Confirmed with Link: Avs Trade Brännstörm for Tucker Poolman + 4th

[henchman21]

Is the insurance paying for Poolman?

His contract is insured. Most teams don’t do the full amount, including Vancouver… but assume the majority is covered.

It's for when a pool boy is not enough for your wife.

Likely that Branstrom is a nothing in this.
Vancouver paid a 4th to unload an injured guy.
Colorado monetized their LTIRed situation and apparently even generated cap space out of it. So they got paid a 4th, to increase their cap space, that's actually quite fantastic. Seems like their only downside is they have a greater real cash salary to pay. So if I'm getting this right, the cheap ass Avs owner have accepted to shell out cash in order to acquire an asset and cap space. Interesting...

I've been asking Vancouver beat writers (as a Canucks fan) for awhile now if Poolman's contract is insured and no one had the answer.

If Poolman's contract is insured, than the Avs might actually be paying less in real cash. Branstrom's contract is one way and would be owed NHL money even in the AHL.

I wonder the amount retained by the Canucks is the exact amount that saves the Avs real money vs keeping Branstrom lol.

I think you are onto something. #Kroenkeischeap

The more I think about it... the less I understand... playing with LTIR is supposed to help you add players while others are injured. Our challenge is to fit everyone AFTER they come back from injury... I understand that opening nigh LTIR shenanigans help maximize the LTIR pool available, but I don't get how the LTIR pool helps fitting everyone under the cap when they come back, if LTIR prevents a team from accruing cap space...

Boy they must've REALLY not liked Brannstrom!

Ah well, I figured he was kind of a bust when the Sens didn't keep him around, but was hopeful he'd showcase some skills with the Avs. Oh well.

Vancouver waived him after the trade also

I’ve only seen snippets of games and stuff, but he looked horrible the little bit I saw of him.

No idea if it's just as good, but I recently found this cap friendly alternative.

It's obviously not, but that layout is so much nicer (because it's a copy from CapFriendly lol) than puckpedia.

But Kylington is going to replace Girard right @AvStock!

Hope so, Girard sucks

I still wish PuckPedia would go back to their NHL Numbers format. That was so much easier to read, even superior to Cap Friendly's layout.

Everything is lining up for that to happen too!

Hope so, Girard sucks

But why does he suck?

Looks like they 100% copied the CF format.

He doesn't actually know.

I couldn't really tell the difference, but the only thing I ever used cap friendly for was quick looks at salaries and basic trade tests.

How Rudo got a job covering hockey I’ll never know.

He heard we had a lot of “blue chippers” in the lineup and stuck around thinking he was getting fancy nachos.
