It's just too much, need a better way to show it. The bars tend to blend in with each other too, which makes it harder to see how many games. It's just a bad illustration imo. They probably shoulda used some more variety in colours. Some are way too similar. It looks like it shows that Brock is a #1 center near the end of the season. I'm pretty sure that didn't happen.

Oooohhhh So many colours!! So pretty!! Unfortunately I have no clue what the hell the colours are nor do I want to know!

Ya because on paper it's actually $6 mill for a $3 mill cost.

I was thinking that maybe a team like Ottawa is waiting for LE to be put on waivers and then claim him. They wouldn't have to part with any assets at all then. Maybe the Canucks' have already reached out to all teams stating that they will be putting LE on waivers ASAP. I know it's wishful thinking, but I hope that's how it plays out. That way the Canucks' don't give up any assets, and neither does the other team picking him up. Just a thought (and wishful thinking).

Am I bad at math cause I swear adding all the oz starts its 200%. Can this realistically happen? LoL!

TML better hope that nobody gets hurt because they're not gonna be able to ice a hockey team if none of those players go on LTIR.

I don't disagree that Miller is a top 6, but he was traded for. Not a FA, so the Canucks' never promised to put him on the top 6. Plus he's been used in this role with TB as a good 2-way player. He will get top 6 minutes playing on the checking line, while also providing way more offense to that line. I just think the roster I posted will be the lineup on opening night. For the rest of the season, who knows.

Hahahah whoops I should change that ...

I think the lines will be Ferlund - Pettersson - Boeser Baertschi - Horvat - Pearson Miller - Sutter - Leivo Motte - Beagle - Virtanen Edler - Myers Hughes - Tanev Benn - Stecher Markstrom Demko

This isn't how contracts work now. RFAs are getting paid now. I suggested awhile back that everybody should have a set contract and then add bonuses based on production. The NHLPA will NEVER let that happen. But it sure as hell will get rid of agents since they won't be needed lol. Management has to do these contracts based on future production. It's just the way things work, or else you will get players who will hold out a la NYLANDER, or offer sheeted (Brock is excluded). I'm sure every team in the NHL would sign him for more than what you're suggesting. You should think logically about contracts instead of what you want, because that's not how the NHL works anymore. No NHL team is gonna base his contract on what he's done now. It'll all be based on what they think he will produce in the future.

We needed health. Not a #1 dman.

Timo also played on a far superior team. I'm sure Brock would've gotten that 10 points if he were playing on the sharks. If we do what you suggest and sign him to a 1 year show me deal, and Brock ends up scoring 40 goals/80 pts. He'll then want even more money. Do you want to risk that? And really screw up any future cap structure? You structure a deal just like you did with Bo Horvat. Overpay in the early years, and by the end of the contract, it is a good cap hit. I would be happy if BB signs for 6 mill x 4 years, like Timo Meier, just pay it straight out instead of the 10 mill back end deal. I would be even more impressed if they can get a max term deal say 8 mill x 8 years.

I never read anything when he was on CanucksArmy, but I did read his articles when they were on NHL.com, and listened to him when on SN 650. He is very insightful and a good read. Good hire Canucks.

We need the - button back!!!

I like the concept, but it wouldn't work. Hockey is a team sport. If those stipulations were put in, a lot of players would just play for themselves trying to get points. You'd have to put in a lot of different stipulations in too, it wouldn't be just the points. It'll be TOI, PP Time, SH Time, linemates, etc. etc. Opening up a big can of worms. Plus you have to put in clauses for injuries too. These contracts you want would be like the NFL, and as far as I know, the NFLPA is the worst out of all of the major sports.

You think restaurants and bars are packed with canuck fans for playoffs or for a draft lottery? There answers your question.

I'm more of 1. Win Stanley Cup 2. Win Western Conference Final Playoffs 3. Win Division Final Playoffs 4. Win First Round Playoffs 5. Make Playoffs. 6. Win 1st Overall In Draft. 7. Win 2nd Overall In Draft. 8. Win 3rd Overall In Draft. I will always want to be a winner than a loser. Bottoming out and winning the lottery doesn't always make you win a cup. 2007 (Chicago) is the last team who had drafted a 1st overall on their team and won the Stanley cup. That's 12 freaking seasons. Not good odds if you ask me.

I think Winnipeg is taking a real big step backwards. I think the Canucks might be able to pass them.

Hmm .... what do ya'll think about Ryan Murphy out of NJ?

Probably won't come out till after 2 pm tomorrow. I think that's the deadline.

How is Gaudette not on the positive side?? I'm sure he's 1 WAR.

A ok, thanks. I remember hearing Myers and thought it was Tyler. He's still Canadian though. Just born in America.

Tyler Paul Myers is an American-born Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman currently playing for the Winnipeg Jets of the National Hockey League. He was drafted by the Sabres in the first round, 12th overall, in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft. Wikipedia

Isn't he Canadian?? I'm sure he played for Team Canada this WHC.
