No, at the time it was a good deal. Subsequent retroactive rule changes by the NHL penalized the agreement.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Wasn’t Gillis supposed to be ahead of the game? A true visionary? To the point of weird? Like “how the fuck?”

Myers isn't out of the question.

Buying out Spooner gives us an extra $2M in cap space
Buying out Schaller gives us an extra $1M in cap space

I think most of the adults understand this. The contracts should have been grandfathered in by the league.

Yeah, that really pisses me off. What did the Canucks do to get the ire of the league on this? You know Boston, Toronto or pretty much any other American franchise would have gotten it grandfathered in.

Gillis

He made a lot of enemies when he was a Players Agent.

Why cant this rediculous ruling be appealed?

No need to buy either out - drop them into the minors and you save almost the same amount of cap space, but the contracts are only on the books for 1 year instead of 2.

Because Aquilini either agreed to the retroactive rule change at a governor's meeting, or failed to convince enough fellow owners at the time that it shouldn't be retroactive.

Either way, there is zero percent chance the league will do anything to help the canucks, just another lump to be taken.

I think we all knew when cap re capture was brought in that we would be the only team to suffer from it - even though Luongo made it closer than anybody to completing his contract.

Holy fuck Dude. Can you let it go already?!? All that hate is gonna burn you up! EVERYONE knows you hate the guy.

We understand that on his deathbed, your gonna unplug his life support to charge your IPhone 4. We get where he ranks in terms of importance and priorities in your life. Even Blob gets it by now...

.. or embrace the hate... but ffs, don't mention it every other post. Your worse than my grandmothers broken Kenny Rogers Record stuck on repeat.
