Apparently Vancouver has offered a 1st round pick to dump Erikssons full contract. But its still proving difficult. So in this scenario Vancouver is retaining $1.5M of 25% of the remaining caphit. This would mean the team that takes him would have either $4.5M cap hit this year and next but in actual money would be much cheaper due to Vancouver already paying this years Bonus. If whoever Vancouver trades him to plays him this year and buys L.E out next year it will be $3M year 1 and 750k the 2nd year. While Vancouver would be on the hook for $1M and 250k. This seems pretty fair imo

Sutter will be bought out only if Virtanen is awarded arbitration and Vancouver has a second buyout window open.

Bonus would be if Baertschi does not want to play another year in the AHL that him and the Canucks agree to a mutual termination of the contract that would alleviate the remaining $2,291,666 in cap space that would make almost all of Vancouver's potential bonuses covered.
