[Speculation] Canucks exploring Tyler Myers trade
Spoosh replied to brian42's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
This happens every single year. It must be the heat - like in Predator. Summertime at CDC is like having really heavy night sweats after a drinking binge. A horrible, endless set of nightmares and you can’t seem to wake up even if you want to. It would appear that the peak of frustration is looming and polite (if ever that) conversation has come to an end with people starting to direct their anxiety towards fellow fans (too much). This is the time when Spooshy starts his annual hiatus in hopes that cooler heads prevail in late August or so. Have a nice summer, fellow fans. -
[Rumour] J.T. Miller Trade/Contract Talks
Spoosh replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Those would be manageable and fair but I don’t think JT will sign a deal like that. I really hope he will. -
[Signing] Canucks sign Ilya Mikheyev
Spoosh replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
That is not correct. He does a lot of things right out there and can produce. With the years we’ve had here, what he has been fighting through and all he has been good and he’ll be much better with a big chunk of that stuff progressing in the right way for him now. People here just like new shiny stuff and don’t value what we have. I for one am very happy to have him here and wish he’ll stay for a long time. -
(Rumour) Tkachuk trade in the works
Spoosh replied to cuporbust's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I guess it isn’t tampering if Calgary gives the ok to speak to his agent about it in advance…? -
(Rumour) Tkachuk trade in the works
Spoosh replied to cuporbust's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I got it but had to check since I thought the discussion was about Americans signing in Canada. And I recall the beautiful saves he made playing for Team USA in the olympics back in 2010. -

If this happens, the next one to go has to be / should be Markström. I know we dont have a lot of Leafs or Oilers fans here but imagine how good one of those would be with Marky in net. -
[Rumour] John Klingberg waiting on Canucks to make a move
Spoosh replied to Mikey87's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Something like this would be good. I’m probably in the minority here but I’d like to see what whis current group can do in a full season under Bruce and the staff. Sure I’d be excited to see what returns we’d get for Miller, Garland or even Myers but those are all really good players to have on a team and the were coming together pretty nicely down the strech. I see us being a playoff team with the group we have right now. -
[Speculation] Canucks exploring Tyler Myers trade
Spoosh replied to brian42's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I’m not a specialist on this cap/LTIR but moving Myers and signing someone, or trading him for a cheaper player won’t help our cap for the coming year all that much with Ferland still on the books. We need to be at the cap to get any help from that so clearing 6M and signing someone for 2M will result in roughly the same outcome as we’ll have Ferland count against the cap then? I’m not sure but that is my understanding of it. If we move both Myers and lets say Garland for picks and prospects then we’ll have real room to manouver at the deadline etc. No? -
To my understanding, Dubois is not undr contract with Winnipeg as of right now so his agent can say that without fear of blowback like people are planning for him. Ruining his development or career. He hasn’t said he’ll only sign with Montreal either so in the adult world it probably isn’t viewed as badly as CDC is doing.

[Signing] Maple Leafs sign Calle Jarnkrok
Spoosh replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
This seems to be, for the most part, the offseason of reasonable overpayment. Most deals have surprised me. Salary being very manageable and several contracts are long. Even this one would normally have been a 1-year deal at 2.1M. -
[Signing] Canucks sign Curtis Lazar
Spoosh replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
True and obvious. But he might thrive in that role and we know injuries will play a part and it would be good for his game to play wing and gain some confidence from good results. As of now he doesn’t have a place on our top-9 and maybe not even on the whole roster without a really good camp. -
[Signing] Canucks sign Curtis Lazar
Spoosh replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I think he could be good on the 3rd line too as a winger (if need be). Would take the pressure away a bit playing on the wing and might translate into some better numbers on his part: -
[Signing] Avalanche sign Brad Hunt
Spoosh replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
When we signed him I was a bit meh (didn’t share it on CDC, kept it to myself) but as the season progressed, his attitude kinda grew on me. I’m sorry but I’m kinda sad he is gone. -
[Signing] Jets sign Ashton Sautner
Spoosh replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Back in the day I had hopes he’d crack the roster on the big team. Good thing he found a familiar home again. -
[Signing] Avalanche re-sign Artturi Lehkonen
Spoosh replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Good for Artturi! Really happy for him. He seems like a good fit in Colorado. -
[Signing] Canucks re-sign Phil Di Giuseppe
Spoosh replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Is there any chance a moderator could look up some CDC stats on how many topics we have had on AHL players, and how many ’plan the parade’ -replys we’ve had on them during… let’s say the last 15 years. It would be a fun stat to have. We could even utilize the statistic and cross reference it with the number of actual cup parades we have had and get a good R0 figure to use as a baseline for future cup win odds. Nothing personal and no harm intended towards @VegasCanuck on this one. -
[Signing] Canucks sign Dakota Joshua
Spoosh replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I have to study up on this kid some more. I thought he was more AHL depth but Allvin has a very credible delivery when he speaks so I trust him when he said Joshua is gonna be on the NHL roster. -
[Signing] Blue Jackets sign Johnny Gaudreau
Spoosh replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
What the F…? That came outta left field and ran me over like a semi. Way to go Jarmo Kekäläinen. He got the job done. I wonder if he still has room to sign Laine now. -
[Signing] Canucks sign Ilya Mikheyev
Spoosh replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I didn’t expect this but way to go! I like it alot! We can all see that there are trades coming and it will be F for D. That’s what the signings today forces us to do and that is what Jim said was going down. Sign mostly depth, mostly. And trade for D. Garland, Miller and Dipietro look like the guys we’ll move (no surprise there of course) and I sense it will be after these first 2-3 days when things calm down a little bit. -
[Signing] Kraken sign Andre Burakovsky
Spoosh replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Isn’t this a relatively accurate deal for what he brings? And being signed on the first day of FA it doesn’t sound like huge overpayment to me.. -
[Rumour] Jàgr is available
Spoosh replied to The Arrogant Worms's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Great stuff by Jaromir I wonder what city he’d call home if we sign him. If it is in the east he might play just 1 game all season -
[Signing] Canucks sign Wyatt Kalynuk
Spoosh replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Can’t say I know much about him but I like everything Canucks so I gotta like this one too. We need quality depth pretty badly so good job! -
[Signing] Capitals sign Henrik Borgstrom
Spoosh replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Here is a guy I would have liked us to take a chance on. Hasn’t worked out so far but I wouldn’t have given up on him yet like Chicago did.
