Lazy bum Loui packed it in well before this season.
I cannot believe Benning acquired this lazy meatball from Boston for his "offensive" skill.
Loui only scored 38 goals in this past four seasons with the Canucks.

He has been crap for a while now. | Since the 2013 CBA, you only get cap relief equal to the 2-way contract maximum (which was $0.925M at the time but is now $1.075M. The problem is that you generally need to recall a player in his place and that player will have a minimum cap hit of $0.700M, so the maximum possible cap savings is $0.375M.

I can't remember the exact number but last year, burying Loui in the minors was only like $1.1M in cap relief. This year with an abbreviated season, him (apparently) showing up out of shape, and the emergence of Hoglander being a viable option has made it imperative to push Loui out.
edit: jmac is always more well versed than I when it comes to cap numbers

Oh let me get this straight so technically even burying him in the minors we would still be paying his cap of $4.925M AND have to add another bum to the squad?
I wonder what happened to Perry, he was signed for league minimum to be a veteran presence for MTL and still got waived before playing a single game? Did he decline that much that he's not even worth less than a mill?

Did he decline that much that he's not even worth less than a mill? | And he doesn't have to pay into escrow, so he actually makes substantially more money (although his salary this season is only a pro-rated $1M; he got a $3M signing bonus already, so it's not like he'd lose a ton to escrow either way).
Perry was never a good skater even when he was winning scoring titles. He's still a solid net-front presence, but he's more of a 4th line/PP2 guy these days. I don't follow Montreal but I'm guessing he couldn't keep up.

I think the only reason why he even played last year was for Bo to carry his ass and show he isnt completely useless for a trade but obviously there was no takers. Maybe Jmac can chime in but also the Aquilinis would have to pay him more actual cash playing in the AHL rather than this NHL season. Something about how the NHL will withhold 20% of a players money cause of the pandemic to ensure the owners get there fair share, where as the AHL doesnt have that tax on players . So i wouldnt be surprised if Loui he was on the taxi squad.
I heard Montreals capologist screwed up and they over spent so i guess they have to shed salary
edit* Jmac already chimed in

I can't be alone in thinking we should have let Jake walk and sign Toffoli with that money. I guess this is Jake's last chance to prove he belongs. I'll give him a fair shake this season to see what he's worth.

Hamonic 1 x $1.25M, full NMC

Excited for Canucks hockey tonight - too bad Miller isn't playing, it screws up all the forward lines. Petey played all of last year with him so it will be interesting to see how he is with Virtanen :/
If the Canucks can take 2 wins out of this road trip to start the season, it should be considered a success.

I didn't realize that I was looking at the roster and not forward lines for tonight. Beagle with Horvat and Petey?  | |

At some point you need to realize he just doesn't have the hockey IQ or work ethic to become a good NHL player.
