cap space can fix everything or make it go horribly wrong-

Baertschi Horvat Boesser
Sutter Tavares Eriksson
Elias Pettersson Statsny Gaudette

Elder Stecher
Gubbrandson Tanev




pretty solid core. 12M for Tavares 7 M for Statsny and they still have 6M left

The Canucks were staying within striking distance of the Flames. after 32 games the Flames were up 1 pt on the Canucks and both about 4-5 pts out of the last wildcard spot. Then the Canucks ran out of players... they had over 10M of cap on the IR over the year.
