  1. the w the wings just got rid of hronek at 25.. so why would they consider garland?? trade away 25 year old that works for the timeline.. but they think they are not ready and then trade for a 27 year old?
  2. hence why i say even if they were all in on hronek they easily coulda waited till the draft and move out some cap first. Hronek is a massive risk with what we given up. that "undisclosed" injury in december not sure how anyone can think anything but a concussion would be his 2nd concussion in 2 years.. look at what we ended up with ferland and poolman.. people before wouldn't even want byram because of his concussion history.. how is hronek any different?
  3. Sure but we still have to sign our rfa so possible 2mil for bear and you want to be under the cap to start the season so you get maximum ltir relief. With the current roster at this very moment let say we can’t move any contracts out without giving up sweeteners. How do we get under the cap on opening day? Say we are 3.5mil over the cap on opening day and we end up putting poolman and Pearson on ltir. Instead of getting 5.75 ltir pool. We get a maximum 3.5. Not exactly a good situation. With bonus overage and a bare minimal roster with all the ltir players on the opening lineup I believe we will be right at if not over the salary cap. Which means we can’t even look at ufa until we move anything out. We want to bring back schenn? Tough because we wouldn’t technically have the space until the players are on ltir
  4. the Hronek trade i think is horrible not because hronek is a bad player.. but the timing of the trade.. we needed more of a top pairing shutdown defenceman and hronek doesn't exactly fit the description.. also we are buying high on a player that's "injured" who knows if he'll come back 100% the same.. he's coming off multiple injuries.. the concussion in december and the shoulder injury. we easily could have waited to make that move in the summer.. or at the draft... or there could be other players available after the playoff.. maybe teams are looking to shake up their teams.. but instead we buy high on hronek paint ourselves into the corner again with cap.... they want to make the hronek trade? that's fine. MOVE OUT CAP first.. a lot of us still lives in the fantasy land thinking there'll be plenty of teams lining up to take the garlands myers boesers off our hand for free.. so you think garland and boeser are trash?? well other team probably think the exact same. myers even at 3mil is a liability he brings nothing offensively and he can't play defence and 3mil is way too much for a bottom pairing defenceman which is what he'll be on any decent looking team.
  5. i mean what do you expect.. most proposals out there are so 1 sided favoring the canucks and all their players they want to rid as cap dump have so much value there'd be teams lining up to take them while other teams players can be all have for peanuts and anything more is a overpayment.
  6. imagine losing with mcdavid and draistal vs vegas 5th string goalie lol.. Lehner>Thompson>brossoit>Quick>Hill
  7. sure feel free to chop them as if they ain't already just be prepared for mcdavid to get plastered. maybe pietrangelo shouldn't be as obvious with his 2 hand slash. he should just return by favor by returning this exact same cheap shot to the oiler star players.
  8. lol i have no issue with him going after their star player.. i mean if oilers are taking cheap shot at him "star" player.. then their "star" player can expected to be cheap shotted.. if they are cheap shotting pietrangelo with their 4th line.. u expect them to just go after the 4th line irrelevant player instead of their stars?
  9. getting started? they are in another legal battle over the rink lmao.. the rink might be finished by the time AM retires at this rate
  10. why 10 years when he'll be ufa in 7
  11. lol so we are going to force EP to play on 1 leg like linden did right? so we can draft say a connor mcdavid? the players are going to try and win a draft pick for the team while not getting paid right especially those that won't be re-signed
  12. did it matter last season and the season before and all the season previous?
  13. so the worse team or the most injured team have 0 chance at it? or do you force ur stars to play thru injury like they do in the playoffs so u can have a better draft pick?
  14. and why does it matter? tampa bay already won before the canucks and plenty of cups too. carolina won before the canucks anaheim won before the canucks.. who cares? i rather florida wins than watching every closet laffs fan crawl out of their closet and celebrate on the streets of every city in canada like toronto = canada.
  15. just need edmonton and toronto to get eliminated so i dont have to watch sportsnet central everynight for sports highlight only for it to be 55mins of toronto edmonton 5mins everything else.
  16. selke while an individual award team plays heavily into it. you ain't winning the selke if your team is consistently terrible defensively aka the canucks.
  17. well at least this playoff have shown us you don't need great goaltending in the playoff.. you just need average to mediocre goaltending to win as long as you either have a great special team, great top 9 forwards, or average but balance forward/defence... all of the goaltenders remaining actually sucks and capable of losing the series by themselves.
  18. Watching MT guaranteeing game 7 and delivering.. biggest draft miss in Canucks history based on draft position? I mean there’s prolly a few others we coulda gotten better.. but we straight up drafted a bust that didn’t even make it in the league
  19. yes of coz but the poster was probably want to force him into riding the bus so he would waive his no trade so we could actually even attempt to move him
  20. how are you planning to send him to abbotsford to ride the bus with a full NMC?
  21. lol.. how do u have a guy that missed more than 25% of the season 1st.. dont care how good he is if hes missing 25% of the season Fox is much better all round than makar considering the colorado defence is pretty stack itself. also morrissey isn't even top 10?? the fact that you have Makar playing with another guy that's in your top 10 list basically should disqualify him for missing 25% of the season. this kid is made out of paper and easily the most injury proned defenceman out of the list by a mile.
  22. typical cdc thinking every player on the canucks are worth the moon. bear for 2nd boeser for a 1st myer for a 2nd etc etc lol
  23. he's a RD he's cheap and relatively young. if he have value there'll be more teams in on him than basically just vancouver. if he have no value then with only a 1 year deal as a rfa he's not all of a sudden going to have value being a pending ufa at the tdl
  24. lol no one is going got give u a 2nd.. if he's worth a 2nd carolina wouldn't give him away literally for free as an rfa he's no better than schenn for what he brings
  25. ya don't see a reason for him to sign anything for 1-2mil prior to seeing what other teams would offer in the ufa. rfa means nothing because it's highly unlikely the canucks will qualify him at 2.2 and if they do bear already wins as if they can't agree on any 2-3 years sub 2mil deal he already have the 2.2mil this season to fall back on to bet on himself.. and unless he falls off the face of the earth.. he will get a similar contract next season.. or if he does well an get a bigger contract.
