    The hilarity that would have ensued would have been great for TV.

     

    MAF beats down JB - hilarious

     

    JB beats down MAF - emboldens JB even more.

     

    The fact that Berube is annoyed makes the whole thing even funnier

    100% agreed with you folk. Imagine he got beat down / KO'ed by MAF. AND GOT FINED the next day. LOL

    ..and he didn't improve up to his injury.

    A potential buyout looks to be a rather whopping 8m in savings next year, then 5.6 the following, and 2.8 the two years after that. Then his contract ends. Yet we'd pay 2.4 for the following 4 years... which kind of sucks, but with the cap inevitably going up, it will be a bit more palatable at that time. And besides that, by then, hopefully we draft well and replenish the cupboards to bring quality players up with ELCs so we aren't in such a crunch by 27-28.

    With ownership/management wanting to try to be a playoff team sooner than later, it stands to reason they MUST be considering a buyout in light of OEL's dramatic regression.
     

    Plus what will make up for Luongo's cap recapture dead cap space? OEL's dead cap will keep us company for more years to come.

    I would be concerned that the group wouldn't be able to play much D as they are mostly puck moving guys in your proposal.  I would want to see some size and D with my D group.  Similar to what I shared in another thread I would love to see:

     

    Trade Boeser and Rathbone for Rasmus Ristolainen (Transformed more into a 2 way D from a liability offensive D under a similar coach to ours)

    Trade Myers for something or even FCs once his bonus is payed out

    Sign Tryamkin and Livingstone

     

    Hughes Hronek

    OEL (6'2) Ristolainen (6'4)

    Tryamkin (6'8)  Livingstone (6'3)

     

    Brisebois Bear as extras

     

    Gives us a bottom four with some size without compromising speed and a top pair of more offensive guys that can apply the pressure as needed.

    But what are their wingspans?

    Canucks Fans "We need to improve the D! Our D sucks! When are they going to address the blueline! "

     

    Same fans once they finally address it:

     

    "What are they doing!? Why make this trade! Don't give away picks!'

     

    There really is no winning man lol smh

    Not sure if Hronek really improves the D. He plays D but my initial reaction is he improves the O.

    It would absolutely be Vancouver luck to trade yet another top 10 pick next year if it slides, and get another defenseman from Sweden that doesn't live up to expectations.

     

    Even more so that he will be negotiating a new contract after a career year knowing that Vancouver is in desperate need of a player in his position.

     

    It's like Ehrhoff again without the pedigree

    He's Czech
