• Guillaume Brisebois, Defenceman
• Loui Eriksson, Left Wing
• Tyler Graovac, Left Wing

Does this mean no taxi squad for Eriksson or Baertschi....if so, interesting.

 

[Canadian Canuck]

Finally!!! Rejoice!!!

End of an era

Cap was the reason most likely, had a good camp

 

[Bgav]

Let’s go!!! Best news ever

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Damn!
Have to retire my Loui Eriksson jersey!
At least my Jay Beagle one is still available.

 

[Canucks LB]

Today is the day we have all been waiting for, how does it feel?

They both could still be taxi squad bound. You still have to clear waivers to head to the taxi squad if you are waiver eligible.

Man. So many players on waivers today - and a few useful depth guys, to boot. I've always liked Jujar Khaira out of Edmonton. Too bad we have a glut of forwards.

Does this mean Rathbone made the taxi squad?

 

[GetFocht]

Goodbye Eriksson.

Kylington on waivers too

Luke Schenn on waivers

 

[Fatass]

Taxi squad for Loui though? He will clear waivers for sure, and then put on the taxi squad. Then, don’t be too shocked when he’s back in the lineup. (Puke emoji)

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

The biggest moment in Canucks history since Burrows G2 goal in the SCF!!!

 

[Fatass]

Can a guy be claimed off waivers and put on our taxi squad, or dies he have to be on the active roster?

 

[Canucks LB]

Now the big question is, taxi squad or Utica

Very surprised. Obviously very happy. He has to be bound for the taxi squad unless there's some internal issue that prevents it.

Feel bad for Beartschi. From all reports he busted his ass during training camp.

I hope no team takes a chance on Bailey. A team could probably get 2-3 really good 4th line seasons from him and I'd like it to be the Canucks.

 

[Blueangel1891]

Which GM's family do we have to kidnap to claim his ass?

 

[bobbyb2009]

I bet it simply means he is headed to the taxi squad, but it would show serious courage to send him to Utica and see if he would ask t0 get out to head back to Sweden to finish his career.

I think he is still owed something close to 5 million over 2 years. With higher escrow and tax, I bet that is less than 2 million net. Couldn't he make close to that playing for 2 years in Sweden?

 

[Tables of Stats]

This is a good sign. They're giving the kids an extra look before cutting them while assigning vets that they've seen enough of.

These players could all still be on the taxi squad as well, though for some that's more likely than for others.

Today is the day we have all been waiting for, how does it feel?

I legitimately thought I was being bamboozled. Now? I'm humbled and will spend the day with family to celebrate what the good Lord has blessed us with on this Holy day.

January 11, 2021. AKA 01-11-21. Let us rejoice!
