  1. This guy lives for engagement without giving anything real to engage with. Here’s an article he wrote earlier this summer. Barely a couple hundred words about how Hoglander being waived exempt means he might start in the AHL. only problem is… Hoglander isn’t waiver exempt! He will need waivers to go to the AHL, but Sekeres suggests he needs to play 2 more NHL games before being waiver eligible. The entire premise of the article is wrong! Yet it is still up with no correction or edit added how this passes as journalism is beyond me. https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/waiver-eligibility-nils-hoglander-canucks
  2. Van will be cap compliant with hog signed in one of 2 scenerios: 1) Pearson is still injured when the season starts and is placed on LTIR. Canucks will capture the space for his contract. 2) Pearson is healthy when the season starts and the Canucks waive him and send him the AHL like they did with Hamonic 2 years ago. They will open enough space to keep hoggy on the main roster. I highly, highly doubt Pearson will be in the starting lineup on opening night regardless of his health, purely due to how much time he has missed and how difficult training has been and still is for him until his hand is healed
  3. It’s time for hockey fans to stop pretending Rachel Doerrie is some kind of insiders. She speculates wildly and is constantly proven wrong. I give more credence to Eklund.
  4. Probably the fact the contract becomes easier to dump. there is no business or hockey reason to pay the bonus early other than to make the player more tradeable. League would identify this as a cap saving move and penalize as such. also Canucks aren’t allowed to do things
  5. That article sources it’s info from the Rachel Doerrie quote originally mentioned in this thread I think it is very fair to be skeptical of her info
  6. Meant 2nd fastest. Oops! Petterson just did it in 305 and is 2nd
  7. Happy Game Day! Both miller and petey will find themselves landing additional spots in the Canucks all time record books if they can get 5 points (or more) each before the end of the season. for Miller, it will bring him to 300 points as a Canuck, making him the 2nd fastest canuck to do so in 283 games (or less). for Pettersson, he will join JTM and Pavel Bure as the only other players in franchise history to average a point per game or better in the Canuck careers. Pettersson will also tie Daniel Sedin and Markus naslund for the 5th highest scoring season in franchise history. let’s see if they can do it! edit: had the Miller stat wrong. It’s been corrected now
  8. Believe they had interest in Boeser at the TDL so that could be a good option
  9. Basically, KK fits our age group very well, younger than Hughes. 7 more years on his deal so no worries about re-signing or anything. Cap hit is high but will age well as cap increase. 4+ million 3Cs will be common place in 3 years. very good defensively, active stick good board play and has really filled out last couple years (6’ 200 lbs) 40 point pace this year. Probably reliable 40 point player going forward if you can send one of Boeser or garland back to even out the cap hit, this should be a no brainer target for vancouver.
  10. 1 like = 1 belief bring him home boys
  11. The absolute disrespect Lucas Forsell is getting in this thread is shameful
  12. Another great game from podz. Confident carrying the puck, a few drives to the net, winning battles down low and controlling the cycle. Knows when to push and when to regroup. loving his game down in Abby lately
  13. On pace for 75 points right now but he’s shooting 24%. If he shoots 12% for the rest of the season, he’ll score another 12 or 13 goals (based on his current shots per game). that’ll put him in the 60-70 point range with around 25ish goals. reasonable comps would include: hyman E Kane R strome burakosky mason marchment ondrej palat pavel buchnevich mangiapane so 3-7 years and 5-6 million imo, based on small sample, third line ice time, and not being trusted for Dzone assignments, kuzmenko will only have his offensive output to rely on for negotiations (unlike Hyman, marchment, mangiapne, or palat) so a 5x5 would be pretty reasonable and inline with his offensive play
