  1. There should be a mandated limit of tanev trade threads.

     

    Tanev is not worth a first round pick!!!!

     

    Hate to break it, nobody is going to give that for 50 games of a guy with little offensive upside.

     

    Just look at what the Blackhawks got for Hjalmarsson.

      maybe, but a lot of players haven't had many full seasons either. Tanev is an excellent fit on a number of teams, he would have been a difference maker for TO. And he does have 16 playoff games under his belt.

      How does this work?

    2. Baer.

      Baer.

      It's pretty hard to explain in one short post but I sim using a game called Eastside Hockey Manager, then I post the sims here on CDC. we have our own separate site where you can make roster moves and see others' rosters. We have been doing it for a few years now and we are about to start our 5th installation of the series. Typically we try to go for 10 seasons.

       

      It's basically a 31-man Be A Gm mode. Drafts, free agency, the works.

  4. Pekka Rinne should get MVP consideration. He's been beast mode last few weeks.

  5. Would eleminating one bench door, or only allowing the doors to be opened when the play is dead, be even a feasible solution to prevent what happened to Boeser and other players alike?

     

    They were talking about it on NHL Tonight. I don't think it's a terrible idea but are there any other solutions? Is a solution even needed?

    1. Drive-By Body Pierce

      Drive-By Body Pierce

      Its always terrible seeing these types of accidents to any player.

       

      Going to a single door is a possibility with rested players just coming over the boards, and some additional shuffling coming on to the bench... it would just make every period into something closer to the 2nd period with the so-called "long change", at least in my opinion. Either that, or moving the door to the middle of the bench, in which case, the 2nd period becomes even more of a "long change".

       

      But still, there is a single door that can be left open, or pushed open at the wrong time when not properly secured...

       

      And, locking the door could lead to dead-tired players not being able to get off the ice and leading to injury of themselves or others while trying to get over the boards in reverse.

       

      Its a tough scenario, and a situation where I think each team, and every player, just needs to be as vigilante as possible looking out for the well being of others. Its very difficult to predict who could collide with the open doors; it could potentially be any teams' star player, or any players' friend, or even just another human being heading for a high percentage catastrophic collision. 

  6. Boeser out 4-6 weeks, McAvoy out for 4 weeks. Barzal a lock for Calder now.

      missed the game but saw the sportsnet video, scary looking. really unlucky.

    2. Nucker 67

      Nucker 67

      Yes, that kid is a hot-doggin' show-off, but he is good. Lucky for him he's playing on a good Isles team and has stayed healthy. Oh well, McDavid never won the Calder either (also health issues)

    3. Baer.

      Baer.

      I wouldn't call the Islanders good. He plays with Beauvillier and Eberle so he's easily the best player on that line.

  7. Looks like Jokinen will slot in next to the Sedins against Islanders. No Baertschi, Goldy healthy scratch.

      Not a huge deal if it's one game. If Goldobin sits multiple games in a row, then it becomes a bit of a concern.

    4. Undrafted

      Undrafted

      Green already said post-TDL that if the young guys don't perform, they don't play.  IMO, Goldobin's play away from the puck doesn't justify what he's done with the puck--hasn't done anything to make me a believer in him.  So I'm good with it

  8. I think Boeser still has a shot at the Calder. Sure, he's 12 points behind Barzal, but if he can catch up a bit, I think his goalscoring will keep him in the race. He's played 4 less games, and most of Barzal's points are secondary assists.

     

    I also think it's worth noting how good Charlie McAvoy has been for the Bruins. I would not be surprised in the least if he wins the Calder, but unfortunately, defensive ability is often overlooked when deciding the Calder.

      He could have used those games he was sat out.

    3. Mike Vanderhoek

      Mike Vanderhoek

      they will look at the numbers, but honestly the players Barzal has played with vs Boeser pretty much os the difference maker.

       

      Boeser should have the upper hand due to having to initiate production himself, being a goal scorer helps. Barzal has been able to dish off to player who can produce...so yeah.

       

      I would suggest:

       

      Boeser

      Barzal 

      McAvoy

       

      But all three are derserving.

    4. SliteriousBlackbeard

      SliteriousBlackbeard

      If boeser wins, I will get his named tattooed on my body. Quote me on it. That's how biased I believe the media and NHL are to American teams.

    I guess Byron Bitz wasnt available

      Bitz was actually super effective in his few games with them. I have no idea why he fell off the face of the earth after that season...

      neither is native to italy either

      so you must a an orthodox pizza traditionalist

      so just some dough and some nice tomato pizza sauce then, with a sprinkling of cheese ?   a bit bland for my taste overall

      Warhippy

      If we're picking 3-5 and Dahlin is gone I want no part of Boqvist.  I just do not see what everyone else sees in him.  If we're drafting a defenseman not named Dahlin i'd prefer Bouchard over Boqvist but if we're 3-5 you have to pick the BPA and that is one of Zadina/Tkachuk/Svechnikov but our needs are still greater on the LW and center than they are RW

       

      And as I see not a whole ton of difference between Zadina and Svechnikov I have to weigh it between Zadina and Tkachuk 

       

      My opinions only

    4. Green Building

      Green Building

      I understand, I'm just fed up with having $&!# defence, and drafting only one 1st round D prospect in forever won't change that.

      They're done for if MacKinnon is out. He was carrying them so hard.

      This will be a good opportunity to learn.. He got caught up running around after guys, and finally someone (Edler) wised up to his antics and protected himself, and Mckinnon took the worst of it.

    4. Alflives

      Alflives

      This Mackinnon injury is why big men like Edler are good to have.  They take hits, and injure guys doing so.  

      Really like the turn Mackinnon took this year.  He was exceptionally good after the Avs big fight a while back, where he pounded some guy.

      Add to that his salary of $925,000, he's made a total of $1,780,000 + a Car, + any other bonuses he might get (40 Goals? Calder Winner?) Kid could clear $2 million without breaking a sweat, as a rookie!

      Brock is going to be PAID when his ELC is over, like close to Kane/Toews/McDavid money. Feels good to have one of the best players in the league.

      Apparently Schedule A bonuses top out at $850K total.  http://theprovince.com/sports/hockey/nhl/vancouver-canucks/oh-boeser-canucks-rookie-plays-all-starring-role-at-nhl-showcase

       

      Totally agree on the last bit.  It would be nice if he signed for Draisaitl money though.

      WTF is going on? AM730 said there were 5 pedestrians hit this morning alone. Slow down, be alert. Cyclists, Pedestrians, Motorcyclists, make sure you were something that makes you seen. Assume you can't be seen and be careful. Motorists do the same.  

       

      Share the road folks.

      There is a pedestrian overpass right there and it was dark and very rainy. People should just use it to avoid these incidents.

      Gudbranson would walk at season's end. They wouldn't be interested. Also I think Hutton would be an upgrade over Connauton... Connauton and Schenn are both UFAs at the end of the year as well. I'd assume Hutton would be a future part of their roster. So I think Hutton makes more sense.

    3. Ghostsof1915

      Considering at one point he had 44 points, and is only 22 years old. I doubt they'd take our scraps for him.

      @debluvscanucks I live on the island, maybe I should look for something like that? Maybe I will just sell them and give the cash to charity.
