What the hell are you taking that would cause 10 finals?

Tell me about it. BCIT is no joke.

pfft easy

I just think we are already are one of the best teams in the league on the wing. Somehow we need to improve the defence and subtract to add doesn’t help unless we are getting some big shot. Tough to do but hopefully they figure something out. A trade like this could works if we had a secondary trade in place to move out a winger and bring in another RH defencemen 

I wouldn't say it's subtracting to add help; Myers costs 2x of what Ceci does, so in essence you're getting Myers for half price by getting Ceci, then if/ when Poolparty's value improves (e.g. if they put him on PP 1 and he starts scoring) then we could flip his $3 million contract to address defensive needs (with injuries, inevitably some team will want a winger, either Miller or Poolparty or someone else, and we'd have a prime asset to flip for that RD from a desperate team e.g. if the Islanders don't land Kadri and still have scoring issues, we could flip Poolparty say for Mayfield).

I'd drive management to the airport if they were stupid enough to retain salary for more than one season.

I'd be shocked to see him clear.  Lots of injury issues but still a ton of upside and youth.  I'd be stoked if we snagged him for free.

Well not surprised to see that happen.

Grr....damn you Florida. 

I agree, not a fan of lucky "lotto". Should be called the Jackpot line. PP is the Extra

It's a play on Lotto 6/49. Their jersey numbers are 6-40-9 (just in case people actually don't know). Don't think anyone's implying they're getting lucky.

@Brad Marchand It's just when you say lotto, luck is pretty much the next word you'd think of. I understand the whole 6/49 thing, but jackpot is kinda more of a fitting description of how that line actually plays.

Can't stand him.  Not sorry either.

Call me petty all you want but he’s not getting my respect after how Oilers fans treated the Sedins. Not his fault, just how it is. 

Boo Hoo Connor is a victim,just another B.S. excuse by the Oilers.Very similar to them bitching about the Canucks holding after that one game.BOO HOO THEY ARE ALL VICTIMS.

New coach needs every trick to get this team to be better.

Fire takahashi 2019

It's sad because Tanev was actually pretty healthy this year up until now.

@-AJ- He's becoming Salo

Jets don’t re-up Myers because...?  ( they have a fair bit of cap space available)

They don't have that much cap space. Trouba, Laine, Conner and Brossoit all need new deals this offseason among other smaller cap hit guys like Tanev and Petan. Also Wheelers new deal kicks in. So who knows but they have some expensive contracts coming up.

@@NewbieCanuckFan Jets have little cap space when you consider what Retro just said. Also on the right side they have Buff, Trouba, and Meyers. Buff is making 7.6 for 2 more years, Trouba is making same as Meyers at 5.5 and is a RFA and is ahead of Meyers on the right side and younger. They cant afford 3 RD making 7.6, 7, and 6.5. Not to mention reupping Laine (who's going to get 10+) Connor, this year, and Morrisey in a year, etc https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/jets

Gaudette has 5 games

Demko has 1.

They have the early edge. 

Gaudette is the best bet for sure. Juolevi will probably be second on that list followed by Demko at 3rd, largely because I think Demko will backup Markstrom in 2019-20 and won't be a start until late in that season or 2020-21. Dahlen still has to prove himself in the AHL before even making the team, so he's a wildcard.

Montreal doesn't need wingers but Cs.  They are not going to use picks on players they don't need when their priority are top-6 Cs and a PMD to play with Weber.

Gagner! Gagner for a second round pick .

"deal him for picks" trading a player's rights instead of signing him first pretty much cuts his value in half.

I can understand why no Goldie based on what peaches said but I don't get putting out the Sedins. It makes me sad to watch them get hemmed in over and over again. 

giving them a chance at glory for the last few times ?

i'm starting to believe they will be packing it in after this season

i really do not see useful roles for them next season

and i'm a huge sedin fan

but i think it's coming to an end

they again are gonna fall short of hitting 50 points

i really doubt they'd get 40 next season if they did return

ya you'd like to see them go out playing decent, so Im hoping they retire. But you never know. Goldy could be the next Sedin, he has the offensive talent and unfortunately the same defensive deficiencies. Yet he's a faster skater. Im really hoping he has a Sedin spot next year.

@kingofsurrey You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. We'd be the Arizona Coyotes (maybe even worse) without the Sedins. 

Danny is on a five game point streak, with seven points in his last 10 games. Hank just ended a five game streak himself. They are contributing more than many others. It's time for the youngsters (and goalies) to step up; they haven't. 

Virtanen needs to know he's still competing for a spot, should be working on his game all the time, on breaks, off-season etc. Working hard, because he ain't going to be getting many more opportunities, and I've been the biggest Virt fan.

Let the stealth-tank roll...

Don't we want speed? 

