Interesting.

WPG needs to sign both Laine and Connor.

Both will be seeking $$$.

$15mil cap space.

I've been saying it for a long time... Laine's as good as gone.

yes he is on the jets roster, 

That's really weird but that be awesome if it was just a straight up deal. 

It's all fixed except for Frolik who it says is still a Canuck.

@Solinar his dad is Jim who is ceo of boston pizza who just happens to live in Vancouver. So maybe there is some family pressure 

More + adding er is a grammar-sin!

MOST + est is the most worstest thing one can DO to the English Lingo! :^O

I don't get it...

That’s not bad.   I still think the best approach for the Canucks to take is to focus one game at a time.   Play each game hard and improve every game whether their efforts manifest into a playoff birth or as a stepping stone for next season.    

almost jinxed it

To Dazzle’s point though, If Calgary continues to struggle and Edmonton joins the “struggle” train, then all of sudden, any talk about “Canucks” and “playoff aspirations” doesn’t become so absurd.   It’s around 21% right now but that number could easily change.

@Roberts yes its legit!, if kesler is an enough of an issue if you have a seam ripper you can always strip the numbers off  

I've heard it's really hard to strip the numbers off of those particular jerseys unfortunately. It's so hard to decide, do you think it's worth waiting for a better player?

Thanks for the help anyhow, very much appreciated! I hope this doesn't come across picky! It's just a lot of money so I want to make sure I make the right call.

haha i totally get it personally for me i'd pick it up and if another player comes up i'd sell the kesler and pick up the new player

@-AJ- I mean if we trade out benn and buyout Bear, You back at square one basically well having improved ur defense 

@CanucksCountry Those two buyouts only save us about $2.8M and actually results in us losing about $1.3M in cap space next year (2021-22). We'd need far more cap space than that and 2021-22 is also arguably an even larger problem than this year given the expiring contracts of Pettersson, Demko, and Hughes.

EDIT: I misread and thought you meant buyout both. The Baer buyout would save us $1.7M this year and cost us 800k in 2021-22. Trading Benn sounds great, but I'm not sure it's as easy as some people think. How many teams are willing to acquire a $2M 7th defenseman? I think we'd have to pay a premium to get rid of Benn. Are we willing to lose draft picks/prospects to trade Benn?

Even so, with Benn gone and Baertschi bought out, you save $3.7M, which still only probably gets us back to keeping two of the three, and that's assuming you're able to trade Benn.

@-AJ- i thought buying out bear saved us more for some reason but you have around 12 million coming off the books next year i think you'd be able to move 5 millon to make room for those 3 i dont see us need more then 17 mill for those 3 

Funny, my sister's cat learned how to open doors to get to his food/treat stash. They made sure they got rounded doorknobs in their new place.

Gracie, my sister-in-law's golden retriever, who passed two years ago. Got to the point where she if she stood on her hind legs. She could work the latch on the door handle and let herself out. 

It was funny visiting them and seeing Gracie outside looking back into the house. And I'm like.

"Did you know Gracie is outside right now?" 

My brother and sister in law would go what???? Lol. 

We'll always remember him. And if we somehow do forget him, his cap hit will remind us.

Isn't it funny that BOS now has the crowd go "Wooo!" after each goal (like VAN fans), and they even cheer Tuuuuuk, like we used to do to Lu. Copy cats. Lu was a great goalie while he was here, but he left the Canucks high and dry, after not getting the start at the Heritage Classic. Getting paid millions he complained that his contract sucked. Kind of a baby isn't he? 

^ No..

I blame Torts and Gillis for running him high and dry.. and then trading him for essentially peanuts.. 

Oh well he played some of his best hockey in this city. 

Very proud of how they did this season and excited for the future.

It's been a emotionally rough year in the world as a whole but the Canucks gave us something to feel good about.

im sure Podz will get a look in top six like hoggy, but if we trade for sam having him 3c wouldnt be terrible or in top 6, gives us different options.

@TNucks1 it would definitely give us options. I would like to see the pick, if traded, fill a bigger void like defense. I feel like 3/4th line guys you can fill with free agency.

I’d be on board with getting Reinhart for 9OA just as long as Buffalo takes on one of our bigger contracts (I.e. Roussel, Beagle, or Eriksson).  Maybe Juolevi can go the other way as well.

What's wrong with this picture? 

 funny you mention that, i just recently found a scam site using a photo of a hockey card project i created and uploaded to CDC a few years back.

thread:

Can hardly wait!

wait you need a ticket?

EDIT: do you know if there going to post it online afterwards if im busy?

Where there's a will, there's a way(or desperately hungry heir)

... take one for the team @CanucksCountry

My favourite players are Eriksson and Sutter.....

oh wow the sky is falling, we lost Tanev and Marky,  both of them said they wanted to stay with this team, well sometimes we all don't get what we want. something better is going to come along. think on the bright side!!!

This is when the team relies on young players, already in the system, to keep improving to keep the team competitive.

I imagine Barrie is going to be signed. Doesn't exactly help us in our own end, but it will give us one of the most offensively gifted Ds in the league. If we can make a deal for Savard as well, that would help us clean things up in our own end. 

Hughes- Savard

Edler- Barrie

Rathbone/Juolevi- Myers

I'd be comfortable with that. 

could our luck be any $&!#tier lol, worst timing ever.

you ok bringing in av's system which is similar to greens?

Av loved playing useless trash like Ebbett instead of giving the kids a shot.  Not a great fit here.
