[Report] Ben Hutton to become UFA
RakuRaku replied to BertaNuck's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Saw a Dhaliwal tweet that JB is still interested in bringing Hutton back. What is the point?? I'm sure we can find capable replacement for cheaper deal! I'm all for bringing back Schenn to take over from Biega. But keeping Hutton means we are pretty much back to the same old... Ideally, Edler - $$$ FA $FA - Stecher Hughes - Schenn/Sautner/Rafferty Time to move on from Hutton & Tanev!!! -
[Rumour] Canucks interested in Gustav Nyquist
RakuRaku replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Baertschi - injury prone and inconsistent, trade bait to shed $3M! Virtanen - inconsistent, better suited for 3rd - energy line, still cheap to keep hold of Goldobin - super inconsistent, Green is sick of him! We just need one more capable top 6 guy!! -
[Report] Eriksson “NOT” likely to be moved on
RakuRaku replied to Provost's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Or.. E) trade him with Goldobin + 3rd round picks in 2021, 2022 for whatever!!! -
[Report] Eriksson “NOT” likely to be moved on
RakuRaku replied to Provost's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
What will likely happen with Eriksson? A) he keeps playing for us as a bonafide PKer making $6M B) traded to Edmonton for Lucic + C) sent on waivers, chilling in Utica making $6M D) he refuses to play for us ever again coz the guy got pride and it ain't right to rob us a penny more!!! -
[TRADE] Erik Haula to Carolina
RakuRaku replied to CanucksCountry's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
In case you didn't know, we are gonna be right up against the cap ceiling soon with Boeser's new contract, Luongo's sweet retirement penalty, signing of a top D-man... we gotta find low cost, high reward players for our top 6! Say bye bye to well established forwards like Nyquist! Haula > Spooner/Goldobin??! -
[TRADE] Erik Haula to Carolina
RakuRaku replied to CanucksCountry's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Oh JB... why not take a chance on this guy and ditch Spooner?? -
Sure, I'm cool with 2 years, $1M per. He better not disappear again...
-
If this guy was a bit grateful for the opportunity to ressurect his career, he would've accepted a 1-year, $1.5M by now.... he's probably holding out for 2-year, $4M....
-
OJ had been cleared to resume skating... should be ready to show his stuff in preseason. Now that Hutton is likely gone, OJ better step up to claim that spot!! I really feel for this kid... nothing was going right in last 2 years... and the fans lost faith and patience thinking Tkachuk should've been picked instead... well no duh based on recent #s.... but they got another 13-15 years to go!

[Rumour] Canucks interested in Gustav Nyquist
RakuRaku replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Well... I was being half sarcastic... of coz Perry isn't the most ideal solution... just really sucks that we are under even more pressure to ditch Sutter and Tanev to free up cap space + buy our Schaller and Spooner. -

RakuRaku replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Sure... so sounds like you're content with Goldobin in your top 6. -
[Rumour] Canucks interested in Gustav Nyquist
RakuRaku replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Now that we are getting the Lu salary recapture penalty.... forget signing Nyquist for $5M+ AAV....and he's undersized and soft anyway... so just bring in Corey Perry if healthy!! He's big, tough, can score a crap load of PP goals... pretty sure he'd take 2 years, $5M deal. But then again he'll probably consider contenders first. -
[Report] Eriksson “NOT” likely to be moved on
RakuRaku replied to Provost's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Again, it's all relative to what's more likely to happen right? The teams have discussed at least internally about the swap. I doubt there are teams actively thinking "Hmmm... let's help Vancouver with their Eriksson nightmare and we'll probably get a 1st round pick out of them!" -
[Report] Eriksson “NOT” likely to be moved on
RakuRaku replied to Provost's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Yup totally.... time to get creative dealing Sutter and Tanev too. We need to somehow get more competitive while refreshing this roster! -
[Report] Eriksson “NOT” likely to be moved on
RakuRaku replied to Provost's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Fair point!! But we lack size and toughness still as Schaller failed to play that role! Also, Lucic is now wanting to play for us while Eriksson doesn't get along with Green anymore... That's why JB needs to squeeze more out of the Oilers for the extra $6M. Let's say no other takers for Eriksson... you still want him to mope around either here or in Utica?? The owner isn't prepared to buy out his contract.... -
[Report] Eriksson “NOT” likely to be moved on
RakuRaku replied to Provost's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
For those Lucic haters out there, their argument for being better off holding on to Eriksson doesn't even hold water! Just looked up quick stats on both for last 3 seasons: Eriksson had 0.39 point ppg, avg-7 a season, missed tons of games Lucic had 0.43 ppg, avg -8, hardly missed games, younger and much tougher! So ppl are bashing Lucic on his foot speed but not like Eriksson is any faster... we just need to negotiate better to get more out of Edmonton for the extra year of $6M. Sure... a more ideal scenario would be getting Ottawa or Arizona to pick up Eriksson and a 3rd round pick while we retain 25-50% of the salary... but how likely???? -
Why lol?? You don't think we could've spent less $, less term for an equally capable guy but younger than Beagle?
-
I hope this cap hit doesn't mean we'll be stuck with Biega and Goldobin.... please just no!!! This offseason is supposed to bring us upgrades to both ends of the ice.... last summer JB was stupid enough to waste $ on Beagle and Schaller....

Looks like a playoff team on paper! But we all know Sutter and Baertschi will miss games..... better find takers for them!! Also, we should develop Gaudette as a full time centre! -

Well... he's not as good anymore... what's the point? To keep Motte and Schaller on the edge? -

Yes!! He was riding on a super hot streak with McDavid for a lil while.... then wheels fell off... how can you blame him? -

But knowing JB well.... he's gonna pick up Cousins and Ritchie!! Just wait for it when he fails to land a Nyquist or a Marcus Johansson calibre UFA. "These guys got great potential to fit in well with our group! They just need to be given a fair chance!" Fans should be happy they are better than Megna/Chaput!!
