The King of Kings

I just dont understand why JR/AV acquired him at first place. I remember JR said he wanted a "roster player" in return for the BO deal , but an overpriced middle 6 winger is the last thing the team needs.

Please do so while you can ...

He got me too .....

The whole Crow/AV era was such a fun ride! too bad I started following the team during the Rick Ley/Tom Renney days ...

on the other hand, the Canucks did not re-sign their RHDs Bear and Burroughs.

So I believe Allvin could have used the same approach for Boeser last year?

This is very frustrating. The OEL acquisition is Benning's fault, but for 2 years , they have extened Miller,Boeser,Kuzmenko and acquired Mikheyev and Hronik WITHOUT clearing significant cap space first! That's on Allvin.

It has to be the OEL trade because it happened in the salry cap era. for the Nealy trade, you may say the assets that the Canucks aquired were less valuable than what the Bruins got. for the OEL trade, the Canucks got NEGATIVE values from the acquisitions. Not only they got the assets that have a lot less value than expected, the cap hits of OEL and Garland prevent the management to acquire other pieces to improve the team.

When the Canucks keep being mediocre or below average(9th to 14th at the west), and when Vegas and COL both tank for rebuilding.

If the management made up their mind that they're not gonna "rebuild" (like it or not), then I am fine with the Hronek acquisition. And I believe that giving up a 1st round pick is pretty much a must I just dont like the fact that, they also attached a 2nd to the deal, instead of sending some contracts/cap relief to the Wings. When they traded Horvat, they eat back the Beau contract and retained 25% of Horvat. How come there's no money going back to the Wings for the Hronek deal? Why the management was ok for that deal when they knew they have huge cap problem?

Most NHL teams have cap problem, and JR/PA succeeded some bad contracts, so I dont really mind. The issue I have with the current management is that, they keep digging holes for themselves. They had all the chances to trade at least one of Miller/Boeser/Garland since last seanson's TDL, but they did nothing fo those big contracts. I believe there was a market for Myers too. Also, they were able to trade Bo, but why took back the Beuvillier contract? In comparison , they traded for Hronik without sending a contract away? And they re-signed Kuzmenko without a moving away one or two contracts first?

but does the Canucks holds the right og Kravstov? Even if the team doesnt want him, they can trade him for something

so if Kravstov decides to come back to the NHL two years later, the Canucks still have the right for the player?

Thr Myers' bnous won't be paid until September. But by the time between the June Entry draft to Free Agency to September, most teams would already planned on how to spend the cap or already used up most of the cap. There wont be too many teams having 6M cap space all of a sudden on Sept. Young rebuilding teams like Arizona wont pick up a 30-yr old Dmen unless you attach prospects/picks to the deal.

I believe someone from Houston would be interested. There is no guarantee that the next owner is a local Canadian invester.
