Popular Post redhdlois Posted August 7, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 7, 2019 Update on Duke ..... encouraging news! August 7, 2019 Journal entry by Laurie Boeser — 1 hour ago Duke is improving! He may get off the ventilator in the next day or two. His pneumonia is improving. He is more alert but not too happy about a tube in his throat. Thank you to those of you who have provided delicious meals, sent beautiful flowers, and dropped off gift cards. It is so helpful. Prayers are holding our family up! Also, if you have never taken a CPR class, consider signing up for a class or google ‘CPR - chest compressions’. No more mouth to mouth is required. You can save a life! 8 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock will be signed, most likely before any of the other RFAs. Everyone has to be sure it works for them. I'm sure the situation was backed off from lately, with Brock's father having serious health issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Gurn Posted August 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 8, 2019 I don't expect Brock to sign till just before training camp. The guy has a lot on his mind, and his contract is way down the list right now. Best wishes for his Dad, hope he has one of those miraculous recoveries and is still kicking a couple of decades from now. 1 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Jim and Brocks agent can handle things just fine, Brocks always said he wants to be here and they'll find a way. This is probably the last thing I'm worried about for the Canucks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dats hockey Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I Personally would wait to sign BB until Any of Marner Point or Laine are signed because if they get lowballed that will set a better Market for us. I’m looking at you Tampa you your tax free bullshhhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say the other RFA's contracts will influence Brocks as much as everyone thinks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post redhdlois Posted August 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2019 Latest update on Duke - August 9, 2019 Journal entry by Laurie Boeser — 49 minutes ago Duke remains on the ventilator. He went thru a couple days of agitation (most likely a side effect from a medication given - which he is no longer taking) and that hindered some progress. His pneumonia is also zapping his energy level so we continue to wait for a potential removal of the ventilator. He has developed ICU delirium which ‘comes with the territory’ per the nurses and doctors. Of course, he is already mentally compromised by his Parkinson’s disease and traumatic brain injury (car accident in 2012). His eyes are open but he is not interactive. I think ‘time’ is what he needs....time to rest, time to heal, time to recover. The doctors commented to me about the family support he has been given at the hospital and how they wished other patients were so fortunate. He is truly blessed! So prayer warriors - please keep those prayers coming!! 5 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xereau Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Saw Kuzma talking the other day that he hears a 7x8 deal is on the table BIg money for the kid but he really should do a bridge, and push the aav close to 10 with some sick seasons Or, less should he regress. I'd be happy with an 8 year midrange value deal were it signed today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think and hope he can exceed those expectations thought at least in the mid-point of that contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happy with an 8 year midrange value deal were it signed today. Is that 7 million per for 8 years? Or 8 million per for 7 years? The latter is too rich. The former isn't really that bad of a deal. Yeah maybe we overpay him just a little right now, but it will look pretty good in a couple of years. We all have to remember that Boeser's ppg is quite impressive already, and that was playing with a rookie Pettersson and a substandard 2nd winger last season. Now Pettersson is a year older and stronger and they have better options for the left wing. I predict Pettersson scores at least 1 ppg (probably slightly more) and Boeser is brushing 1ppg himself. IMO it won't be long before Boeser is in the top 25-30 in scoring in the NHL so we will be looking pretty good in 2023 when the going rate of such a player is 10m.

samurai Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Fine whatever but you guys should really hold off talking about B's contract and stuff while Duke is fighting for his life. Stay classy Canuck fans! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To lose your parents at such a young age is heartbreaking, Pete. You must have endured some tough times while you were growing up. I lost my Mum to cancer in 1985 and the grief was overwhelming. I still miss her dearly, but thankfully the pain of the loss has diminished over the years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grieving is good and part of healing and adapting...sad for your loss too...thumbs up to life. Edited August 11, 2019 by Pete M 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
