[Report] Vegas looking to trade Nikita Gusev
FireGillis replied to Canucks_fo_life's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Vegas is making a mistake by trading him. They should be clearing cap to sign him and playing him in their top 6. He has a chance to be a star like panarin. I'd love him on the canucks. He could play with horvat or petey. -
AVs are like the perfect team to offer sheet Marner. They have the cap space and need to take advantage of Mackinnon being grossly underpaid for another 4 years. They have a go for it window now and those 1st round picks will be late 1st rounders. If they even win 1 cup in that time, it'll be worth it to solve the cap problems later.

[Signing] Islanders sign Semyon Varlamov
FireGillis replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Isn't varly washed up now? Why would you go 4 years with him? -
[Signing] Anders Lee going back to Long Island
FireGillis replied to Spoosh's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
7m is a lot better than that 9m rumour. Still a little high for my tastes cause his production did go down without Tavares. However, isles needed to go crawling back after missing out on panarin and we live in a world where Hayes makes 7m so fair compared to that. -
[Signing] Montreal Offer Sheets Aho
FireGillis replied to babalu's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
David Backes after we offer sheeted him. Went on to become the blues captain for years and only left St. Louis because the blues knew he didn't have much left, so didn't want to sign him to a bad contract like Boston did. -
[Signing] Montreal Offer Sheets Aho
FireGillis replied to babalu's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
How can it be tampering when he's Montreal property now and under contract with them. Carolina just has the right to match the offer now to make him their property again. -
[Signing] Montreal Offer Sheets Aho
FireGillis replied to babalu's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I don't know why Montréal bothered with such a low offer. -
[Signing] Montreal Offer Sheets Aho
FireGillis replied to babalu's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Seems like a low offer for Aho to sign, so am surprised he actually signed it. Was thinking he would hold out for 9.5-10m. Just glad someone had the balls to offer sheet someone and hope someone does it to marner now but for at least 10.5m. -

This says he hasn't signed it. -
[Signing] Montreal Offer Sheets Aho
FireGillis replied to babalu's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
This is kind of a pointless announcement because Aho hasn't signed this offer sheet yet. It's just them announcing they offered one. It's like the canucks announcing they've sent an offer sheet to Marner for 9m. Pointless because marner isn't singing that and Aho shouldn't sign that Montreal one because it's too low. -
[Signing] Devils sign Wayne Simmonds
FireGillis replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
5m show me deal, but I don't think he'll be able to show it and the decline is real. He's going the way of lucic and backes. -
[Signing] Panthers sign Sergei Bobrovsky
FireGillis replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Nah panarin's deal will probably end up being one of the best because he's the only one worth breaking the bank for today. He's at or close to Pettersson's level and I would have no problem giving Pettersson 11.6m today. He might end up costing more though if the cap rises in a couple of years. Panarin is a game breaker and franchise player like Pettersson. He dragged the jackets to the playoffs twice. -
[Signing] Panthers sign Sergei Bobrovsky
FireGillis replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Madness! Worst deal of the year by far! Never pay a goalie that much! -
[Signing] Blue Jackets sign Gustav Nyquist
FireGillis replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
They needed to spend all that Duchesne, panarin, Bob and dizingle money somewhere. -
[Signing] Jordie Benn signs with Canucks
FireGillis replied to CanucksCountry's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Good deal. I'm in favour of stop gap 2 years low $ deals for players like these. -
[Signing] Penguins sign Brandon Tanev
FireGillis replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
We already know senile Rutherford is an idiot though with that Jack Johnson contract. -
[Signing] Rangers sign Artemi Panarin
FireGillis replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Half and half cause it's sort of a play on all the people who always call guys good character guys for caring about winning over breaking the bank and leaving money on the table. It's a fact panarin left money on the table, so he's one of those good character guys! Leaf fans go around telling people about the virtues of Tavares's for taking less money. I've seen them attack marner and saying he should follow Tavares example of taking less money for the good of the team. -
[Signing] Rangers sign Artemi Panarin
FireGillis replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Very nice deal for panarin. 11.6 is less than the 12-13 Columbus was offering and I think the isles went 12. He left a decent chunk of money on the table. -
[Signing] Rangers sign Artemi Panarin
FireGillis replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Panarin left money on the table too. Shows he's not just about the money. Rangers rebuild looking good adding panarin, fox, trouba and Kakko. Of course they have the advantage of free agents wanting to go there. -
[Signing] Rangers sign Artemi Panarin
FireGillis replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Damn. Wanted him to go to the islanders cause &^@# the rangers for messier and 94! Panarin was the only free agent this summer worth blowing the bank for cause he's that good. Shame the canucks had no shot at him. -
[Signing] Tyler Myers to Vancouver
FireGillis replied to Rush17's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Glad it's only 5 years. Social media got it lowered from 7x7m! Myers got spooked and didn't want to get booed day 1! -
[Rumour] Canucks inquired about Sabres defenceman
FireGillis replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I'd love risto at the right price cause I like his offense. However, I can't get a read on his defense and if he's truly that horrific or is it the Buffalo factor. -
[Report] Rangers to offer Panarin 11.25M X 7 years
FireGillis replied to grandmaster's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Not many contenders can pay him his true worth and any team he goes to he makes them a lot better. Plus, you could say the same about anyone that signs with us. Jay Beagle just won a cup and signed with us because he didn't care about winning anymore and chased the money. If Myers signs with us, he doesn't care about winning leaving a good team like Winnipeg and is chasing the money. Both beagle and Myers could have stayed with their original playoffs teams if they took lower salaries. Therefore, if you hold that against panarin you also have to hold that against every free agent that signs with us. It's not something I hold against players. -
[Report] Rangers to offer Panarin 11.25M X 7 years
FireGillis replied to grandmaster's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
That's a fair price and what I expected him to go far. I'd love it if the canucks could get him for that, but he's not going to sign here. He's a game changer and really good. Would probably hit 100 points playing with Pettersson. I would take panarin over marner and I think Marner is worth 10-11m.
