  1. What did we ever do not to deserve Matthews or Laine ...

      I'm more upset we wasted a pick on Virtanen, who couldnt even shake it in the AHL last season, over Nylander (already a 60+ pt scorer in the NHL), Ehlers (already a 60+ pt scorer in the NHL), Larkin and multiple other superior prospects, than I am over not getting Matthews or Laine over Juolevi.

      The lottery isnt in our control but who we pick is 

  2. The regular season can't start soon enough. Spending too much time in my own head (and watching clips of other prospects) and starting to doubt the future of this team.

     

    BE GONE OFF-SEASON BLUES.

      I agree. This is taking too long. I feel like it's dragging on too because I wake up every day hoping Bo has signed.

      im hockey deprived....CDC isn't as entertaining in the offseason.

  3. Dialogue is so $&!# now. And 'Dany', really? Just leak the rest of the show so we can get this over with.

      Kes, is that one guy who doesn't try to be funny, but everything he does is just hilarious.

  5. I understand the wing isn't his position but he really needs to show more for a top flight draft pick. Tie him at the hip to the Sedins for two years please.
  6. Yeah, hope he can mold himself into a Burrows/Kunitz esque complimentary player..
  7. If he goes to the AHL ... how early can we start the Boeser for 2018 USA Olympic squad hype?

      @mll you sure about that? Didn't Higgins play in the AHL on an NHL contract?

      @Hortankin How does the Higgins situation have anything to do with the Olympics though.

      @ZhukiniI thought he was saying he couldn't play in the AHL because he had an NHL contract. My bad lol

  8. So I bought a foam roller today and used it for about fifteen minutes just now. In terms of pure unadulterated pleasure I'd put it on par or just below sex. This thing is going to get some mileage out of me. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

      @BananaMash Hush bb, I'll never forget it too... and I'd go on but I can't afford to get banned over explicit material on CDC.

       

      If y'all feel like digging deeper you're free to read the piece of literature recounting that fateful evening I will be releasing in the near future ... 'Bananas in Barzal - A Memoir'

       

      @Cramarossa I'll see you at Celebs. Just be warned, if you ain't a freak you ain't for me.

      Freaks are where it's at anyway. We all want us a freak.

  9. This year will be telling of his future as a top six option in my opinion. If he doesn't take a big step forward offensively in Utica I think his ceiling gets knocked down a peg.
  10. Is it wrong that I'm worried about Bo's contract now? These are some scary numbers being tossed around ...

      If I was Bo I would start at 5 years, 6.5 per as my top dollar.

       

      5 years would bring him to unrestricted free agency. But also in 5 years the cap will be much higher and the bar for players like him will be more around the 7M mark. Signing for 8 years would be foolish unless he gets that kind of money.

    3. CRAZY_4_NAZZY

      CRAZY_4_NAZZY

      I'm actually more inclined to sign him a 4 year contract to retain him as a RFA and then go for the long term deal on him.

       

      The more years you buy from his UFA negotiating years will likely cost you a higher caphit which can be dangerous if he doesn't live up to that number.  Plus guys like Sutter will have finally come off his final year on his deal (if he isn't dealt before then) and you can use that money towards Bo.

       

      I would rather sign that kind of deal like a 4x4.75 or 4x5 contract to say okay you earned this but we want to see more too.

       

      As much as it makes me nervous and uneasy, its a good precedent to make for players going forward and future signings for our players.

      yes. his agent is just being an agent. probably waited for unsigned offer sheets as leverage. looking at comparables and also at a bit of intangible stuff like "C" material and being a local favourite, i think it'll be in the 6milx8year range, maybe 8 years 50 mil, something like that. 

  11. Sounds like Tryamkin's Avalanche counterpart in Zadorov might be pulling a quick getaway as well. That sucks.

      @S'all Good ManI believe there is a rule if you fail to sign a 1st round pick a team can get a compensatory pick in the 2nd round, so no harm in trying, especially late in the 1st round.  Otherwise, I agree, a bit of a risky proposition (with the "tweeners" at least, a lot of the high end Russian players tend to stay).

  12. He's so cute. I'm gonna miss having Nylander in my sig to piss Saul off but Elias is my new bae.
  13. One of the two people who stood up in the bar and cheered. Pettersson is a stud.

  14. Just got back from a Canucks draft party. It was just me and one other guy who stood up and cheered when Pettersson was picked. Everybody else was bewildered lmao. I literally can not put into words how ecstatic I am.

      Good ol' BC boy to give our third line some meat and potatoes.

  16. Tryamkin left of his own will for personal reasons. Sbisa is a borderline bottom pairing player on a bottom feeder who's positive contributions are volatile at best. Tanev is the only player where your argument makes sense. And I'd be inclined to agree with you if he wasn't an injury prone 27 year old with his value at an all time high. It just makes too much sense from an asset management point of view to deal him now. Especially if you can get a top 15 pick for him. And just to be blunt, who in the world is he going to be 'sheltering' here. Tanev is a RHD so his potential partners are Hutton, McEneny, Edler. Two of those are seasoned NHL'rs at this point and McEneny is a long shot anyways. If anything Tanev will be partnered with some random UFA who slots in to replace Sbisa. We're sending our boys to the slaughterhouse this year with or without Tanev. He didn't save us last year and he won't be the difference maker this year either. He's a stay at home defenseman who will be stuck staying at home all year because we have nothing but trash to put beside him. /rant
  17. If Green is as high on McEneny as he sounds and Subban impresses at camp we more than likely can afford to lose them. Sign a cheap veteran D man through UFA to pair them with throughout the year.
  18. Are they going to remaster the original? Or do I need to dust off my 360 and pick up a copy?
  19. No, I was watching the game and he simply isn't ready. Yes, I was watching the game and he is definitely ready. Maybe? Why don't you just wait and find out like the rest of us? Ugh. I haven't seen him play but judging by his stats he seems pretty $&!#. I haven't seen him play but his advanced metrics are really promising. Oh really? I love the SR22's. The last name Chatfield has bust written all over it. I'm not sure, what's the circumference of his head?

      Go to your account options in your profile. Do you have status updates turned off?

  21. I agree, I think even if he's able to produce at the NHL level he'll be required to play a defensively sound game and minimize his risk taking whereas in the AHL he'll have a little more freedom to work on his offensive game without being criticized for every mistake he makes.
