  1. Would be great if consistent, but alas it is Jake and that is too much to ask for. Still a 6th overall pick taking 5 years to hit close to 20 goals... Damn... At least we didn't draft Dal Colle that year, that is a positive I guess
  2. It was more a reference to the contracts I don't like more than the players who have them. Beagle when healthy is very effective 4th/PK guy, just way too expensive, same goes for Rous. Jake I think it's time to move on, regardless of the accusations he is facing, he has never lived up to potential. 2021-2022 will be an interesting season, probably fighting for the 4th and last playoff spot in the Pacific. Where my focus is at is next off season. 30 million off the books minus the raises Petey and Huggy get, will be interesting.
  3. Loui buyout cost us 4 mill in cap this year and 1 next. Play him in the minors and it'll cost us 4,875,000 and nothing next year. I think it would be wise to play him in the minors and use the buyouts on the likes of Virtanens, Roussels and Beagles of the team. If we hear Seattle is not interested in Holtby we should be offering some kind of incentive 2022 3rd rounder, 2nd if needed. Personally I think we are better off drafting at the 9th spot, unless we are getting a bonified 20-23 year old star that fits our needs
  4. So if Seattle has come out and said they will not take dead money, why are you beating a dead horse? Detroit has said if they get assets that help the future they would consider bad money, why not work a deal with them that does not involve selling the 9th overall. I'd rather part with Juolevi/Rathbone, Lind, Gaj, Jasek, Lockwood ect than give away our 9th overall to over pay for some free agents...
  5. I like it, and we keep our first to draft a nice future player. Johnson looks pretty good, better with the Petey comparisons
  6. I wouldn't say the Sedins were not playoff performers, maybe not elite carry your team scorers but from 08/09 season on H. Sedin had 58 point in 62 playoff games and D Sedin had 53 points in 58 games
  7. Depending how much cap space we have left after filling the lineup holes we may not have another choice.
  8. Eriksson in Abbotsford only cost us an extra $875,000 and nothing next year. Since he wont retire he can play, or not, on the farm. As for the rest, JV buyout/terminate. Beagle, still think he is a good 4th line center. Roussel, buyout. Holtby trade if possible, if not offer the Kraken incentive to take off our hands. Next years lineup, JB has a lot of holes to fill... Miller Petey Boeser Hoglander Horvat Podz Pearson **** ------ Motte Beagle Hughes ****** Schmidt ****** Rathbone Myers Demko DePietro
  9. I like the more direct answer to the (I would say stupid) question(s) players get asked. How do you think you played tonight (insert Hoglander answer). Instead of, the team was great, we really came out hard, we wanted this game tonight... You scored a couple goals can you talk about those for a moment... Well the guys did all the work and I was just in the right place to finish, its a team effort out there... Blah Blah Blah, so old, love this answer. He knows its still a team game, seems only the media needs to be reminded of it on a nightly basis
  10. Straight up Chucky for Huggy Bear. Someone's off their meds again (Cirelli that you)?
  11. Probably because we called up Rathbone
  12. My understanding of the CBA is, with missing the RFA signing deadline we cannot sign Tryamkin until July 1st, or whatever day free agency opens this year. Please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that is the way it is written. Now that is not to say that the team and player (agent) cannot agree to something prior, just cannot go into effect until first day of FA
  13. Hard to say and maybe a little late to hope he recaptures that ability he had when he was drafted. Hopefully all he needed was to be back in BC.
  14. Needed for expansion draft??? These boards would have gone nuts for this deal 3 years ago...
  15. So buy out Loui, that clears up an extra 2 mill, or bury him for 1.075M. Seattle has to pick someone off our roster, that will likely clear some cap space. Not too worried
  16. Podz with the empty net goal to seal the win
  17. Benn was the player that actually had the virus, Miller was a close contact and that is why he was out. Miller never had it. Immune maybe, but Hawryluk had it in Ottawa and has got it again so who knows.
  18. So you just don't like him and there is nothing to debate about what makes him good and what makes him bad, got it.
  19. So what you are saying is a player is only as valuable as the points they put up?
  20. You want to trade Sutter (retained money) and a 2nd for Khaira... Khaira would net you maybe a 4th, probably a 5th if someone wanted him...
  21. The Average/Oversized guys under Baummer are no better, so your argument is moot... Until we have a better staff we will continue to concede shots/attempts at a higher rate than we generate
