McDavid hardly counts as needing a mentor haha. Marner had Marleau, Kadri, etc. Same with Matthews Krug has had Chara, and others McAvoy has been under Charas wing Barzal has had Tavares, Ladd... Horvat had the Sedins Boeser had Vanek, BoHo, and Sedins to learn from Sam Steel has Getzlaf, Perry, Silfverberg

Horvat is invaluable to this team. Would have to be one hell of an offer.

Virtanen IS an nhl calibre player and he is constantly above league average... McCann has had 3 gms play him in the nhl... So........... *insert Trump WRONG meme here*

What?? Botching who? Virts problems are his own and has gotten a lot better. Tryamkin left, Benning cant control that. McCann went through 2 teams before "panning out" with Crosby. Your arguement is filled with holes.

"Why would I waive a clause I signed?" "I want to play in Vancouver" "Oh and I want to hand cuff the team with an albatross contract, with a full NMC" "Ill just play somewhere else then" The sad part is, the Canucks are noticeably better with him on the ice

I have a feeling Schenn walks away a UFA. It opens up a spot not only on the roster, but in contracts as well. I'd love to see Schenn back, but pending a Hutton trade, I doubt it happens.

Was just thinking... If the Canucks retain 50% on Loui, he no longer has negative value in my opinion. He's still an above average player, defensively. 3M a year for a dependable PKer/3rd liner that can get you 20-30 points. With that, there's also the chance he flourishes, and becomes a 3M guy putting up 50 points.

The cap hit would probably be too high

Then ya, no he doesn't qualify unless the team says to add his name,

He played in the finals, no?

I'll lose all respect for Edler if he refused to be traded just to end up walking away in the end.

Cocaine, It's a helluva drug

Medicine Balls you mean!

He was injured from that knee no? Neal got suspended for that play. I hate when he does that 2nd one though. He lines himself up with unaware players and takes a huge dive off them. The bottom one is hilarious. Cheese

You just read the rule. Just because you say period and put a period doesn't make you right... How much speed does an Nhler lose in a 30 foot glide? Also 20 feet is a big buffer for your estimate. He built up speed and violently checked someone. How about a real argument.

42 of the NHL rulebook dictates that charging "shall mean the actions of a player or goalkeeper who, as a result of distance traveled, shall violently check an opponent in any manner. A 'charge' may be the result of a check into the boards, into the goal frame or in open ice He built up speed over 160 feet and then glided the last couple seconds and then steamrolled a guy who had no clue.

I think you're sadly mistaken with the Sedins. I think they would have benefited from clutch and grab. The Sedins were so good on the boards and being elusive in the dirty areas. They would have dominated with the passing plays they could make. Also don't think Bure benefits in this new era of hockey. I think his speed is what gave him the edge back then. Barely anyone could skate like that back then, and now there are tons of speedsters. Jenner, Virtanen, McDavid, Larkin, Pettersson,etc... Kesler would have been a force back then... Also this is assuming they keep their skills and IQ of their peak in the modern era. NewEra Hindered: Pettersson, One Scott Stevens away from retirement, Benefit: Sedins. When they slowed down they lost a lot of space in the new era. That's why their offence fell off a cliff, really. Clutch and grab, they would have made the pass before the guy groping him knew what happened. This would be utter domination circa 2011. Old Era Hindered: Bure. Goalies aren't so easy to dangle out of their crease anymore and everyone else is a step quicker, not to mention cherry picking doesn't happen in todays game that often. Benefit: It's hard to pick a guy from this era who would do better against better competition, but I would have to say Alexander Mogilny. He was just so good, I think he would translate well.

Gardiner already peaked at 53 points. I don't feel like he'll ever crack 40 again. Myers is an upgrade on the right hand side, but he's not what the Canucks need. The Canucks need 26-27 year old Gardiner, but I'm not opposed to adding my scoring on the back end. Edler Stetcher Gardiner Tanev Schenn Hughes Hutton Biega Is it possible the Canucks are not resigning Edler?

Dahlin vs Dahlen

PK Subban

This thread is about JV and Nylander?

Or afraid of how liberals around them will over react.

Bouchard sucks, Lucic is going to cost Edmonton to move, and 10th OA is worth more than everything Edmonton offered.... Bouchard Lucic Kassian For Hutton Sutter

Wtf no
