  1. Myers makes mistakes that I wouldn’t wanna see a player making on a 1 million dollar contract let alone a 6 million dollar one. It’s not about the money anymore for me it’s about the player. He just doesn’t have the hockey IQ to be a regular top 6 anymore.
  2. Wouldn’t have minded this as a plan C. Wouldnt have been happy giving up a prospect like Woo though.
  3. I hope this isn’t the case all season. Seems to me he would have played a big role for Djurgarden. Still good to develop chemistry with Pettersson, and hopefully Carlsson comes back and they can ply together.

    Captaincy

    When all the the team does is lose and you have to be the one to step in front of the camera and answer the same bonehead questions every night it takes it’s toll. We saw it happen to Naslund and we saw it happen to Bo. It takes a certain personality to be able to do that night after night. Miller is not that personality.
  5. I think most people in that market assumed this would be his last push. His body just can’t hold up anymore. They rely on him way too much.

    Captaincy

    It will be Hughes. Tocchett said he’s evolved as a leader more than anyone. Petey would be another Naslund. We don’t need the captaincy weighing him down. Miller is too emotional and not what you want out of your captain.
  7. It’s all about pairings. We can’t load up too much on one line which is why I think we’ll see: Kuzmenko Pettersson Beauvillier Garland Miller Boeser Podkolzin Suter Mikheyev Joshua Blueger Hoglander Hughes Hronek Cole Soucy Brisebois Myers
  8. I don’t see it being about space and more about a roster spot because I can’t see Bear commanding more than 1 mil right now. I think ideally they wanna move Myers and have Bear slot in his spot. Then add another top 4 D man. Hughes Trade Cole Hronek Soucy Bear Or if they can’t land a top 4 then someone like Peeke. Hughes Bear Cole Hronek Soucy Peeke
  9. Wouldn’t be surprised to see a trade still. Rumour has it the Canucks were working the phones pretty hard at one point. Doubt that has stopped.
  10. My guess is they planned to release the info until the players lawyers got involved.
  11. OELs cap hit is actually fine the next couple of years, it’s 3 years from now that it’s bad. But with the cap going up, contracts coming off the books, and young ELCs ready to step in (hopefully) it shouldn’t be too bad with proper planning.
  12. Garland is the guy that cleans up the garbage on a goal. Which is why he needs a bull like Podkolzin or Miller to take the puck to the net. If we’re relying on him to be the driver of a line we’re in trouble.
  13. Exactly. Seattle is the perfect example. Not tough at all but they were hard to play against.
  14. Toughness was not the reason we didn’t make the playoffs. Individually tough players is overrated anyways. It’s about team toughness. That comes from players buying in and playing hard. That’s up to Tocchett and co to get that buy in.
  15. I mean they added 6 new players since the trade deadline last season so they must have created some cap flexibility no? They traded a mid first round pick and a second, maybe they don’t consider those high picks?
  16. Podkolzin will 100% be on the team. Where in the top 12 depends on his training camp.
  17. Podkolzin? Looks good but too small. Need more size somewhere in there.
  18. I highly doubt we’re able to trade both. I think Myers is most likely traded after his signing bonus.
  19. Or maybe he was never as close to returning as his agent was saying.
  20. Between Poolman and Pearson? I think there is. Blueger just won a cup. The hype around him was a lot stronger.
  21. Still think we need another top 4 if they’re serious about being a playoff team.
  22. A trade is either coming or they’re certain Pearson won’t be returning any time soon.
  23. Hirose he played 7 NHL game. Too early to project his potential. Woo still has time to develop into a regular top 6.
