It took a competitive training camp, injuries, trades and other maneuvers to get the Canucks to be cap compliant. Read more about these maneuvers and cap master Laurence Gilman's comments here. Frankly, I'm glad this whole fiasco is about over. Now the final moves to finalize the roster will occur, including signing Peter Schaefer tomorrow. The deal will be a 1-year, 2-way deal that will pay Schaefer $600,000. So much for surprises. Nice work, Gordon McIntyre!

We should hear about Cody Hodgson's fate very soon.
