  1. Tanking is not an exact science and given the fact that the Canucks are the team that's been the most screwed over by the draft, I would not trust any plan that involves trying to lose every game.
  2. I think supporting the defense is more about the system than the players. It's up to the coaching staff to make the players accountable to play better defensively which is was one Boudreau's faults. He was a great motivator but not a great systems coach. Sure it's also on the players to put in the effort but as they say defense can be taught.
  3. Seeing as how he would have to go through waivers to be sent down it is a guarantee that he will be playing with the Canucks but otherwise I agree being sent down would be the best option for his development. One of the few advantages of not making the playoffs is being able to let some prospects come up and play to learn what the NHL pace is like since outcome of the games don't matter anymore. The rest of season is his audition for next year. It also makes sense that they are looking for cheap forward talent so they can move out some big contracts and hopefully improve the defense.
  4. His wife is pregnant and is very close to giving birth. Giving him time to be near his wife while ensuring he doesn't hurt himself before the deadline is just killing two birds with one stone.
  5. One could argue its a big overpayment from the panthers but when you factor in that both Huberdeau and Weegar are set to be free agents in one more year and are going to be 30 and 29 then its clear why Florida made the deal. They don't want to have to commit massive contracts to two players that will likely become anchors eventually and they pick up a player already capable of putting up 100 points who isn't even in their prime yet. Plus they will save enough cap to be able to sign another defenseman in next year's free agency to replace Weegar.
  6. If there were 10 teams or more bidding to trade for miller at this moment a deal would have been done. Obviously as a free agent the market is better but hopefully he doesn't make it to free agency.
  7. The problem with trading Miller is that the market for him is really quite small. The only teams that are willing to trade for him or sign him long term are contending teams or Teams with lots of cap space. I hope current management doesn't get too patient or too greedy because the longer they hold out the less chance of getting a decent return.
  8. Maybe comfort in the sense that they don't expect him to produce like a top six right off the bat. Almost everywhere else he goes will come with the expectation that he produces immediately or else he's out of the lineup. The Canucks can offer him time to adjust while still giving him meaningful minutes.
  9. I think if the deal includes all of Marino, Kapanen and Rodeigues and instead of Harmonic they took Poolman and Dickinson then the deal might be worth it. Pittsburgh is still getting the best player in the deal and gets a downgraded version of Marion and we get an upgrade for the 3rd line all while shedding some unwanted contracts. I don't know if that all works salary wise on both ends but I think both teams would get the upgrades they want.
  10. Back in November I went to a abbotsford Canucks game and it was not one of their best. I remember walking out thinking that there is not much coming from this prospect pool anytime soon. My point is that any fresh blood is good. A free prospect with hometown roots that at least a little promise. Just like getting a free lunch, everything tastes better when it's free.
  11. What has been the knock on him personally wise? Is he considered self centered, too flamboyant or not a team guy? In his prime he was a Norris winner but I've heard a lot of personality being a turn off. Any insight?
  12. While it's true a draft deal would be a reduced return you don't trade him now unless the offer makes sense. Even though I believe he won't resign because he wants to win now it might at least be worth a try if nobody bites. There just seems to be a lot reluctance from other teams to pay big prices even for top players. That could change at the deadline but in my opinion it doesn't. Needless to say I want this deadline to pass already. So much speculation and so little answers.
  13. At this point i just don't see a mega offer happening especially if they are talking extension. He is saying what you would expect most gms to say in this situation but I get the impression that the teams interested are not offering up what they want. In that case it makes sense to try to resign him and if he doesn't maybe do a deal at the draft.
  14. You can make an argument for Boeser being one dimensional but he's definitely not a rental or some throw away player. He is still on pace for 50 points or so which is not bad considering the abysmal start the whole team had. I don't see a dynamite return but I would expect at least 2 good pieces one being a 1st round pick.
  15. I've always wondered if the exchange rate cancels that out. They are paid in American regardless if they are in Canada no?
