  1. NYR seems perfect for Eichel and his attitude. I would love to hate him over there. Hating him in BUF just seems sad.
  2. The highest paid defenseman in the KHL gets paid $1.04 Million. It couldn't have been that much of a gap. I would have been happy with giving Tram $2 mil to see if he sticks for a year or two - even if he doesn't work out in the end. Even now GM JB is rumoured to be trying to a find a Russian player to help acclimatize Podz...
  3. “I told the Canucks what it would take on both a 1 or 2 year term and they told me what they could guarantee today, and the gap was just too wide for Nikita,” Tryamkin’s agent Todd Diamond told Dhaliwal. “Nikita didn’t want to wait and be in a situation like last summer where the team didn’t act and the KHL Club had nearly exhausted its budget.” https://canucksarmy.com/2021/05/02/nikita-tryamkin-signs-2-year-deal-stay-khl/
  4. Larsson, Oleksiak and Risolainen gone... as hesitant I am to bring it up again... It actually makes me more upset that GM JB couldn't get a deal done with Tryamkin. He would have been exactly what we need. Ugh.
  5. Schmidt ain't gonna get that deal done. We would have to add in our 9th to get Kravtsov and possibly a 3rd back.
  6. Hoping to see some knuckle pucks out there...
  7. That was my thinking as well. Now they hold all the leverage over other teams in the Free Market with all of their cap space available. With a couple top 3 picks in the upcoming drafts and a couple more FA core pieces, they'll be sitting pretty good.
  8. Through the Draft. Beniers (2021) and one of Wright, Lambert or Savoie would be a good start.
  9. Vegas has obviously learned their lessons from Tampa. LTIR players is where it's at if you wanna win.
  10. The continued name makes sense and will help build the brand and tradition. The choice of logo, however, is garbage. They should have at least spent some money updating it to an actual logo from this cartoonist image.
  11. A fake Dhaliwal account that has an overt anti-GM JB slant... I wouldn't trust the second hand claim.
  12. So nice to see / hear a crowd again. Even better when it's rooting for the demise of the Bruins.
  13. This is pure garbage by Drance. I would be surprised he isn't sued for the trash he "reports" on. I can't speak of Clark professional today, but I've attended a few of his goaltending camps previously and he is a great guy to work with. He even let me borrow his gear when mine wasn't available.
  14. Wait... didn't we already give them Markstrom, Tanev and Leivo for nothing? I think they owe us for that one sided acquisition. Monahan will do.
  15. Green's system is about limiting quality chances while giving away perimeter shots all day long. If done effectively with sound defenders, the only goals being scored would likely be screened or deflected shots. This is was Chicago used to do to us back in the Sedin era. They kept us to the outside and we struggled hard to develop any quality chances. Green actually impressed me in last years playoffs though - he showed he could adapt. This year is a different story as we are giving up quality chances all over the place - many being two on ones, or breakaways.
  16. Hoglander, in his rookie season, is on pace to match Virtanen's best season as a Canuck if there were to be a full season. Just sayin'. Hoglander 50 gp 12 g 14 a 26 pts .52 ppg Virtanen 69 gp 18 g 18 a 36 pts .52 ppg
  17. Are we investigating Podrick now?
  18. AG's 1 assist was a pretty lazy looking play by him as well. Had high hopes for AG like a lot of people, but he may have hit a crux in terms of his place on a roster: not quite good enough offensively for top 6 and not good enough defensively for bottom 6. Time will tell of course.
  19. They tried to keep him by giving him $&!# icetime with the idea that would force him into a contract... not gonna work. I'm looking forward to Podz being here next year. With him and Hogs in our top 6, we will have a lot more energy than we have seen in the past few years.
  20. While I agree with the sentiment (and a 100% about the new format), I don't think we will have much of a choice moving forward - intentional or not, our season is in tank mode. I would like to see what we have in some of our prospects, especially the ones that have been sitting on the taxi squad all season playing no games and stagnating their development. Play them and get them some game time. Personally, I believe the team is better served by a higher draft pick this year moving forward, so I don't mind pushing onwards in what would be a forced covid tank mode.
