[Report/Rumour] Elias Pettersson Contract Talks
wai_lai416 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
ok to be fair mackinnon started in the nhl at 18 vs EP at 20.. if u compare the 20-25 years old stats then it's very similar i didn't even read what you guys are arguing about so i have no comments.. both are great but if given the choice i'd take EP at 11mil or whatever than Mackinnon at 12.5.. Mackinnon is a fair superior offensive player imo and his intensity is hard to match.. but EP is a far better 2 way center.. the biggest difference for me?? EP is far more durable.. Mackinnon always seems to miss anywhere from 10-15 games a year... and seriously who cares about the hart trophy. i'm wiling to bet neither will ever win it as long as McDavid doesn't have a season ending injury, Bedard lives up to expectation. Tkachuk doesnt fall back to earth.. really with the way mcdavid is going.. scoring 60+ goals and more than 1.5 points per game?? might as well change the name of the award to McDavid trophy.. if he's popping 130 a year.. can argue for others.. but when he's popping in 150+ points a year?? i don't even think it can go to anyone else even if they miss the playoff lol -
i'm going to assume 1a is your top defenseman and ur 2a is your 3rd best defenseman.. so hronek all of a sudden is probabaly the 4th or 5th best defenceman on a team at best?? what happened to he's a legit top pairing defenceman? my guess is he's going to ask for minimum hughes money thx to the severson signing and he can prolly play hard ball with the canucks if he wants given he'll be the #2 defenceman on the team and how much they gave up for him.
-
lol i don't even want to know what Hronek will demand after seeing what severson just got.. severson was essentially playing 3rd pairing sheltered minutes in NJD all season.. if he gets that with max years? hronek will be looking at the very minimum hughes cap

mike richards was signed in 2007 like 3 or 4 years before he was traded subban was traded 2 years after his contract started and that's his issue for not negotiating a no trade for the entire contract or is there some rules with RFA not allowed to have any trade protection -

No it isn’t you trading a guy that signed his max contract expecting to retire here vs a guy that have the expectation he might get traded half way thru his contract Richards had no control over his contract when he signed for the first 5 years miller does. You think miller signs that contract if he remotely even thinks he’s going to get traded prior to the contract kicking in? -

Yes but he didn’t just sign an extension and got traded he was traded while he had no trade protection yet from his long ass contract so he knew there was always possibility he gets traded till that kicks in -

many players signed contract with no trade protection till later in their contract gets traded is different from signing an extension with full no trade protection and then getting backstabbed sent to winnipeg or arizona for the remainder of their career.. that's a huge difference.. no one cares about ex teammates? imagine Miller getting traded to a team that he'll never sign with.. and airs out all the dirty laundry with the team and management. create more negative drama with a team that's full of negative drama. just what we need. signing miller to a max contract with trade protection and then turn around to dump him to a team he doesn't want to go without consulting him is the biggest douchemove this franchise can do and i've always been a trade Miller guy for the last 2-3 years. PLD is the worse type of team player in the league.. have there been a player that requested more trades out of a team in this short career than PLD? probably not.. as soon as he doesn't like the coach or team or whatever reasons he will make up he'll request out again. 0 respect for contracts, the team he plays for, nor his teammate and the fan base. -

wai_lai416 replied to Elias Pettersson's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
sure it's business but it's bad business.. how many player that signed an extension (not a sign and trade) and gets traded 1 year later before his contract even kicks in? i can't even think of 1... we are not talking about players that requested a trade out etc.. and i don't even think there's a player that requested a trade out before extension kicked in. lol Pettersson for sure have to worry about getting traded if he signs that massive 8 year this summer.. if the team absolutely sh*ts the bed again this upcoming season.. we might be looking at a full blown clean house rebuild, and Hronek will play out his rfa. if we dont' extend EP early it's a giant risk lol.. if he doesn't talk contract during the season which is possible so he can focus that basically leaves 2 months or less depending if we make the playoff from him signing his qualifying offer. -

that's a really dick move to trade a player signed to a max contract to a team nobody wants to sign with right before his NTC kicks in.. and probably will have effect on future signings.. if you are EP would you want to sign ur long term extension here in the summer knowing the team could all of a sudden trade you to arizona for the next 8 years after he signed or would he wait until his current contract expires and have a full NMC before signing his next contract? winnipeg is like the arizona of the north.. no one wants to spend 7-8 years there.. winnipeg would be absolutely stupid to make that trade without talking to JT Miller first to see his intention.. JT will never hold out.. he can let his play do the talking and just float around and collect his 8mil.. no GM is stupid enough to make that type of trade without consulting because they play in a city no one wants to live in. -

