[Signing] Avalanche sign Tomas Tatar
Drakrami replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Johansen and Drouin are questnionable adds. Sakic may have to make 1 more big move at the TDL for them to be a top cup contender. -
[Signing] Lightning sign Tyler Motte
Drakrami replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Why can't he be greedy and look out for himself? He literally has a golden window of 4-5 years, which is his prime years to sign a long term contract that will affect the rest of his life. And he deserves it playing his hearts out every shift. -
[Proposal] Final piece to solidify defense
Drakrami replied to PhillipBlunt's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
I wonder for how many years we will continue to see Hoglander and Rathbone in trade proposals. -
[Report/Rumour] Elias Pettersson Contract Talks
Drakrami replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Good try on the offer, but..... It is hard to pry away a #1 defenseman from any team. Let alone a team that thinks it is still competing the upcoming season. You may think 2 1sts is a a lot. But Morrissey is ppg 28 year old dman signed to a 6.25mil AAV contract. I am not sure Winnipeg even considers your offer lol. Shoulda went for Chychrun if you are going for dman. -
[Signing] Maple Leafs re-sign Auston Matthews
Drakrami replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
No. The reason hes signed to 4 years because that takes him to age 29 where he can again cash in another 8 year old term contract with whichever desperate team. -
[Signing] Maple Leafs re-sign Auston Matthews
Drakrami replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Well Matthews surely doesn't deserve to be the highest paid player in the league. -
I seem to remember people saying JT Miller will get 110-115 points after his 99 point season. Or Canucks will have 9 players with 20 goals last season. Why does your post seem eerily similar with the same reasonings lol. Not saying it can't happen, because Kuzmenko is a great player. But there really aren't many 50 goal scorers in the league. Possible, but not likely.

[Signing] Capitals re-sign Tom Wilson
Drakrami replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Comparing Miller to Wilson's contract is just lol. Capitals had to pay Wilson. With the way Wilson's played for the team over the years. There is something called loyalty in this league, especially when they have won a cup. Not many players get fleece like Klingberg with Dallas. Now people are trying to use Wilson's contract to feel good about Miller's contract. Miller's contract is fair. But as evident by the lack of teams wanting to trade for Miller, not many teams want to have a player like Miller that occupies a caphit of 8million AAV. -
[Poll] which defensemen will earn a full time roster spot this season?
Drakrami replied to Ted Lasso's topic in Canucks Talk
Probably Johansson (because he is Swedish) and Hirose. -
So basically no more Kravtsov in a Canucks uniform? The dude signs 2 years in the KHL just in time to make him an UFA - he hates the Canucks that badly? lol. Well this got embarrassing quickly for the "oh my god, he was a #9 pick, hes going to be a gem" bandwagon group.

[Rumour] Van & Columbus trade rumor
Drakrami replied to 5nothincanucksohno's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
lol... These rumor sites posts rumors articles every few days (even if there is no actually no rumor at all), or how else do the sites survive to drive clicks? They most likely get their "rumor ideas" from forum sites too. So it's just super funny when you see forum starting up posts with these "articles". Google news or whatever not knows that you are a Canucks fans. So these "articles"/sites are pushed to you. -
[Signing] Coyotes sign Matt Dumba
Drakrami replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Coyotes.. the Ahl team that signs all the unwanted fringe NHL players. -
[3-Way Trade] Penguins acquire Erik Karlsson, Rem Pitlick, Dillon Hamaliuk, 2026 3rd-round pick; Sharks acquire Mikael Granlund, Jan Rutta, Mike Hoffman, 2024 1st-round pick; Canadiens acquire Jeff Petry, Casey DeSmith, Nathan Legare, 2025 2nd-round pick
Drakrami replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
4.5mil for Graves is a huge bargain... And just 6 years too. Relative to Severson 6.25mil x 8 years lol. It depends on how well Karlsson meshes with Crosby or Letang. Letang's been their #1 guy for years, now they will have to somehow split up the opportunities. It depends how much Crosby's still got in the tank if they can compete for the cup. -

lol there's no league-wide conspiracy against Canadian teams... We were put into every position to win the 2010 cup, we just dropped the ball. What you said isn't false, but doesn't equal to the league is against Canadians teams. If Canadian teams start dominating the league for the next 10 years, then yes, there's a problem since Americans would lose interest in the sport. If NHL was a cheat league, that gives special treatment to special teams, you would find evidence of special treatment to teams like LA Kings, NY Rangers, LV Golden Knights and even Dallas Stars. These cities have a market in a class of their own. So far I'm seeing none of that. You would also see preferably treatment to Seattle Kraken which just entered the league, I also don't see any of that. In fact, if there's some conspiracy against Candians teams. Oilers wouldn't have drafted McDavid (only the best talent our generation) and Leafs wouldn't have drafted Matthews. -

If talking about just last season. He drops Sandin to Capitals, picks up a 1st round pick. Uses a 1st round pick to get McCabe from Chicago, which is an upgrade to Sandin for their cup run. And also went for O'Reilly as TDL rental, which isn't necessary a bad choice. All the while still managing to keep a 1st round pick to the 2023 draft which was super deep. Not like he has cups to show for it. But you can tell there's intelligence behind his moves. -

Well that's just your opinion on Dubas which sounds quite biased to me. The facts listed before just speaks for itself. The league also thinks highly of Dubas as well Leafs wanted to re-sign him. Penguins snatches him up right after. To me when he was Leafs GM he seemed to be making smart moves every season. And, of course having played hockey is a huge plus to being successful in managing a team. But not a must, which was the point lol. -

Drakrami replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Dubas is smart. He wanted Karlson, he pulls off moves to achieve his goal, that is smart. Also I have never heard of GMs needing to play the game to be successful - where do you come up with that? The Leafs under Dubas has reached 100-115 points every year in the regular season. That is an achievement in itself. Sure your counter argument's going to be they have Matthews, Marner, Tavares, Nylander.. So why are the Canucks not hitting 100 point seasons with Pettersson, Miller, Hughes, Horvat, Demko? Matthews is just 1 year older than Pettersson lol. -
[Signing] Devils re-sign Kevin Bahl
Drakrami replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Dont think they'll miss a beat at all. They added Meiers and Toffoli. Severson they were already playing as a 3rd pairing last season. And they've replaced Graves with Luke Hughes. -
[Proposal] Trade with PIT and finish off roster
Drakrami replied to BigTramFan's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
Why any team would spend 10 million on a buyout just to add Beauvilier as an upgrade to their playoffs. I'd wait for better players available closer to TDL with that capspace. -
[Signing] Canes re-sign Aho 9.75x8
Drakrami replied to MeanSeanBean's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
And we used 4million LTIR and still bottom feeded.. So...?
