As I said. It’s more of a team stat. If you’re on the worst team in the league, odds are your +\- will reflect that. Shall we discuss the season Edler had a league worst -39? Does that mean he was the worst player in the league that year? It’s a flawed stat. Taken on its own without a boatload of context it’s useless

Tanev, when healthy, is a top notch defender. Problem is Vancouver hasn’t been able to rely on him staying healthy. Paired with a PMD he’s a valuable piece, but he’s logged a lot of hard years for a 30 year old. I’m ok with letting him walk. I’m not sure that Tryamkin is the answer, but time will tell on that front.

Great story. Except he’s missed chunks of games in all three seasons hasn’t he. 62 games, 69 games, 57/69 games “Canucks’ Brock Boeser ready to salvage injury-ridden season if NHL resumes” “This is also the third straight season in which the 2015 first-round pick has missed significant time due to injury: 12 games with a rib-cartilage fracture Boeser suffered Feb. 10.” Take your outrage elsewhere. Also, This is a Tryamkin thread. We’ve veered way off topic.

I do. Quite a bit. But he has holes in his game, injury issues, and he struggled quite a bit this season. He had a great rookie season but has regressed a little. Likely because of the injuries. Also, his skating is a bit of an issue. Montreal has bigger needs than a scoring winger. Trading one of the leagues most promising prospects and a top 10 pick for him is robbing Peter to pay back Paul. It would be repeating the mistake of the Sergachev/Drouin trade
-
Montreal doesn’t make that trade. Their top need right now is a top 4 LHD. Romanov is their second best prospect (and one of the top prospects in the league). from the sounds of things he is NHL ready. Beyond that they have one of the top rated goalie prospects right now in Primeau. Boeser would be a nice get for Montreal, but not at the cost of their best D prospect and a top 10 pick

It’s far more of a team stat. It’s useless on its own. Thomas Chabot is a career (-) player and was -18 this season but he’s widely regarded as one of the best young D in the game. Stetcher is likely a cap casualty cast off bottom 4 D but was a +10 this year. Based purely on +\- with no other context which player would you rather have? if you think +\- is an useful stat in evaluating a player you have to take Stetcher. Personally I take Chabot
-
You are suggesting that a young top 2-3 40 point D is worth significantly less than an injury prone scoring winger. A winger who, by the way, struggled to put the puck in the net this season. It’s just not a reasonable evaluation. Top scoring D are much harder to find than scoring wingers. Therefore they’re more valuable. all that said I think a 1/1 trade is reasonable. A trade where NJ gives the equivalent of 2 additional 1st round picks is far from reasonable. with regards to your argument using +\- . There’s a reason it’s made fun of. You need a ton of context for it to give even a blurry snap shot of the player’s play.
-
+\-? Seriously? You’re justifying the incredibly lopsided trade suggestion with +\-? Lol.
-
I honestly don’t see how it applies to my argument that Boeser is not worth Severson plus a D+1 player picked in the 1st round + 1st. I’d think a 1 for 1 deal is far close to being fair
-
What does that have to do with my comment?
-
You can’t just extrapolate a conclusion on what kind of starter Demko will be based on what Schneider did. They are two different people, two different players. Playing on different teams. Demko MAY end up as a good starter. Or he may end up as a career back up. Too early to tell. He looked ok last season. Just ok.
-
Stetcher adds minimal value, Boeser is , by in large, under rated. In what world does a guy who put up 29 goals once, and has had a myriad of injuries return a 25 year old 40 point D, a player picked in the 1st round last year and an additional 1st? C’mon man. A 1/1 trade maybe. But asking for an extra 2 1sts? You’re dreaming i

Games In Empty Arena's, Would You Buy Pay per View?

Sadly they’re coming. Although I doubt they’ll ever get to the extreme that you see in Europe. -
Games In Empty Arena's, Would You Buy Pay per View?
qwijibo replied to Lazurus's topic in Canucks Talk
You realize that in those days there was next to no tv coverage right? Ad revenue is the reason the networks pay for the rights to broadcast. You can go back to only being able to listen to local broadcasts and seeing maybe 20 games a year broadcast. I’m fine with how things are now. That said. Companies have already paid for the broadcast rights and consumers have already paid for various sports packages. There’s no blood to get from this stone in the way of PPV -
Thr League recognized the wording of the CBA was insufficient and left room for teams to exploit it. They explicitly warned teams not to violate the spirit of the salary cap. That said the contracts in question were technically legal so they had to be approved. The GM’s responsible knew there would be consequences but chose to structure the contracts to circumvent the cap. Vancouver manufactured close to an extra $2m of cap space a year to use when the salary cap was in the low $50m range. That’s significant. Would they have gone on the cup run in 2011 if they didn’t have that extra money to spend? We’ll never know.

“One available player must be a goalie who is under contract in 2021-22 or who is a restricted free agent having received a qualifying offer from his team”
-
The recapture penalty is just that. It’s based on how much of a cap advantage a team got in the early years of the contract. The formula is the cap benefit divided by the remaining contract years. NJ’s recapture wasn’t much because Kovalchuk only played a few years under his contract and had a number of years left. Same goes with LA and Richards. It was early in his contract when he was arrested and had the contract voided due to material breach. LA had limited cap benefit because of the small number of years played under the contract. That benefit was divided by the remaining 5 contract years. LA also has his buyout on the books until 2031. The buyout part was set by an independent arbitrator. The two amounts are totally separate
-
Not true. LA has a penalty for Richards NJ has had a penalty for Kovalchuk for years now Florida has a penalty for Luongo too
-
This has been discussed ad. nauseam. Teams were warned not to try to circumvent the cap. They were warned there would be repercussions. Gillis and a handful of other GM’s decided to risk it to make a cup run. It almost worked but the team fell short. Time to move on
-
Yeah. There’s no statement here. Just speculation and a bet. Dhaliwal was sure Tryamkin would be signed. He’s less sure now (likely because the delay in signing a 1 year low dollar contract doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense

How will the NHL treat conditional trades in the 2020 draft
qwijibo replied to Ray_Cathode's topic in Canucks Talk
To be clear. You’re fine with NJ being punished by having to wait potentially 2 more years for the pick they traded for. You just don’t want Covid to affect Vancouver. As I said above, the fair compromise is to give Vancouver the choice of whether they want to give this years or next years pick. That takes the playoff condition out of the picture and doesn’t punish NJ -
How will the NHL treat conditional trades in the 2020 draft
qwijibo replied to Ray_Cathode's topic in Canucks Talk
So why should NJ have to potentially wait another 2 years for Vancouver to satisfy the condition? If that’s the case they should receive extra compensation. If the desk was reversed you know damn well Vancouver fans would be incensed by the suggestion of pushing back the draft pick they’re owed by an extra year. the most fair compromise in this situation is to give Vancouver the right to choose whether or not they surrender their 1st this year or give an unprotected 1st next year. The original conditions didn’t give Vancouver a choice. Since covid-19 has messed with the season giving the team the choice seems the logical option -
It was speculation and opinion based on the situation and what they know or suspect. Tough to term that as lies.
-
And they have a recapture penalty on the books for Kovalchuk. The only reason it’s not bigger is that he only played a couple seasons under that contract so the cap benefit they got was limited and the penalty was spread over more than 10 years
