Kootenay Gold

I would switch Sasson and Aman and Karlsson and Klimovich. Also not sure if Rau or Keeper are still part of the team, I thought they left for greener pastures.

I am hoping for that as well but the proof will be in the pudding.

The only reason I put him at a lower contract is in part due to so many others in my list are vastly overpaid which has inflated the true value of many of the more prolific players in the league. Much like Horvat's agent thinking he was worth more that what was realistic; I don't see this management group willing to pay more than what they determine the players true worth.

Depending on how he does this year and also when he chooses to sign; I can see a raise to 9.5 to 10 mil/ yr over a 4 to 5 yr term. He is not a 12.5 mil player at this point in his career IMO. He may play his way into that in years to come. In comparing 24-27 yr old top end center's in the league (excluding McDiver) taking in to consideration their ability to put up the numbers, there are a few of note, Brayden Point, Nick Suzuki, Jack Eichel, Matt Barzal, Roope Hinz, Pierre Luc Dubois, Robert Thomas, Sebastian Aho, Dylan Larkin and Tage Thompson, Lots of variation in both production and renumeration in this group.

The point is that he does not want to actually debate the point but instead just make a childish comment indicative of his age.

As for the starting lineup: Not sure how they will be positioned but expect to see these forwards in the lineup: Karlsson. Nielsen, Bains, Raty, Stevens, McDonough, Klimovich, Bloom, Sasson, Bloom, Loewen, Rau and Wouters On defense I am expecting to see: Johansson, McWard, Leipert, Schmiemann and other possibles Woo , Brisbois and Juulsen. This is going to be a younger team than last year with more prospects playing. That said it has the makings of a very competitive team IMO. Especially with Silovs manning the net most nights

Pretty sure all 4 signings will be playing in the ECHL at the start of the season. Fulfills a commitment to Kalamazoo to help stock their roster.

And his daughter is a Canadian citizen by birth.

He would have to take a cheaper deal than what he was making to have any chance of rejoining the Canucks. Probably a max of 1.1 mil/ yr.

Kevin Bieksa would be my choice if he was interested in the job

You forgot to include the 3 to 500 GM's here on CDC

LOL. They just keep on hiring or signing Canucks hand me downs. Who's next!

Too many forwards on the roster with Pearson and Mikheyev coming off LTIR. If nothing other than that changes two players will either be moved or Aman and Podz could wind up in Abby. Not a fan of that scenario. By moving both Beauviller and Garland it frees up a lot of options for trades to be made. This situation does not address what becomes of Hoglander either.

Because of cap considerations, I think this is likely to happen. With both Pearson and Mikheyev coming out of Ltir they will need to free up cap space to fit them in. Moving out those two frees up 9.1 mill in cap space and adding Pearson and Mikheyev subtracts 8 mil. If Hogs joins the team then one of Aman or Pods might be waived to Abby. trades to be had over the summer could fix a lot of the current cap issues IMO; and are likely to happen

Could be.

Are you subscribed to Twitter? I suspect it is either having to be subscribed or perhaps blocked by the ad blocker installed on my computer.

vancanuks.**/ loads the text . @ToyotaC and # nucks will not load. Thought you might like to know. Glad to see it works on one of them.

Looks like we have to sign in to twitter to see a lot of posts now. Not about to do that. Not a fan of that garbage site. Video's play. Text and photo's throw an error.

I will have my computer guru son try that later on tonight.

The original post by-Vintage Canuck of the 40 man roster does not load but throws an error even now. Might be an issue on my end with the ad blocker I have on here. Currently on this URL over 228 ads have been blocked. Really nice to have in both FB and YouTube but can be an issue with sights like TSN.

Most video's will now play but photos still throw an error. Appears that adjustments were made after my original post as video's that were part of the car dealership sponsor would not load.

With the possibility of both Mikheyev and Pearson returning from LTIR the Canucks would need to free up 9 mil in space to fit them in. Sending Pod's and Aman to the minors will not do it. I am thinking they will try to move both Garland and Beauviller as that would free up 9.1 mil in cap space without moving Aman and Pods to Abby. IMO both Pearson (if fully recovered) and Mikheyev are as good or better than Garland and Beauviller and are both bigger bodies too.

Concerning Myers; there is a possibility that they have talked at length with his agent and Tyler on Tyler's wishes going forward and if he would consider playing out this season and signing a new contract next of season at a reduced amount or if he wants to test the free market.

I feel I should edit this post as the video's usually play but the photo posts generally come up as "Something went wrong, try reloading" but that does not work.

For those of us that do not have a twitter account, we can not view anything posted from that platform. It sucks but I will not be getting a twitter account.
