EP40 for captain...
-
Fantastic atmosphere at Rogers arena tonight!
-
Couldn't they just have younger players room with the veterans? This Fortnite ban on the road is just plain stupid.

No excuse for Jake Virtanen to not get at least 20 goals and 20 assists this season.

@Tom SestitoEven if hes paced to get 40 points Baer still hasn't done it. We can't say Boeser has scores 30 goals even though his pace says he could last season.
And Baer is more developed of a player than Virtanen

What to do with Loui Eriksson?

I'm reminded of the following goodfellas movie scene whenever I think of Eriksson (whether he has a good or bad game):
Now the guy's got Paulie as a partner. Any problems, he goes to Paulie. Trouble with the bill? He can go to Paulie. Trouble with the cops, deliveries, Tommy, he can call Paulie. But now the guy's gotta come up with Paulie's money every week, no matter what. Business bad? "**** you, pay me." Oh, you had a fire? "**** you, pay me." Place got hit by lightning, huh? "**** you, pay me." Also, Paulie could do anything. Especially run up bills on the joint's credit. And why not? Nobody's gonna pay for it anyway. And as soon as the deliveries are made in the front door, you move the stuff out the back and sell it at a discount. You take a two hundred dollar case of booze and you sell it for a hundred. It doesn't matter. It's all profit. And then finally, when there's nothing left, when you can't borrow another buck from the bank or buy another case of booze, you bust the joint out
Eriksson had a great game? Loui says, I don't care, **** you pay me.
Eriksson had a bad game? Loui says, I don't care, **** you pay me.
Team is in a tight cap crunch? Loui says, I don't care, **** you pay me.

Best way to use Aeroplan miles?

It's between Buffalo and Vancouver now for Pronman's number one ranked farm system on The Athletic.

@Tre Mac Even though I'm a Demko homer, I'm gonna guess that on a list made by a pro writer, they'll probably have Luukkonen cancelling him out considering that they were both considered the #1 Euro goalies of their classes.
-
@Alflives generational? No.
-
Quinn Hughes will prove to be the best player in his draft, and a unique - generational talent - who will lead us to at least three Cups.
-
Pettersson, Gaudette, and Virtanen will all benefit big time from today's depth signings I think.
-
I hope the Canucks make a big push to get OEL next year.

@Coconuts Even then, given how often teams move and keep the same name, he could be a Houston Coyote or a Kansas City Coyote or even a Quebec Coyote.
-
Is it fair to say the Capitals fleeced Chicago in the Kempny trade?
-
Does Guentzel get suspended for the shoulder to Carlson's head just now? Very much the same hit as Wilsons but Carlson didn't even see Guentzel coming.

I was 6 when the Sedins made their NHL debuts. Tonight was the perfect goodbye after years of entertainment! Thank You Sedins!

Sorry if this isn't allowed, what's the advantage of selling on StubHub?

What gate will the Canucks bobbleheads be handed out at tonight?

Wonder what the Canucks would have to offer to get Tom Wilson from the Capitals.

First off, I strongly disagree with your view on Eller--in fact, I'd say he's become one of the best bargain deals in the league. He brings a lot at only $3.5Mper--a perfect veteran 3C who can move up to a 2C in an emergency and his offence is still getting incrementally better.
And if the Canucks (or anyone else) took on Orpik's salary, then they'd have the cap space to keep both Wilson and Carlson (re-signing Carlson from $4M to $7M would be and additional $3M, Wilson might warrant a raise from $1M or so).
If Wilson is to be traded, it will be for significant futures as I stated originally.
All that said, I think if we're patient with Virtanen, we'll have a player with similar attributes, minus the nasty Wilson brings.
-
@Undrafted What do you think the Caps would offer in a potential Orpik cap dump? Beck Malenstyn was a player the Canucks were looking at and hoping to pick if he reached the Jakub Stukel pick. Not sure the Capitals would give up a guy like that.
-
Honestly, I don't know much about the Caps farm or prospects, so I couldn't say--I just watch their games on a regular basis with my friends. I rely on them to pass on news about organizational stuff and that name hasn't come up at all.
If I were to wildly guess what their GM might do, it'd likely be trying to convince one or both of Carlson and Wilson to take a hometown discount. Carlson might bite if they give him the 8th year; Wilson might agree to a 1-yr deal with the assurance that he'd get paid the year after, once Orpik's deal is off the books. Both players seem to genuinely want to stay with the organization.
-
Surely McPhee will be looking to bring Gusev back from the KHL. Wow.
-
Give Gudbranson all the money in the world! gn Marchand
-
No love for Pettersson wow...
-
Really hate this camera work for the outdoor game...
-
I wish Ilya Kovalchuk was still in the NHL. What an entertaining player!
-
Canucks need a guy like Tom Wilson...
-
Can't remember the last time so many fans wanted a player that's never played a playoff game in a 9 year NHL career...

@Sikhguy23 The Winnipeg franchise is better off without him and Buffalo is going to be too. Not really a coincidence at this point.
-
@goalie13 Wouldn't exactly call him a playoff performer too, he's been largely unspectacular with the Blues IMO.
-
Dream scenario: sign Carlson and Doughty, bring back Tryamkin, trade Gudbranson for Borgstrom...

@Tigs You don't think Florida would do it?
