  1. the best we could likely do this offseason is something like bringing in Lyubushkin and Zadorov, if we can shed Pearson or Dickie and Garland, e.g. imo if we can use OEL properly that will be a nice boost to our d production. Zadorov provides some size and meanness. Hughes-Schenn OEL-Loobie Rathbone-Zadorov Dermott-Poolman with two mid-tier additions it changes the look and depth quite a bit.
  2. interestingly the pick in this deal at 30 turned out to be Lambert.
  3. Yup I'd be very happy swapping Pearsons cap for one.
  4. if we can find a better purely defensive partner for OEL, that can change things a lot. We need to free OEL to use his offensive skills more.
  5. well they can still offer sheet him. Man that would be fun.
  6. I wonder if we can get Kane 50% retained for Dickie and Poolman?
  7. we should just settle this with a septuagenarian cage match. Two GMs enter, one GM leaves.
  8. there's no benefit to the team to let talks like that happen. I'm kind of surprised some people are mad at PA/JR for not letting Lou get what he wanted in the moment (if that actually happened).
  9. if the hissy fit at the draft table was real, yeah maybe?
  10. isn't Taj and his buddies the ones that rented the infamous Benning plane?
  11. If we're going to go 7 then max 60 mil? 8.5 AAV? thats not much over the 50/6. I just can't rationalize 9.5 for 7 tho. Maybe if our d group was properly constructed and locked in for term?
  12. I want to keep them both. Miller-Bo-Petey is the kind of C depth that can take us on a run.
  13. yeah just riding you a bit - I do think this thread would go better if we don't tell each other what the other person is thinking. I do agree with most of them for sure, I think you can find objective evidence for a lot of your list. I'd be fine with what @DeNiro suggested above, the $50 mil over 6 years. AAV not ridiculous and can be managed with some other smart moves in the lineup. I do think if its very heavy on bonus money Miller should consider it, given the risks to him of waiting another year to free agency, a lot can happen in a year to lower that number for him.
  14. thats a bit of a straw man, I don't think I've seen anyone claiming its an "at all cost" scenario. Again, not sure anyone is thinking 5 years? Good list of why we should try to keep him tho.
  15. he's just not that good to even be commanding anything close to that.
  16. probably more like insurance on Silovs or Mikey D not panning out. Looking back on the draft, I might have preferred to pick a goalie next draft with our extra 4th and rolled the dice on a RHD this time, but if Ian Clark liked this kid then thats fine.
  17. we think we have a "problem" with Miller, Calgary is hooped in several ways with these two.
  18. Ohlund for me, man could we use him now. I was lucky and got to go to a Canucks thing a few years back where he was speaking and meeting fans, and he talked about not even being able to put on skates just to be on the ice with is kid. Sometimes these guys give a lot.
  19. I'd take Zack if it was on a league minimum deal but yeah don't really want to trade for him. we'll see, it might be one of the only ways to bring in more speed (e.g, Mikheyev) or small d upgrade (Lyubushkin).
  20. but I don't see an option with the way the team is built. We at least have a chance at being competitive with Miller and our other talented players. Take him out and just replace with picks and prospects and we're stuck in the middle anyway.
  21. yeah I know, thats why I said 'grain of salt' but then again, Marchand starts on LTIR, makes a miraculous recovery for the playoffs and dump Foligno and they could do it.
  22. yep thats my preference. I really don't see the two year setback thing as viable, based on what we've heard so far. Two major deadlines have come and gone with no offers of elite kids. I don't expect that to change. I see running with 4 years of Demko, see if we can pull an "LA" - then kaboom, full blow up 4 years from now.
