Its not very good for the Canucks. Now in 2 years , he will be getting a Bouvilleir contract.
Should have given him 4 years 1.8 million
He already proved himself an NHL player in the NHL and in the AHL. Before he was sent down , he was in the top 10 points wise for his draft class
Imo c chance Hoglander signs a 4 year deal at 1.8

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

Not questioning Quadrelli but curious why paying the bonus early (but after the end of the previous cap year) would be circumventing the cap. Whether the bonus is paid early or on the due date has the same effect on cap calculations, does it not (whether or not the player is traded)?
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

Apparently it can be paid early. I just read it from another article at Canucks Daily (sorry can’t post the source, it’s off Facebook):
The ongoing belief was that the Canucks were waiting on the bonus to be paid up before they moved the defenseman (the due date was supposedly September 15th). However, recent information revealed that the Canucks could choose to pay that bonus before its due date.
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

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

Believe they had interest in Boeser at the TDL so that could be a good option

So they are donating him to us and taking a bad contract?
Done.
No they would get a good player back in return

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.

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

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

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

This does seem to more and more look like it was a personality clash with Castonguay. If she praises JR, and Granato, and presumably the medical resources offered, or at least that is not the department that fired her, then what is left? She didn't get along with someone with more authority than her.
This is not an unusual thing that happens in a business. Sometimes unfairly. But if your boss has lost their faith in you for whatever reason, call it mental strength to handle the responsibility, that is their prerogative to let you go.
I was already leary of this hire after I heard how she used Twitter in the past.
“Either way you slice it, Steve Yzerman and Joe Sakic are playing 5-D chess, and Jim Benning is gluing macaroni pieces to construction paper.”
Not that I disagreed with that tweet, in fact it endeared me to her. Not many in the career orientated hockey world would have gone there. But to be an NHL executive, you just can't burn bridges like that. In that regard it was a dumb tweet to make. That was from 2021.,...right before her hire. JR should not have hired her, that was a mistake. But any private business has to have the ability to right the ship and fix their mistake.
I guess the truth will come out, but its hard to think that the Canucks organization would be that neanderthal in so lacking in mental health services, especially when Bieksa, who came out of this organization, has helped start MindCheck, inspired by the tragedy of Rypien's death. And her muddying the water with references to LBTQ+ and race is very sketchy, as well her going on a media tour about it.
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.

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

Montreal gave up a 1st and a 2nd for Dvorak in 2021, I'd be surprised if they moved him. If they move a center I reckon it'll be them trying to sell Monahan if it looks like they're sliding out of the mix. Or maybe they try to keep him, it's hard to say.
Montreal does have a bit of a black hole on the wing though, but with Dadonov expiring after this season I think it's more likely they just eat another losing season and take another high pick. Montreal also needs goals on the wing, not assists. Boeser's only just recently started scoring again. 3 goals in 15 games still isn't great if you're trying to sell him as a goal scorer.
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

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

He is in my opinion the only true Center on the team, (playing him on the wing would be weird). Petey is also on his way to become one. He is one of the best faceoff guys in the NHL, captain of the team, only member left from the Sedin Era, team first guy, and on pace for back to back thirty goal seasons. I think we would definitely be worse without him.
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

Trading garland and hogs for two meh players seems like a major loss of value. Also think you’re overrating Roy a bit here

Canucks need to send about twice as much value.

Why would I be trolling?
Isn't the name of the game to win Stanley Cups? Winnipeg may have gotten the most productive player in the deal, but they haven't won a cup with Wheeler on their team. In that very season this trade happened, Boston did win the cup. Again, not saying trading Wheeler led directly to a cup for Boston, but the move did bring in Peverley and he was fairly good for them, as was Mark Stuart. The trade became a win in the grand scheme of things.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

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.
