Question? If Ericksson gets his bonus July 1st and then retires, do we still have a cap hit on him this season? If yes, how much?
The only HW the Canucks need

No, if he retires his whole cap hit is gone. It's only if a player signs his deal over age 35 that you keep the cap hit.

Another report, this one from Irfaan Gaffar of Sportsnet, that he thinks Myers will definitely sign here at 7 years, $7 million per. That's another Loui Eriksson contract and if it happens will be awful as soon as it's signed.

My hope is that it's a 6 year term max, and it's closer to $6 million a season. I could stomach that, but making Myers one of the top 15 highest paid dmen in the league is not smart management if the $7 million deal comes to fruition.

I am believing this and now coming to terms with it.

Ya; 7 for 7? this boy will be off the wagon. That's a disaster.. In fact, I would call that one of the most desperate signings
in all-time Canuck history.
There's been some crazies but gees.
I freakin hate this time of year.
To me, Myers is worth 5.5 for 6 for six years with all the protection he wants. That's a contract.
But NO, not at FA time. :twisted:

I get real entertainment value how some people hear a rumor, take it as fact, expand upon it to truly wallow in self created negativity and bullshit and THEN blame a GM for a bad thing that never happens.

happens to ALL GM's in EVERY league in EVERY sport...




ah, good times, good times....

JB might not get what he wants anyway. That is why we should not worry too much until July 1.
@DhaliwalSports

Source - Hearing the rumoured Tyler Myers deal with #Canucks is far from done and Myers has more teams than Vancouver out there to meet with. One meeting doesn’t mean deal is done, It’s a process.

Funny, I don't see anyone fawning over Myers, how many fingers am I holding up?

Yeahno, Marleau is completely done.

Loui is a still a decent 3rd-liner/PK-guy on some teams.

Also any team that traded for Marleau had to buy him out.

Also, Dubas.
Different situations - the Leaves have a top young player they need to sign and zero cap space. The Nucks have the cap space to bury Loui if needed. They aren't in a bind like the Leaves were - at least they won't be until the new contracts for Quinn and Petey come up in 2 years.
Thank you for pointing out yet another reason why Blob is wrong in his comparison of dumping Loui to dumping Marleau.

Nobody’s blamed anyone. Some of us have seen the track record and automatically assume the worst. :lol:

Yes they are different situations. Marleau is only signed for one more year, while the Air Thief is signed for three. Sure he is only owed 9 million over three years but he still is owed 18 on the cap. No GM is likely to piss away 6 million of cap annually on a player to throw three hits and play some of the most uninspiring hockey anyone has ever seen. Not without a significant sweetener. That lazy prick is poison to young players and any team that takes him on would appear to have little interest in winning anytime soon. These clowns that think he can be traded for an asset on his own are out to lunch.
