Great day to be a Canuck fan.

Vesey was so underwhelming with the Canucks. A true floater.

I feel bad for the kid... he seemed genuinely sorry for what he did and owned his mistake. You would of thought he was strangling puppies to the way people are punishing him
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.

Friedman on his podcast says that he thinks there is already an agreement with Carolina for an extension where his next deal would be less than this 1 year deal - ie he wouldn't sign his qualifying offer but a reasonable extension. Can only sign in January as the offer sheet is a 1 year deal.
He thinks Montreal was offering a bridge of around 2.5M x 2 maybe even less. Friedman thinks there's a chance that Montreal might not match - they have Suzuki coming up in a year. He says they will probably take those picks around the league and see what they could bring back. Dvorak could be a target as suggested by Engels.
Kotkaniemi signed well above his value and could get 6M through his RFA years if they match - he just has to sign his qualifying offer every season. They can't trade him for a year.
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.

Canucks, Philly and Chicago. Don't believe LA did enough to warrant a nomination.
Philly probably improved the most.

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.

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

Plenty of room for both Petey and Quinn.
I like the term and the cap hit. Well done.

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.

If I was a Rangers fan I would be embarassed by the direction the team is deciding to go and what the catalyst behind this change in direction was.
You let one player change the future of your entire franchise and he isn't even in your organization.

Montreal is set on the left side with Edmundson, Chairot and Romanov. They need a right shot PMD. No interest in Schmidt from Montreal
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!

I know some of you have probably made the 9th for Reinhart a somewhat reality in your minds.
I really feel that Garland is a much better fit for our team than Reinhart would have been.

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.

We will recoup picks in other transactions for sure.. right?
Right?

From very scared to very pleased.
I think this will be a very good move for us.
Reminders for everyone: OEL contract expires when he turns 36 and reported caphit of 7 mil (reported). Garland is nasty and is a huge add for the top 6.
I really really like this.

It has got to be some retained salary on OEL. I am more than okay with this if that is the case.
An OEL at around 6 mil is a thumbs up from me.
Trade Schmidt for picks.

This is exciting. All the stuffs are happening.
Wow. I am scared. I am excited. Mostly scared.

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.

Was this an expected thing?
I mean, when does a 30 year old playing in Sweden ever just retire and then immediately become a tv color analyst for a team he has never played for?

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.

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.

[Report] Sharks claim Jonah Gadjovich off waivers
in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Posted
2-way contracts don't have anything to do with waiver eligibility. This isn't NHL 21.
Besides, Gadj has a 2-way.
