few hundred thousand and dish him to a budget team?
