  1. Wife Left me yesterday, could really use a pick me up win from the boys tonight. Hopefully they destroy Carolina.
  2. We’ve got the 4th highest paid Defence total in the league. Behind only San Jose, Minnesota and Colorado. (We’re within 500,000 of Colorado and Minny) Canucks have 29 million invested in the blue line, while most teams spend 21 million.
  3. He’s not wrong. The fickle media in Vancouver however is very good at manipulating the emotion and thinking of the local fanbase.
  4. When Barzal only had 6 points in 16 games we may have been able to get him. But him having something like 9 points in his last 6, slim chance he gets dealt. And if NYI did, they’d probably start at Petey, Rathbone and a couple of firsts to even get them talking.
  5. We’re actually in a horrible cap space situation. Our top 6F+top 3D + starting Goalie costs sooo much that it leaves us with an average of 1.04m/player to fill out bottom6F, bottom3F and a backup. when nhl minimum wage is 750,000... that’s devastating in terms of depth. We’re paying waaay too much for our D and top6. You can’t have 3 D making 6+.. you can have 2 and 3rd one making 4ish. And looking at other teams, you only want 4 players making above 5 at the most. You gotta then find players under 4 to round out your top 6. Analyzing what Benning has done, we need 4 Chiassons and 3 Hunts in order to retain everyone we have Rutherford will have to correct this by dumping at least 1 core player. And 1 other that is making 5-6(Myers seems like the obvious choice). If we don’t, expect to lose 2 of Miller/Horvat/Hoglander in 18 months. And potentially Podkolzin the next year if he develops into a player that is good enough to get paid big.
  6. Hoglander is also due when JT and Bo are due. Benning Left Rutherford in an awful situation cap wise. I think ultimately you have to trade Brock and you have to trade Myers. Both for guys that make 4million or less/year + prospects and/or picks. If we don’t, we’re going to be losing 2 of Bo/Miller/Hoglander. I have no doubts that Rutherford will sort it out. I’ve looked all over the league and I’m not sure what or who I’d trade for. I just hope that the team keeps trending up and that players who struggled turn it around and recoup their previous value before the trades start happening.
  7. I would love if Rutherford could trade Chiasson and like a 6th rd for someone like Kurtis Gabriel or Deslauries
  8. I wouldn’t say brutal, they’re letting them play. But they’ve definately missed 1 or 2 that we should have got a PP for.
  9. I’d like to see Burroughs try Lowry (for that shove on Garland) if it’s 3-3 going into the 3rd.
