Oct 14th, & a lot sure has been happening. Yesterday picked up Nate Schmidt. Holtby, Motte, MacEwen & others signed. Let's guess we get AG & JV inked for about 4.5. Then assume MF winds up on LTIR. Fine in his day-to-day, but dizzy on-ice. Give the lad a gig as skills coach, down the line. Brave dude, that deserves respect. Take care of the guy, but advise him to hang'em up.(similar to stance with Manny M) Let's also assume one more sideways deal to dump a bit more cap(like Baer + a prospect) for a middlish pick. Q1- Would you be okay entering this season with the roster looking this way? - Personally I'd be fine. With the COVID circumstance, absolutely surprised we could land 2 gems of such quality. - Quite eager to see promoted(developed & drafted) youth(fwds & D), & how they'd fare with our mostly younger cast. - Would also like to see a smooth insertion with Big Nik, requiring the aforementioned, last cap-saving move. If possible, deal him into the shuffle ASAP - Hope LouiE is demoted to AHL if that gets underway. Fine if they buy him out next off-season. Lastly on buyouts, I'm glad to see JB has left this as a last, undesired resort. It drags into following yrs, also showing future(potential) signings the org grabs/drops assets without much reflection. Guess all would agree LE was given many an opp to turn his ship around. Q2- What's the biggest missing ingred to date? Pursue it now, or take our time, waiting for the perfect offer(ala Schmidt deal)?

Just joshin' around, L2..but yeah, hopeful some of these kids will surprise in a good way. It could be that JB has quickly revamped the blueline with his signature, stealthy fashion.

Is Sautner top of the heap?(hidden gem)

You CAN'T predict trade-outcomes at this juncture. As things stand, the inmates are running the asylum. -
[Rumour] Gallagher Extension talks at Impasse
Nuxfanabroad replied to Provost's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Just glancing at all teams', cap-list on CapFriendly, there are almost zero teams with the space for some of these left-over stars, who've yet to ca$h in. Appears a pretty lousy time to go UFA(now, or next off-season). The only teams with decent space left are all out east. Or(right now) maybe Nashville? Should this get acrimonious, I'd suggest BG for a Sissons pkg(due to his fine contract, & being out west) might be conceivable... -
Why has the conversation about prospects changed?
Nuxfanabroad replied to CallAfterLife's topic in Canucks Talk
Likely was a human-psychological aspect at play here. We often yearn for what is beyond reach, & seemingly unobtainable. By about 2014(for almost a decade) we'd drafted with our scouts, collectively, tragically, displaying the IQ of an ostrich. Enter the man who might sound dopey like an ostrich, but performs the drafting prowess on par with the good karma results of Forrest Gump. Q- How could any of us have trusted this seemingly earnest, yet jarringly awkward speaker, to suddenly start drafting like BillFrEEKIN'Torrey?! & not only that, but have the wisdom to allow this treasured fruit to ripen on the branch? *************************** Now here we sit, with a rebuilt squad, including young superstars. Dominant players at all key positions, obtained with NO Lotto, built-in Bettman-scam benefits. AND there's more fine stock in the shelves, that were(in 2014) of course, once barren. All this..yet some folks STILL wanna' pick with nits?!?!!!! -

(Discussion) Lopsided Deals from Covid-Times
Nuxfanabroad replied to Nuxfanabroad's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
Truth stranger than fiction?! Imagine if someone had posted this bright idea a few days back? Hey, let's dangle a 2022 3rd for Nate FreekenSchmidtEH?! I know of one or two regular posters who would've ambled by with their ever-present, bucket o'water! :^) Valuations are everywhere, & it just depends how cap-hooped any GM seems to be. So nice to WIN one of these again... -
Haven't been stressin' at all since this FA season kicked off. I knew JB would sort it out. Don't know why?..I guess as others have suggested, he's getting better at the gig as he goes along. This deal today makes up for the (unfortunately) short, Toffoli-stay. It'll be interesting next season to compare the performance of NS & OEL...

Hope Tree returns, & we dump Myers at ED(Hell, add a 2nd for the pleasure)!
