Canucks Contracts

[Blob Mckenzie]

Thank God cap space doesn't matter in a rebuild.

Depends what time of day it is and how it fits the narrative.

Thank God cap space doesn't matter in a rebuild.

As already explained, that aspect disappears in 2021.

(this hit goes one year beyond that)

Not sure how Gillis should be blamed for outsmarting the rulemakers.

Yeahno, the rulemakers outsmarted Gillis with the so-called Luongo Rule.

"He who laughs last laughs best."

Question, wasn’t Gillis warned about this contract prior to pushing it through? Wasn’t there a lot of talk that these contracts were gonna get punished and Gillis did it anyway cause he’s a smug prick?

Truth.

Comment from another blog:

Bettman warned in no uncertain terms there were going to be ramifications for any team that front loaded deals to circumnavigate the last CBA. Gillis & team decided to ignore the warning in pursuit of a cup (good thing) & knowing any possible pay back would be kicked years down the road (bad thing).

Gillis did a lot of good things in pursuit of the cup but almost all of them were meant to push problems further down the road and all of them have come back to haunt the team in multitude of ways, this is just the latest example. Unfortunately, navigating the landmines Gillis’ short term pursuits left behind, is a job this management group does not seem savvy enough to work around.

The Canucks should sue the league. Contract was
Within the rules when it was signed then the league retroactively changed the rules. Total bullshit.

That’s an asinine comment right there. There is no way to work around this particular “land mine”. Louie has full control of it, and the Canucks were also hamstrung by the pressure being applied by Florida that encouraged Luongo to trigger the bomb.

Naahhh, he’s getting his due from the league shunning him 6 years and running like he truly deserves. Worst GM in hockey history

Don’t shoot the messenger, Mëds ol’ buddy, I’m just quoting someone else’s comment.

Yeah, wasn’t calling you asinine. I saw it was a writer from another blog.

While I haven't yet had enough time to complete an exhaustive reading to ensure the below proposed transaction would be in compliance with the provisions of the CBA, it would seem there was a way around getting hit with Luongo's Cap Advantage Recapture:

Canucks could have traded for Luongo avoiding his retirement and allowing him to go on LTIR (which from the reports was what he had intended to go on but was convinced otherwise by the Panthers). Canucks would have then been on the hook for his Paragraph 1 salary and bonuses under the Standard Player's Contract during the LTIR period but could have avoided the Cap Advantage Recapture charges.

Perhaps the Panthers didn't want to do this, but I don't see why they would have any issue with it as Canucks would be footing the bill.
