Canucks take on Seabrook’s contract in its entirety IF
1) Hawks take Eriksson and Gagner off our hands.
2)........I guess there is no number 2.
I believe that Chicago’s overall cap hit would go up after this, but those two contracts would come off the books a lot sooner.
My line of thinking is this from a Canucks standpoint. Even though the Seabrook contract is possibly the worst contract in the NHL right now, the Canucks need on defense is so severe, that accepting a bad contract on the right side defense might be necessary.
A washed up Seabrook is likely our 2nd best defensemen on our right side, as sad as that is.
With a few of our prospect forwards likely to make the team over the coming years, I think the Canucks can afford to part ways with Eriksson and Gagner, and instead, accept a bad contract in a position of far more necessity.
