So while this trade is far from groundbreaking, the two teams have helped each other out a bit. As there was no real AHL plan for Hordichuk, there was no real AHL plan for Peters with Vancouver and thus, it looks like the Canucks will simply send Andrew Peters back to Rochester. So they're much happier losing the cap hit and saving the money. Why is this relevant to the Panthers?Īndrew Peters is on a two-way contract and Vancouver really doesn't need him, just like they no longer need Hordichuk.
Since he wasn't going to make the Canucks roster - and he already cleared waivers - the Canucks would still have been on the hook for his salary had he been assigned to Manitoba.
The trade helps Vancouver with cap space by freeing up $775k, but it also shaves off close to three-quarters of a million dollars in actual payroll as Hordichuk is on a one-way contract.
Not long after clearing waivers, the Panthers announced that they had traded fighter Andrew Peters to the Vancouver Canucks for former Panthers enforcer Darcy Hordichuk.
