[Drance] Les Canucks ont annoncé mardi que Thatcher Demko partait en LTIR. VAN obtiendra immédiatement environ 3,82 millions de dollars supplémentaires en espace de plafond, mais il est prévu que Demko passe en LTI de fin de saison une fois que cela sera approuvé. Vancouver bénéficiera alors d’un allègement complet de son plafond de 5 millions de dollars en LTI.

Hell yeah, get that cap space, take on some bad contracts, get some assets.
Yea it felt strange for Demko to be in IR out for the season
Because it can be retroactive to a date, there’s no point in filing the paperwork until you actually need the cap space?
Otherwise why wouldn’t they have already placed Demko on LTIR.. maybe the league has rules about that sort of thing. Leave players on IR until you actually need the space, then they go to LTIR
So does that imply we are bringing salary in and need space?
They needed the space to recall Mancini…unless there’s a cap dump in this potential Isles trade coming back.
Imagine the trades we could do if EP40 went on LTIR as well
If you look at what the Canucks actually have to trade, if they do move Garland, besides some middling value pending UFAs (Kane, Blueger, Kampf) there aren’t many options for assets to trade. If the Canucks are serious about this rebuild, they need to weaponize their cap space to take assets with players that other teams don’t want. The best rebuilding teams are able to do this and even rehab these players’ value for even more assets down the line
how many McDavids can we acquire with all the cap room we are creating.
(((yawn)))
I’m confused, how will they get the full $5,000,000 cap hit when he played this year. Genuinely asking…
The money we paid Petey, Demko, Boeser, Lankinen is down right comical.
What a failed organization.
Just retire bro
So their main cap dumps I think would be Palat, Duclair and Drouin (Romanov but I doubt it.
I’d bet it’s Duclair with Drouin being a close second.
Welcome, tank Lieutenant Mangiapane.
good, this means we can add players for our playoff rush
Use the cap space to acquire assets please!
Doooooo somethiiiiiing
I’M READY TO PULL MY HAIR OUT AGAIN
(Just kidding, my old ass is already bald and it’s only partly because of our Nucks)
One of the stupidest moves to ever go down in Canucks franchise history was signing Demko instead of trading him and keeping Silovs as their starting goaltender.
Next.
If there’s one thing this front office has done well, it’s making room like this. Unfortunately, their talent acquisition into this accrued cap space has not been their strong suit.
I hope they use the cap $$ to retain on a bad contract and get a few picks or a prospect
Sweet aquilini losing money
Send him to the island bro
Yes! Free up all that cap room so they can once again not take advantage of it at the deadline.
#Who wants to dump on us?!
…their terrible contracts. Add to the pile bb
Second worst contract on this team…
Hopefully they have something going on for a big return
We should have done this earlier, preferably before he reinjured himself (again).
Is that it for him? Does he come back from this one?
Can we put the entire franchise on LTI? That would free up my time and all the cap space.
Breaking News – man made of glass is not durable!
Best we can do is $8M AAV.
This better be to pick of cap dumps. If I see a 3+ on a contract coming in I’m walkin’ (Not really)
Weaponize the cap? Actually, n/m … I don’t care. This formal tank is going to be tough.
I just hope they weaponize cap space effectively in return for assets
