Not too keen on Myers or Gardiner, mostly because of committing too much for too long. My first choice is Miller, and I guess Stralman would be ok for a short term fix. I think he'd do well with a fresh start on a team on the rise. Contract isn't too hard to digest.. might be available for a reasonable price. Barrie would be a really nice add, but I also don't think we'd be able get him without giving up Boeser or something major.

Haven't seen a poll anywhere, forgive me if there's one.. Now that the draft is done, Edler is signed, and some of the free agents have moved on.. I feel like we need 2 more upgrades on D. If you had your way, who would you like JB to pick up? And what would you give up to get them? Anyone on the list? Anyone else? Or would you stick with what we have? I included the most talked about options, Ufa's or otherwise. There's plenty of other free agents on the list..

time to get rid of the whole scouting and upper management

I guess it's true then.. the hockey gods really DO hate Vancouver.. #77 is just more vocal about it -

so stoked! assuming he pans out as advertised, he will be a star for us in a few years when we're hopefully contending. off the books in the meantime.. also, since he doesn't help us in the short term, maybe we draft a bit higher because of that? I don't know, but I'm pumped..

I know right? grasping at straws? anything to appear relevant I suppose.. desperation makes for a stinky cologne..

Tell me im wrong. Edler is Worth 5 years @ 7.5 - 8 million per

Yup.. after hearing it from all sides for the better part of a week, now he knows, there's no denying, he's wrong. -

[Rumour] Jesse Puljujarvi requests trade
Glug Datt replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
or trying to put it out with a wings jersey.. -
handful of questions come to mind... 1/ where in the line up are Marleau, Eriksson, Motte, Schaller, Spooner? 2/ is Edler / Miller actually a contending first pair D? 3/ after this latest playoff suspension, is Kadri going to be forced to change his game to the point of lacking confidence and /or effectiveness? 4/ as per question #1, Canucks have an estimated $30 mill cap space this year, plus losing Sutter, Tanev & Gaudette brings it to let's say 40.. Add Marleau 6.25, Kadri 4.5, Miller 3.875, and guessing Boeser 7.5, Edler 6, Lee 6, Kapanen 5, Tryamkin 3.5 plus Tanev & Sutter 50% makes 47+.. doesn't work this year, and even losing Marleau next year won't leave room to resign Marky, not to mention raises for Hughes and Pettersson when that comes up.. I'm likely missing more numbers, but my point is, unless we're moving out big contracts, it won't work..

[Proposal] VAN, CBJ, CAR
Glug Datt replied to FrankieCorrado's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
I like Murray, but I would worry how a somewhat injury prone Dman would survive coming to the Canucks.. I'm not sure any of the teams involved are super psyched about the deal, but it 's a decent proposal. are we assuming Murray is signed for this deal? -

we need something, that's for sure. JB's comments have led me to believe something big is going to happen this summer.. it's exciting -

and don't forget Big Tram.. and I fear you are right regarding EK.. I think he would be great for a couple years, but by the time we are contending, he could be too beat up and therefore not worth the $. it's a bit risky, anyways.. also I wonder if the rumours that JB is 'looking to fix the D' this summer and Van is 'in on everyone' are cost control on Eddy.. the problem JB has right now is there are way too many if's and hopefully's concerning the D, especially at this stage of his contract. He maybe should have been in on some previous UFA's.. hindsight.. I believe we know what to expect from Stetcher, Tanev, Biega & Schenn - and that's not an inspiring core.. Everyone else is a bit of a wildcard. Hughes? OJ? Tryamkin? Woo? 2019 1st? how do they all work out? As it stands, we still need Edler. Does landing any of the current UFA's change that fact? If we land Karlsson, Myers or Gardiner and lose Edler, are we further ahead? not really.. And that course of action likely screws us 3 - 4 years down the road. But JB needs to make some kind of move, and I don't really love ANY of the ufa D choices this year. I'm not going to lie: this combination makes me nervous. -

Question: is paying Edler 8 mill for his half season equivalent to paying someone else 16 mill for a full season? Food for thought.. -
hmmm.. either way, that's what I would have thought.. I wonder if Van has any assets that would interest the Flyers..

this seems like strange timing to me.. yah he had an off year, but with the new coach coming in..? he could be a big piece of a good team. and at $4.5 for the next 4 years, I'd take a chance on him.. the thing is tho, I think Philly is really building something this year, and Shaw & Byron are decent role players. they'll play their part.. I think it's an underpay, must be something wrong with ghost, maybe a locker room thing?

An new article released says that a competition committee was formed consisting of players & gm's, and has recommended among other things, changes to video review & coach's challenge. "The committee recommended expanded video review which would include a referee’s ability to review calls on the ice" It doesn't really give much in the way of details other than to say "The NHLPA’s executive board along with the league’s board of governors still need to approve the new rule recommendations." https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/nhl-competition-committee-recommends-video-review-tiebreaker-changes/

I don't see TO liking this deal, but they might get forced into something along these lines.. every gm knows dubas has painted himself into a corner, and yes, I'm sure there will be lots of teams trying to land Kap, but I bet they all want something for nothing.. the Maple Leaf Dilemma will be a case study in GM training for years to come..