Winnipeg would prolly need to talk to miller first to see if he even have any intention of playing in Winnipeg.. which I’m pretty sure would be a no. Otherwise Miller might just demand a trade and play like crap as tantrum since he have no motivation to play in Winnipeg. There’s also close to 0 chance PLD would sign in Vancouver and this is the 2nd time he’s requesting/demanding a trade. This guy have no respect for teams and managements and only care about himself. He will demand another trade out the moment it turns south -
[Signing] Kings re-sign Vladislav Gavrikov
wai_lai416 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
the way i look at it.. it's a no lose situation for gavrikov for only signing a 2 year deal.. the only way he'll lose is he suffers a career ending injury.. or he goes the way of OEL and LE and don't know how to play hockey again... after the 2 years is over.. if he played well.. he can prolly be looking at a 7mil+ contract based on the cap at the time which prolly will be around 90mil? 7mil will be like the new 5mil in couple years in terms of market price.. and say he regress a little?? he'll probably still get 5-5.5mil as that'll be the new 3.5-4mil.. so really he can't lose unless he gets absolutely the worse luck and ends his career. -

obviously he's waiting for the cap to balloon and hit that home run which is smart on his part -
Let's Not Panic -- Cap Situation is NOT that Dire
wai_lai416 replied to HKSR's topic in Canucks Talk
if all of those are happening then OEL's cap would be irrelevant at 7.26. i still fail to see how adding 11mil cap in year 2 and year 3 makes it any better. so instead of having the ability to add a 4mil player in year 2/3 or do nothing i we are already at the cap we are going to have to move out a 4mil player during what's left of miller at his highest production?? and only have to deal with 1 more year of OEL's cap but let's just eat OEL's cap for 8 years while only benefitting the team in year 1 aka this coming season when we are least likely to be relevant.. suffer in year 2 and 3.. and then his cap hit for another 5 years instead of 1.. 0 logic 0 sense. -
so not only do we need to magically move cap out prior to july 1st which is probably going to be impossible without sweeteners.. we want to call NJD and give them a draftpick for the rights?? lol bs.. any cap related move prior to july 1st will cost heavy.. because team knows you want to move cap so u have money to spend on july 1st..

wai_lai416 replied to HKSR's topic in Canucks Talk
no one cares about the 2.1mil cap hit for the 4 years.. it's the 4.8mil cap hit for the 2 years when we are supposively competitive according to people.. the 4.8mil is going to be on the books when miller is 32-33 years old.. whatever cap saving you get from buying out OEL this next couple years they are likely going to spend it all up.. they save 7mil.. they gonna spend 7mil.. and then u add in the 4.8mil when it spikes up.. we literally spend 11.8mil cap.. -
[Proposal] Miller + 11OA to Columbus for 3OA
wai_lai416 replied to Coconuts's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
any deal involving Miller have seal of approval from me ahaha great player unfortunately wrong timing because we won't reap any benefit from him the next 2-3 years where he'll prolly still be very productive and then we'll be stuck with an anchor of a contract for the remaining 4-5 years. -

wai_lai416 replied to Coconuts's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
if columbus have any slight interest i'd be pushing hard to see what it would take to get it done.. if they demand for a prospect added in or a later pick? i'd be ok with it. not only does it get us out of cap hell and we add a legit prospect.. it'll make all the subsequent moves to move either boeser/myer/garland or whomever less desperate.. where we can wait and see if a team comes knocking with a fair deal to take one of those players off our hand instead of us calling 31 teams to see what it would take for them to take so and so. -

lol AB is a cap dump.. 20 points in 33 games means absolutely nothing playing with EP last season.. put a pylon up there and they still put up decent points. AB have done absolutely nothing outside of playing with EP. he was invisible in march after his "hot" start with EP.. if mikheyev comes back healthy.. not a chance AB is playing with EP so he's back to his non productive useless stats.. teams aint blind.. he was invisible with NYI whos been trying to rid him forever.. and he was invisible outside of playing with EP and against hot garbage team. he's 100% a cap dump if u trade him now.. the only time he wont be a cap dump is the TDL. -
Lol PlD have pretty much been a me first type of guy putting himself above the team he will request out the moment things go south. Didn’t his agent or something leaked out he would love to play for Montreal last season and he showed up at the draft expecting to be traded to Montreal? Contract means nothing to players nowadays. They’ll cry pout and whine their way out of a city if they have to

[Signing] Canadiens re-sign Caufield
wai_lai416 replied to goalie13's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
lol how is hughes a more accurate comparable? they literally gambled on hughes and won.. hughes wasn't even a .5ppg guy in his career a the time he signed his contract.
