We had a rugged dman prospect in luc bourdon (RIP). Giving up Bieksa for a prospect would be wicked! Apparently next years draft is deep so if we could get a first rounder that would be nuts...
Anyone know how many first rounders Florida has next year?

If it does, I will kiss Mike Gillis right on the mouth because that is an incredible deal.
Think about it...Tinordi was the guy we wanted in the draft. When we couldn't get him, we traded for Ballard.
That means:
We get: Ballard, Tinordi
For: Bieksa, Bernier, Grabs
Bieksa salary off the books and a huge, blue chip D-man prospect who was a fucking beast for the US in the WJC. Make no mistake...Bieksa will not be playing for the Canucks this year barring some kind of ridiculous miracle so we're basically getting Tinordi for nothing.

I think one of the main issues is that Montreal is having cap issues as well so it's a long shot. But you gotta love rumors like this man I love the off season.

The NHL has rejected Ilya Kovalchuk's 17-year, $102 million contract with the New Jersey Devils on the grounds that it circumvents the NHL's salary cap.
Kovalchuk was slated to earn $95 million over the first 10 years of the deal and then just $7 million over the last seven seasons. That would translate to an annual cap hit of $6 million per year.
TSN Insider Darren Dreger explains that the deal was rejected due to the fact that the NHL does not believe that either Kovalchuk nor the Devils expected the 2004 Rocket Richard trophy winner would be playing near end of the contract and that it is a case of artificially lowering the annual average value of the contract. The Devils must now either file the contract once again or the Players' Association can file a grievance.
Should the NHLPA decide to file a grievance, the contract would remain dead until an arbitrator determines otherwise.
The current CBA explains circumvention as the following in section 26.3:
(a) No Club or Club Actor, directly or indirectly, may: (i) enter into any agreements, promises, undertakings, representations, commitments, inducements, assurances of intent, or understandings of any kind, whether express, implied, oral or written, including without limitation, any SPC, Qualifying Offer, Offer Sheet or other transaction, or (ii) take or fail to take any action whatsoever, if either (i) or (ii) is intended to or has the effect of defeating or Circumventing the provisions of this Agreement or the intention of the parties as reflected by the provisions of this Agreement, including without limitation, provisions with respect to the financial and other reporting obligations of the Clubs and the League, Team Payroll Range, Player Compensation Cost Redistribution System, the Entry Level System and/or Free Agency.
The 27-year-old rejected a $101 million, 12-year extension from the Atlanta Thrashers before being dealt to the Devils in February.
Kovalchuk had 41 goals and 44 assists last season, including 10 goals and 17 assists with the Devils.

^DiPietro's contract is 15 years, but he has the same salary throughout.
I think it was Zetterberg's contract that started the loophole of lowering cap hit: http://www.capgeek.com/players/display.php?id=281

I don't know why you think its nonsense. As a GM of a team, it's your JOB to find these loopholes and work around them. There's a reason why the Canucks hired a capologist specifically for that purpose.

Now that Kovalchucks contract is void with the devils, what would it take for the Canucks to sign him? Could we unload a couple big contracts and depend on the younger rookies to fill the roles of players like samuelson, kesler, erhoff to get a shot at signing Kovy?
