      Leafs sign depth players = genius.

      Canucks signing depth players = confusing.

      Leaf sign depth players because they NEED depth players 

      Canucks sign depth players because that's what Vancouver does. We need depth players to play behind our depth players when your roster is full of what most teams consider depth players why sign more depth players. Buying time for the kids fine but filling a roster for the sake of filling a roster doesn't equal a win. 

  2. Can we please resign Horvat so we can offer leon draisaitl 9 million for 8 years.

      If LD signed our offers sheet at 9million a year Edmonton would receive our next four first round picks. Not worth it at all.

      Yeah, I just called it a trade instead of compensation. My bad. Hopefully we can find a stud Centre of Pettersson pans out and becomes a solid 1C. Imagine if we got LD, and then we win the lottery only for Edmonton to get em.

      Vancouver CAN'T offer 8 years, Only Edmonton can.  And Edmonton would match $9m

  3. If I was an all star like Crosby, McDavid etc. I'd so take a discount so my team could acquire other star players. Sure they deserve that much, but honestly McDavid could take 8 million a year. He is in a Canadian Market and could make millions in ads/ endorsements.

      Can't you make a public announcement why you signed for what. anywhere between 8 to 10 million he should be fine. You still have the other elites to compare yourself with?

      Many, many years ago the Detroit Red Wings would give Gordie Howe a blank cheque for his contract. They would tell him to fill it in with whatever he felt he was worth. They knew Gordie was a very humble farm boy and would fill the cheque in with an amount which was much less than he was worth. Detroit and every other team would use that contract to keep salaries artificially depressed. It took a guy like Ted Lindsay to stand up to the owners and they finally got a players' union. The same would happen if McDavid signed for less than market value.

      When you discount your rates people tend to value you less.

  4. According to a source, Pettersson could have been a 1st OA choice if he was a bit heavier

      Here's hoping he can gain 20 or so pounds, without compromising speed or skill

    3. Brad Marchand

      Pettersson's biggest strengths are his hands and hockey IQ, so I don't think adding extra weight will be a concern for him. Might actually help him become a more powerful skater.

      Before falling to 5th, I obviously wanted Hischier over Patrick.

      Then I was really sold on Glass....More I read about Pettersson, he is the dynamic player that I think I wanted the Canucks to add. A player who will dazzle and score some beauties. Drafting Lind/Gadjovich later makes the Pettersson pick even sweeter. Skill, size, grit, hard work, etc.

  5. Should have traded Tanev for Kapenen and the pick. Turned out to be Liljegren

    1. King Heffy

      King Heffy

      Tanev would bring back a way better return at the deadline.

  6. Pettersson has the highest ceiling. If him and Dahlen can gel together in the NHL, I'm happy

  7. Dahlen is happy. Pettersson is happy. I'm happy, just wish we traded down for him then
  8. Would you be willing to take on Hossa's contract over the next 4 years for their 1st rd and 2nd rd pick?

      There's not much difference in the quality of the prospects in the second half of the first round.  Or basically past the first several picks.  Once you get out of the top 10, it's a crap-shoot.

      if it was 2018 I think we'd have to really consider it 

    4. Wilbur

      Why does Chicago want to get rid of it.  By the sounds of it Hossa's got the LTIR golden ticket so there isn't any urgency.

  9. I'll be in class trying to find a live a stream and on twitter lol
  10. Has anyone found any deals on Reebok Jerseys? Found a blank jersey for $90, Sedins are $140, Horvat 190 at this one shop.

  11. Apparently in 2015, Benning went hard after Lucic, but it would have cost the Canucks Markstrom, their 23rd overall pick that year and a prime prospect to bring Lucic home.

      kanucks25

      Yeah because we were competing for the Cup this past season? Lucic will be like 33 by the time we're ready to compete, Eriksson even older.

      Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't do that trade at all.  Just don't understand the hate for Lucic. 

    4. kanucks25

      kanucks25

      I don't hate him whatsoever, he's a solid player and unique in today's game. I hate the thought of trading for and signing older players to long-term contracts when we should be accumulating picks and prospects instead.

  12. Cant remember the source, but someone was saying before the freeze theres is a big trading coming between NYI & MTL

    1. smithers joe

      probably eklund. 

    2. Nuxfanabroad

      Nuxfanabroad

      Price for Halak & future consolations(E4)?

  13. Hypothetically: Would 5OA + Tanev + minor assets get us the 1st OA? 

     

    Still would rather use Tanev to get the 3rd OA while keeping our 5th..but yeah

      Depends on the other team's needs somewhat. All else equal, I'd say that's probably close to getting the deal done. I wouldn't want to do it, but that's probably close to what it would take.

    3. TimberWolf

      TimberWolf

      I guess you first should ask yourself if you were a team with the first if that package would entice you to part with it. I would say no, personally. 

    4. JM_

      JM_

      it should be for NJ. From our pov, you have to wonder, when Bo has downtime from injury or slumps, who's going to carry the team? No one right now, so you could justify adding Nico at this price but it would sting for a bit. 

  14. Montreal is sure busy this week, its like their in $&!# for Subban making it to GM 6 of the finals and are trying to make everything better.

      Prob a collective sigh of relief..imagine the embarrassment if PK was running around Ontario, rubbing it in by parading the Cup?!

      Bergevin appears to be a on a Year long bender that started with the Subban deal.

      Bergevin is under pressure to win now.  I don't get his moves at all.  Now all the rumours of Chucky, and even read some people suggesting Price.  Crazy times in Habland

  15. So based on that trade, what is Tanev's value?

      There are very specific circumstances that went into the MTL/TBL trade. Don't even think about trying to draw any comparisons from this trade, lol.

      I think he could go for anything after the 10th pick in the draft, depending what the team needed.. but opinions vary. lol
