Don't worry about the Canucks cap issues, we have a capologist whose a genius at making everyone fit under the cap.
If we cant keep everyone, we'll simply buyout Booth and Ballard plus Luongo gone next summer = 15m of cap space freed up.
Also Alberts 1.2m will be gone, Derek Roy 5m that give us 21m.
The Canucks have no cap issues.  |
You do realize the cap goes down to $64.3m next year right? Roy's 5m means nothing as he is a late addition rental for sure.
Here's something to chew on, The Canucks have 15 players signed next year with a $62.9m cap hit,this leaves $1.4m for at least 7 players.(only a 22 player roster)
Lets say you somehow get someone to take Luongo's contract without taking a contract back(good luck) and buy out Booth and Ballard you'll still only have $15m in cap space for 10 players, say goodbye to Raymond, Alberts and Lapierre.
BTW, the Sedins will be 33 years old to start next season. Toilet team in 2 years.
