TSN reports OEL is off the trade block for Boston and Vancouver. ....Yay
-
OEL is going to be expensive.
-
I think Jim is going with some Utica players...he needs to lose some dead money to sign Toffoli and another (Tanev)...if anything. Signing Wennberg would be good if they get him cheap.

Four Canucks in TSN top 18 FAs

Lol...Calgary time, I've been flying back and forth to Vancouver....don't know what time zone I'm in half the time...lol but the Early bird gets the worm...

Now is the time that JB can make this team great.... Free Agency begins...

960thefan...knows how to talk hockey...

Will be happy if JB moves past this rumour, OEL has played a lot of meaningless games in his career for a team that has finished dead last in the conference for a few years. This is why his stats need to be taken with a grain of salt. Remember when the Canucks were at the bottom of the conference, they played a lot of meaningless games with prospects playing in the line up because they were out of the playoff race just after christmas, plus they had injuries.

Sometimes a player needs to take a step back, look around, and realize he may have it pretty good playing for a team that signed him when nobody else wanted him. At one point, Duclair went on waivers and nobody picked him up....I know he had a good season, but sometimes it's better to prove that you can stick and play consistent in order to get more money down the road. Duclair isn't recognizing the situation he is in and how other teams view him. Going on waivers and nobody picking him up is a big sign.

Wennberg>Turris>Gaudette Sign Wennberg to a cheap short term deal Package Gaudette to get a good dman Buyout Sutter
-
4th line minutes and they lost 4-1....they need to move him up a couple of lines and play him more...maybe they will have a better chance at winning.
-
Yeah, I am not saying he is a bad player now, but the contract....how did Luo put it?....oh yeah, "my contract sucks". Look what it is doing to our team now. No more bad contracts. OEL's contract is a bad contract.
-
deja vu...people were saying the same thing about LE when he was signed....a 30 goal scorer blah, blah, blah....and not seeing how the contract will run its course. do not touch the OEL contract with a 10 foot pole ....stay away from it, please JB, I ask this one thing from you.
-
I lean more toward a New England Patriot model of building a franchise where they try not to have any bad contracts...not even for one year during the duration of a contract.
-
Yeah, and one of those seasons, 5 years ago, the team ended dead last in the conference. He did lead the team in scoring, but on a bad team. Do these stats mean much playing on a dead last team? Plus this was five years ago....during that time the team ended dead last in another year. If anything, I'm on record for saying to not touch this contract because it will end up like an LE contract and hamstring (cripple) this team for a few years, just like what is happening with LE. Please do not cripple this team, period.
-
IMHO, it is the kid in the candy store scenario which only leads to regret for buying what you bought without considering everything....7 year at $8.25M player who hasn't done anything special and has average stats.
-
OEL will be a mistake...he isn't a franchise defensemen...overrated. In a few years, he will bring the same sentiments as LE to this fanbase. Do not repeat the same mistake that was done by signing LE. This time, it will be a $8.25M mistake.
-
too bad for Boucher, wrong time for him, the Canucks were a bad hockey team with and without him.

[Rumour] The Arizona Coyotes shopping the rights to Taylor Hall
Pete M replied to -DLC-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
If JB shuffles the deck chairs and signs Hall instead of Toffoli (if he can find the money), then our right and left side would look good, our top 6 would be even more of a threat, and it would give guys like Lind an opportunity in one or two years to make this team as a RW. leave no stone unturned. On second thought, Hall sacrifices defense to get points...Toffoli doesn't....need to sign Toffoli
