JB likely has a lot of balls in the air, and one move depends on another kind of thing. He does and maybe got confused on Saturday and thought a first was coming our way from Tampa and not the other way around. Lol. Kidding. Large price but cant wait to see Miller in a Nucks jersey on EP's line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more depth we have on the right side, the more likely it is Tanev actually survives an entire season. Maybe we can even add another 1st round pick at the trade deadline this time around. Myers will get vastly overpaid for his value I fear and I hope we aren’t the suckers doing it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but apparently the rumors are the cap is expected to go up considerably after the next 2 years and contracts will likely get even larger. So some short term pain may not end up being that bad. It's a gamble for sure. https://www.forbes.com/sites/bradadgate/2019/01/15/hockeys-big-pay-day-is-coming/#51185f984e44 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he takes a little less to be where he wants to be. I'm okay with a NMC too if it means he's signs for around 6.5.

I also just don't see a trade market that doesn't involve a young core piece. So I'd rather overpay by 1.5 mil or so vs. losing a Boeser. We're not going to get a 1D with Jake + scraps. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontaylorforprez Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 (edited) I feel like we’ve been down this road before with other players... “seen in Van”, “seen having dinner with canucks brass”... “bought a house in north van”.. I’ll believe it when I see it. Till then, I’ll eat my Nibs and watch :p Edited June 24, 2019 by dontaylorforprez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the problem. Any pieces this team is willing to part with don't have much value to other teams. Rumor has it that Benning was frustrated that other teams don't value his players. And why would they? Most of them are fringe players at this point. Unless we wanna pay way too much for someone like Ristolainen, or empty our prospect pool for Barrie, a trade for a top defenseman is pretty unlikely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can probably swing a 2nd pair-#4 guy with only moderate discomfort. But a top pair guy's probably not in the cards via trade. I mean there's an OFF chance you could swing the likes of Ristolainen for something like Marky + Virtanen + prospect and sign a UFA to somewhat replace Marky but even then BUF might not budge/someone else likely outbids us. And it would have to assume they've struck out in the goalie FA market as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we pay 7.... is that really the worst thing ever? not really compared to other things we've seen this week. Hutton is due 4.3 in arbitration for gods sake. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do too.........he's a BC resident in the summer, played for the Rockets and he can probably see what they are trying to do here in Van. It's not unreasonable to think that he wants to be here and might take slightly less to do so, if he believes in what JB is building here. That said, I feel like he ends up in the Peg when the smoke clears. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
