  1. 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.
  2. Those would be manageable and fair but I don’t think JT will sign a deal like that. I really hope he will.
  3. 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.
  4. I guess it isn’t tampering if Calgary gives the ok to speak to his agent about it in advance…?
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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?
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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:
  13. 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.
  14. Back in the day I had hopes he’d crack the roster on the big team. Good thing he found a familiar home again.
  15. Good for Artturi! Really happy for him. He seems like a good fit in Colorado.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. So they still are not on target sith the cap? Jeez! How many more iou toilet papers can they hand out?
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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..
  22. 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
  23. 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!
  24. 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.
