we also got a 3rd round pick……
Makes it even better. I forgot about that.

Honestly the prospect depth isn't a problem right now, we have so many international prospect which I'd actually good, europe is constantly under scouted and some gems come out of no where.
Benning has the ability to sigh another player for 2-4M because he can "officially" sign Hughes on opening day after Ferland is placed on LTIR on opening day, because right now Ferlands cap hit still counts against the cap until he is placed on IR during opening day.
Personally I'd love to add a Kase, Ritchie or Heinen. Youngish guys on 1 year deals on a show me deal, yeah you wont be able to resign them but they would be in a good spot to rebound playing on a 2nd or 3rd line here.
I think our focus should be resigning our RFA’s… and if a cheap option presents itself a bit later than maybe. But also not opposed to just having a little cap wiggle room either.Honestly the prospect depth isn't a problem right now, we have so many international prospect which I'd actually good, europe is constantly under scouted and some gems come out of no where.

Ferland isnt on LTIR rn, so his salary counts towards the cap right nowThe prospect pool sucks and is bottom-five in the NHL.
Ferland will have no bearing on Hughes as his contract is cheaper than what Hughes will be. You can't use Ferland's LTIR to sign Hughes.
It's been a legendary off-season. This is one we will reflect back on in a few years and think it was a pivotal change in Canucks trajectory

You have to wait till day 1 of the regular season to put him on LTIR, since Hughes cant be Offer Sheeted, dont officially sign him till day 1 of the season(when you put Ferland on LTIR), you can essentially use Ferlands salary to sign another player and be cap compliant because Hughes isnt technically signed until after Ferland Is on LTIR
