Can’t imagine that it’s against the rules. But the benefit to moving Myers is if you have a follow up move to it. Or if you can make a money Ehrhoff deal.
Excellent and vivid analogyIt feels very much like the sewer crawling scene from Shawshank Redemption, just gotta hold your nose and crawl through 500 yards of putrid shit mixed with your own vomit. But with each inch we grind through the smell becomes slightly less repulsing.
Here's hoping that at the end of the pipe lies our salvation.
I would agree that things are trending the right way..You can finally see that PA/JR are untangling themselves from the fiscal straightjacket they inherited (it came with a hefty price tag though).
I still don't see how it's any time before the deadline, though (and then if the Canucks are competitive, they won't bother). This narrative out there that "once Myers' bonus is paid, he's an asset" just flies in the face of the "no one has any cap room" observation. The problem is the cap space just as much as the cash, even before you get to the NTC problem.
Ana, Chi, Arizona all have a ton of cap.
None of those really fit the profile of “see the player as an asset” trades – i.e. teams actually wanting the player. By definition they’ll be over the cap floor, so they’d largely still be trying to get something from the Canucks to take the deal (except maybe SJ as you note), and there’s little reason to think Myers would be willing to do it.
With the buyout to compete now, it feels like we opted to extend the pipe for another 150 yards but with 60% less shit so a little bit more can squeeze through.It feels very much like the sewer crawling scene from Shawshank Redemption, just gotta hold your nose and crawl through 500 yards of putrid shit mixed with your own vomit.

The question is, can we crawl that extra 150 yards before the warden wakes up (ie. rebuilding teams in division) and catches us
Looks like Nashville has cap and they are a small market team that just spent 8M cash in retention of Ryan Johansen. Taking on Myers and sending over like some salary over could be something that that makes sense to save ownership some $$$
Arizona makes sense to me. The reports are they have wanted to improve the roster. I think there's an obvious connection there.

Right now with draft capital and cap space you could help teams in cap trouble by getting good players at a significant discount. You are under valuing the cap space and the draft capital as an option. We will also need young players on ELC if we want a cup. Playoffs would be nice, but winning a cup is the goal. We haven’t been making the playoffs with a clear number one Center, dman and goalie, has a team ever effectively transitioned from a lotto team to a cup winner without cleaning up cap space and building up a prospect pool?
