Hot take. Our record this year will be better than any season we had under Benning. But I guess that isn't saying alot lol!
You think they’re going to finish with better than 101 points and 2nd in the division?

As good of a guess as you'll see. Canucks Army has been been hit-or-miss with cap stuff in the past so we'll see. The SOIR stuff is interesting, one of those rules I've forgotten about.
Cap geek has us 1.5 million above the cap with 22 players on the roster and 5 injuries and 1 LTIR contract, with DiGiuseppi, Myers, Boeser, Dermott and Mikheyev injured and Plasek on the roster, along with 7 D and 13 forwards.
If DiGiuseppi can be sent down while injured, he and Plasek give us the cap space and we can keep Karlsson when Boeser rejoins the game day roster.
If not, the safest way to do this would be to send Rathbone down (ugh) until such a time that we can start sending injured/injury replacement players down.
My longer term solution based on limited viewing of Stillman would be to have he and Dermott sent down (for max cap savings) along with Karlsson (when Boeser is back) Plasek and DiGiuseppi (longer term) and keep Burroughs/Poolman (which ever is not playing) as a spare RHD, have Rathbone back up and keep Joshua as a spare forward to sub in and out with whomever as needed.
With Dickinson gone, we have a little more flexibility, so I am not worried about how we will get cap compliant. I just don't want to lose someone valuable to waivers.

I see MacEwen was waived by Philly. I know we don’t have any room for additional forwards, really, but I like MacEwen a lot. Hope he gets an opportunity somewhere.

It is needlessly elaborate. As funny as it was to see the Labrie signing yesterday, those types of moves shouldn't be needed to navigate a "hard" salary cap.
the canucks army article is pretty good but the canucks should be able to do way better than just sending down karlsson and rathbone and putting ferland on ltir. that leaves like 1.7 mil in potential cap space wasted
if you just move dermott and myers to regular ir you can start the season with woo and karlsson on the roster and ferland on ltir. you 'waste' about a million in cap. if you start mikheyev on ir too you can add klimovich and get within 100k of the cap. then you demote woo and klimovich and call up rathbone and you have 900k in effective cap space with a 23 man roster

I find the NFL's pretty simple, it's just.. different. But yes, outside of this opening day/IR stuff the NHL is pretty basic.

Hughes is clearly injured. The amount of times maintenance days have turned into long or short term injuries is more than I can count. Good to see Garland back, even if he I think he's bang up as well.
Take Hughes out of that line up and man that defence is sketchy. That said, I like Rathbone and Schenn as a third pairing. When all are healthy it will likely be:
Hughes-Schenn
OEL-Myers
Rathbone-Dermott
Stillman-Burroughs
That’s actually not that bad. Still an area to improve on but serviceable.

Hughes is likely sick, there is a flu/cold virus roaming around right now.
Based on BB's line-up you can basically plug in Boeser/Mikheyev into the line-up and looks like Hughes will play on the right side.
Opening night roster (if all goes well)
Pearson-Miller-Boeser
Podkolzin-Horvat-Garland
Kuzmenko-Pettersson-Mikheyev
Joshua-Lazar-Hoglander
OEL-Hughes
Rathbone-Schenn
Stillman-Burroughs
Poolman
I am really liking that third pairing
EDIT: looks he was sick

I suspect Boeser will be ready for game one but Mikheyev won’t. Most likely see Aman play but Karlsson out. Will be interesting if they keep Karlsson on the roster if he’s not going to get any games.
Still very strange Poolman wasn’t waived just to get more space.
I got sick 3 weeks ago. After one week I developed a sinus infection. Once I started recovering from that I got laryngitis. So now I have laryngitis and a sinus infection. It’s actually why I’ve been so active these past 3 weeks, don’t have the energy to do much more than browse the forum.

It looks pretty bad to me. I don't see any case to be made for the RD situation. Myers-Dermott-Schenn/Burroughs would be fine as the 2-3-4 on that side; as 1-2-3 that's a seriously weak group.

You never want to hear that anybody is sick, but I am glad that Hughes is not injured per se....
The two players we absolutely can’t afford to lose for any period of time are Hughes and Demko. Others we can probably weather for a while.
