Confirmed with Link: VAN/COL Poolman (20% retained) + 2025 4th for Erik Brannstrom(Waived)

[VanillaCoke]

nice

 

[StickShift]

This is probably more about getting out of Poolman’s LTIR and getting a contract they can probably bury in the AHL if they have to—and less about getting Brannstrom back.

Some upside could be left in Brannstrom—but he’s now onto his 4th team.

 

[timw33]

Two good outcomes from the Brannstrom waiver: either he gets claimed and we've just dumped 2 contract slots (net one contract slot) or we can stash a puck moving option to see if he can get his game back in the AHL.

 

[WTG]

Hopefully this doesn't impact Pettersson's andKudryavtsev's icetime in Abbotsford. There are quite a few left-handed defenseman in the farm now.

 

[LemonSauceD]

I’m shocked we didn’t spend more to get rid of Poolman.

I don’t care about Brannstrom and I hope he gets claimed so we clear another contract spot. Guy sucks.

 

[Grip it N RYP it]

Poolman contract is gone.

This is it.

Let's mid season bolster this MF.

did you poo first though?

 

[wetcoast]

Brannstrom must have been really bad in order to get traded before he ever played a regular season game with the team he just signed with.

The Avs don't need him they have Sam Malinski who is simply better.

 

[Hansen]

Based on calculations prior to camp, with cap accrual this means we can acquire a player with approximately a 6M aav at the deadline right?

 

[pitseleh]

Apparently works out to Colorado eating $1.5 million in cash for a fourth round pick. Feels about right value-wise.

full credit to Satiar Shah. He was on point with the Waived oneway contract player for about 1million that another team doesn't want to pay while perhaps using Poolman's LTIR or just getting out of paying as much for a player not to play.

Was hopeful it'd be a little less but we haven't had a 4th round pick actually hit since i was born nearly 40 years ago soooo.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Brannstrom has apparently been atrocious during training camp.

His contract is definitely buriable, but I wonder if the Canucks plan to try and work with him / demote one of Juulsen or Friedman, or just immediately waive him to Abbotsford.

Nice to save some cap - Swedish Chef strikes again.

Constantly.

I wonder if they loan him to a different AHL team.

And he’s on waivers -

i am a bit of a seer. My hindsight says that they will just immediately waive him to abbotsford.

He's been put on waivers (see earlier in the thread).

What is the total net cap we end up saving from this? Net of retention and Brannstrom send down?

And what does this allow us to accrue and acquire at the deadline?

 

[Blue and Green]

Yeah, Colorado is already going to be in LTIR for at least a good chunk of the season anyway due to Landeskog. Easier to deal Poolman to a team in that situation.

 

[Jerry the great]

so essentially podkolzin for Brannstrom and $2MM in cap space. that's not a bad swap IMO.

 

[Jannik Hansen]

He has use to us as injury depth. I think he's at least as good as Forbort, just with a different skillset.

Brannstrom's contract is entirely buried.

 

[VibinCanuck]

Team needs more puck movers on the defence, a smart trade to get one before the wavier wire while getting rid of their LTIR problem.

 

[LemonSauceD]

Brannstrom's contract is entirely buried.

Would still be nice if he was claimed just to get rid of that contract slot.

I totally forgot we got a 4th for Pod. This is an extremely easy win considering Podkolzin was likely waiver bound himself.
