The Flames can have Markstrom (knee? Groin?) Tanev (everything hurts) and Leivo (bunk kneecap) We have Holtby, Schmidt and a plethora of young, high power stars. I have no worries.

[Signing] Canucks sign Jayce Hawryluk

As opposed to signing Holtby, McEwen, Gaudette and trading for Schmidt? Yeah I guess it’s something eh? -
If Toffoli wasn’t signed even though rare is such a perfect fit, Then Eriksson is here for the remaining of his contract.

[Speculation] Finnish sniper Laine on the board

And excellent problem to have lol -
We’re a playoff team. Not one question. In fact, I believe we are better than last year. Horvat. Pettersson. Hughes. Boeser. Gaudette. Demko. All one year older. No more Tanev-injury-riddled seasons. Addition by subtraction. Upgrade in goal with Holtby (we’ll see it). A Miller-type quality acquisition on defense in Schmidt. Room for more rookies such as Juolevi to pick a spot... So we just gained the 2020 Stanley Cup Favorites’ #1 defenseman and the 2018 Stanley Cup and Vezina goaltender, who is of the same age as the one that left. If that is not improvement, I don’t know what is. We’ll be fine.

Ha! ”He’s not Nate Schmidt...”

Well I’m pretty satisfied with this off season. The idea that we don’t have a 1st or a 2nd at the draft has passed so that’s done with, and we still have Miller. Markstrom for that many years was not the right deal for a team on the rise and in constant flux. Tanev is always injured and last year was the actual anomaly of his career. Toffoli would’ve really have been nice but he was brought in to continue the road toward the playoffs and that’s 10 goals that got us there. And the experience the kids got will last an eternity. Motte was all over the ice during the playoffs. Deserves to be on this team no question. McEwen is a big kid and lots of energy. If there’s one person that could derail Virtanen out of Vancouver, it may be him. The Holtby signing is absolutely perfect. A Vezina trophy recipient and a Stanley Cup winner of the same age as Markstrom will mentor Demko for the next two years, and may even rejuvenate his own career working with Ian Clarke. And now Benning acquires top D Schmidt for a 3rd in 2022? Life is very good friends. Life is excellent in Canucks Nation.

[Signing] Canadiens sign Tyler Toffoli

So it cost Madden and a 2nd to make the playoffs. Imagine the damage should the Canucks not have had gotten a replacement for Boeser and not made the playoffs. Madden isn’t going tip a Stanley Cup in any way. Not making the playoffs would’ve been a tragedy that would’ve cost a lot more people’s jobs. -
