Weisbrod almost certainly posted here.

I had one discussion here with notable rabidly pro-Benning/Weisbrod poster where we were discussing the Jankowski draft pick and he was getting more and more riled up and finally posted 'I didn't say that!' to something I referred to Weisbrod saying ... and then quickly deleted the post and left the conversation once he was called on it.

The guy edited his own Wikipedia page FFS. Of course he was trying to manage public opinion in forums like this.

What would the cost be to dump Poolman's LTIR butt? Has it already not been done because lack of insurance ?

This came up recently - I think the consensus is unless there are indications that it's specifically not insured it's safe to assume that it is insured. I think getting rid of this (apparently the team has tried already) is definitely something to pursue now that there is only one year remaining. I also wonder what it would cost to get our 3rd round pick back (given up in the Pearson trade)...if we are going to offersheet an RFA we'll need that (yes I know they are unlikely and almost never work but I still like having the option).

After all of the signings that will take place, the Canucks will be over the cap when you take Poolman’s contract into account.

Since they’re over the cap, they will not accrue any salary cap space.

Adding more LTIR players doesn’t change that. It’s just more actual dollars the owner pays without changing the available cap space.

Whether or not other players are waivers eligible doesn’t change that either. It’s irrelevant. Sure you could paper them down on off days but again, LTIR doesn’t come into play here. That's a separate ploy you could do without anyone being on LTIR.

It simply allows the Canucks to go over the cap and use Poolman’s $2.5 million in cap space to sign another replacement player.

Where other teams benefit from it is adding a replacement player and then activating the LTIR player, in addition to his replacement, in time for the playoffs, where the cap doesn’t apply.

The only way we benefit from Poolman is by getting rid of his, and all/any LTIR contracts entirely, as then we can start to accrue cap space that can be weaponized later in the season.

Zadorov is in Vegas for the awards according to his wife’s instagram. Management also set up in their war room in Vegas. We should see something announced within today/tomorrow if they are for real

We could sign Guentzel for $9.5M and Zadorov for $5.3M (using the AFP projection, hopefully a bit less) and still have about $2M in cap room, assuming Silovs also signs for about $1M.

I wouldn't go that high with Zadorov. I get the love for him but he's played the vast majority of his career as 4/5 and it wasn't like this was his first taste of the playoffs either. I don't have a problem giving him term and trade protection but the cap hit has to reflect that.

I'm thinking (hoping) it might be under $5 based on the Canucks' recent negotiations - but I'm just hedging my bets by using AFP's projections as a worst case scenario.
