[Report] Sharks claim Jonah Gadjovich off waivers
DeltaSwede replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
2-way contracts don't have anything to do with waiver eligibility. This isn't NHL 21. Besides, Gadj has a 2-way. -
[Report] Mailloux suspended indefinitely by OHL
DeltaSwede replied to qwijibo's topic in General Hockey Discussion
Not gonna get into an argument with you over this but strangling a puppy is objectively worse in your opinion than what he did to that girl? He has likely ruined a womens life. Deserves every thing coming to him. -
In my mind this would make Montreal the winners of this transaction. If they end up getting Dvorak with the compensation they get from Carolina they have upgraded at that position. I don't think Kotkaniemi will surpass the level of Dvorak. Carolina 1st and Ryan Poehling for Christian Dvorak. Wonder if that would seal the deal or if Montreal would have to add. Dvorak signed to the deal Kotkaniemi probably gets next summer and Dvorak is a great fit for the Habs.

Which team improved the most this off-season?
DeltaSwede replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in General Hockey Discussion
Canucks, Philly and Chicago. Don't believe LA did enough to warrant a nomination. Philly probably improved the most. -
2022-23 salary cap, Boeser and value of our 2nd line player?
DeltaSwede replied to grouse747's topic in Canucks Talk
Myers has to go. Can't be paying a guy 6 million to not play in the top 4. Also much rather the team rid themselves of him over JT. Would clear up room for Bo and JT down the line. -
NHL owners approve jersey ads for 2022-23 season

I am used to this so I don't really care. It was inevitable. -

[Signing] Canucks re-sign Jason Dickinson
DeltaSwede replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Plenty of room for both Petey and Quinn. I like the term and the cap hit. Well done. -
[Signing] Devils sign Tomas Tatar
DeltaSwede replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Tatar has been scratched in the playoffs by his last two coaches on his last two teams. I think there are a lot of question marks yet for the Devils. -
How to finish Canucks offseason
DeltaSwede replied to Scottydzik's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
Schmidt plays the right side and is better than all three of Edmundsson, Chiarot and Romanov. It does make sense and the rumors are out there for a reason. I would take Montreals 3rd 21 and 2nd 22. I think both teams would be happy with that. Schmidt is a great fit in Montreal. -
The value of that 9th pick, at least from a Canucks perspective, just went way down. Loving this deal. I am so stoked. This off-season so far has been very good. Love Dickinson. Love Garland. Hoping OEL has some sort of resurgence as well and gut feeling says he will. Dickinson and Garland are two really hard-nosed, push-back type of players. Lot's of hyphons for Ekman-Larsson

Jarmo is really kicking a** today. Great trade. The return on Jones and avoiding that HUGE contract was another win. He got 3 first rounders and a 2nd round pick. As of now, the 22 1st has no condition. You know it's gonna be a lottery pick. Edit: Counting Boqvist as a 1st rounder. I mean Bean was a 1st rounder as well right? Jarmo and Jim winning the day so far!

[Signing] Blackhawks re-sign Seth Jones
DeltaSwede replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Been hearing a lot of people saying that whoever signs Seth Jones to a huge contract will live to regret it. I like the player though. -
In my mind I am hoping JB and the rest have a similar mindset as I do towards this next year. Fix some of the things you are able to now and be patient. We have a lot of cap coming off after next season so I don't really think it makes sense to get rid off Schmidt already. Unless he actually wants out. It just makes sense trading him later on if they feel he isn't a long-term solution. I am hoping the Dickinson trade is an indication of the type of moves the Canucks are willing to make this off-season. Smart, cheap moves. Wait the cap issues out and we are going to be set-up to make some. Moving Hughes over to the right side is something that I don't think is talked about enough. He, like Schmidt, can play the right side.

What I would do is field a half-competitive team next year. Sign Hamonic to a two year deal if it's less than 2 mil. Keep the players that make sense at their cap-hit and term. Wait out this season and the bad deals to come to an end. Do not commit to long-term deals unless they are below market value or core pieces that are releveant in the next 4 years. Watch the team progress next season and watch your young players develop. Make new evaluations after next season. Have a bunch of cap-space in next years off-season and the flexibility to build a competitive team for the next 5 years after this season. Basically have the mindset of next year being a progression year for our young players and focus entirely on the long-term. Don't do much of anything at all this off-season. Basically sit still and watch the dominos fall where they fall. Abuse situations that make sense. Be savy. I'm not.. drunk.. at all. But yea, just remain calm and look ahead.

[Rumour] Devils interested in Rasmus Ristolainen
DeltaSwede replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
This off-season is shaping up to be very interesting. I think we all need it as well. Being cooped up inside for so long has got me hungry for some action. I wonder what a deal would look like. I know there has been some talk about Severson being available from New Jersey.
