  1. Yeah, same with Schenn. It's a placeholder for someone on a similar cap hit in the future. Agreed. Hopefully we would have developed one internally by then (ie. Woo).
  2. Vancouver Island is the jewel of BC... stay away!!! lol.. Although it's getting damn expensive here now too.
  3. I think Petey will get there. He's got way too high hockey IQ not to. Even defensively, we saw last night his defensive awareness is through the roof. He's not gonna be a physical force, ever... but neither was Datsyuk, and I think Petey will top out to be a Datsyuk-like player. You may be right with Horvat. Looking at comparables, he might be in the lower end of $6M rather than the higher end. Top 4 RHD always command a premium. They're really hard to acquire. I'd say $5M is on the low end of a Top 4 RHD, and Manson is on the lower end of top 4 RHD as well. If you find a bonafide top flight Top 4 RHD, he'll likely be $6M+. For example, Klingberg will likely be $7M+.
  4. That's what I feel too. There's way too much potential here. All they need to find is consistency.
  5. I think the poster was saying trade Miller AND Horvat now...
  6. Need something to do now that TDL is over
  7. Oh my spreadsheet probably isn't clear. I'm not saying re-sign Myers. I'm saying replacing him with a Top 4 RHD when his contract ends.
  8. What kinda players are you targetting with moving two of the main centres on this team?
  9. And despite that, they're still playing .600+ hockey. I think it's just a case of growing pains. Most of this team is relatively young. We went through this with the Sedins era too. CONSISTENCY. They need to figure out how to bring that every game. Once they do, look out. This team can do damage.
  10. And there's STILL cap space left to work with
  11. Where do we find a RHD that won't take years of development? If we draft one, he won't be ready for 4 to 6 years before taking on a regular Top 4 role.
  12. Since coach Boudreau has taken over, how has this team done? They've played nearly half a season under Boudreau now, so we know what this team is.
  13. I'm assuming Petey progresses in his development and becomes that PPG forward we expect he SHOULD become. That's a few years down the road, so not outside the realm of probability. Not sure what you think Horvat is worth right now? Manson is a Top 4 RHD... I'm pretty sure $5M AAV is the going rate for one. You won't get one for $4M AAV, maybe a LHD.
  14. With how Hogs started the year, I'd normally agree... but Hogs can't even stay in the lineup these days. His production has fallen off a cliff. To ask him to step up and try and make up some of the 20g 50pt production of Garland could be detrimental to his development. Some say Hogs should be in Abbotsford right now.
  15. Podkolzin-Petey-Boeser ______-Miller-Hoglander Pearson-Bo-Dickinson Highmore-Lamikko-Deslaurier Still missing a Top 6 forward. Or like I said, I prefer this: Podkolzin-Petey-Boeser Miller-Bo-Hoglander Pearson-______-Dickinson Highmore-Lamikko-Deslaurier
  16. Really? I'd be surprised... Lindholm just signed for $6.5M AAV and he's a much more complete defenceman than Manson.
  17. That's a lot of holes to fill lol. I just really worry that this Canucks team is gonna play their hearts out (and maybe just fall short), but they will at least see that they can play really good hockey. They're not idiots. If we can see that the first 1/4 season was heavily impacted by Green, I'm sure they can see it too, and they know they're a much better team than that now. So again, they come close to becoming a solid playoff team, then we rip them apart again. This time moving on from Miller, Myers, Motte, and maybe Garland? Last time Toffoli, Tanev, Edler, and Marky. We can't keep doing that.
  18. I'd be worried about doing that. We lose a competitive edge. Our forwards: Podkolzin-Petey-Boeser ______-Miller-Hoglander Pearson-Bo-________ Highmore-Lamikko-Deslaurier So no more Lockwood? We'd be missing a Top 6 forward unless you go with: Podkolzin-Petey-Boeser Miller-Bo-Hoglander Pearson-______-_______ Highmore-Lamikko-Deslaurier I'd probably prefer this then, and create a checking 3rd line rather than a scoring one.
  19. I think that's putting some serious pressure on Hogs and/or Podz. Garland is gonna be entering his prime, and I'd say he'd be basically a 20+ goal, 50+ point forward. You won't find one for $2.5M. That's Tyler Motte / Jason Dickinson money.
  20. Out of curiosity, what would the forwards look like without Garland on the roster for next year?
  21. I feel the way the defence is constructed, it's an even spread of minutes across all 3 pairings. Rather than playing the top 4 25min a night each, the pairings play 20min each. Hence having Myers on the 3rd pair with Dermott spreads it out. Schenn has been a Top 4 in terms of underlying stats for awhile now.
  22. So who do you feel is not a Top 4: Hughes, OEL, Manson, Myers
  23. For term I could see it. He's never been that healthy. Relatively injury prone. Getting security for long term at $6.25M should be mighty enticing for him.
  24. Sam Reinhart who I'd say is a much more complete player and a centre as well just signed a $6.5M AAV deal for 3 years at a similar age as Boeser. So I can't see how Boeser would get more than that. He probably should get a bit less, so I landed at $6.25M.
