Months of planning, and weeks of number crunching, culminated Wednesday when the NHL approved the Canucks season- opening roster which was filed at noon.
For Canucks fans, there hasn't been much fun in trying to figure out what the brain-straining decisions the Canucks made this week. There was nothing simple about it, nothing seemed clear cut nor concrete.
To get cap compliant, Vancouver sent two players who made its team, Cory Schneider and Alex Bolduc, to Manitoba. They recalled a player who didn't in Lee Sweat and kept both Eddie Lack and Cody Hodgson — to make use of their combined $1,110,000 bonus cushion. But Sweatt, Hodgson and Lack will trade places with Bolduc and Schneider in Manitoba by Saturday.
It was done in an attempt to construct a roster which "provides maximum cap flexibility." To get it, Vancouver had to be as close to their cap ceiling of $59.31 million as possible.
"Laurence has done a great job since he arrived here and this was a case in point," Mike Gillis said. "It was not as easy as some people would like to think. It took a lot of patience and a lot of effort and a complete knowledge of the CBA to do it effectively."
In order to maximize their flexibility, the Canucks needed to get one of Alex Burrows or Sami Salo on the active roster. The player who was on will now be moved to in-season long term injury reserve. It will allow enough relief over the cap to sign Peter Schaefer by Saturday.
The player who was off, was placed on off-season long-term injury and his salary was not included in the calculations which got the Canucks under 59.31 million. That cap number is the league's ceiling, $59.4 million, less the overage bonus of $90,000 from last year which was paid out to Mason Raymond.
"There were were so many variables that went into what happened," Gilman said. "Not the least of which was the competition in camp. There were trades, there were injuries.
"What happened (yesterday) was a culmination of all those factors. The intriguing part of it, the emergency room like part of it was conducted with the trades which were done in the last few days. All that stuff factored into it.
"We were able to satisfy that which was born out of the competition in our camp. That was the cool part of it."
