  1. Well... Any offense is welcome to our bottom 6... The guy is capable of scoring 30 pts in a full season so $750k is a real steal!
  2. hahaha... doubt it.... Seattle got a pretty deep team now.. their top 6 are set with Donskoi, Eberle, Gourde, Johansson, McCann, Schwartz... even Wennberg is good enough to crack their top 6!! Oh well... let's hope JB is able to find some good bargains to shore up our bottom 6!! Honestly, Podz doesn't HAVE TO start on our 3rd line... I know he's got talent but as a rookie transitioning his game into N. America... he's not gonna get upset starting the season on the 4th line... remember that's where Captain Bo started too with us on a line with Dorsett and Kenins!
  3. I don't get how we could miss out on this guy... even at $850k, I'd be happy to get him... easy upgrade over Highmore and Di Giuseppe...
  4. O..............k... point taken!! So.... let's just hope that Bozak or whoever with the same calibre will join us at $800-900k before season starts!! Let's keep hoping!!
  5. Great team guy!!! Would be a huge addition to our 4th line... well.. let's hope Highmore can step up this season!! this is his last shot to stick in the NHL
  6. Anisimov just signed a PTO with Colorado..... but JB should technically be able to snatch him with a real contract at $900k? let's find out if Podz likes some russian buddy/mentor first
  7. OK Dude.... let's clarify a few things... what kind of stuff did I make up??? I was simply speculating on any possible cap space available AFTER extending Hughes & Petey.... fair to say it'll be extremely tough to bring in decent forwards to upgrade our 3rd/4th lines UNLESS there are players that desperate... hope I'm wrong!
  8. Me?? making stuff up?? you can do the easy math too right? PTO's rarely work out.... and the last time we signed one up was Jack Skille even though we had a better guy in Tuomo Ruutu. so...... are you saying JB should be able to bring in DECENT players like Gusev, Donato, Galchenyuk, Eric Staal before the start of the season at league minimum and shuffle down Highmore/Di Giuseppe/Dowling?? BRAVO!!!!!!
  9. Well... not exactly... but did you hear him say he'll continue to explore the FA/trade market?? our cap space is tigher than a frog's ass now trying to fit in both Petey and Hughes... MAYBE if lucky we'll end up with a cap space of $900k???
  10. Sucks that JB won't consider any more additions even on PTO's until we have extended Hughes & Petey.... I feel like our 3rd/4th line can still use some help!
  11. you have caught my attention... and one of my fingers is standing straight UP!
  12. Agreed!! And Anisimov could be an ideal mentor for Podz too!! Don't think he'll demand more than $1.5M!
  13. I also wanna see Gusev and Anisimov instead of Di Giuseppe and Highmore.... But we'll have zero $ left after bringing back Hughes and Petey.... Unless we are trading away Sutter and Pearson!?
  14. Damnnnn.... so much for "highly coveted" by JB some years ago..... I wish he played a bit more physical and could also do a decent job at centre... then he would have more value than Motte/Highmore! But best of luck to him!!
  15. ya OK boy!! you are the one policing the tone/language of the posts here now.... did I explicitly say I hate Russians or something?? how da heck do you make a negative situation sound.... neutral? are u burying your head in the sand these days?? If you didn't agree with my comment and wanted to challenge, then make a constructive counter-argument, i.e. proof that KHL had never accepted former NHL players with bad records.... OK? Don't frigging twist my words
  16. I suggest you go take a nice look on Google and search up former NHL players with all sorts of disciplainary issues now employed in the KHL! Please do it? My statement was not to stir up hate but present facts.
  17. No surprise right?? The Russians will take garbage from N. America.... wife beaters? no problem! hate mail? no problem! homophobic? no problem! ... and I am not even joking...
  18. I like that too but got a bigger fish to fry... Petey and Hughes still haven't signed yet!!
  19. Me too!! but where's the cap space coming from?? he won't come cheap... at least $2M? I was hoping we would pick up Svechnikov and see he can gel with Podz.... cuz our team needs more skill & speed... not more 4th line guys... we got enough with Sutter, Motte, Z-Mac, Highmore, Di Giussepe, etc....
  20. Oh damn it... they beat us to Big Bad Joe... I've always wanted him in Canucks jersey for over 2 decades now.. he can still get the job done for us at $750k... I'd take him over Z-Mac who may or may not play consistently physicaly for us... I mean, sure big Mac is a lot younger and faster but other than that.... Big Bad Joe is lethan on PP and he does throw some ruthless hits!!!
  21. After tax, agents' fees, some lavish spendings, some small bad investments over the years.... he should still have $30M in the bank plus 8 properties!!
  22. Damn right!! having the potential to reach McDavid/Ovechkin is one thing.... But having achieved great things for the team for 5+ seasons is another... somebody should call up his agent to tell him either to accept a bridge deal now and prove he's a megastar for real or just request a trade... let's not waste each other's time!
  23. totally... and I applaud JB for making the gutsy move with the OEL trade.... we would rather have OEL and Garland ASAP than be stuck w/ Beagle/Roussel/Eriksson for one more season... that's just too painful to take! we still got time... and let's hope this Petey situation won't turn out to be another Eichel fiasco!
  24. Doesn't matter if Petey actually said those words... his agent is clearly playing mindgames... they know damn well the Canucks struggle to pay him max $ with Hughes looking for a big contract too... so, here's their simple tactic... you have to pay Petey insane $ now to keep him happy since you cannot build a winning team right now for the next lil while... BUT... if we already have a Stanley Cup contender calibre team, why da FUG would we burn a hole in our wallet to pay just YOU at $9-10M?????
