lol he drags that line down. Horvat and Pearson are giving lip service. The guy is a disaster. Staal is about as bad as Gudbranson minus the pseudo toughness. Both are still capable of playing 15 min a night in the leaguein a 6/7 role. Louise does not belong in the league.

Re: Trade rumours & armchair pipe dreams 19-20 Sponsored by SKYO
I guess it’s how you perceive the market. Both are bottom guys with big contracts. Some teams might be looking for “cheap cap space” to get to the cap floor. Louise can play a 4th line role for them. One one hand, the extra contract year is crappy for some teams close to the cap. On teams looking to get to the floor for the next couple years, it’s not a bad thing. Heck, a desperate team might actually give us something back to get to the floor. (Not likely, but possible!)Doyle Hargraves wrote: ↑Mon Sep 28, 2020 10:33 amStaal only has one year left.

And, he's still a serviceable bottom 6 guy for a crappy team.
Staal seems to have set the price for Loui at around a 2nd, or maybe even a 3rd. Anything less is a great deal.
The buying team will determine the price.

Well unless your perception of the market is badly skewed then you know that an aging top-4 pairing defenseman, who can now only play 15 minutes a night on the bottom pair, is worth a helluvalot more than an aging winger who is only suitable for few than 10 minutes per game including PK duty.Madcombinepilot wrote: ↑Mon Sep 28, 2020 12:02 pmI guess it’s how you perceive the market.

Roussel, Beagle, and Sutter are all more useful players than Loui Eriksson in a bottom-6 role. We think all of them are over paid, and Loui makes $1.6M more than the closest paycheque in that group.
In the Staal vs Eriksson case, the former will play 15+ minutes a night, and do so responsibly filling his role of eating minutes and keeping the puck to the outside. Likely while partnered with a younger, future top-4, who will benefit from his experience. He won't drag down a line, and he won't be a $6M healthy scratch in big games.
Not sure how much clearer a perspective one can grasp for the market.
Re: Trade rumours & armchair pipe dreams 19-20 Sponsored by SKYO
Here's a question for you.
If the Canucks were going to buyout his contract, how much savings would they get? I have always heard Loui's contract is buyout proof but just how bad is it?

Re: Trade rumours & armchair pipe dreams 19-20 Sponsored by SKYO
I read this the other day. Pretty sure it was less than $3M of savings, and then the impact over the following 2 years was not worth it.
Edit.
Sorry.
If we buy him out today his cap hit for this year would still be $5.6M, next year it would be $3.6, and then $600K for the following two seasons.
Send him to Utica and I think we save just over $1M.

Re: Trade rumours & armchair pipe dreams 19-20 Sponsored by SKYO
No, I get that. The point I was making, is that it probably won’t cost us Hoglander, a 1st, and Virtanen (or something to that cost) as a price tag to move him as some suggest. If we find the right partner, and can fill the right need, he can be moved. Or terminated.. or killed (don’t matter to me) for the comparable cost of a second.. or even cheaper.Mëds wrote: ↑Mon Sep 28, 2020 12:57 pmWell unless your perception of the market is badly skewed then you know that an aging top-4 pairing defenseman, who can now only play 15 minutes a night on the bottom pair, is worth a helluvalot more than an aging winger who is only suitable for few than 10 minutes per game including PK duty.Madcombinepilot wrote: ↑Mon Sep 28, 2020 12:02 pmI guess it’s how you perceive the market.

Re: Trade rumours & armchair pipe dreams 19-20 Sponsored by SKYO
Posted this earlier, but I think the best we can hope for, other than him being a 'throw in' for a blockbuster trade is:
Loui (50% retained) + 3rd round pick for future considerations (something like a 7th round pick)
We loose a decent asset but get 3 mil in cap savings. That I think might be the best we can hope for.
I would rather send him to Utica and get 1 mil in savings then give up a 1st.

Re: Trade rumours & armchair pipe dreams 19-20 Sponsored by SKYO
Ahhh... Ok. I agree, though it likely could cost us one of Virtanen or Hoglander. A 1st is too high. And certainly not all 3.Madcombinepilot wrote: ↑Mon Sep 28, 2020 1:11 pmNo, I get that.

2. Benning has a bad poker face.
3. Loui has two years left on his contract. Stall has one year, how many more years does Marleau have?

Re: Trade rumours & armchair pipe dreams 19-20 Sponsored by SKYO
And then there was the recent Canucks Army piece that said he was the least engaged and productive player on the Canucks in the post season. Obviously Green had enough. He scratched him 8 straight. The guy is done. Probably my most hated Canuck ever.

I liked Sl trade which was Demko + LE and we receive a 2nd back.theman wrote: ↑Mon Sep 28, 2020 1:17 pm Posted this earlier, but I think the best we can hope for, other than him being a 'throw in' for a blockbuster trade is:

If Demko is the starting goalie we all thought then a younger team like Ottawa/Detroit might do this deal knowing that LE will be gone before they need his space and they just picked up one of the most promising young goalies in the market.

In the case of Marleau, the Canes agreed to carry a $6M cap hit and pay $4.6M real dollars to a player they had to buy out.theman wrote: ↑Mon Sep 28, 2020 1:25 pm1.

2. Benning has a bad poker face.
3. Loui has two years left on his contract. Stall has one year, how many more years does Marleau have?
They had the extra cap space anyway, so essentially Carolina bought a 1st round pick for $4.6M.
Not the same as a Eriksson dump, as the receiving team in this case would getting the services of an okay 4th-line penalty-killer.
Is Loui worth the $2.5M-per real bucks he'd be receiving in that role?
No, probably only a half of that, so a sweetener would be added to the deal.
In my mind I have no doubt Jimmy will dump Loui's entire cap hit by attaching a sweetener to him.
