The league needs a salary cap in a bad way. It will never happen though as the poorest teams seem to be able to survive somewhat financially. Money can't buy everything but it can sure easily fill holes on a baseball team.
The Jay's have close to the wealthiest owners in MLB. They are also close to the cheapest. Bo and Vlad hopefully will convince them to spend in the coming years.

Brock sure says all the right things. Imagine a lineup this year where Elias and Quinn make it as well.

so now after saying Hughes would make a decision this week, now there is no timeline. either sign or don't sign. other teams and players have not had any problem making a decision! why does it always take Canucks org longer?
What's the hurry? Seriously, it changes nothing if he signs a week ago or 3 week or more from now.

Was just in penticton....yeah that sucked.
35 and no humidity is not nearly as bad at 28 and 90% humidity.

He's a 5'10 175 lb 18-year-old defenseman. I don't mean that to be demeaning, he has an amazing skillset and special potential. But maybe we need to hold the horses a little bit here.
I don't think its set in stone he turns pro. And if he isn't ready to be an NHLer, why is the AHL automatically better for his development than Michigan? I see the idea floated of "let him come in and develop at this level", but when has the NHL been a developmental league? The answer to that is, 'then he can go to Utica' but it doesn't sound to me like he wants to sign a pro contract right now to go play in Utica.
He might be ready right now to step in and contribute to this team. But its alot to ask from an 18 year old that was just drafted to step in right away, nevermind a defenseman & one that's on the smaller side. I agree he is already our best skating defenseman, he can handle the puck well and can probably make plays in the NHL too. But if he is going to come in and be sheltered & babied along, in an attempt to develop him here, then why? And if not here, if he's willing, is the AHL better? In Michigan he will get more time to work on his skills and his strength. From the reports he started slow last year and then became more dominant as the year went along, whats wrong with him going back and dominating a full year, proving himself as the leader of Michigan, getting stronger, working on his shot, leading USA in the WJ, exc.
Ultimately, we need him to be a special player. I know things have been bleak the last handful of years, and I definitely leave the possibility open that he is infact ready to be an NHLer. But lets not rush him if he's not ready just because we are excited to see him.
You have to ask, who is he better than that are currently have on the roster. He could beat out Stecher likely. Pouliot maybe. Hutton, maybe. The three ahead are Guddy, Edler and Tanev, the rest could be easily replaced by an 18 year old dynamo dman.

Man this kid is really special. I'm actually very glad Detroit picked Zadina. At first I was disappointed but the more I watch of this kid the more I like him. I was really hoping for Boqvist or Zadina but I think Hughes could be better than both. He's by far the most skilled defensive prospect I've ever seen in Vancouver
I am a huge Boqvist fan, but Vancouver picked the better Dman. I couldn't believe he was available.

I believe Stecher becomes trade bait or catch and release.

Even though ROR will be their top line centre by default, he's still only a 2nd line talent. The biggest thing that the Sabres will miss with him is his faceoff prowess. He's one of the best FO players in hockey.
I liked ROR but that 1st and 2nd plus is great. I always liked Buffalo.

You think the Blues were fleeced? I don't.
ROR for that haul? Yes, I call fleeced. Only history will tell.

Nah. The Blues badly needed a very good Centre and to dump salary and the Sabres badly needed depth players. It was a good trade for both teams.
Haha, fleeced. But I see what you are doing there.

The Leafs like to choke against the Sabres especially in Buffalo. Same with the Bruins.
I seriously doubt the Sabres make the playoffs this coming season, but now the 2019-20 season there's a chance.
Good trade for your team. Fleeced.

I was bored so I watched all his goals from last year. Aside from the 'he's gonna go for a skate' goal all of them were on his stick for less than 2s, and most were quick snipes. Him and EP40 are going to go together like bacon and cheddar.... Or peanut butter and chocolate, your choice.
Nutella and Bacon?
OMG Heat Wave?
