[Signing] Sean Avery signs with the Orlando Solar Bears

Oh my god I hate this guy... -
[Rumour] J.T. Miller Trade/Contract Talks
Nave replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
He'd be pretty sick with Pettersson. Him and Horvat could talk about their London Knights days. Kidding aside. Isn't the reason we might trade Miller because we don't want to give him a huge contract? How is taking in $11M/year achieving that? -

Marner is their best player besides Matthews, and he's only 24 years old. -

Never going to happen. -
[Rumor] Canucks interested in Jacob Chychrun as a TDL acquisition
Nave replied to Odd.'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Hughes played terrible defense last year. He's head and shoulders better in that department now. I'm not saying Chychrun is a horrible player. I think he's worth his contract, and his ability to play the right side is intriguing. But I don't want to give up our 1st for Chychrun. That is probably what the Coyotes want. -

I don't want to see Miller in a Leafs jersey... -
[Rumor] Canucks interested in Jacob Chychrun as a TDL acquisition
Nave replied to Odd.'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
He's having a pretty bad season. Has the worst +/- in the league considering he's played only 39 games. It's not--like some people say--a useless stat. Just needs context. The next worst +/- on the Coyotes is Antoine Roussel with -18... -

[PGT] Seattle Kraken at Vancouver Canucks | Feb. 21, 2022
Nave replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
The Alien Elias Pettersson is back. The Lammikko trade is looking really good right now. Hope we keep him with Motte for a long time. Loved seeing Podkolzin score, and get rewarded for his effort. -
[Rumour] Canucks interested in Pavel Zacha
Nave replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I understand that. It's not just that he's 6'6"--he's also 230 pounds and has a mean streak. But the league is trending to speed, so I think it's better if we get a big guy who can skate. -
[Rumour] Canucks interested in Pavel Zacha
Nave replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
A lot of people here are fascinated with Bahl's size, but a defensive prospect I'd prefer to get is Shakir Mukhamudullin. He's 6'4", so not much shorter than Bahl, but unbelievably good at deking and transitions for his size. -
[Rumour] Canucks interested in Andrei Kuzmenko
Nave replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Did they ever play on the same line? -
Yeah that makes sense. I definitely remembered the graph wrong--thought it was board battles and not puck battles, and thought Boeser was top 10 not top 15. Still pretty interesting though. Boeser is definitely an opportunistic player.
-
I definitely buy that the Devils are interested in Boeser... Boeser with Jack Hughes would be sick. They don't really have a sniper that they could pair with Hughes, other than some guys that are in the system and not ready to be called up yet. They'd probably pay a lot to get Boeser. As a Devils fan 2nd and a Canucks fan 1st, I would love to see it.

[Rumour] Bo Horvat Trade/Contract Talks
Nave replied to HOFsedins's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
A sign and trade is rare in the NHL, but much more common in the NBA. For our purposes it might be a good idea. -
There's no way the Devils would ever trade Luke Hughes. They have already committed so much to Jack, and Luke is developing really well.
-
Yeah that's what I was referring to. He still wins more puck battles than not going against big defensemen much of the time. Maybe I was being too hyperbolic, but it's an interesting stat and I wouldn't have guessed. To Rekker's point though, it's weird that Matthews is #2.

[Rumour] J.T. Miller Trade/Contract Talks
Nave replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Demko deserves the lion share of the blame for last night's game. Doesn't mean that he's not still our MVP, but when goalies have bad games they get pulled. Blaming it all on Bo doesn't make any sense. He was only -1 and won 64% of his faceoffs. Sure he had a penalty that led to a goal, but it's not his fault our PK is abysmal. -
He has a goal scorer's instincts and quick release; is an underrated playmaker and low key one of the best in the league at winning board battles. How is he not skilled?

[Rumour] Bo Horvat Trade/Contract Talks
Nave replied to HOFsedins's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
You mean the bubble playoffs when he scored some game-changing goals? Without him we do not beat the defending champs. How is a middle C who is consistently on pace for 50+ points bad to have? He's still doing the toughest minutes and most draws. The only way I trade Bo is if we can sign Miller to a steal of a contract now, and bring in a top 4 RHD. -
We shouldn't expect Rutherford and Allvin to trade Boeser just because they want speed. They want speed and skill, and Boeser is very skilled. If he gets traded now, it will be because he's an RFA at the end of the season, and is commanding a $7.5M qualifying offer. Boeser seems like the kind of guy who will want to sign a long term team-friendly contract. He's only 24, so a 7 or 8 year deal is not as much of a risk as it usually is. With how bad our power play is at gaining the zone and scoring, we shouldn't be in a rush to trade one of our savviest man advantage guys.

[Rumour] Bo Horvat Trade/Contract Talks
Nave replied to HOFsedins's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Between Horvat and Miller, we will probably keep Horvat just because he is more affordable and younger, regardless of who is captain. Would like to keep them both, but we don't know what kind of discussions Miller is having with head office. We don't know how much he is asking for. Miller is the more valuable player right now. We're blessed we got him for a 1st rounder, 3rd rounder, and Mazanec. We shouldn't trade him unless we get significantly more than what we got him for. Anything comparable is a loss. -
8-0-1 start was maybe the worst thing to happen with this club.
Nave replied to Canuckfanforlife82's topic in Canucks Talk
The point streak was much needed for our confidence. We don't want to have a losing culture when rookies join the team. -
I can see Boeser scoring 30+ this season. He didn't really get going until Boudreau joined us. If he helps us make the playoffs it's going to be hard for us to not resign him.
-
I know what you mean. Boeser only fits part of the "speed and skill" mantra. He deserves more than $7M on the open market, but we can't really afford that.
