burrows has 1 year left. but his buyout would be more because of salary. possibly because he's 35+ now as well?
etem qo at 775k is decent.
Brett Connolly didn't get a qo offer from bruins. would be interesting if we could acquire his rights and get him in the AHL next year to centre virtanen
His buyout would be about the same (~$0.3M like I said) because Burrows had a front-loaded contract while Higgins was paid the same every year.
The cap hit is AAV + Buyout$ - Salary
Higgins had 1 year remaining with a $2.5M cap hit, $2.5M owed in salary. The buyout would be 2/3 of remaining salary spread over double the term (so 1/3 each year for 2 years, or $0.833M
2.5 + 0.833 - 2.5 = $0.833M, which saves the Canucks $1.67M in cap hit this year, but they'll be penalized $0.833M next season.
Burrows had 1 year remaining with a $4.5M cap hit, $3.0M owed in salary. The buyout would be $1M x 2 years.
4.5 + 1 - 3 = $2.5M, which saves the Canucks $2.0M in cap hit this season, but they'll be penalized $1.0M next season.
A lot of kids don't come to the draft if they're expected to be a late-round pick (he was projected to be anywhere from a mid-3rd to a mid-7th according to his prospect page). It's expensive to make the trip.

I just got a good laugh at Benning's clueless reaction when he found out Lockwood wasn't there

Mayor Moonbeam reportedly talked to Lucic about signing in Vancouver.
I was at Kinetic clinics in Burnaby last year for my back injury. They specialize in sports medicine, and have a ton of clients who are NHL players. As I walked out of my appointment, I recognized the guy coming in after me. It was Lucic, and damn, he is a huge man.
It was around the time the Bruins didn't make the playoffs, so I didn't ask him any smartass questions. But he spends a lot of time in the lower mainland already.
It would be cool to see Lucic in a Canucks uniform. But if there is any chance that we could get Stammer, I'd go all in on that.
I don't think that's in doubt.
Everyone would love to see Lucic bring his game and his snarly personality to the Canucks, myself included.
What's making that impossible is the term he's asking for.
I'd be ok with committing a fairly big cap hit to him for a 2-3 year deal, at the most 4 years. He wants a long term (6+ years) big bucks contract that just doesn't fit in with the direction the Canucks should be going. That and I'd be willing to put money that he'll pretty much be an ineffective 4th liner by the time the last couple of years of a long term contract kicks in.

Sonick is a genius. I won't go into detail what's so great about his post. But it's damn good!

The last thing Edmonton needs is forwards. But on the other hand, Lucic is a completely different player than RNH, Yakupov, McDavid, Eberle, etc.
Still no idea who is going to play defense on that team.
It will sting a bit at the start, but I'm sure Canucks fans won't be crying in a couple years when Lucic' production drops and the Oilers are still paying him $6+ million a year.
