  1. For me it would take: Bratt (sure thing top line player) Mercer (young player) Nemec (top prospect) 1st rounder 2023 (draft capital) FOR Quinn Hughes Even then I'd seriously consider not doing it. I don't think we really know the value Hughes brings to our lineup. Without him we are dead last in the league and with him we already are close. Maybe we should have traded him there in offseason to secure Bedard.
  2. one thing I will give the sabres credit for is they are able to sign guys to long term contracts without paying them stupid money. first Tage now Cozens
  3. @Dazzle is like that toxic ex that just has to always be right
  4. Reality is Bo chased the bag and he had every right to do so. After years of watching the Canucks overpay for players that bring nothing (Myers 6 mill, OEL 7.25,Boeser 6.65, Eriksson 6 mill and even Roussel and Beagle to an extent) He wasn't going to take less to stay. We had him on a team friendly deal already and there wasn't going to be another one. At the end of the day he was a good captain that played hard. I didn't always like how passive his was and not sticking up for his teammates, but the effort and his ability to lead by example was. No captain is perfect. Unfortunately, it was time to move on. There is no way we should have been giving him the kinda money he just got. Hell Lou even admitted it is too much money and too much term. Not something you wanna hear from the GM that just signed the contract. The rumoured 7 years 7.5 million we offered was already a bit rich for my liking. I doubt he ever hits 65PTs in a season with the Islanders and doubt he ever scores 35 again. They don't play the high offensive system for him to succeed offensively. Horvat cleaned up on the power play here. That Islander team has no PP (ranked 28th? currently) is on the downturn quickly. Hopefully the Canucks are on the upswing (in a year or two) Sad Bo won't be around to see the city go crazy and experience playoff hockey in a Canadian market. All the best Bo, no hard feelings!
  5. I remember in the bubble when Myers was averaging what felt like 3 penalties a game. None were actual penalties it was just the fact he was 6'8 and it sucks really because I feel Myers is so soft these days and doesn't touch anyone out there. Half the time he gets outmuscled/overpowered by guys 6 ft. and its hard to blame him because if he touches someone it's a penalty or hit to the head lol
  6. We we a retaining money on Boeser that's fine but I want a solid prospect + a pick (2nd rounder)
  7. Exactly, we are dodging a bullet. Horvat isn't worth that. 7 million max and thats pushing it. We made a good trade that has the potential to be a great trade. Management did well here
  8. I like beauvillier's speed and appears to have good hands. Let's give him the rest of the season before we say he's a cap dump. I see some potential here. 20 goal 50 PT winger. No doubt he was part of the trade to make the cap hits match, since its dollar in dollar out right now.. But to say he's a cap dumb is a bit of a stretch
  9. I'd do that deal all day but I feel the Rangers would want more and rightfully so Heck if I was a Rangers fan I'd be pissed. I agree tho I don't see them making that pick, I see them trading it for immediate help
  10. No way he wants to play in ARI or CLB. The off ice endorsements he would make here vs in those cities would be night and day. He would put in minimum service time then come here or at least be UFA to then go where he wants. Money won't be the issue, he'll get it anywhere
  11. If we don't win the Connor Bedard sweepstakes how many seasons until we can get him as a UFA. Is it 7 seasons? 3 years on ELC then 4 on a contract? Would put him at 26? years old ... Serious question folks
  12. We have all summer to fix the D. Reality is it is a dollar in dollar out league right now. We have to retain to make the deal happen. I think we did really well here. Now it is on us to develop Ratu and our first round draft pick.
  13. DeNiro, We are rebuilding. This was a rebuild trade. No retool happening here. Its a full tear down. Everyone goes
  14. Exactly. He's not worth 8 or 8.5 million. I'm sure he would have loved to stay for that money. Reality is, a career year in a contract year. We all know how those contracts end
  15. 8-8.5 million for Horvat is worse than 8 million for Miller. At least Miller is PPG since he got here. Horvat is 50-55 PT guy.
  16. Bo wasn't going to re-sign. At least we got something and he didn't walk as a UFA. Culture change in the locker room now. This is the first of many moves folks, buckle up. We got a solid C prospect and a 1st, which will be 13-17 most likely! We will draft a solid prospect. No complaints here. This is a rebuild trade folks, nothing helping us tomorrow. Bedard chances just got better, why y'all mad?
  17. Had thought all season Mikheyev looked a step slower and he was still pretty dang fast. This explains it all now
  18. Patches is 7million on LTIR. So they should have 7million in cap to spend
