If the Canucks put Loui in the AHL would his cap hit be the same is they were to by him out? Loui Eriksson Buyout - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps

Two atrocious hockey teams going absolutely nowhere this season.....at least the Canucks have some prospects in the pipeline to look forward to, the Habs have absolutely zero.
Some random observations. Without Tanev this might be one of the worst bluelines the Canucks have every assembled, and that's saying something given how many bad teams they've had over the years. Pains me to say it, but Stecher and Hutton aren't NHL d-man on most teams in this league. Those d-pairings 1-5 are positively frightening.
This season is going to get ugly.....I can see attendance and interest cratering at Rogers Arena.....unless Benning and Linden sweep the slate clean at the trade deadline, and they load up on kids for the last half of another lost season....but even then, it might not be enough.

Do you have Telus cable by chance? I used to and every freakin' sports channel was a la carte. It sucked.

I know you're using literally in the non-literal way, but it's literally not. If the goal is just to get out from the contract he can be bought out like anyone else.

The 4th year would be the only year a buyout is better. All the rest it is about $500K more to buy him out. So yeah, that's one f***ed up contract.

Imagine Gustav Forsling passing to Boeser on the Powerplay.

It would take 8 more years to free of him in a buyout, 4 if they send him to the minors/europe. Cap cost is the slightly more via buyout.
Buyout Pros: one contract slot back
Buyout Cons: 8 years, more cap hit, replacement player costs against cap (~$2m to replace him)
Seems like a no brainer to take the least years. Best way out imho is to eat $3m/y and get an asset back, some contender would gladly take Eriksson just because he's still a solid defensive player.
Literally impossible in same sense the as it would be literally impossible for the fans to accept Boeser being traded for a 7th.

It's just that there really isn't any point in doing it. We save 500K cap space per year for the next three years, then $2.5M in the fourth remaining year, and then a 500K cap penalty for four more years. The cost of a replacement player will be more.
