  1. RIP Raptors. At least they won a championship.

      Yea, Masai made some ballsy moves and managed to bring the championship to Toronto. As a fan -- or even a fairweather fan -- you can't be mad with how things ended up. Kahwi was really on there for a good time, not a long time.

      @Rounoush Their franchise crashed harder than we did after 2011

  6. Canucks GM Jim Benning is looking to add "speed, speed, speed" in a trade according to Rick D.  Rick also believes VAN will be hard after signing speedy UFA winger Michael Grabner. Grabner a former Canucks 1st round pick.

     

  7. I'm digging that new community poll. But do people really think MDZ is better than Hutton?

  8. Can you imagine a John Carlson/Olli Juolevi pairing? 

    1. Blömqvist

      Blömqvist

      If we could negotiate a deal with Carlson beforehand and then trade for him right after...

       

      WSH: Tanev + Goldobin

      VAN: Carlson (signed at a 7x7 extension)

  9. So assuming the Sedins do retire this year do we look at signing Tavares as 14 mill gets free'd up?  Yes I do realize, the Islanders will try to resign him asap but just for discussion...

     

    We get a #1C that could replace Henrik allowing us to get an elite forward, speeding up our rebuild....

     

    Thoughts? His points/ game and +/- stat are better against Western conference teams compared to Eastern (yes there is a smaller sample size)

     

    What does a Tavares contract look like no matter who signs him?

    1. Blömqvist

      Blömqvist

      I would assume that if Tavares hit free-agency he could possibly get McDavid-level money. $100M over 8 years is certainly not out of the question for a UFA in his prime that is arguably a top-10 or top-20 player in the league, especially with teams trying to out-bid each other for his services. I am sure he will get at least Toews-level money. I'd say he'd be worth it.

      Might as well. I wouldn't give him $14M, however. Contracts-wise, we won't have anyone over $6M for the next few years unless Boeser becomes elite (which hopefully he does). We'll have ELCs in Dahlen, Pettersson, Juolevi, and Gaudette. An elite forward UFA signing could put us into playoff contention or more, especially if Horvat and Boeser become stars and our ELCs contribute.

  11. Quick Saturday night three way...

     

    EDM: Horvat + VAN 2nd + *TOR 2nd

    TOR: Tanev

    VAN: Draisaitl + Liljegren

    *Edmonton receives the highest of Toronto's two second round picks

     

    Draisaitl + Pettersson + Gaudette down the middle. Juolevi + Liljegren dictating play from the backend. 

    1. Blömqvist

      Blömqvist

      I was hoping Horvat signed at ~$5M cap hit plus two 2nd rounders (early 2nd and mid 2nd) would be enough for Draisaitl, who we would sign at ~$9M

  12. Had fun playing against Stecher over some paintball. Made sure to not hit him - don't want him getting injured haha. Side note: dude looks jacked as hell.

  13. Quick three way:

    COL: Hutton + Goldobin + MTL 1st

    MTL: Duchene + VAN 2nd

    VAN: Galchenyuk

    Fair value?

    1. Blömqvist

      Blömqvist

      @Alflives Ya it's a decent idea to start out with but as @Stamkos says Duchene is a great player and worth more than Hutton, Goldobin, and a late 1st. Needs some tinkering to do...

      @Alflives Three way trade Montreal trades out Galchenyuk and their 1st rounder for Duchene and our 2nd rounder

  15. Where an you get a N64 for now? How much would they go for?

    1. Blömqvist

      Blömqvist

      Gamesdeals Video Games and Press Start Video Games, both in New West if you're here locally in the Greater Vancouver Area

  16. Drouin + 14th overall pick for Tanev + 5th overall pick? 

    1. Blömqvist

      Blömqvist

      Interesting.. say if it's Drouin signed to a long-term deal and Foote with the 14th overall pick.. that's a potential 1LW and a #2/3D.

  17. I think a lot of people are sleeping on Jonathan Dahlen. I can see him in his young career taking a similar path to that of Sebastian Aho of the Canes. 

    1. Blömqvist

      Blömqvist

      I was hoping Gaudette would turn pro this year, so that in 2017.18 we would have a line of Dahlen - Gaudette - Virtanen. That would be a treat for Utica fans.

  18. How the times have changed, sad.  I still and will always blame Gillis for not trading Schneider after the 2011 season....

    1. Blömqvist

      Blömqvist

      Should've traded Schneider+ for Carter before the 2011 finals.

  19. Goldobin to debut on the 3rd line. Willie says he doesn't want to disrupt the chemistry on the top 2 lines. Thoughts?

    1. Blömqvist

      Blömqvist

      It'll be good for Goldobin to start on the third line. Draws him away from the tougher matchups that the Sedins and Horvat would get.

  20. Wtf Jordan Subban a healthy scratch tonight in Utica...

    1. Blömqvist

      Blömqvist

      Ya I've heard about the scratch rotation too. Not sure if it is actually that or if he isn't that great on defence or the possible injury/required maintenance.

  21. I like the Virtanen pick, but something in my gut tells me that if we drafted Ehlers instead Benning would have drafted Tkachuk to get that physicality. Imagine our top line... Tkachuk, Horvat, and Ehlers with Boeser and Baertschi on the second line...

    1. Blömqvist

      Blömqvist

      If we were to draft Hischier next June our future core still looks great. Maybe the comparison should be between a potential Tkachuk, Horvat, and Ehlers line compared to a Hicher, Horvat and Virtanen (or Boeser) line.

  22. Time to bring back Henrik Tommernes

     

    1. Blömqvist

      Blömqvist

      Worth a shot for Utica. Or a depth #7 defenseman like Larsen.
