Pre-Game Talk: GM 22 | Vancouver Canucks @ Buffalo Sabres | Fri. Nov 29th | 12:00pm PST | SNP | Black Friday Sale

[Kryten]

Once again I am forced to wonder what it would cost to get a 50% retained Ethan Bear from Washington. They can't be happy about paying him $2M to toil in the AHL. And if it didn't work out, we could bury him just as easily.

Technically the cap cost would be cheaper to keep him in the A rather than trade him at 50% for WSH

Canucks made the right call shipping out Bains and keeping Sasson, as least for the time being.

He's played in just two games with limited fourth line minutes, but has two points. He's a far swifter player, and causes problems in the O-zone with his speed.

Besides, if his Dad keeps following him in this Eastern Road swing, it's worth it just to see his reaction when his son scores his first NHL goal.

Correct. It would be a money saving, but not cap saving, move.

Sasson has definitely had a solid couple of games. Like what I’m seeing from him, hope he can keep up the good play. His speed and utility is a good fit on the fourth line.
