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

Theyll waive Bains, IR Joshua then recall Bains. Thus keeping 3 goalies, right?

Doubt it, Bains isn’t playing over Suter, Hoglander or Sherwood.

Yea I read puckpedia wrong. 14F doesnt include Joshua in their count

It gets interesting when Joshua gets back since you’re basically scratching one of the guys Iisted, who are all clear NHLers.

Brannstrom has apparently been atrocious during training camp.

Least we can bury him in the minors and almost ignore the entirety of his cap hit.

Still would need to get rid of someone else. Right now they have 26 players on the roster. Even after placing both Demko and Joshua on IR, still need to get rid of someone else.

Raty would be the easiest and has the highest chance of struggling as the season wears on

Colorado is going to love Poolman's tenacity.

 

[Blue and Green]

Oh for sure just hope that it doesn't cost EP2 and KK opportunity and it probably wont but also a little interested what they do with a couple of these guys

I like to think that the current braintrust won't allow the prospects to get bumped from the lineup unless they clearly aren't cutting it.

There are only three LHD remaining with the big club at the moment, so Brannstrom as the contract coming back to Vancouver makes sense. Hirose in my opinion is just a guy to fill in for injuries, players who get called up, occasional B2B relief or unacceptably weak prospect play. Brisebois is a wild card. Wolanin is a guy who could probably be given away to another organization if they are satisfied with the LD situation without him, which would require probably at least two of: Brannstrom looking like a capable #4 NHL LD, Brisebois being healthy and in respectable playing form, Kudryavtsev looking good enough that he could be called up if necessary.

He's as durable as their captain, what's not to like?

There are two issues with this. The first is they’d still need to waive one of Aman, Friedman, or Juulsen. The second is that I seriously doubt they’ll only have one regular goalie and one emergency goalie at home practices.

For sure there would be issues. I was just pointing out that it could be done. On days where Silovs wasn't going to practice anyway, it would be an easy way to accrue cap space.

The Benning mess is finally cleaned up . That’s disappointing that Brannstrom has been playing so poorly , I was hoping he would play on the bottom pairing but obviously Allvin knows what’s best

 

[Paulinbc]

The last of Benning's messes, right?

OEL

did you poo first though?

Pooping is very important.

Constantly.

I'm impressed.

 

[Paulinbc]

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

podkolzin has nothing to do with this deal.

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.

Must have. It wasn't too long ago that he was the next big thing in Ottawa.

 

[Spectrefire]

Brannstrom had pretty good underlying numbers on a really bad Sens team last year. Poor camp aside, I can definitely see this coaching staff being able to turn him around assuming he makes it through waivers.

This is the best meme for this forum.

I think we’ll be 1.2-1.3 below the cap after another forward goes.

I know, Im still not happy about it

He's an asset at $3M.

 

[Paulinbc]

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.

Couvy should simply be shortened to CVY. Make it simple and easy for everyone.

 

[Paulinbc]

Just shows how bad JB’s moves were. The number of assets the team has used to get off Dickinson, Poolman, and such.
At some point the Canucks need to find some young guys who can add something to the middle of their lineup.

Shouldn't have dumped Dickinson like they did though. Worst move R&A have made by far.

Nah, we should continue the VCR scheme with DVD, PVR, DVR, etc. just to mess with people.

 

[sting101]

Out of curiosity is this our 4th or the one we got from Chicago or Edmonton?

The Blu-Ray Canucks, I like it.

Does that mean Atlanta would be the HD DVD Thrashers?

Arizona lasted longer than Atlanta, so they would be the Laserdisc Coyotes?

PuckPedia has it listed as Vancouver's.

Bains and Raty are 'waiver exempt'......and now that the deadline for putting Aman on waivers has passed, it's basically down to those two guys.

Canucks Army speculating that it'll be Bains, who was the 'extra forward' at today's practice.

There goes da Poolma

I feel bad for Poolman and his concussion issues. I wish him well. That being said I still can't believe Benning signed him to that contract.

I feel bad he got injured but he sucked as a player before the injury (for us). Turned pretty much a 'career year" (his last season or so with his previous team) into the puke contract DimJim handed him. At least he was better than Tim Schaller who was only good at sucking oxygen (didn't hit, didn't check, little offensive ability, little defensive ability, didn't fight, etc., just 'was there').
