You don't lose him for nothing. You use him as a year long rental and you gain cap space. Cap space always matters. Doesn't matter if you are competitive/contender or in a rebuild.Chef Boi RD wrote: ↑Fri Jun 28, 2024 9:43 amThe Canucks I believe are gonna go Las Vegas style going all in on a top winger like Guentzel and walk Boeser to UFA saying goodbye to Brock and letting Lekkerimaki fill in on Boesers spot the next season after cooking. The ELC on Lekkerimaki is something they are relying on. It’s all about the playoffs currently, they like the idea of having both Boeser and Guentzel on the wings on the top two lines for another playoff run. The Vegas style year by year playoff building and reinvent the next year, it’s a new style of cap managing for post season playoff Haves like Vegas and now the Canucks, whereby players like Boeser are walked to UFA and said goodbye to all in the name of Lord Stanley. I think it’s a smart move as it’s all about winning the cup when you’re in the position to, strike while the irons hot, unfortunately sacrifices (losing Boeser for nothing) have to be accepted. The rebuild era is over.Hockey Widow wrote: ↑Thu Jun 27, 2024 11:13 pmYes enough left for big Z but I still don't know how they plan to land a true top six.Carl Yagro wrote: ↑Thu Jun 27, 2024 10:43 pm Just checking in to see if Cuz is alright... 3 more years of Giraffephobia.![]()
Bluegear was a great signing.
Not so thrilled with Jeremy's contract and term, but pretty much expected it.
Needed to retain Joshua's size and girth, but have a nagging feeling he won't fully live up to his new contract's expectations. Hope to be wrong.
Enough left for what Big Z wants?
another good thing Allvin has done is that he won't have to go through this next season. The only big name that may be needing a contract is Boeser. Allvin has bought himself a few years of cap certainty.

Goebbels was right.
Has a team in a rebuild ever tried to "clear cap space"?
No, only teams trying to compete for the playoffs/Cup try to clear cap space.
Cap space doesn't matter in a rebuild.
And what kind of team usually takes on bad cap from a team trying to compete for the playoffs/Cup?
A rebuilding team.
And why is that?

Re: Canucks News N Notes 24-25
So logic and common sense aren't enough for ole Blobert.
You're the one who keeps repeating cap space matters in a rebuild
... so it's on you to find a quote to support your claim.

Re: Canucks News N Notes 24-25
How often do teams announce that a player WON'T be signing? That's really a player decision and Allvin could just have left it open. Seems to be a bit of a statement about how they're going about contracts this year.

Has the 3rd round of the draft started yet?

Guess so, another Swede, Mëds must be excited.

As Doc says, "teams trying to compete for the playoffs/Cup try to clear cap space."
So if a rebuilding team has abundant cap space, then they can afford to take on a bad contract in a trade from a team that needs to dump salary, and pick up some more long-term assets in the exchange.
So a rebuilding team might well be advised to eat someone else's bad contract, but they should never sign overly generous ones of their own, unless they have plans to flip the contract to a contender at the deadline.

I read one where the team announced that they expect Zadorov will test free agency. Sounded more like they made their best offer, and it’s still on the table, but the player is going to shop around first. However, this management group has certainly not been one that sits and waits. They will keep working and looking for a replacement, and if something is there they will do it and then Zadorov will be SOL.
