HOLY COW

Nucks buyout of OEL looks crazy

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Man that buyout is brutal

 

[Gallagbi]

Less than 2 years after the trade, but we all knew it'd end up here

 

[tmlms13]

Good thing they don't plan on contending anytime soon. Hard enough to build a contender under the cap without and dead space

Yotes also get the boot from that OEL buyout

Why wouldn’t they just take a pick to get him back. If they use that retention slot properly every deadline it’s 8x3rd round picks they just got locked out of.

Hilarious that it happened to the team that essentially exists to allow others to stay under the cap.

Also, if the Coyotes move after next year, then it gets even better: Arizona trades OEL and retains salary, Vancouver buys him out, Arizona gets stuck with one year of retention from the buyout, and then wherever they move to gets stuck with the additional seven.

Some poor fan in Houston or Salt Lake City is going to be trying to build a team on CapFriendly in 2030 and get frustrated that they can't facilitate a trade because OEL takes up a retention spot

Imagine if they had already used up the 3 retained salary for next season; how would have worked out?

OEL's buyout has a longer half life than the remaining primes of Elias Pettersson and Quinn Hughes.

Cap increase should insulate them from the worst of it.

I'm sure he won't be out of work long.

Benning was something else lol

OEL is the modern day Rick DiPietro.

Patrice Bergeron after Vegas hired Cassidy: 'They're going to win the Stanley Cup'

It looks like Boston Bruins legend Patrice Bergeron can add prognosticator to his long list of talents.

[Dekes For Days]

That is one horrible buyout. Wow.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Not only is the buyout horrible, the initial trade for OEL is looking so bad for the Canucks

Remember they also acquired Garland in that deal, who is on the outs and now is considered a cap dump (almost a buyout candidate).

In that deal they gave up the 9th OA pick which turned out to be Dylan Guenther who has had a nice start to his career post draft.

How often does Sid actually have a good take?

I mean that seriously. Is he ever right?

His mom only likes him as a friend

*Rest of the league you mean. No more dumping grounds

 

[PromisedLand]

Another player it seems not looking to "maximize" dollars with a 3 yr contract waiting for cap to go up.

The number will be interesting, especially after that dismal playoff performance.

Should be a good Nylander comparable

Random Saturday thought - is Bob tradeable this summer?

He'll be 35 with 3 years left going into next season. Its a back diving with an aav of 10M. Relatively average season going into playoffs, where he obviously had a great run. Florida's been quick to switch away from his at various times over his deal.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Bob will be 35? WTF? When did that happen?
