Vancouver Canucks GM Patrik Allvin sends Arshdeep Bains & Erik Brannstrom back down to AHL Abbottsford

To some, this could sound concerning, but in reality, this move is only on paper, and you can expect the pair to be in the lineup for their next game on Monday (October 28th) against the Carolina Hurricanes.

Many are asking what is the purpose of sending them down to the minors (on paper) so often? By doing these "Yo-Yo" moves, Vancouver can expand their cap due to the fact that each NHL clubs payroll is calculated on a daily basis. So essentially, by "sending them down", the Canucks will save a little on the cap.

This is the second time that Patrik Allvin has done this as just this past Friday Bains and Brannstrom were sent down, but were back on the roster ready for the game against the Pittsburgh Penguins last night (October 26th).

Some fans have been pretty vocal online saying that with how well they are playing, they deserve the paycheck as well, and some don't even understand this is what the team is doing.

What do you think about NHL teams doing this to save on cap?
