But he is a top line winger in your mind 10 points in 17 games average at best

If he is so good why isn't he leading the league he plays in If he is so good why isn't he leading the league he plays in

Well after we win the cup who cares.

There is a rumor there is a good chance BC wont allow the NHL to Play in Vancouver I guess the fairness police are out in full force.so there is talk of no Canadian division because of this. IF this is true I say move the Canucks to Saskatoon or Halifax until this blows over.

Hey no problem thanks for the praise . Allot of posters cant read

Read the fine print you can flip him after the playoffs

Ha no think about it . Pacioretty needs to okay the trade .

You need to read the proposal again we have Pacioretty for this year and flip him for more than we paid if we have too. Hoglander could be a bust.

Two trades first and a signing Trade one : Virtanen and Baertschi to Ottawa for Gaborik (put him on IR) Trade two : Pearson & Hoglander to Vegas for Pacioretty (This gets Vegas under the cap) Signing : J. Rutta Right D for $700,000 This would help our depth at Right D This helps our top 6 and then we can flip him (Pacioretty) for picks and a better prospect next year. We likely wont sign Pearson and we upgrade our prospects Miller Pettersson Boeser Pacioretty Horvat Sutter / Bailey / MacEwen Ferland Gaudette Bailey / Sutter Motte Beagle MacEwen / Sutter Hughes Myers Edler Schmidt Juolevi Rutta Holtby Demko

Fair enough I still want to see Rafferty play yes Rathbone has more hype I agree but when Button says Rafferty is NHL ready I will go with what he says no doubt Rathbone has maybe a higher ceiling but until they lace them up you wont know.

LOL Rathbone is better than Rafferty how do you figure that ? Rafferty may surprise a lot of people. Rathbone plays on the left and Rafferty on the right . Rafferty is 6.2 Rathbone is 5.11 so there is that. Lets see how they play before calling on or the other better.

I beg to differ I think Rafferty may surprise some people some players dont peak until they are 28 to 30 as far as playing with better players the cream always rises to the top

I would sign Jan Rutta, (.8 Mil. )RD, and Cristian Folin (.8 Mil.)RD both 6.3 and can play and can be on the Taxi squad. The complaints about Hamonic is a little slow but offer him 1.5 Mil. There will be a expanded roster so fill it up .

Sorry the Skate Logo is classic you know not what you do.

I think the NHL will allow 26 man rosters instead of the normal 23 , thus giving each team more flexibility with the condensed schedule and allowing a 5 % cap overrun.

Detroit will not offer sheet Tampa do you forget where Steve Yzerman came from ?

I agree Trade to remove salary, To Ottawa Eriksson + Hoglander and a 2021 second round pick for Gaborik . Put Gaborik on IR with Ferland. If Ferland can play move Sutter and retain $1.5 Mil. should be enough to get by, Send Benn and Roussel down.

Van could offer the same or a leaser package for Cernak Lets say Rafferty for Johnson + Cernak.

Ha I like your style but Foote is their top prospect on the right so I dont see them giving him up on the other hand Cernak + Johnson for Rafferty would be doable .

I'm in if it was for Ristolainen instead of Miller but Buffalo says no.

Sign Tryamkin and expose Myers we dont need a 6 million dollar Dman in the 5 to 6 hole . I believe Cernak will be dealt to van

Neither Jasek or Lind have nhl experience so what makes you think that they will be better than AG

I agree Motte moved to the third line Hawryluk or Mac on the right side would be a good line.

Gaudette played well for a second year player . His point totals are moving in the right direction so cut him some slack. I beleave he will be a 40 to 50 point guy this year, put Motte on his wing and Hawryluk / MacEwen . I would say you would see some notable improvement in scoring.