Plenty of speed at the top of next years draft. I honestly don't see our team/prospects (as of right now) being competitive enough to make the playoffs. Best to get some more assets and high draft picks while we can.

Sorry lack of coffee that should read he had a solid game.

he had a solid game

he was put in instead of boeser.. good decision

coaching choices were well thought out

sedins got limited ice time,  and played reasonably well, given the oilers' speed

but let's start micromanaging our coaching after 1 game anyway

Boeser didn't get cut he was a healthy scratch because he doesn't deserve anything. He's just like any other rookie he has to work his way to the top. I like watching Brock but he is a bit of a puck hog and makes mistakes because of it. He needs to learn the team is fine playing without him if he feels entitled.

That's not even mentioning the fact coach green wanted Dorsett in the game to shut down McDavid and he did a hell of a job doing it last game.

There's no chance in hell Pettersson plays in Utica. He's a potential Calder winner.

Pettersson, Dahlen and Juolevi should make the team, Gaudette  should too but not over Pettersson, no way!!!

huh?

based on what

1 game against not yet ready nhl prospects ?

where elias had an off game but still got 3 points ?

cdc never ceases to amaze me

how about we wait until tourney is over

training camp has happened

and we see how these prospects do in preseason

this so quick to judge/ assess approach

is mind boggling

you really think this is how team management

and coaches assess talented prospects

damn we do live in such an instant society

Crosby whines less than him

Just frustrated.  Scored the GWG...

It's passion, not whining......

Stech doesn't have  a great shot and Hutton is lucky to sniff PP2.

Edler is by far the best option. He's a good player.

Shh..stay stealthy

Agree with @Western Red.  Doesn't make him an awesome power play quarterback, but he is the best we have for now.

If Jake's offensive game doesn't pick up in the next year, he probably won't be in Van.  There's only so much patience that they'll show with him before they replace him with someone new.

i'm still not sold on goldobin. i hope he puts it all together. i'm still hopeful jake puts it all together too. 

I've thought Goldobin has looked solid the last couple weeks and his skill is amazing. He may need a little sheltering but I think he will be in our long term plan

@smithers joe- haha dont get me wrong. Woo's projection is a top 4 player and I believe he can be that, but he still needs to do it.

Stecher is the only professional RD player we currently have that can be projected to be here in 3 years. Woo, Rafferty and Chatfield all might prove to be NHLer's but nothing is guaranteed.

The Flyers got to the Finals with an entire blueline consisting of six left side D.  Course, one of those six was Chris Pronger (in his prime).  Now, all we gotta do is get/acquire a behemoth like that.

Jet Woo, Brogan Rafferty are going to be here sooner rather than later. 

Sign Schenn, he's a good soldier and his play down the stretch deserves at least another 1 year contract. 

Remember Wideman's suspension?

Vermette got 10 games this year for something weaker

tough titties for ronaldo. the guy made 93 million last year.

More desperate women resorting to the hard-sell? Is this a MGTOW reaction, L2?!

I may be guilty of taking the path of thorns and arrows, NFA.

Lol, Calgary couldn't give Wildeman away at the deadline but ya, let's sign him and move him for a first or second.....  lol. 

Wideman 

haha Calgary must have been asking too much, plus they were somewhat in contention for a playoff spot. Also no one said anything about 1st or 2nd round picks. Im more thinking a 3rd or a throw in with another piece. Also if you look at his stats for last year they're fairly impressive.

new management group.  They might not be as high on the Benning guys.  We could see several Benning guys traded.  Dipietro, Woo, and Bone could all go as sweetener in deals. 

@Alflives I am concerned if new management groups want to clear out old inventory, in an attempt of some sorts to get rid of the remnants of the old regime.

There's nothing wrong with Dipietro, Woo, and Bones. They're all prospects, except maybe Bones, who's as close to show time as anyone else.

I hope he gets a bunch of games and does really well so we can trade him for a better return and fill his spot with a defensive defenseman. 

eberle gross  hard pass that guys a bum and hes under contract on isles are u day drunk

@canuktravella Well, it's 10:00 pm, so he would technically be "night drunk".

Trade Ebs for Vaclav Hamstrung

Absolutely love knowing Benning isn't under pressure to mortgage the future.  I think Aquilini knows that most of the fans want Jimbo to stick around and are happy to see him stockpile more young talent.

This is so refreshing coming from linden sounding like he’d rather pass out than say the word rebuild 

I don't miss Linden even a little bit. Nice to see everyone on the same page and no drama anymore.

I see Madden more as a winger in the future that can fill in as C with injuries. Plus I think Madden has top 6 potential and we aren't moving Bo or Petey.

Is he related to Marco Sturm?

sturm can also play left wing. would look great besides bo.
