  1. No it isn't. Unless i missed the sarc. We cant sign any dman in free agency. Just no. Better off trading our 11th pick for a roster player like the Hronek deal
  2. But it increases the chance that we will trade the pick for a roster player. Hronek deal 2.0. Which is probably better than free agency. Free agency will always kill you. Devils fans are already laughing about how overrated their free agent d man is. Just like Scott Gomez and Clarkson. Never sign a free agent Devil
  3. Under a new CBA, we might get a new free buyout window. And OEL can be consigned to that
  4. Chris Faber was on the I Hate This Team podcast. https://open.spotify.com/episode/7eky83xf873VA0h0zyVCdl He says all the players the Canucks interviewed in Buffalo aren't good enough for a #11 pick and that Simashev is
  5. I think we played so hard down the stretch because the decision to buy him out was already made then. They wanted to see what they had with some of these AHL guys.
  6. Yes but this new cap space and what player they use it on , is the next branch of the LE tree. The tree ain't dead. Unfortunately.
  7. Then Bear will be just another one of those guys like Stretcher that everyone wishes we still had
  8. This buyout is more polarizing than I expected. The short term thinking ppl like it. The longer term thinking ppl hate it. But the argument is over 1 year. Nobody is arguing that OEL should have played out his deal. Nobody would have been surprised if they didn't buy him out this year.
  9. Bullshit. The Sedins played for less than they could have got in free agency. They gave up some salary for our loyalty. God is it annoying when some team wins the cup and then some narrative gets invented about it. Like Vegas agressivness.
  10. Ah yes. Like that hasn't been tried before. There was nothing unique or innovative by what Vegas did. Paul Holmgren did this with the Flyers his whole career. And he doesn't have a cup
  11. Jim Rutherford has some pretty big free agent defensman misses on his record too. Like Jack Johson. Just imagine JR overpays for some Dman at free agency , who will need a buyout for his last 2 years if we are lucky. So the negative energy of the OEL trade might carry on for 10+ years.
  12. That's not exactly true though. If he plays one more year , it reduces the buyout length by a year and defers the nasty recapture period by a year.
  13. The contracts coming off the books are ones that will need to be re written at higher cap hits.
  14. It is dumb. But this POHO GM and coach don't have 5 year deals. They have a year or 2. So it's all back to Aquilini and his desperation nonsense. This is why JR was hired in the first place.
  15. Too many moving parts. They won't be able to swing a restructure like this.
  16. Oh ffs get tf out. Scott Gomez? There's tons of worse trades
  17. Best counter argument to the buyout bros so far. Now we also risk the specter of him signing a 1 year deal and playing like a top 4 guy next season. That will be egg on our face. Where as if we wait another year , it makes him 1 year older and less likely to make us look stupid
  18. Potential ? It's free agency. It's almost guaranteed.
  19. Watch him sign for 1 million and win a cup as a 5th dman
  20. The sad thing is , if he was granted a 3-5 year window for a plan , he might have been able to build a cup team
  21. I swear the cacophony that Canucks fans manage to make around our players and management gets around the league and rubs off on everyone. Boeser or Garlund isn't tradeable because of canucks fans. Benning or Green doesn't get another job bc of Canucks fans.
  22. Fair grading. Bur there is almost no "no brainers" in drafting without hindsight. Except the Mcdavids and Crosbys. You know who else was a no brainer for us ? Jordan Scheoeder. Teams passed on Hughs bc they thought he could be the Schroeder of defensman.
  23. There was also this. It was just a terrifying free agent class. Some argue he was used in defensive situations and that pushed his production down. Troy Brouwer – RW Blues Flames 4 yrs, $18M ($4.5M AAV)
