Sorry Wids. Just read this.Hockey Widow wrote: ↑Fri Aug 30, 2024 3:06 pm Holy fuck what an unbelievable tragedy. So sad so sad. But at least they are out from under that contract. I know too soon.
There is no way the league should grant them any consideration regarding the cap. They have plenty of time to get cap compliant and Johnny Hockey is not the first death or tragedy to strike a team. The personal tragedy aside, this is business am I right?
Canucks can do them a solid and trade them Poolman for a 7th round pick in 2030 for all I care. Problem solved. Then they have plenty of time to worry about making offer sheets or trades or anything else to bolster their lineup.
Fucking sad .
What are you looking forward to next season?

As UWSaint and I were saying above, Poolman's contract is likely uninsured.Madcombinepilot wrote: ↑Mon Sep 09, 2024 10:37 amWe should offer Columbus hte poolman contract for futures.Lancer wrote: ↑Fri Aug 30, 2024 2:57 pm Not the same caliber of player - or maybe so, we’ll never know - but we have Bourdon in our team’s history of tragedy.
I have little doubt that other clubs will be offering deals to help Columbus hit the floor. That said. I wager we’ll see a bit of training camps before serious offers emerge.
So yeah, that would cost them $2.5M in real dollars.
There are likely insured contracts out there Columbus would rather take on if they chose to go that route.

Poolman + $2.5M cash for a 7th.
Somewhere in NW BC trying (yet again) to trade a(nother) Swede…..
