[[Trade] Hurricanes trade Ethan Bear, Lane Pederson to Canucks for 2023 5th-round pick]

Yeah, they did.

Winnipeg got a great player, a captain at that, but they've never made it past the 3rd round, much less have any sustained post-season success.  Boston were clear winners.

Aight so now we’re just trolling, eh?

They got a productive player, yes.  Nothing beyond that.

The name of the game for 32 teams is to win the Stanley Cup, however.  The team who accomplishes that is the sole winner when it's all said and done.

So Boston won the Wheeler trade?

 

and what about a trade where neither side wins the cup? Who won the Luongo trade? What about when Brian Burke worked some draft floor magic to get both Sedins? Canucks lost those trades as well?

[Horvat ? Do We Really Need Him?]

After googling Danielle Horvat I can confirm I believe we should trade Bo for Danielle, one for one

Good point. Extension would have to be in place for trade to go through

And Jenner is signed to a very team friendly deal for 4 seasons while Horvat is a pending UFA.  The slight upgrade likely isn’t worth the risk to  Columbus 

Outside of Kent Johnson (who is still a prospect), CBJ does not have a surefire top 6 C. This gives them one.

You’ve outlined why Vancouver should do it. But why the hell would Columbus?  Jenner produces almost as much but is signed for 4 years at an affordable cap hit. Horvat is a pending UFA.  

They produce similar 5v5 (Bo a bit more). Bo is far better PP and 3v3 player. Plus 2 years younger. CBJ needs a Bo Horvat player more than Van does

dude you love Gavrikov, you always posting about him

He’s been one of my favourite players for a few years now lol. I want him on the Canucks so bad!

[A deal with an enemy [PROPOSAL]]

Andersson has been up and down in his career. Last year was by far his best season of his career, he still has 4 years left on his contract, and he’s 25. This is probably the most expensive he will ever be to acquire via trade. 
 

not worth the cost imo

[[Proposal] Captain swap with CBJ]

Trade:

 

to CBJ: Bo Horvat, Travis Dermott, A. McDonogh

 

to Van: Boone Jenner, Vladislav Gavrikov

 

jenner’s 3.75 million cap hit fits in much better with Vans cap structure, and he actually scores nearly identical numbers to Bo 5v5 (Bo gets a few more assists). 
 

gavrikov is the real prize here. Top 4 caliber D with size and mobility and good puck skills. Comparable in terms of overall impact and skill to OEL but will come in much cheaper on an extension (probably under $5 million AAV). 
 

canucks give up Dermott and a prospect to help offset the value and positional loss for CBJ

[Canucks first team to perfectly use LTIR]

6 hours ago, mll said:

It's based on the time spent on the NHL roster the previous season.  He didn't play any games but was on the team for 39 days, which for a cap hit of 750K translates to a pro-rated cap for SOIR of 146'250.  

 

CapFriendly has the previous season's time spent on the roster under 'Archives/past cap payrolls':  https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/cap-tracker/canucks/2022

Also worth pointing out that tomorrow they can move di guisuppe to LTIR, freeing up that 146,250 as well, giving them enough space to send down Klimovich and recall Karlsson even while Mikheyev, Myers, and Dermott are all still counting against the cap

[[Report] Canucks fire Rachel Doerrie]

Any word on 'mom's lawsuit'?

Things seem to have quieted down there since the initial (over?)-reaction to Doerrie's dismissal.

Rachel Doerrie is still pretty active on Twitter; at least, she is “liking” stuff and updated her bio and everything. Makes me think no obvious public resolution will be coming soon and instead she is looking to simply move on from it all. 
 

just speculation though

They need to shed salary to fit him. One of the main reasons Ethan bear is available

[[Report] Canucks fire Rachel Doerrie]

3 hours ago, GB5 said:

Yes, this is what was reported when she was hired. Apaprently there were a number of social media posts critical of specific Canuck players that were deleted from her account prior to the annoncement of her hiring.

