Wait... you are retaining salary? With what cap?
There are no more "lower end teams" looking to fill out their roster or get to the cap floor. Teams want sweeteners like 1sts. I think you are being very optimistic on Canucks cap situation.
Not sure I get your point. Canucks have zero cap issue whatsoever next season. They can sign their players and still be right at the cap, even if it doesn't increase, without moving on from any bad deals. Run your numbers. There is no issue at all, unless you consider losing a guy like Stecher, Fantenberg, Schaller or Leivo a huge loss.
If they are looking to add a top 6 like I suggested, they will need to free up some space though.
Following year gets tougher with EP and Hughes needing new deals. They will need to get out from the Louie Eriksson deal. I agree, it will cost, and really hurt. I'd value Hoglander higher than a 1st, but if you'd rather it be a first, go for it.
