shiznak Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Where were those timely goals this year? At the end of the day, We lost in the finals, so did New Jersey. Both teams were outscored. Also, a big chunk of our goals during our run in the playoffs in 2011 came against San Jose. Goals were a little harder to come by against the other teams.

Vlas=d Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 It's funny seeing people knock Schroeder because of his size. Um, hello, ever heard of Martin St. Louis? He's small, too. Do you think he sucks? He has won a cup, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustNazzy Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Somehow I think this type of deal we are seeing tonight is going to make a lot of fans side with the owners in a new CBA, because this is just ridiculous, Allowed, but still it needs to be addressed soon.

OrrFour Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Not really. Suter and Parise are only making 22 because they are getting a 10 million signing bonus already, then 2 million for the season, and then July 1 next year another 10 million signing bonus, so its 22 million over one calendar year.

OrrFour Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Not to insult you, but you don`t even need to play hockey to know that it`s easier to play the puck on your forehand. The Canucks have had one of the highest scoring/lowest goals against D-cores in the league the last couple seasons. So I would say not having another right handed D-man isn;t that big of a deal. Garrison actually can play the right side BTW and has excelled there. That was a good run, but it's not happening again without some more consistent scoring.

Scottish⑦Canuck Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I thought they were trying to cut down on clear cap circumvention. I guess not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berto91 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 So if Nash matches, he's stuck there? Maybe the guys in Philly just wanted to ruin his career? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrrFour Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Yea but all of this seems to be based on the assumption that Nashville doesn't match... Nashville will match so why are we even pretending that we had a shot at him? It was a bold move by Philly but ultimately it will be a fail. If the Canucks still wanna acquire him, there's a good chance that Nashville will trade him if they can't afford him. Unfortunately the cost will be much higher than 4 1st round picks.

Hobbes!!! Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Can't nashville just match and then trade weber to the highest bidder since it won't include a ntc/nmc? They'd get way more than two firsts, a second and a third. ? Edit: I don't if this has been discussed. I'm on my phone and didn't read the whole thread!

Franz Liszt Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Then you should know that a left D can't just switch to the right side and be effective. It's extremely difficult. This is a huge deal and I'm going to be fascinated to see how the coaches deal with it. No Garrison has not excelled there. I heard him say on the radio that he hasn't played there much. I would bet that adding weber would increase our scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicklasjensen46 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 cant see nashville letting him go. even with the draft pick compensation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCoastCanucks Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Well when you draft 4 times from 20-30, you`ve gotta think the odds of getting one elite player along the lines of a Perry, Kesler, Richards, or Giroux are good. Schroeder won the rookie of the year award in college, is the all time leading scoring for the US in the world junior tournament, and won a gold medal for team USA. He has just as good of a track record in junior as Hodgson did. Or Weber could get a concussion next season and be done. That`s the risk of ridiculously long-term contracts like this.

forklift_ole Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 14 year $100million? Are the Flyers totally batsh*t? You miss your next four first round picks, and then you're stuck with a guy with an completely untouchable contract. The Flyers are pretty good, but not miss their next four big prospects good. Not put-all-my-eggs-in-one-basket good. There's no way I match that if I'm Nashville. I am a huge Shea Weber fan, and if I was in Nashville I'd be upset to see him leave, but I'd also be excited that my team was gonna be totally rebuilt with Flyers' picks. 14 years $100mil? That's a clown contract, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabychStache Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I match if I'm Poile. Those 1sts aren't nearly enough for Weber. Philly has a ton of great young players already they don't need those first round picks. Holmgren sure is ballsy. MGs downfall might end up being the Sedin contracts. No Player makes more than them which means in today's world the big names aren't available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Canuck Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 what a crappy start to this day Weber took control of his future! Obviously wanted a say in where he ends up, Nashville or Philly where his choices. To bad MG wasn't in on it on some level, will we ever have a stud D-man?

TheFastOne21 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 And the 2012 FA crazy signings continues. Thank you Kovalchuk (last ridiculous contract from previous years i remember) for ruining how this process pans out. Good on Weber for basically taking matters into his own hands and cashing in on a big contract before the new CBA changes how it is done. Good on Philly for replacing Pronger with an insane offer. Good on Nashville for whatever they choose. A couple low 1st picks and a lot of cap space or a match and doom Weber to an eternity in Nashville where he will say he wants a trade every year and people. This just blew my mind seeing this today.

Lonny_Bohonos_14 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I don't see why Nashville wouldn't instantly match this offer. Weren't they offering the Suter 13 years? I really don't see any reason to not match. If Weber really wants out, he should have just waited for a trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
