[[Report/Rumour] Elias Pettersson Contract Talks]

1 hour ago, VegasCanuck said:

If we look at overall effectiveness and point creation Pettersson is a better overall player than Matthews and may very well have a higher ceiling.

 

But, don't tell him that, we don't really want him to have a 12 million per season contract lol

I have an odd feeling Petey signs just under 10 aav. Maybe that's homer thinking but at this point it's looking like anything under 11 would be a win.

[[Signing] Ducks sign Radko Gudas]

Doubt he gets this on a contender, way too much but good insulation for the ducks tiny guys and Anaheim shouldn't have any cap problems during the 3 years

[[Signing] - Korpisalo to Sens - 4 x 5 million]

I thought Ottawa wanted a good goalie

We've been crying for a top flight RHD for years, and CDC is already upset at the pick.

 

Unreal. If you didn't know his name, or that he played in Sweden, the way he talks there's almost no accent. Well spoken, seems pretty smart. Even wants to get a jump on his career by playing in the NCAA. What's not to like????

 

Damn you Post Benning Stress Disorder.

We all have the occasional PBSD episode

If we picked Benson we'd just be complaining about drafting another undersized forward instead of a bigger RHD.

He's not wrong

[[Signing] Canucks sign Micheal Ferland]

Canucks may have found their bumper player in the 1-3-1 set up in Ferland.  That is huge.  Will keep defenders honest on the powerplay and will indirectly give Pettersson and Boeser more room on the half wall. 

 

Very shrewd pick up by Jim.

That's hockey baby!

Just think......we have a Fanny and a Boner ( Jack Rathbone ) in the system. Beat that.

"Boner slides it to Fanny, back to Boner, an explosive ripper from the top of the crease and Boner puts it home."

 

[[Signing] Canucks sign Zane McIntyre]

Just let Ian Clark do what he does. He'll be alright.

[Defense ranked]

Offensive:

1. Huges

2. Edler

3. Myers

4. Stecher 

5. Benn

6. Tanev

 

Defensive

1. Tanev

2. Edler

3. Benn

4. Myers

5. Hughes

6. Stecher

 

I think Quin on the defensive side will be the biggest wildcard. A part of me thinks/Hope's I've ranked him too low.

[Olli Juolevi | #48 | D]

This board cries regularly about needing defensemen-who tend to adapt to the NHL and hit their prime later in their career. The same people are ready to crucify OJ for being a "failure" at 21. It's rare to for dmen to play meaningful minutes in the NHL at the age of 20 or 21. Young forwards putting up points in sheltered roles has become increasingly the way the league is trending. Defense as a position is much more nuanced, and we should be happy that OJ has gone through the steps to learn a lot of the little details he would have been lambasted for had he stepped into the league as a 19 or 20 yo. As this team develops into a contender over the next 2-4 years, I think were going to see a lot of growth in Olli and he will become a steady, all-around defenseman for us for years to come. However, we won't get to know if we drive him out of town before he gets here.

[[Signing] Islanders sign Semyon Varlamov]

It's still beyond me why the islanders wouldn't re-sign Lehner for 5 mill, but will give it to this clown for 4 years

It's a great day to be a tyler

[[Signing] Jordie Benn signs with Canucks]

Good depth and hopefully a good locker room guy. Like that were adding some size and hopefully a little pushback. We're going to be a fun team to watch next year.
