  1. He’s a safe option for the RD to buy us some time. He’s pretty good at transitioning the puck, making a quick fake to lose a forechecker, followed by an accurate outlet pass. After PA described our identity as a fast team that gets the puck to our forwards, I can see how he fits.
  2. Cornell lost to Harvard last night. Will find out tomorrow if they’re selected to the playoffs
  3. I was a fan of Bo, but he lost any goodwill he had in the bank for me. Watching opponents take cheap shots on his teammates, upping his game in a contract year, and holding out for top dollar. Bye Felicia.
  4. I’ve wondered about this scenario also. It makes sense for why he hired Adam Oates for his contract year, and also explains why his scoring fell off after he got his deal.
  5. I’m curious about PA’s confidence in both internal (buyout/LTIR) and external options to clear cap. External options imply he has the bones of a deal or two in place. It’s possible other GM’s have expressed interest in an off-season trade for Myers, Boeser, Garland,etc.
  6. Honestly that’s a great point. Same can be said for JTM who is massively outperforming his current deal
  7. Faber mentioned Mankato expected to go on a deep run, so don’t expect Livingstone to be available until April. Cornell Harvard semifinal tonight could result in Malinski/Andreev being available next week.
  8. Agreed, a veteran on a 2-3 year deal would be great.
  9. We’re rumoured to be in on Max Andreev from Cornell. He’s their top line center, and excels in a checking role. Good on face offs, 6 ft, 182 lbs., Russian. Maybe we can land him and teammate Sam Malinski. They play Harvard in the semifinal tonight.
  10. Sounds like you’re secretly hoping he returns @DeNiro, and want to protect yourself from disappointment
  11. It’s his first day of eligibility after his team was eliminated. Seems like a reasonable time to bump the thread to me. Also, using a profile pic in Canucks gear seems significant. How about don’t try to control what other members are discussing? I’m also skeptic all of him returning, but I still find the info above useful.
  12. How do you know there won’t be any interest? If you’re so flustered by people discussing it, why respond to this thread?
  13. Yeah, I was just remembering that he was comfortable on the right side. Imagine if we could clear 2 significant wing contracts, plus Myers, then assemble this defence: Hughes Hronek - high event offence Gavrikov Tryamkin - red machine shut down OEL Bear - our former 2nd pair is now our 3rd
  14. Has there been any mention of PA’s interest in NT?
  15. Solid analysis, thank you. This is very helpful for gauging this team’s potential. Basically, we have a bubble playoff team, whose strong goaltending has compensated for poor team defence / lack of quality defenders. We have started to address team defence with new coaches /structure, as well as quality of defenders with Hronek, and possibly Bear. Add a Livingstone/Malinski, and replace Myers with a shutdown defender, and we have a reason to be hopeful for the playoffs.
  16. Something that doesn’t belong on hockey pants: a) a cactus
