Popular Post Coconuts Posted February 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2020 The real winner here is Horvat, he's had Boeser and he's had Baer but he's never had two legit second liners on his wings as a Canuck. I hope they mesh quickly and produce. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bracket is leaving after this season. By all accounts he’s the draft guru. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is playing behind Petey, Horvat and likely Gaudette. On the RW he'd be behind Boeser, Podkolzin and even Virtanen. Toffoli is a legit top 6 player. Madden is a 3rd liner hopeful, and if he overachieves maybe a top 6er. He is a decent lottery pick but not a sure thing like Toffoli is. That's not even including the fact Toffoli can play for us NOW. With Boeser down and our 1st rounder not in our control it makes sense to trade for a soon to be 28 year old to solidify our top 6. And again, lets be real. We weren't getting a top 6 forward for Eriksson, Rathbone, and a 3rd like some of you post in the proposal section. Gotta give to get and as of right now I like the cost. Assuming at worst he stays status quo in terms of his play. But I think he'll play really well with Bo and Pearson. Or potentially even better if he plays with Petey and Miller while Boeser is out. Yes , i meant to add this when moving him to wing came up. There was talk about moving him to the wing when he was drafted , which was pre- podkolzin. A this talk of us needing size and pushback, yet some are suggesting a 150 pound centre was a bad trade piece for Toffoli?

coastal.view Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Just now, Alflives said: Miller’s contract will be up just when our young core is coming into their prime years for competing for a Cup. That’s why IMO the timing of the trade to get him was too soon. He’s a really good player, but he’s not going to be here when our young core is matured, so it’s a waste of assets getting him. you do realize the cap will be going up significantly when the new tv deal is signed ? i think the salary cap crunch is an issue this season and next then things will get flexible again again, not sure why you want to project a negative outlook on most things 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammertime Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I mean if Ferly is donezo and JB can find a taker for Eriksson big iff's for sure but i imagine JB and CO considers the next 3 steps before taking the first. I see no reason Toffy can't be a sweet part of our future here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of pressure just came off Bo and if he's not trying to do it all himself he plays better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see how he develops, but it doesn't look to be as easy road at this point. LA might send him to NJ. They've got some $&!# to sort out.
