    [Buyout] Canucks terminate Virtanen’s contract

    in Trades, Rumours, Signings

    Posted

    8 Accusers, really? Would make me look dumb to somewhat defending the case before. 

     

    I was just reading up more about the case though... The girl did not report the crime to the police so this is not a criminal case, it is a civil suit filed in.... Kelowna, blows up the whole thing/leak to the media through that Twitter account. Pretty meticulous planning for someone who is the victim.

    He looked good in his extremely limited opportunities here.

    hopefully he gets a real chance in Seattle  to show what he can do.

    Having a coach choose vessey Boyd and other plugs in a loser season over developing youth  doesn’t do the club any favours.

    Hope  he makes the team, best thing to happen to him was getting picked up Gad and macewen probably a bit jealous stuck here with no real opportunity. 
    but hey atleast we got to see vessey and Boyd do nothing nightly…
     

    Yeah Green was still under the delusion that he can either make the playoffs or they should play the best player every game. Except... Vessey / Boyd and the unknowns we picked up last season were a giant waste of time instead of developing our own prospects.

    Can't believe people are taking this seriously. 

     

    Disgruntled ex spouse making accusations like this holds very little weight.

     

    Zero burger. 

     

     

    lol? You dont believe a bankrupt person who's lost his whole lifetime earnings of around 50million on gambling or whatever he does would bet on his own games? Not one bit? Let's just throw names at the wife like disgrunted. The guy's a mess. 

    (Rumour) Canucks concerned about a Pettersson offer sheet

    Why is Sutter getting 1million. Roussel/Beagle should get off the team asap. And then here it is suddenly chill with people offering Dickinson 3.5mil AAV lol... He may suck, or may not fit the team at all. I dont know if arbitration rights come into play or not. But I would offer him a 1.5mil 1 year deal to see how things turn out. Canucks are just digging themselves into another salary cap hole handing out contracts like this to unproven players.

    [Signing] Blue Jackets re-sign Jake Bean

    in Trades, Rumours, Signings

    Posted · Edited by Drakrami

    Jake Bean is already a pretty good defensemen... Getting him for a 2nd rounder is just highway robbery. The moves by Carolina this offseason is just totally dumb. They had such a great up and coming team. 

     

    Losing Hamilton for nothing too after trading their previous 2  #5 drafted players for him.

    Michael ferlund retires?

    Well hated him in 2014. Squashed as like bugs and we had no pushback whatsoever. You can tell he loves hockey though, so this is sad news to hear he won't be playing again. Good luck to him in his other pursuits!

    [Signing] Blue Jackets re-sign Zach Werenski

    This kind of contract at 24... Horvat's draft class was still taking in 5.5x6 or 6x6s contracts.. 

     

    I guess he did score 20 goals a couple of years ago. If he performs at that level from 24 to 30 years old - his best years, this contract would be well worth it. But these kids are getting their huge pay day way too earlier.

    [Signing] Canucks sign Tucker Poolman

    Exactly. I still can't believe how toxic this fan base can be at times. This signing has been ridiculed, torn apart and micro examined to no end in just over 24 hours, meanwhile the Hamonic signing has been mostly lauded and celebrated.

     

    Over the last 2 seasons both players put up nearly identical stat lines, but somehow giving Hamonic $3M for 2 years until he's 33 years old is fine but giving Poolman $2.5 for 4 years until he's 32 is a mistake. 

     

    I'm not trying to say that this signing is going to be a great one and Poolman is going to out play his contract and make all the haters eat their words. All I'm saying is that this is a pretty low risk signing for a player that, stylistically, is probably the perfect partner for either Rathbone or Juolevi on the 3rd pair.

    You trying to say that Hamonic and Poolman are similar level players is lol. (btw I am ok with the Poolman signing, I even think it is decent and could surprise to the upside)
