He could still carve out a nice career, we came to love a guy very similar to Foote in Luke Schenn. Former high pick, traded away then ended up in the AHL then re invented his game and is still contributing well in a depth role into his mid 30s now. So, maybe Cal Foote can turn it around with his dad as coach and Gonchar around part time similarily to how Schenn was about to turn his career from looking over to going on to win 2 Stanley Cups and be a great depth D for any NHL club to have

[Report/Rumour] Ethan Bear Contract Talks
86Viking replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I would do something along these lines: Not quailify Bear, but re sign him to a 2yr 3m deal 1.5m cap hit. We get him for a 2nd year at a fairly low cap hit and could play with Hughes or be the guy leading the 3rd pairing. If Bear does not come back well from the injury he can be mostly buried in the AHL at worst if we cant trade him or a team does not claim him on waivers if it came to that. I would rather try keep Bear for a short 2 yr deal rather than go sign Dumba for example who will cost more both in term and cap hit. -
Maybe Boston is gonna send Hall and Reilly to Chicago along with Lysell and something else for futures so Boston can extend Bertuzzi. Boston may also look to move Ullmark to say LA to clear another 5m. Maybe get Bergeron and Krejci to sign similar deals with future cap implications to have a lower cap hit for next year?

[Rumour] Canucks interested in Carson Soucy
86Viking replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Dermott wont be qualified and will become a UFA, Poolman has been a ghost I doubt he is ready come training camp -
Vancouver sends to Winnipeg: Garland 4.95m Rathbone ELC for Niederreiter 4m L. Stanley RFA Canucks could then trade Niederieter at the TDL for a pick or maybe if he gels well we retain him and move Beauvillier?
-
True but Drouin is gone and Hoffman is up at the end of the year and could be moved if they traded for Beau or when he gets dealt at the TDL. Does Montreal have many French Canadians on their NHL roster??? I know the GM and President are NOT French so that likely wouldn't be a thing for them but might go over well for the fans and maybe Beau would extend with them for a fair contract?
-
As the title says.... Canucks trade Beauvillier and Rathbone to Montreal for Edmundson. Pair Edmundson with Hronek if they mesh they both get new contracts to stay together. Allows the Canucks to use more of this cap space to sign a RHD to play with Hughes like a Scott Mayfield/Dumba/Gudas/Schenn OR more $ for a true #3C NOT Barbashev!

[Rumour] Canucks interested in Carson Soucy
86Viking replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Mayfield was underpaid for a long time and will want to try and cash in on a long term deal. I am curious if he is wanting something similar to what Colorado gave Josh Manson to extend 4 yr at 4.5m with a NTC I would love to see us somehow get Mayfiled and Soucey for the D. Then trade Beauvillier for a draft pick or prospect(C/RHD) to free just over another 4m so we can get a #3C. Compher likely gets overpaid and he is a right shot C. Maybe Alvin goes to an ex Penguin and signs Blueger and tries him and runs a 3a line with Blueger and 3b with Aman. Equal playing minutes for both C with PK time. Then we could ice: Mikheyev Pettersson Kuzmenko Hoglander Miller Boeser Podkolzin Blueger Garland Di Gusieppe/Pearson Aman Joshua Hughes Mayfield Soucey Hronek Wolanin Juulsen/Johansson/Burroughs/Bear(mid season return/if signed to new contract) Rathbone- traded at draft or claimed off waivers in fall Demko Martin/Delia Silovs AHL #1G -

This makes sense and if they think Ty Smith is ready for NHL minutes they may move him for Boeser/Beauvillier/Garland/Miller/Myers/anyone almost -
[Rumour] Canucks interested in Carson Soucy
86Viking replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
That would be nice, but with a weak FA class to begin with I expect teams fighting over players as per usual and overpaying with term, $$$$ and trade protection etc -
For those that follow prospects closely, what are the thoughts on Brayden Yager? 6ft right shot Center from Moose Jaw Warriors of the WHL

[Rumour] Canucks interested in Carson Soucy
86Viking replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Soucy will come cheaper in term and cap hit compared to Graves, so I rather go with the cheaper option as long as the term and cap hit are reasonable. We could go the trade route to get a D also, maybe someone like Edmundson out of Montreal in a deal around Beauvillier?? -
[Buyout] Zack Kassian, Patrik Nemeth
86Viking replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Kassian for a cheap 4th line gritty winger to play under tocchet?!? It had to be said......... -

Good target depending on term and price of course. Will be cheaper to sign than Graves -
My only issue with signing Barbashev is he is ppor at faceoffs, not a recipe for success imo. If we didn't go get Mikheyev last year I would be happy to try get Barbashev, think he is a better all around player and fit for our team over Mikheyev...but we have him already so adding another long term winger is a poor use of the new cap space imo. I think Graves might be overpaid, I am curious about Carson Soucy...played in Seatlle, I don't know how much or well he played but he has size and is a pain to play against...could he be a nice guy to pair with Hronek on the 2nd pairing?? Would think he would cost less $ and term wise vs Graves

[Proposal] Would You Do This 3-Way?
86Viking replied to HKSR's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
Hard to say but do we really think Rathbone is a legit regular NHL D man?? He has had 3 NHL coaches who have been very reluctant to use him, I was hoping Rathbone could make it in the NHL, even as a Yannick Weber type because he possessive a good point shot that could help a 2nd PP unit. As for Hirose, great story but such a small sample size hard to cement him into the top 6 long term so far...he was promising so fingers crossed! Don't see the trade for Byram happening, could see them try to move Girard to try and free up some cap to get a more long term #2C all while keeping Byram. Also, Toews is a UFA soon, is Colorado paying Toews into his late 30s at a high cap hit? Would be wiser to lock Byram up long term and move out Toews if he wants too much as his new deal may not age well. Great player at his current cap hit -
[Discussion] The value of Noah Hanifin and Brett Pesch
86Viking replied to Coconuts's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
What kind of contract do you think Soucy would be after as a pending UFA? I wouldn't mind him depending on the term and cap hit, any idea if he is used in a PK role?
