  1. They won the trade, in the short term. The next 4 years there's no reason to believe there'll be a drop off from Weegar or Huberdeau. But who knows how these two look going into their mid 30s. But, Calgary has a window which is right now. So they're paying a premium for Marky, Huberdeau and Weegar's mid to late 30s for a chance at a cup now. They're a good team on paper. Gonna be interesting to see how this turns out for them in the short term. Cause long term there is immense risk overpaying so many dudes. But, there's always the chance they maintain some form going into their mid to late 30s. So it could just turn out to be a great trade for them even if they don't win a cup.
  2. I am pretty sure McJesus will have no issues getting paid at 29. We see 30+ years olds get paid all the time. They aren't on McDavid's level either.
  3. Is the league gonna pull a NBA with a luxury tax? Their cap structure is already ass from 2 players making 11mil each. What's gonna happen when they have one dude making 16mil? Lol.
  4. I am sure Petey would have loved that. UFA at the earliest time.
  5. It's a topic we had little to no info about on a person that had a pretty minor role in the org. The only reason people are talking about it is cause they wanna cook the organization for being "woke" and potentially just to attack what's her face cause she's a girl I guess. Like, it's been non stop speculation and "rumor" baiting about how she's a terrible person and now people are asking if she's sleeping around the organization. This topic has been dumb from the outset and has only become more dumb as the pages and speculation dives further and further out of control.
  6. Can we lock this thread? It's getting stupid now. Edit: Scratch that, it's been stupid. Now it's just getting flat out ridiculous.
  7. Zac Dalpe is still playing hockey, making 6 figures in the minors as a matter of fact. I don't think Gaunce is done. His dreams of being a regular NHLer is borderline gone. But he's far from done from hockey. He has some talent to make a niche in the AHL, maybe with the occasional callup if injuries strike.
  8. I think people are missing one key factor when talking Petey extension. Miller. If he continues to be our best player, management can use internal cap structure to keep Petey's price down. Similarly to how we did it with the Sedins. You're not our best player, why would we pay you over 2mil more than our best player? It really depends on the next couple seasons. But I think 9mil would be entirely fair for Petey. If he becomes our true 1c, then we can debate a higher price. But as of now. He's not worth more than Miller. Let alone 9mil+. But again, we still have 2 seasons of his current contract left anyway. As for Barzal's deal. It's weird, cause his stats aren't mind blowing. But his roster is kind of ass. Anders Lee is the 2nd best forward. He had 46 points last season. So Barzal isn't exactly playing with any good players. A lot of middle 6 guys. At least Petey is playing with a point per game player and a 20 goal scorer. Lots of spots to pick up points.
  9. To be fair, 5 years ago Bo was 22 and Couturier was 25. A little unfair of a comparison. But I feel you. Bergeron who is applauded for his defense isn't a shotblocking god or a big time hitter. Couturier is legit two way guy. I agree, Horvat's defense isn't near Couturier's. I would give anything for his defense to be at that level. I think we overrate him here cause he takes so many faceoffs. Love Bo, but if he can even come close to Couturier's defensive prowess we'd have one of the best top 6's in the NHL. That'd be game changing for our PK and our team in general.
  10. Reminds me of that time we waived Sam Gagner and the league for some reason decided they cared about him and said it was bad form to waive him. That was weird.
  11. Feel like their garbage joke would have been less garbage if they said "Sprong has sprung." But I guess nothing could realistically make that joke good.
  12. UFA next summer, I wouldn't do a lot for him. He's a lefty but he puts himself in front of a lot of pucks. Can play a good amount of minutes, but probably shouldn't. Hogs, cap dump (Pearson type, not bad but needed cap going the other way to balance cap in cap out), and a conditional 2nd. Doesn't sound like much, but Sanheim isn't a world beater.
  13. Sadly he is a forward Pilon, but I am sure he can be a D pylon with the rest of what we have if we ask him nicely.
  14. I didn't realize Bo was 18, and Slovakian, and a Montreal Canadien. WAIT. He isn't any of those things. I sure hope we extend him.
  15. I dunno what is happening in this thread anymore, but I seen someone mention porn and got excited momentarily. Excuse me while I clean up.
  16. Would be the equivalent of wiping your ass with a dirty diaper in all honesty.
  17. You don't like overhyping prospects, getting mad when they fail or suck at a junior tourney, and blame the organization when 5th rounders aren't all Brendan Gallaghers and Henrik Zetterbergs?
  18. I consider myself pretty hardcore on my Canuck fandom. But to devote 9 pages to someone so low on the totem pole. It was weird when we had a Judd Brackett phase. But at least he was at the forefront of something. She was an assistant to the video coach? We gonna start caring about the guy handing out popcorn too? Y'all wild.
  19. Chuck E Cheese gig for good ol Galchenyuk. Nothin' wrong with that job. I think.
  20. Absolute steal, no way they give him up for anything short of a massive haul. Especially after what Lundkvist got. This is the type of D-man we desperately need.
  21. The Miller deal already looks like a bargain thanks to the Huberdeau and MacKinnon deals. But I agree it'll be nice for the cap to increase and we get out from some of this dead cap.
  22. Yeah that's why we started debating about this generation being lazy, that's a much more comfortable conversation. And I can find the old people I can start ignoring for their dumb takes.
  23. Have you seen this market? It costs more to rent than to own in some cases. Got any cardboard boxes with good wifi?
