from Ben Kuzma of the Vancouver Province,
A rise in the NHL salary cap doesn’t mean the Canucks will publicly commit to spending to the new $56.7 million US ceiling.
General manager Mike Gillis, who now has $21.6 million in cap space heading into the free-agency and contract season, said there are too many variables to accurately predict how much the club will spend....
“I don’t want to be held to that standard and it’s our intention to get the best players,” he said. “It [stating a payroll total] is not a policy matter and that’s why I’m reluctant. It’s dependent on things that happen and at this point I don’t know how things will unfold.”
