  1. Really? Thanks, I didn't know that. That sounds like it's totally open for abuse.
  2. Markstrom making it a guarantee we'll have to move a goalie sometime in the next year. No way he ever clears waivers again.
  3. Now if we could just get a clip of him saying. "I am Groot"
  4. Scheduled to play the 24th at Kootenay I'm going to that one. Nice to have a high Canucks pick in the WHL to look forward to them coming to town. Was looking forward to Shinkaruk last year, but he got hurt early & it never happened.
  5. I have np with Horvat ending up as our 3rd line center for several years. That'd just mean others surpassed him & the team would be a contender. Nothing wrong with having a 3C who could be a 2C & a 4C who could be a 3C. Ideally Kesler would of been our 3rd line center the last few years too, we jut didn't have anyone better then him to play 2C. Shinkaruk McCann Kassian Virtanen Vey Jensen Fox Horvat Cassels Zalewski Gaunce LaBate
  6. I'd say we're at least 4 years away from Bo Horvat challenging for a top 6 role. If he has any real scoring impact before the twins retire it'll be a pleasant surprise. Another year of junior, a year ion the farm & then a couple of years in the bottom 6 doesn't seem out of line at all. Then when all is said & done, he might very well remain in the bottom 6. Nothing at all wrong with Horvat being an elite 2 way shutdown 3rd line center capable of moving up when needed, Anything more then that is just gravy.
  7. I think the team is in desperate need of a center capable of being the shut down guy. If Bo can come into camp & play lights out defensive hockey then he has a shot at making the team. Give him 2 solid defensive wingers, tell him to not worry about scoring, just play solid D & he could have a role on the team. Sedin Sedin Vrbata Higgins Bonino Vey Burrows Horvat Hansen Matthias Richardson Kassian With Burrows/Higgins & Kassian/Vey interchangeable & Dorsett in the mix. It might be a bit much to ask of a rookie, but there's a long history of all star 2 way centers breaking into the league as checking centers & the offence coming around once they're comfortable in their ability to shut down the leagues best. If Bo or maybe Gaunce can come in & play that role, it makes things easier on all the other lines & we might have a good mix.
  8. With everyone & his dog predicting Kassian will break out in the next couple of years, I don't think there's any chance of him signing cheap long term. I'm thinking 1.5 mill for next season & add another .5 mill for every extra season. 1.5 mill per year for 1 year 2.0 mill per year for 2 years 2.5 mill per year for 3 years 3.0 mill per year for 4 years Anything more then 1 year & you have to overpay him now in the hopes that he'll be underpaid by the time it expires. I expect him to sign a similar contract to what Tanev signed last year. 1 year @ 1.5 mill