  14. After listening to the Donnie and dhali interview, I’m confused what ground she has to stand. Basically went out of her way to mention how great and supportive every single member of management and analytics were of her. She also said they were respectful of her medical needs but then said they did not provide medical support but then said they did provide medical support at Whistler. Contradicting herself multiple times. Imo Canucks look real bad here for hiring a hockey media member who is very active of social media and then firing her over a very modest infraction of the clubs media policy (like what did you expect) but imo this seems like a much bigger case of poor judgement rather than discrimination. Rachel personally releasing a link to the document and then doing a media tour looks bad too, imo. Makes it seem like she cares more about the attention than the discrimination. I know she says she is doing it to highlight toxic behaviour in hockey but this is one of the weakest cases of toxic behaviour in hockey lol. bruins signing Mitchell miller, tony De Angelo drama in New York, Virtanen sex assault scandal, literally anything to do with hockey Canada, Kyle beach, akin aliu, the racism Dakota Joshua’s brother has experienced in college hockey, etc. these are all examples of toxic culture or discrimination. Being told your not cut out for a job by your boss even though other people said your good at it is not discrimination. Crappy? Yeah. Poor management? Yeah. Discrimination? No way
  15. Yeah she had made a few public comments prior to her hire that were a bit sus. The one you point about yzerman and Sakic, as well as when she went on the Point Shot podcast and claimed JT miller was an anti masker and Covid denier, and when she was very critical of Luke Hughes’ character and personality before he was drafted. 25 years old and she was a media member, analyst, and apparently NHL insider. A lot of the time I felt like she wanted the spotlight.
  16. Read the whole complaint. Really not seeing any evidence at all of gender discrimination. The only evidence provided is that Mike yeo spoke to the media and didn’t get reprimanded or fired, but the complaint doesn’t include whether yeo had done so without going through proper media relation channels or not. for the physical disability discrimination, it’s pretty flimsy as well. Don’t really see how Castonguay acting rude or jealous or “cold” impacts Doerrie’s leaky heart valve? the mental disability seems most legit. PTSD is real and anxiety and depression can be difficult to deal with. If the quotes provided that castonguay allegedly said are real, that crosses the line imo. However, it doesn’t mean she was fired because of it, just that castonguay was very rude (again, if Doerrie’s claims are true). Makes sense to bring it to HR. the reason for firing is flimsy too, imo. I fail to see how the interaction with PJ could constitute breaking the Canucks media policy unless it’s the strictest policy in the league. I know the official reason is “fired without cause” (which is perfectly legal in BC and would have resulted in a severance being paid to Rachel) but in the complaint Doerrie alleges Allvin told her they could have fired her due to the social media post. If that’s the case, super weak imo. overall, not a good luck for the Canucks but I have a very hard time seeing how this termination is due to discrimination on the basis of gender or disability. Honestly I think castonguay simply felt Rachel was a bad fit and therefore she was fired. Again, bad look for sure but not discrimination
  17. Different management group who did that. Since then, Hughes has added Dach and Monahan, both of whole get more ice time under St Louis. I think Dvorak is on the way out
  18. Trade: to MTL: Boeser to Vancouver: Dvorak 2024 2nd round pick (COL) canucks save 2.2 million in cap, get a 3C that’s fits their core age, replenish the 2nd round pick they lost in the Dickinson trade, reduce the number of redundant wingers. for mtl, they get the better player
  19. Boeser is kinda left over from the Sedin era. They overlapped one year. Believe Demko also played 1 game with the Sedins if I’m not mistaken. and breezebah has been around for like 2 decades so I’m sure they overlapped somewhere
  20. Trading garland and hogs for two meh players seems like a major loss of value. Also think you’re overrating Roy a bit here
  21. Canucks need to send about twice as much value.
  22. You think trading away Blake wheeler in return for Rich Peverly was the key move to win the cup? Boston literally got the worse player who was older and out of the league quicker to play on their 3rd line. That trade had 0 impact on th winning the cup but imocted their ability to compete in the middle of the decade and they lost considerable value on Blake wheeler. saying it’s a good trade because Boston won a cup despite the trade is trolling. No one could actually believe that
