  1. We have two Lou's taking up 9 mil in cap space. And you guys want to weaponize cap space? We've already shot ourselves in the foot with that weapon. 

  2. Lawyer in me has come up with a new idea to weaponize cap space. If team X wants to sign, say, Panarin for a cap hit of 8m whilst Panarin still gets paid 12m AAV, team X can agree with team Y to sign Panarin at 12m AAV, then trade him immediately upon signing whilst retaining 4m, for some form of consideration. Technically legal. But way too ballsy.

      What asset would be worth getting at a cost of 28 million (4 x 7 years).  That asset better pan out.

      Nah, pool party sounds better and is definitely more fun

  4. SN 650 reporting Edler willing to waive for expansion. Does that change your willingness to 3 years from 2?

      Of course, Edler at 3 or if the AAV comes down, even at 4 is fine

  5. Would Edmonton give up their 1st to move Lucic, to us, and we flip them a future back.. Could you imagine us drafting 10th and 11th?

  6. Mods, can you start handing out suspensions to people that make trade proposals involving Boeser? Please and thank you.

      Boeser for McDavid?  If the Oilers are game, I am

  7. I still can't make any sense of why the Canucks would want Lucic. ANY. When every other team in the league is trying to add speed and grit. Does JB think that THIS is the move that will save his job?

      I would rather have Lucic than Eriksson.  Is Lucic my first choice?  Of course not, he won’t be any better than Eriksson but he’d be excited to be here and Eriksson clearly isn’t.  Lucic was 7th in the league in hits, which will help this team, especially with all our small guys.  

       

      What was Eriksson 7th best in the league at?  Lack of enthusiasm?

       

      If Ryan Reaves is available I’d rather have him as he’s way cheaper but not when you add Eriksson’s and Reaves’ contract together as there is likely no other way to get rid of Eriksson.

  9. All Russians are friends and know eachother. If you sign one Russian, more will come!! Just like how Tryamkin said Goldobin was being treated unfairly. Willie you buffoon!

  10. Don’t worry, there is still Buffalo

  11. What if New Jersey offered Taylor Hall for Quinn Hughes? Would you make that deal? I wouldn't.

  12. Is pizza not just a sandwich if you fold it?

  13. just imagine the things demko could do with a respectable blue line in front of him

  14. what is an eco-friendly jersey? does it dissolve in water or from sweat? 

  15. If we get Hughes, would anyone package Horvat for Karlsson? Would have to be a sign and trade. 

    1. mpt

      mpt

      Next year at the draft?  I’d just offer Karlsson a big contract. No point giving up Horvat just for negotiation rights

  16. im hoping hughes gets stronger this yr and maybe has a bit of a growth spurt  his skating looks so good hes def gonna be on team next yr 

  17. Alright CDC, what are your favourite beers?

  18. The malleus is attached at one end to the tympanic cavity. In addition to those things, voter apathy, Hillary running a bad campaign/being an unlikable candidate, etc. Her parents were arrested, and her father was shot to death during Stalin's purges in the late 1930s.She also described in her autobiography the indignities of being a Soviet artist in the Cold War era: tense cocktail party encounters with Khrushchev, tours on meager allowances, KGB plots to capitalize on her friendship with Robert Kennedy, rigid restrictions on choreography guidelines.For years she was refused permission to tour with the company because of her family history, according to the Jewish Women's Archive.
     

  19. Some Saturday shoppin' and poutine.  Total indulgence!

  20. Man I feel bad for Michael Bennett. And people are out there defend to defend the police in this situation, even after reading the accounts and seeing the videos? Sickening.

  21. Assuming we do sign Vanek for short term, low $. Do we see him on the top line with Horvat and Boeser. No offence, but Baertschi is getting lucky with Horvat in my opinion as Burrows did with the Sedins. Not saying they're bad players, by all means they are good at what they do. Vanek did have a good year last year and could get upto 25 G with Horvat and act as a mentor for Horvat.

     

    Gives us a chance to see how Horvat is without Baertschi as I personally don't see Baertschi in our long term plans with Horvat.

     

    Thoughts? I'm all for trading Vanek/ Baertschi at the deadline if the price is right...

      I'd rather Boeser play with other players than the Sedins.  Why learn a unique style when they aren't going to be around much longer.  Boeser needs to start learning the NHL game with the style he's going to play for the rest of his career, don't confuse the kid by playing him with the Sedins

      He isn't starting an nuclear war, North Korea is going to start a war against America, it makes no sense for them to get involved, its just a political play to get sanctions lifted.   Supporting a president who hasn't really done anything as President isn't the end of the world; I wouldn't worry about it.

  23. Wonder if Canucks signed Nilsson instead of Miller because he's trade-able while Miller would have demanded a no trade clause....Better to have trade-able assets in a rebuild then not. May have been a contributing factor

  24. Yay... Physiotherapy... D:
