  1. All Canucks games will be live streamed on the Canucks YouTube channel.
  2. Eagles looked rought, but Jalen Carter looked good. I don't take too much stock into week one, but the Giants getting sloshed sets the tone for the Cowboys and Giants. Quick turnaround to play the Vikings who must be upset about their loss.
  3. I always though Hasek, especially since what he did with Buffalo was like what Luongo was doing in Vancouver in 06-07. However, he also had lots of sub 20 save performances with the Red Wings. Dryden is a great choice for his stretch, and Roy was another choice. For whatever reason, I've never seen Brodeur as the best, but it probably has to do with having the perfect system and strong defense around him.
  4. Yes, ever since I was a fan in the early 2000s, Canada always had a great selection of goalies. Price was a good one, but now we struggle to have a true number 1 whereas we used to have 2 or 3 #1s to choose from before.
  5. Mogilny (on IR until playoffs)-Linden-Bure Hamhuis- Bieksa McLean
  6. I think he was responding to the TOI and level of competition. I wonder if he could be like a Max Lapierre and move up and down the line-up and PK as well.
  7. I read this article about what the trade tiers should be for our players. It got me thinking what everyone else would think or how you think the team values the players. My list in the spoiler:
  8. Bertuzzi also did very well with the Bruins in the playoffs, so I think they're looking at playoff performers. Nylander could get traded for a dman and/or picks to balance their defense.
  9. That's how I felt about Seattle beating Colorado! Healthy Makar alone and Colorado wins that series.
  10. I think this would have been his comeback year since he wasn't coming off an injury and had the full summer to train! I think this will be great value
  11. I would have been happy with Moore or Benson as well, but I like this pick.
  12. I wanted Reinbacher, but that must have been a wet dream lol.
  13. Calgary can Kickstart a great rebuild if they go full sell.

      sounds like a great plan tolinger at the bottom of the league for a decade or so

      Lindholm, Backlund, Toffoli, Tanev, Zadorov, Hanifin.  They should be able to get several picks and prospects for these players while opening up $27 million in cap space.  So they can get the future assets and then pay to get some UFA's, so they can take on bad contracts to get more picks and prospects.  

  14. This is great for Calgary, as they can fire sell some really good assets and rebuild. That Huberdeau contract isn't even bad if they are rebuilding. Calgary can sell players from every position and get 1st rounders, 2nd rounders, prospects, etc... At least that's what I would, just like Winnipeg (but winnipeg doesn't have as much unless they trade Pionk and Conner).
  15. I'd go cheaper, but it depends how much you save versus the value of the player.
  16. We actually bought out OEL :o

  17. That's a huge part of Cup runs. Florida had a crazy route to get there, but Vegas was pretty easy since the West sucks and they didn't have to play a healthy Avs. The 2012 Kings had an easy run too, beating a Canucks team without Daniel, then a Fluke Blues team, then the Coyotes where Smith was their star player, and finally New Jersey in the Finals. Part of the luck is who you play; Vancouver likely beats Philadelphia or New Jersey in the Cup Finals, but were off a year for both and got Boston.
  18. Vegas has smooth skating d-men 6'1 and above, and I think that's the best way to go (best of both worlds).

      Having the refs in your back pocket never hurts either.

      This is why CBJ is loading up with similar size and skill D in the last few weeks

      heh, Ben Hutton is 6' 3" & 200+ pounds (according to hockeydb.com).  Why the **** can't Gillis draft defenseman?

  19. With Helly going on the move, I think the Jets will do a rebuild rather than fight the progression and stay mediocre.
  20. Ehrhoff has a nice slapper, but it was his ability to skate and make good pinches (followed by a wrist shot) that worked well for him. I'd like to see Hughes skate closer and wrist it rather than just flub muffins to the net.
  21. Pass on him unless he's cheap for the bottom pairing. He isn't consistent and not as solid as he should be for a "stay at home", so that's why he hasn't been given opportunities.
  22. I don't particularly like any of the 3, but Beau come playoff time gives me the most hope. I'd be fine with all 3 gone though.
  23. Yeah, they could try to load up this off-season. Disappointing way to end a promising play-off run.
