A time machine. Go back to July 1st, 2016 and don’t give him that contract.
I’m still trying to perfect mine so the hawks don’t sign seabrook for 8 damn years.

Marleau buyout cost $3.83m.
Though the wallets are tighter now and I don’t think two 2nds will cut it to completely dump Loui. Minimum a 1st and might have to add, or take bad stuff back instead and not get the full cap dump.
Whoops I misread the buyout. The. $833K after bonus is not per year.
Carolina Hurricanes buy out Patrick Marleau five days after trade
So $4M cash is worth a 1st.
This is the most reasonable trade if we didn’t have the pandemic. $4M dead cash for a 2nd... won’t entice an owner. Marleau buyout cost $4.6M for the first ... spread out over two years. I suspect it will cost Canucks two 1sts.
You didn’t read it properly
Vancouver gives up 2 2nds with LE st $4M
Team A gets a 2nd to retain $2M cap space over 2 yrs
Team B ends up with LE at $2M and a 2nd
I think the best bet is to convince Eriksson to retire and then the Canucks hire him as a scout for the money he would have made (or a little more). Eriksson still gets paid, Canucks lose his cap hit.
Problem is,,he wants to play...I say keep sitting him out until he starts to cry like a baby,then wants out...I think the best bet is to convince Eriksson to retire and then the Canucks hire him as a scout for the money he would have made (or a little more).

LOL he is still owed 5 mil.
they gonna make him the highest paid scout in NHL history by far?
also this is cap circumvention. bye bye 1st rd picks the next couple years
Zetterberg and Hossa both are on long term injured reserve with contracts that will expire in 2021. Luongo retired, and gave Florida cap space. If Luongo went on LTIR, there would not be this issue.
That is why there has been no enforcement of the recapture penalty on other teams.
Chicago will not have any recapture penalty with seabrook.
Only contracts signed before 2013 are subject to Cap Recapture. Seabrook’s deal was signed in 2015.
"LTIR" is my concern. Zetterberg perhaps, but Hossa became allergic to his equipment the second his contract became a burden? I mean the timing on that screams suspicious.
Gaudette + Eriksson + Benn + 2nd for Acciari + Stralman
Neal 750 retained so 5 million a year . Saves the Canucks a million but adds an extra year cost the 7 million instead of 5.75 but gets them out of a contract a year earlier .
Loui is a six million dollar per season popcorn eating press-box chair filler.Eriksson is a benchwarmer. 10 goal scorer at best.
The NHL warned teams that the loophole would be closed, if the player retired early. And still gave teams an out...get the player to agree to go on LTIR. If you are mad at anyone, get mad at Luongo for helping the Panthers lower their salary cap, by retiring instead of going on LTIR, which would have helped the team that gave him the big contract with the big dollars up front.
