[Signing] Canucks sign Teddy Blueger
‹(•¿•)› replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Love it, great low risk stop gap options. -
Arizona needs to add a seventh round pick in 2037 to even things out.
-
I think he's the exact profile of a difference maker in the playoffs. I wouldn't read a whole lot into the fact he didn't score in the KHL. The fact he played games as a 17 year old D on a strong KHL team is impressive enough. If you read the article, Shane Malloy projects him as a 35 point #3D in the NHL, with shutdown capabilities. Comparables I've seen include Larsson and Gavrikov. If we could get a player like that in 2 years on an entry-level deal, sign me up.

Agreed, there will be better, and less risky options where we pick. It's crucial we get some elite skaters in the system, and also address our depth issues at center and D.

(Speculation) Conor Garland buyout this Summer?
‹(•¿•)› replied to Makaramel MacKhiato's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Yeah, that is unfortunate, I guess it could only happen if he got healthy enough to want to attempt another comeback. I don't really think buyouts are the way to go for this team, anyway. -
(Speculation) Conor Garland buyout this Summer?
‹(•¿•)› replied to Makaramel MacKhiato's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
The guy to buyout is Poolman, save 2mil off the cap each of the next 2 years, followed by 2 years of 1mil penalty. That is, if we're going to buyout anyone, buying out Garland is just dumb. -
[Rumour] Canucks Getting Calls on Luke Schenn

That D is terrible, we need to be aiming higher. -
[Rumour] Bo Horvat Trade/Contract Talks
‹(•¿•)› replied to HOFsedins's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Ok, I'll bite: OEL + Garland for Eriksson, Beagle, Roussel, a first and a second Gudbranson for McCann, a 2nd and a 4th Linden Vey for a second rounder Kes and a 3rd for Bonino, Sbisa, a late 1st and a third Forsling for Clendenning Baertschi for a 2nd (Rasmus Anderson) Kassian for Prust 3rd rounder for Dickinson Plus there's a bunch more that even while being inconsequential show a pattern of prioritizing NHL readiness over possible upside. Granlund for Shinkaruk, Gaudette for Highmore, Pedan and a 4th for Pouliot. That list reads like a cautionary tale about chasing NHL ready players with limited upside. I really hope this new management prioritises getting max value in a Horvat trade, whether that means picks, prospects or young NHL players. -
Apparently, they can create the extra cap room needed to accomplish this by placing DI Giuseppe on LTIR.
-
It has to do with the number of days he was on the roster last year.

[Waivers] 64 players - Oct. 09, 2022
‹(•¿•)› replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Unfortunately, I think there's a close to zero chance we claim anyone. I didn't realize how dicey the cap situation really is, but Stephen Roget's most recent CA article does a really good job of outlining the situation: https://canucksarmy.com/news/ltir-explained-exactly-how-canucks-set-opening-day-roster-stay-compliant-why It seems like without the Dickinson trade we wouldn't have even been able to ice a full team, let alone carry any extras, with all the players we have who are currently injured, but won't be out long enough to be put on LTI. -
(Speculation) MTL potentially shopping Gallagher and Edmunson
‹(•¿•)› replied to RWJC's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
That Gallagher contract is kind of a no go for me, even though I love the way he plays.- 114 replies

[Signing] Canucks re-sign J.T. Miller
‹(•¿•)› replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Difference of opinion is fine, but when you say you're not a Miller fan it comes off a little silly. You don't like 99 point players that play in all situations, and are the emotional leaders of the team? Not being a fan of the long term ramifications of the signing is quite different than not being a fan of one of our most important players. -
[Signing] Canucks re-sign Michael DiPietro
‹(•¿•)› replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Sheesh, no wonder I saw him getting the $2.95 breakfast at Bon's off Broadway. -
[Rumour] Ondrej Palat to hit free agency
‹(•¿•)› replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
In no world should Beagle and Palat be considered as any kind of comparable. Palat is really damn good. If we were at a different point in our cycle, or had more cap space, I'd love to add him -
Which JT Miller Deal would you prefer?
‹(•¿•)› replied to BCNate's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
Nice poll, with a bunch of options that seem fairly realistic to me, I chose the LA package, but not an easy decision. -
[Proposal] Dream offseason my moves if I’m the gm!!

Sounds like you're dreaming alright! -
[Rumour] Devils open to trading 2022 1st-round pick
‹(•¿•)› replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
You don't use a 2oa pick to draft a 3c. Slafkovsky will more than likely play as a top 6 LW, the position he plays now. This idea of him at C seems to have been a bit overblown due to a few pre-draft interview questions. -
[Rumour] Canucks interested in Andrei Kuzmenko
‹(•¿•)› replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
By fixing the RHD, are you referring to drafting Nemec? He looks crazy intriguing, but would he even be available at 5? -
[Rumour] Canucks interested in Andrei Kuzmenko
‹(•¿•)› replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
We'll see Alf, not much reason for Brock to sign for those numbers when he has a 7.5 QO in his back pocket. Negotiations are a 2 way street and signing at 6.75 is a pretty decent discount from Brock's side. Could be pretty good value if he can get back to a 0.75 PPG kind of range. -

‹(•¿•)› replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Where are you getting $8.5mil from? His QO is 7.5, and if he ends up signing that, then I agree you probably have to try to move him. It would be shame though cause you'd be selling low on a good player. Hopefully, he signs for something like 3 x 6.75. I don't think 5.85 is a realistic target given his QO.