In specific, Doerrie was allegedly casting doubt that Petey was njured at the end of the 2020-2021 season.

 

Or maybe she suffered the wrath of Quinn for trashing his brother

 

 

I recall in that same “point shot” interview she was also quite critical of JT Miller and his alleged refusal to follow Covid policy. 
 

to be honest, I was surprised she accepted a job with the Canucks given how critical she had been of the org and the players in the past. That said, she had decent experience for some one of her age including working as an analyst for Scotiabank and worked in the NJD organization. I think the belief is she was some one who could grow with the team and advance up the ranks. 
 

obviously, other circumstances came into play

Incorrect. 

What does edmunson bring the gudbranson doesn’t?

[Trade Proposal - Van / Bos]

carlo is a pretty good defensemen but bo horvat is the better player.

 

canucks lose on-ice value. the reason why carlo is worth so much in a trade is he is a right handed defenseman who is on a good contract with lots of term. the reason why bo horvat is worth so much in a trade is because he is a very good centreman. horvat is better just doesnt have a cheap contract to compete with carlo's trade value

 

even is rathbone/studnika end up being a wash, canucks still lose this trade imo

[(Speculation) MTL potentially shopping Gallagher and Edmunson]

edmunson sucks. big but bad. left handed gudbranson

[[Signing] Blues re-sign Jordan Kyrou]

whats familiar about it

[[Signing] Blues re-sign Jordan Kyrou]

Both players (Kyrou and Thomas) are coming off their bridge deals at 2.8 AAV. They are 2 years away from UFA. 
 

If St Louis bridged again they give even more leverage to the players on their next deal similar to Andrew Copp in Winnipeg, mark stone in Ottawa, Trouba in Winnipeg, Mikheyev in Toronto, nurse in Edmonton, or Boeser in Vancouver. 
 

Signing a 2nd bridge deals puts the team in a position where they may have to trade a player, lose them for nothing, or overpay by even more in order to retain them. 
 

That being said, this a huge risk but the blues kicking these players in for that long. They should have waited till next summer imo

[[Signing] Blues re-sign Jordan Kyrou]

Imo massive risk by St. Louis signing both Thomas and kyrou after career years where each of them shot over 14% 5v5 and had over 12.5% on-ice shooting percentage 5v5. Both players are due for regression based on statistical averages. 
 

8x8 for each of them is steep as they could be 65 point players masquerading as point per game players

[Mortgage - Fixed or Variable?]

8 hours ago, JM_ said:

I wonder how much of the country would tho? 

A lot unfortunately. Especially over the last 2 years when everyone was trying to get into the housing market. 
 

worth remembering that the qualifying rate was 4.79% in 2020/2021 (meaning in order to borrow money you have to be able to afford your mortgage at 4.79 even if you’re only paying 2% or whatever). The point of this mechanism is to build in protection against defaulters if rates rise…

 

now people are going to be renewing into 5.5% which could be higher than their TDSR suggests they can afford. 
 

tough situation

[Mortgage - Fixed or Variable?]

tough to say to be honest. we likely see another 0.25% bump maybe as soon as october. that being said, a few weeks ago there was some optimisim we would see interest rates hit an inflection point early 2023 (maybe Q2) and start to come down again. now, things are less certain with not only the 75bps bump this past week but also the BoC stating in their press release for the rate increase that they will probably increase again. that said, yield curves remain relatively flat and long term fixed rates already priced in increase to 3.5% overnight rate.

 

with Variable rates being around 5% depending on your lender, fixed rates (5 year specifically) probably only around 0.25% more.

 

if rates do go down next year, a variable will be  huge win. if they don't, could cause some problems in the long run.

 

IMO if you have the cashflow to increase your payments mid term, i would go variable as it has higher upside. however, if youre very conservative or if you are already at your maximum you feel you can afford, locking in is the better way to go and just take your lumps if rates do fall.
