Having Hughes and Petterson up for a new contract makes me anxious, and I'm not even a Nucks fan.

Also, am I blind? Or did you just decide that Loui doesn't play anymore. Edit: Found him, buried contract.

with the cap situation it is pretty wild that they handed holtby that contract and traded for schmidt.

added 10.25 million to the cap without moving any and both will be on the books for pettersson and hughes contract years.

with this team you have 24 million in cap for next year with only 12 players signed. You need to sign 11 players and 2 of them are hughes and pettersson.

To save yourself $$$ by going to therapy, the overwhelming school of thought is to face your anxiety & fears head on, do not ignore them or pretend they do not exist.

The Nucks shored up their defence a bit with Schmidt, as well as their goaltending with Holtby.

You also have a very solid 1st F line.

Where you might run into some trouble is in the F depth with lines 2-4.
Unfortunately, you do not have much $$$ to work with.
Maybe Ericksson will have an offseason fishing or winter sports accident and have to go on LTIR?

But keep posting, you are 50 posts in, by post 100, you just might cure those anxious feelings.

(or it might take another year of salary management, with the Seattle expansion. cap increase, etc. etc. etc.).

If Vancouver is going to use Virtanen to dump a player it needs to be one of Beagle, Roussel or Eriksson.

It seems of the current group, Virtanen is most expendable (hasn't quite lived up to his original hype/ceiling).
WIth Virts and a high pick, they maybe able to unload Eriksson.
Or with him and a mid-level pick to unload Beagle/Roussel.

Baer can no longer be bought out.
