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

[wetcoast]

This pretty much confirms 100% we’re making a significant deal at the deadline, so the real question is who might be available, let’s put our trading hats on and try to figure this out shall we!

My first fear is what do we give up at the deadline then?

It's not like our system is that great and while we had a promising season last year, it was unexpected and sometimes these things balance out a bit.

Sure if EP40 is playing like he can, I can why we would go all in on a deep run but for me this trade is just breathing room, if we need it, not a precursor.

Although after writing this it's not how this regime seems to think so sure maybe they are 100% in on another big deal next deadline.

The number of people saying "Tanev light" in the original signing thread.

ooooofffffff

 

[arttk]

While I agree that "VCR" is a dumb shortened version of Vancouver, I think the day I'm on a hockey forum like "Brannstrom got traded to my TV?? Huh???" is the day I go in for an assessment.

Hockey media overall is pretty shit.

Yeah, those doofuses were obviously wrong even then.

But Christian Felton, now—there's a true "Tanev light." Just watch.

1st and 3rd for a player.
2nd and <not Willander/Lekk> for another player.

My super early guess is a strong two-way LHD on a similar or higher level than Soucy. Someone that shakes free like Gavrikov or Pettersson?

And they’ll pay for retention on the defender, or a rental right hand 3C to play the Lindholm role, probably at a lower cost

 

[Jerry the great]

So with a 23/23 roster and assuming Bains is sent down, the Canucks will have 0.48m in cap space to start the season. Since Raty isn't eligible for waivers, they can toll daily capspace but sending him to Abbotsford. With Raty in Abbotsford, that increases cap space to 1.31m which allows for significant accrual on those days.

With everyone healthy and Silovs & Raty in the AHL, that puts the Canucks at 2.165m.

you're keeping both Friedman and Juulsen then? I suppose you could always play Friedman at F if someone got sick or hurt on gameday. Makes sense to me...protect assets and maximize trade deadline cap flexibility.

Man I sure hope not as that other player is most likely EP2.0 and like i said our pipeline really isn't that good aside from a couple of guys.

I was more excited about this deal before we waived Brannstrom. Ah well. They've been trying to move Poolman's salary for a while and it's finally done. I feel bad for Poolman. Hopefully he can function normally while spending his millions.

Has Brannstrom been that bad? I thought he might have been a good fit alongside one of our trees.

Brannstrom just didn’t put together a standout camp for Colorado, and had some rough moments defensively in preseason play. Competing for a bottom pairing job with the likes of Calvin De Haan, Oliver Kylington and Sam Malinski, Brannstrom was soundly outperformed by perhaps his most comparable competition for a job in Malinski.

With the claiming of John Ludvig, a more physical breed of defenseman from the Pittsburgh Penguins yesterday, it crowded the competition even further.

Avalanche trade Erik Brannstrom to Canucks for Tucker Poolman

Brannstrom signed with Colorado on July 2nd

Yeah would hate to trade guys like that away. Could also be guys from this last draft if any of them exceeds expectations

I guess time will tell.

Given the Canucks schedule, the Canucks can actually start with over 2m in capspace. First day of the regular season is on Tuesday. Canucks can leave Demko as active and start Silovs & Raty in the AHL. On Wednesday, place Demko on IR and recall Silovs and Raty. Send down Raty the next day. Recall him for Friday. Then send him down for the three day break before the road trip. Won't be able to play this game during the 8 day road trip but have a 10 day home stand immediately afterward where they can accrue extra space on 7 of those days. Follow that up with a 7 day road trip then a 15 day homestand with 9 off-days.

If the roster can remain healthy for this time they'll actually do pretty well on capspace accrual.

They could continue to send Silovs down on off days as well I believe. He'll still get paid the same, just a paper move.

 

[Wisp]

Good omen to get rid of the last Jim Benning UFA contract still on the team as the season starts.

Have to have two goalies on the roster so with Demko on IR they can’t send Silovs down.

If they don't put Demko on IR they can do it.

Tanev light RE: missing significant time due to injury. In fact, his Canuck tenure could be arguably described as Tanev heavy since he played like 5 games.

I never thought about that, LOL

Maybe thats why they were saying Tanev light was the injuries.

 

[Ernie]

Yeah that was what I was thinking. The problem would be with both Silovs and Raty up and Demko on the roster, they'd be at 24. Might be worth waiving Friedman or Juulsen in order to accrue that space. They could probably slip one of them through tomorrow once all the teams have set their rosters.

If they have the cap space to absorb a contract without any money going back they might land an impact player for a lot less than a 1st and 3rd.

 

[arttk]

I think that IS the rate for an impact player without retention.

I do love the fact we are having this kind of debate.

 

[sting101]

So Kuzmenko Mikhayev Lafferty Podkolzin (11.65m) and Poolman (2m) (13.65 total cap) all unable to help us in playoff games has been upgraded/altered to Debrusk Heinen Sherwood Bains (10m) who should be able to and have track records of being good in playoff hockey.

All for a 2nd rounder for 4th back.
Unreal

 

[VanJack]

As usual, Allvin operates two-steps ahead of his next move. The trade of Podkolzin to the Oilers was head-scratching, if you take it in isolation.

But we can see now the method in the madness. They sent a fourth rounder (probably the one they acquired for Podkolzin) and $500,000 to the Av's for Brannstrom and $2m on Poolman's contract. Then Brannstrom goes on waivers, and they have another experienced d-man for the farm, assuming he clears.

Brannstrom is probably closer to returning to Europe to play than he is ever helping the Canucks. But you can't argue with shedding $2m in cap space and actually operating under the salary cap for the first time in years.
