[[Signing] Canucks sign Aidan McDonough to two year contract]

McDonough and raty as the top 2 centers in Abby next year is a decent start for depth in the organization  

 

keep in mind he was a 7th round pick. it’s a win he’s even gonna play a game in the NHL, he’s already in the top 5% of all 7th round pick of all time 

[[Signing] Canucks sign Aidan McDonough to two year contract]

McDonough will play a couple games for the Canucks and burn the 1st year off that deal 

 

so it’s essentially a 1 full year contract

I don't think Poolman is gonna play again.  LTIR for the rest of his contract.

I am genuinely curious. Is Poolman like, done-done as a player? Cause Arizona took Weber's contract which is longer and all it cost was a 5th rounder. I'd do a 4th just to remove Poolboy. Although, ideally I'd rather it be closer to that 5th rounder price it cost to remove Weber's contract.

I mean he skated last week with the extras…a guy who is done-done wouldn’t be skating 

[[Report/Rumour] Ethan Bear Contract Talks]

I like bear but don’t love him

 

If bear wants to squeeze us for more money after essentially saving his career….take a hike bud

 

now what complicates it is poolman holding 2.5m on the cap hostage as a RHD 3rd pair guy 

[[PGT] Toronto Maple Leafs at Vancouver Canucks | Mar. 04, 2023]

His play in the last month or so has elevated him to true No.1 D status 

[Devil's Advocate for the Hronek trade]

Trading those picks won’t look so bad if they bring a couple college free agents to add to the prospect pipeline

 

the Canucks made the trade NOW because the value of that pick is a mystery right now which is attractive but it’s likely to be 18-22 in this years draft and if that pick is confirmed at 19 let’s say that value won’t net you Hronek and you’ll have other teams bidding to increase the price 

[Retention vs Buyout (Discussion)]

Absolutely no to either…I’m NOT looking at OEL on our cap till I'm 38 

 

Id rather make a hockey trade money in/money out 

 

 

 

 

[Exciting years going forward]

I might be made a fool but this “retool” feels a little different…? 
 

like when benning “retooled” in 2014 he had a very different team to retool in terms of age, prospect pool, etc…and that was just super dumb and 7 years later we have very little to show for it

 

retooling around what we have “could” work IF they continue add prospects/picks where they can, no 30 year old big UFA signings and no dead money on the cap

7 min mark Friedman talks Miller/pitt trade was insanely difficult and they might revisit it in the summer

How did they shed cap space for next year???

 

Add Beau + Hronek + Kratsov + Raty

 

Gone Bo + Lazar + Stillman + Schenn

 

Are they counting on Pearson being on LTIR until his contract runs out??

Them shedding that salary allowed them to add 

 

it wasn’t like the just added on top of what they already had without subtracting 

 

there is an entire off season to be had still and Myers will certainly be dealt so that alone will free up some cash

But we added Hronek. IIRC, we're currently over the cap right now for next year.

And the Canucks have 6 months to continue to alter the team 

 

they weren’t gonna fix all their problems today

What cap space did they shed for next year?

Lazar and stillman 

 

ultimately Dickinson and lazar and brought in a decent prospect 

[[PGT] Trade Day Edition]

Why do you fans whine and complain all the time? 
 

I grade the Canucks TD as a B 
 

shed cap space for next year - check

 

bring in some picks - check 

 

improve the blueline for next year - check 

 

traded all valued UFA’s - check 

 

grease a team as a broker for a young player - check 

the better time to deal boeser, garland or Miller is at the draft

[(Rumour) 4 teams interested in J.T. Miller]

If the Canucks did actually turned down a Miller trade….keep in mind try selling that, if they actually traded Miller, to pettersson and hughes…

 

if you trade Miller, you might as well deal pettersson and hughes cause they have both said they have NO interest in more losing 

 

think of the bigger picture people…it isn’t as simple as no we don’t “want” to trade Miller

[[Trade] Blue Jackets trade Jakub Voracek, 2023 6th-round pick to Coyotes for Jon Gillies]

I’d pay that price to unload Myers probably even more 

 

I think Voracek is owed more cash money than Myers so maybe that 5m signing isn’t that immovable as we thought
