Window opens sometime later in off season as per pro hockey rumors. Rangers May Need To Use The Second Buyout Window JULY 6, 2019 AT 9:06 AM CDT | BY BRIAN LA ROSE 3 COMMENTS The fact that Rangers winger Pavel Buchnevich and defenseman Jacob Trouba filed for salary arbitration yesterday isn’t particularly noteworthy in itself. However, them doing so opens up a second buyout window later this offseason and it certainly appears as if GM Jeff Gorton is going to need to use it. It only opens for the teams who have players filing for arbitration. Canucks have no one. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaudette Celly Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Third and probably last time around, but wonder if Goldobin will seize this chance. He could fit as a playmaker with two responsible 2-way guys in Horvat and Pearson. But that doesn't mean he can coast, riding their coattails, and has to not only amp up the intensity but start going inside instead of dancing around the perimeter. Jake's at least ahead of Goldy in that regard but also has to bring consistency, and may be a better bet there despite his lack of playmaking. Regardless, there's no urgency to fill that spot with a UFA, as it could be filled as early as next year or from within this year. Leave it open as a carrot, a golden ring for a kid to step up and grab. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertime Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 10 hours ago, The Great Canucks said: MacEwen is not a top 6 player. All depends on if he Jels there are many top 6 players in the NHL when you look at in a vacume arent top 6 players but have one or two special skills/qualities that allow them to flourish on a line. I'd be willing to give him a chance in a sheltered offensive role and see how he does. If he impresses give him increased opportunities. Start with say Goldobin Beagle/Sutter Zack If he shows well maybe park him net front on the pp2 I dont think he should be gifted a top 6 spot but we can give him every opportunity to earn it and see if he can stick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borvat Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 1 hour ago, stawns said: You're going to put a probable 20 goal guy on the 4th line? Not for the whole season. Gaudette is a better puck handler and passer - what that line needs to round it out. Virtanen is a threat on that fourth line depending on matchups and he can work his way up the lineup over the year. Injuries will also happen. I am a Virtanen supporter and believe he will work his way up. I am hoping TG gets him killing penalties as well with his speed. I see Virtanen being a solid third liner who can PK and move up the line up if needed. I think Sutter gets dealt depending on where the Canucks are after Christmas/if he's healthy and Gaudette goes to center the third line - Virtanen moves up. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RakuRaku Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 No offense to the thread creator... but really, MacEwen isn't an NHL player yet ... unless he shows he can outplay Schaller first.... let alone top 6 consideration! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM_ Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 it would be great if he could manage to stick on the 4th line to begin with for this year. That would be a pretty solid accomplishment. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cue the Benning haters for not purposely having someone file for arbitration to have a secondary buyout window just in case we need it. It's like Benning has no plan or strategy in anything he does!

Schaller didn't start off well, but finished off the year decently. His PPG was not far off from the previous season that he was praised for. He just wasn't the physical presence we hoped he would be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedinery33 Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 If we're talking top 6 spot id rather see Jasek get the shot, I like Mac, I just don't think that's going to be his forte in the NHL. Just my opinion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He, in fact, said they knew it was a strong possibility and then Luongo also gave them a heads-up. He was unprepared in that he allowed it to stop him from doing what he needed to do to improve the forward group in free agency, despite knowing in advance that this was going to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did do what he needed to do to improve the forward group. He just did it by trade instead of FA. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Goblin Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 The "10%" at it again... Seriously, if all you're gonna do is complain about JB, then just leave. The negativity is not good for your own health and it's unpleasant for others. Being critical is fine, but the way these haters are spitting trash really shows the crap that they're going through by taking it out on JB on a message board ffs. None of us could do as a good a job as Jim does, otherwise we would be up there make these tough decisions and getting paid accordingly. Go bring your negativity to another team, we don't need your "smart" ass. Trust the process folks. This Luongo situation was MG's fault, not JB's. Give yourself a long look in the mirror and ask yourself: Is this how I want to live my life? By bashing someone who is honest and dedicated to the Canucks in every way. I really don't know what makes these people think their smarter. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Why is everyone writing off Baertschi? When healthy hes one of our most consistent producers, goal scoring and playmaking. Each line has a powerforward anyway, we don't need Zack just yet, besides his offensive skills aren't top 6 NHL material yet. Miller (PF) - Pettersson - Boeser Pearson (PF) - Horvat (PF) - Baertschi Leivo - Sutter - Virtanen (PF) Goldobin - Gaudette - Motte If need be we can throw him on that 4th line for 9 mins a game against Calgary. Thats about it. This team has plenty of depth now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topcheeze86 Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 ur lacking skill speed and offensive creativity throughout your whole line setup Goldobin and baer NEED to be in this lineup to create offence u have literalky 1 scoring line and a bunch of plugs after that smh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offense taken. However, Schaller's AHL numbers were no where near as good as MacEwen's and MacEwen is still developing. In my mind there is no doubt MacEwen becomes a much better player than schaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
