  1. oh no... sad to see this end, so suddenly too. My #1 go to place for hockey updates. Gotta give props to Mr.@-Vintage Canuck-for that. Everyone take care!
  2. If age goes into consideration, then it'd be close. If not, then Pettersson, no need to think.
  3. 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.
  4. Well looks like Hoglander's back to the minors again with Pearson coming back. We also have Di Giuseppe, Dries, Studnicka on standby. Harsh game.. some times you only get that handful of games to prove yourself.
  5. 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.
  6. Friedman always report on things that generate headline, but after you read the report, there's like 0 substance to it.
  7. I wonder for how many years we will continue to see Hoglander and Rathbone in trade proposals.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. Well Matthews surely doesn't deserve to be the highest paid player in the league.
  11. 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.
  12. Better prospects than Woo have slipped through the waivers. But then again, we have Gadjovich get claimed. So i'd say no one knows, it's 50/50 lol...
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. Coyotes.. the Ahl team that signs all the unwanted fringe NHL players.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. And we used 4million LTIR and still bottom feeded.. So...?
