Tort's to CBJ for 2nd round pick

[Madcombinepilot]

Not quite a trade, but compensation non the less!!

[BladesofSteel]

We'll take it!

[Diehard1]

Weird rule, but it works for me. To think that Torts is worth the same as a guy like Garrison was doesn't make much sense, but if CBJ wants to hire him we'll take the 2nd rounder.

Anybody know if it's a 2nd this year, or is there a time limit on it? Would be nice to have this year, it's a good draft and a pick in the 30's would be nice to have.

[Madcombinepilot]

Lol.. So the 2nd rounder makes ex coaches worth more than a Higgins or Hansen

I think I read somewhere that these three picks can be anytime over the next 3 years, but yeah, this year would be great, would be low 1st rounder basically.

Correct. 2016, 2017, or 2018 Draft - Columbus choice.

"According to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, teams would receive a second-round draft pick if a transaction happens during the season and a third-round pick if one occurs in the off-season.

Also, there will be a three-year period where the team that hires the coach/GM/president will have to choose when to give up the draft pick."

Wow that's awesome! Is that in 2016 draft? How many picks we have now? Bieksa gave us a 2nd and Lack gave us a 3rd. Didn't we give up a 2nd for Sutter? The BJ's pick should be a high one too

Oh that sucks cause you know that mgmt there won't give up the 2nd until 2018. They always defer it to the last year

After the start they've had, I don't imagine it will be this seasons.

Lack's pick was used to grab Brisebois. Bieksa's was traded down to get Sutter (got our own 3rd back - Pedan).

We have an extra 7th (Lack) and no 5th (Prust).

The fact that we're still paying Torts even while he coaches the Jackets seems like money well spent now.

My plan:
- Fire willie now
- In quick succession, hire a credible NHL coach, then fire them shortly afterwards
- Rinse and repeat until you run out of candidates
- Watch the 2nd / 3rd round picks roll in
- WIN!

Tortorella’s contract in Columbus extends two additional years beyond this season, the same amount of time remaining on his deal in Vancouver. The Canucks will still pay a portion of his salary, the difference between what Columbus was willing to pay and what Vancouver still owed. The Canucks will also receive a second-round pick from Columbus for an in-season hire, as per NHL compensation rules, even though Tortorella was fired 538 days ago. Columbus has until June 1 to determine whether the pick will be in the 2016, 2017 or 2018 NHL draft.

we don't even have to fire Willie.

Just hire all the out of work Coaches to long term contracts, call them assistant coaches (or waterboy's or whatever), then fire them.

turn non cap cash into picks!!

[Blob Mckenzie]

Ignitowski is licking his lips thinking about when he can acquire the next Vey or Baertschi with that second rounder.

[Hockey Widow]

Now if only someone would hire Gillis we could snag another pick.
Gillman, another.


Or do AGM get us nothing.
