  1. Some of these guys could be traded by the deadline, but I would re-sign Jake , Gaudette , Motte , Marky and Tanev first and hopefully get Toffoli back on an affordable contract too. (5m?) Loui will accept a contract termination once his bonus is paid (in my hopeful opinion) and Baer could be moved in the summer too. Leivo, Stecher, Fantenberg et are basically own rentals at this point and are probably most likely to be added in a deadline deal if another one is made this year. Not sure about the cap after the Roberto recapture but this is how I would try to start :-)
  2. I'll be there to listen outside even if I can't get a ticket , and I thought they were ridiculous old fossils when they toured in '81! Used to be able to get cheap tickets once the show started at BC Place , doubt thats still true today though. Good luck !
  3. No team is going to take on Loui's contract until this summer after his bonus payout unless they are sending a truckload of garbage back, I'd rather just keep him until then. Mutual termination is probably a more realistic option at that point anyway , either way he's done here with no albatross contract coming back. How's that for a trade proposal? :-)
  4. First place in the pacific division at the all-star break and you still dump on Green ? Cajones is the correct spelling i believe , and you my friend brought 'em. Ain't talkin' 'bout love as the goal song for this season means only one thing imo , cup baby. :-) So save your beer money and let's party this spring , hey , hey , hey !
  5. Just turned the game on in the 2nd to a 6-2 score that I read as 2-0 at first! I'll just enjoy the third until this coffee starts working.
  6. JR's filter has been broken since the 90's , how is it some people are just noticing now ? :-D I'll give him credit for at least trying to be funny and wish everyone a Merry Christmas / happy holidays including Jeremy. Lets go Canucks !
  7. If I'm Travis Green right now I'm still kicking the snot out of that dressing room ! They didn't just let that game get away from them they just stood there and watched it walk away , ridiculous effort level in the third period.
  8. Could be a short window of opportunity with Roussel coming back soon too , light 'em up Goldie !
  9. I'm finally starting to like what I see from Schaller , and Motte has always had the motor to be a great 4th liner. Goldy and Baer both need to be top 6 forwards to be effective and on this team they aren't anymore , already being in the AHL should make it easier to trade them at some point this season. I honestly can't see either of them playing in Vancouver again unless we get hit with injuries all at once again.
  10. Congrats to our 14th Captain , Bo Horvat ! Nice opening night intro with the former Canuck greats added to the line up too.
  11. Makes me wonder how many trade offers are on the table?
  12. Send Loui and Schaller to Utica as soon as possible , and probably Gaudette too unless a trade is worked out before opening night. I still say no way to trading Jake but if any of Baer/Goldy/Leivo/Pearson/Sutter could get a good return I'd do it. Baer to Edmonton for Pooly + is a trade that makes sense to me.
  13. I voted for the playoffs mostly because all of the above wasn't an option , so many good things happening this season! I think Bo Horvat is going to play an even higher level wearing the C , if I had to pick one thing only that might be it.
  14. Congrats to JB , the club is lucky to have you ! Looking forward to the final few moves to fill out the roster this year , the playoffs are in sight!
  15. My understanding of the CBA rules is that if Loui and the Canucks agree to mutually terminate his contract there is no further cap hit/ recapture penalty , and the only string attached is that the player can't sign another NHL contract for the term remaining on the previous one. ( 3yrs in this case. ) What if the club terminates him for not reporting to Utica for example , are there any cap hit issues then and would he be allowed to sign another contract next season?
  16. Send him down on the very first day of camp and things will get real for loui quickly! Getting nothing back for him would be a windfall , how much less than nothing is the real question now.
  17. I agree the team should make the playoffs next year and continue improving to the point of being true contenders in the years following, but I think people have the Benning/Linden plans backwards. Imo it was Linden who wanted to trade futures to give the Sedins another shot at the playoffs and Benning who wanted to stick to the original plan. Remembering how angry Trev seemed to be before he quit things clearly weren't going his way.
  18. I was thinking Gaudette and the extra cap space might be enough to get it done myself.
