Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

Thomas Drance
If you design a retroactive penalty so stupid that it only ever really punishes one club and has to be amended because it poses a liability significant enough to threaten the practical operation of two others, you should probably just repeal it entirely.

Still it saves Nashville, they won't have to get a $26M cap hit or whatever insane number that was lol, just his AAV now. Preds saved if/when Weber retires. Wild with parise/suter.

Interview with Drance

Something new...I agree with him on this. So do a plenitude of others. Even outside Canuckdom.

Luongo retired for several reasons. Mostly he was ailing from past injuries and hurting from present conditions that would not get better
through playing. The penalty has always been essentially illegal anyways.

Get off your butt Aqua. Quit kissing someone else's.
Yes!! The three million per year for 20-21 and 21-22 is a big deal...

-Qualifying round games will count as part of 2019-20 Stanley Cup playoff statistic

-Next pay date: In event 2020-21 #NHL season starts after Nov. 15, which is very likely, then players with 20-21 contract will be paid 8.1% of salary by Oct. 31.

Players will have gone from April 1 to Oct. 31 between pay cheques.

Very interesting: Clubs that have a Performance Bonus overage from this year will have the option to evenly distribute it between 2020-21 and 2021-22 (50% each season).
