[Proposal to NHLPA RE: Rookie Season]

1 hour ago, IBatch said:

The NHLPA would never agree to this.  Before the WHA forced their hands by poaching at the time underagers and playing them young, 20 was the age they could start in the NHL - it’s also a big part of the reason guys came in and did so well like Potvin - they were men not boys.   Linesman also challenged the NHL in court and won, he was good enough to play at 18, at its what ultimately changed the rules on when they could start.   I agree that the league is using younger players to balance the books - but it’s not often we see an 18 year old on the team, usually they are at or near the top of the draft.  Hughes and EP both got another year, Horvat only won a spot because he could win faceoffs AND because our team sucked at the time.   Another year would have probably helped him but he managed - and worked hard on his skating which was definitely not up to par.  JV well yes that was a mistake which was corrected.  

 

It’s the way things are under the cap.  Don’t see it changing anytime soon.

 

edit:  What the league should do is get the AHL to change their agreement with the CHL and lower it a year.  One extra year in juniors never hurt anyone, and the NCAA is an option as is playing in an elite men’s league like Mathews did...

I'm gonna disagree and say NHLPA would be for it as they are there to help their base, and a players making $60000+ plus in salary vs what in CHL.

 

To get the CHL to change their agreement is money, and that's NHL vs CHL, 

 

A NHL team wants full control over their draft picks it's what European soccer clubs have, they decide if the players is called up on first squad, second or loanded out.  Since they "own" the player.  I would want my draft picks to play where beat development, if I think that's CHL, SHL, or CHL should be managements job

[Last year was no fluke - Markstrom is elite]

Well at this rate Seattle is going to get markstrom or demko

Just stack PP1, I mean the other team is gonna stack PK1 stay out for 90secs boom or do like Rec league and have only a PP1 and the rest of us on the bench yelling for the guys to get off so we can get some PP time !

[Petterson has not scored an even strength goal since February 5th, our roster make-up isn't helping]

That's a big ask with Newell Brown 

Well if we.had Duchene on our team he would let us know ! That being said I'm gonna agree with a lot of people and am not a fan of brown PP stupid slowdown back drip pass, but also BB6 needs a real one timer, not accept pass slow it down allow D to block shot

Gaudette reminds me a bit of Kesler, just his intensity and in a couple years with a center core of 

Horvat

Petey

Gaudette

 

That's pretty solid

Cap dump trade? 

Jake, Goldy, LE for a 7th rounder zero retained? Would Ottawa bite?!?

[[Official] 2019 Training Camp Thread]

I like the under $6mil for BB6 and then on TV Ian is trying to spin it as bad,  as I texted my dad this evening paying for a goal scorer is fine it's over paying for a energy guy third line guy

[[Report] Ben Hutton to become UFA]

If Luke Schenn can get signed Hutton should be signed I say he needs a new agent

[Vasily Podkolzin | #92 | RW]

If he is practing with those too players that's good, it's like the European socce model call up young guy sits in bench practices all the time with the top players.

 

On XM radio I'm pretty sure this summer they interviewed a Canadian playing in KHL and one of th adjustments was two practices a day lol good ole ruskies

[The misconception on the Luongo recapture penalty and LTIR.]

If LTIR is paid out by insurance at 80% according to articles on Ottawa Senator are actually paying out of Pocket, then i can see being placed on LTIR as offically injured because insurance companies dont like to pay out to pay out 

[Next CBA and Net Salary Cap not Gross]

having the CBA be a Net Salary cap [ Or Take home pay] and not Gross Salary to balance out no tax states.

 

My Cousin husband who was working in Europe, when asking about pay he told me his take home is $$$ and the company worries about the tax calculation.  I know teams like Montreal, Toronto and NYR would be all for this as they could afford.

 

 

[Jett Woo | D]

Is he at WJHC trying out? Just saw a tsn video talking about the d didn't mention Woo

[Introducing the 2019-2020 Canucks Power Play (Discussion)]

Listening to NHL radio on satellite, they were talking how the power play has been shifting to a 5 forward PP, with Hughes that's almost like 5 forwards, and I would put a secind D on our power play if they have a Sami Salo shot outside of that you are gonna pass it around until a shot is open

[[Rumor] Boeser Camp Eyeing 4 Year Deal Worth $28M]

Am I the only one who thinks Boeser doesnt envision himself here long term? Why would he? He spends his entire off-season / breaks in Minny and just rents a downtown Vancouver Condo during the season. Doesn't sound like a guy who is thinking of long term with the Canucks. I feel he wants to make sure he'll get max value and get a chance to go play for his hometown team of Minnesota

To be fair he hasn't actually made that much money and with his next contract he'll know his income and what he can buy in Vancouver a condo or house 

[Does the RFA $ Grab Imply Coming Economic-Mayhem?]

To be fair this is all agents, the players.dint negotiate except tell agent I don't wanna play in this city Anymore

 

Look at Timo contract with that 4th year 10million salary.that isn't the.players that's all a smart agent.

 

And if I was a agent talking to the.team saying hey you don't wanna pay.my.guy a bad 28-35yr old over paid contract pay the young guy what he is worth
