he needs to think about his quality of life after hockey. you have to think back to the playoffs. what was the play that knocked him out of the game? no one seems to be able to pin down anything specific that would cause another concussion. he can't play his game anymore if he feels symptoms reoccurring so easily.
I didn’t say he would, I said go on medical ie: LTIR and then retire after
If Lou Lamoriello was your gm, he would make him an offer he couldn't refuse. Robidas Island has been needing a new caretaker. Loui Eriksson would be in witness protection.
Not sure the logic in letting Leivo walk for $875/year. I liked the guy.
Just had major, potentially-career impacting injury (shattered knee cap). Missed 9 months and Benning said he might have been an option if the Canucks had made the Stanley Cup Finals (so at least 10 months).
I liked his drive and effort with us his boards work would make Virtanen a much better player...
But if you watched his Twitter feed (which he deleted a tonne of posts from) before he seemed like a bit of a knob, acting like he’s king shit and hanging with Matthews trying to be a party boy etc... pretty big ego though
so two things happened over the weekend. canucks chose to NOT buy out anyone and benning told the media (province, i believe) that the kids will get a chance to play D. that's likely rafferty/chatfield/juolevi. the debate now is whether this was planned or it's a product of being so handcuffed lol.
so, the assumption is baertschi continues to be buried in the AHL and that loui is likely to be sent down too. that gives us $2mil+ in cap relief.
Loui actually might not hate being sent down besides the luxury items being taken away. AHL players don’t have to pay escrow so he gets a bigger chunk of his bloated ass salary every pay day.
Not that it ever looks like he “cares” about much of anything............

Zero point in buying anyone out in the second window. Already missed out on everyone decent. Who would they sign with the extra money?
This would indicate that Leivo would rather play with a bunch of players that disappear during playoffs (asides from Tkachuk) but they do have Marky and Tanev now LOL

Rumour was signing a d man like Vatanen or Hamonic. I'm not saying they should have waived someone, simply that they could have if they wanted to make a move.
Hell, they could have let Jake walk, waive Sutter, keep Toffoli and still have some room to play with.
id rather play the kids than the leftover scraps really...those kids need some experience and are not getting any younger.....besides we should keep a D slot open for the expansion draft to take advantage of another team that risks losing someone good in the back end for nothing
