WADE FLAHERTY, seen here during t the AHL. playotts :

’ earlier this year, found himself “stuck” in Winnipeg de-
spite the Canucks’ loss‘of Dan Cloutier, thanks to the

NHL's new collective bargaining agreement.

oO

. “At 37, I didn’ t want to

"give up $40,000,” Flaherty ;

said. :
“I made the right decision.

at the time for me and my -
family — who knew. Cloutier ©

would be out for the year?”
Flaherty, who would

make ‘the NHL-minimum

$450,000 with the big club,

‘said he would have to be with

the Canucks for 17 games
to make up the $40,000 he
would have relinquished.
The 17-year professional
said Canucks general man-
ager Dave Nonis had talked
with him and explained the
situation — that with several
NHL teams experiencing in-

_jury problems in goal, Nonis |

felt Flaherty would be lost
on waivers. ,
. -With Cloutier on- injured
reserve and his $2.5-million

» contract not counting toward _
the salary cap, Flaherty said’

a call-up to the NHL team
was more likely. :
“I could get a call (from

said Flaherty. “For me, it’s a°
win-win situation. We play -

the game to be in the NHL
and in a perfect world I'd be
playing with the Canucks.”

Flaherty indicated to the
Terrace Standard before this
season that he might balk at
moving to another organiza-
tion at this point in his career
but he changed his tune.

“Ts there a chance I could
be taken on waivers? Yah,
but so be it,” said Flaherty.

“We're having success

and.I’m having fun,” added .

Flaherty, who said fam-
ily from Terrace and Prince

George would be joining ©
him in.Vancouver over the,

holidays. .

As the Manitoba start-
er, Flaherty went into last

record of 12 wins, 7 losses
