people are overreacting to the Salary issues going forward
they have 15 players signed for 62.9m next year
Luongo/Booth/Ballard make up 14m of that
absolute worst case scenario they can buyout B and B, put Luongo on Waivers
suddenly they have 12 players signed to 48m, add in 3-4 ELCs and suddenly they have 12m to sign 6 or so players
not in danger at all

12 million to sign 6 players including a back up goalie, and likely 3 top 9 wingers is not great. Plus Tanev and Schroeder are likely in line for raises.
Not saying the Canucks will have to blow it up, but they won't be nearly as deep as years past.
