48 hour buyout window is now open

I dont see them buying out Louie. Maybe Sven with one year left (or is it sutter with one year?)

Louis contract is buyout proof because of how heavy it was on signing bonuses. I think they get more cap space (only a million) sending him to the ahl than buying him out

I posted it earlier in the thread but the rule on this second buyout window is the contract aav has to be above 4 million dollars ... meaning only sutter can be bought out (not sven)

 

[jstewismybastardson]

And im just being positive / wishful thinking / aspirational on a buyout happening lol

Is Frankie gonna pay people to just go away in a covid world ? Maybe if its about sending them to sleep with the fishes or take a dirt nap Ill believe it when i see it.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Heh

The cap hit on loui if hes sent to the ahl is just under 5 shmill so buying him out means 666k (number of the beast contract!) more of a caphit this season

 

[puckhead]

i can live with that.


so.... about that buyout window....

Timing Correction:

Still a chance of a potential dirt nap for someone though

Frankie on the Covid Cap this year... Going with youth and what we got on the bottom six ... Looking at the team we are worse than last year and really we only made the playoffs because of a.long break and covid . Don't think we would have made it if the 82 were fully played. But we did what we did showing all you have to do is get in. Next year will be a shorter season and Frankie hoping lighting can strike twice for us. I have zero expectations for next season so I guess that's good

At least Calgary's going to be more fun to watch this year

An update on Vasili Podkolzin with the GM of his team in the KHL.​

---

No shortage of concern with the Canuck fan base when they look at 2019 1st round draft pick and 19 year old Vasili Podkolzin.

One look at Podkolzin’s stats and you can see why, 1 goal and 3 assists in 18 games for St. Petersburg SKA in his 2nd season in the KHL.

Today Podkolzin was sent to the VHL, a lower league.

I talked with Roman Rotenberg the vise-president and GM of SKA about the Podkolzin who is a big piece of the Canucks future.

Rotenberg still can see a player with huge NHL potential, “100%, I see the potential. He does a lot of things right, he is just not scoring. He needs to work harder, very simple and he knows that.”

Rotenberg understands the Vancouver market, he was introduced to Canucks owner Francesco Aquilini this summer by Pavel Bure.

Rotenberg knows how crazy it can get with prospects and expectations in a Canadian market, “When covid hit our team, Vasili was getting lost of ice time up to 25 minutes, he also got tired and was playing too much. We are sending him to VHL to get ready for the National junior team, get in shape, work hard and become a leader. We believe in him, the coaching staff does as well, we are working with him to be a leader.”

Many forget Podkolzin is still a teenager in a men’s league, it is not easy to rack up points says Rotenberg, , “He gets many scoring chances, he needs to improve his shot and he will. Improve the shot and a faster release and he will score more, he plays well to create the chances, he just needs to score more and he will.”

Rotenberg says Podkolzin will be fine, he understands a rabid fan base in Vancouver and the expectations.

Podkolzin has an opportunity in the next few weeks to play for the Russian national junior team under coach Igor Larionov and get success against his age group, chances are good Larionov will name Podkolzin the captain of the team.

and this is from his first game in the lower league today.

1. I thought he was decent last year. and pretty good in the playoffs
2. what, no room in Calgary?

 

[jstewismybastardson]

2 of Rafferty juolevi Chatfield and rathbone will be the 6 and 7 dmen if no other moves are made

I thought he was decent as well and he's already been through Calgary - The transfer/transition is as follows:

Calgary
Vancouver
KHL/retirement
