  1. I'll take the 1st for Brock and call it a day. Unfortunately unsigned Brock isn't fetcing anything at all I'm afraid. Might have to pay to trade a signed Brock though.
  2. Agreed on Brock but a 2nd is better than nothing and unless Brock is signing sub 6m i want nothing to do with an extension
  3. The thing is by letting the deadline pass and doing nothing theyve tied their hands with Brock no gm is gonna make an offer they'll just wait for him to walk, and they minimized the possible return on Miller. So IMO they crapped the bed.
  4. To be fair that hit he layed on Brock was nasty. Thinking DOPS gives him 2 games.
  5. I'm happy with Boudreau but would looooove to get Maurice. He's been my favorite coach since TO.
  6. You know sure it would help. But the real root of the issue is not his fitness but more so his willingness to compete. He's out there playing touch hockey in a contact league.
  7. Ya we don't need that. I don't know if you've heard but Hunts BB's Aaaron Rome.
  8. That's perennial elite 25goal scorer Boeser to you. Show some respect. Just Imagine what he could do if Miller and Pete weren't dragging him down.
  9. I'd settle for a Boeser puck battle he doesn't even have to win it. Just at least do something other than skate around and change.
  10. EP yes I love the way he's been playing. He's having a healthy year for his development. Can't make and omelet without breaking a few eggs. Brock is already in Da Beauty league mode.
  11. I mean it's gonna be really low. The reality is he's not worth 5+m of course thats a non starter so it's rock hard place. Either we trade him for whatever garbage is offered or we sign him to a bad contract. Maybe the classy thing to do would be to extend a 5m offer and allow him to go UFA to wherever he wanted if the destinations that want him aren't attractive or the money offered isn't what he's hoping for maybe he signs the 5m I'm fine with that signing him for anything north of 6m would be a mistake. If I'm a team that wants him I don't have to offer anything in trade just wait for the Canucks to either hang themselfs or let him walk.
  12. Or maybe its an opportunity to get a really excellent player who is motivated to play in NA. In 2 years all anyone will be talking about is Donald Trump.
  13. Johnny Canuck carrying a mattress or some other rubbish.
  14. BPA I think Yurov makes it to us Lambert would be a good pickup too. Kemell is gone, as is Savioe, Nemec Jiricek, Cooley, Slafkovski Wright. If no home run top 9 pick falls in our lap a la Podkolzin, Hughes. I want someone with an exceptional translatable rare skill or ability. The reality is I don't see a whole lot of what I would call projectable top 6 players with much reliability. Mesar Nazar Geekie Gauthier Howard Casey Mateychuk are good prospects and I'm sure many of them will be a very successful NHL players. I'm just not excited enough to pick them over another player I feel more confident will carve out a defined role in the NHL and fits my vision of the direction of the team. 3C candidates Beck FO wiz accurate snappy shot excellent awareness positionally makes smart aggressive reads to hold a team under pressure. Kaspar Infuriating presence under the hashmarks with a chippy attitude. Excellent special teams PK PP Gaucher Big shut down C great in transition and can really lug the puck across the line offensively or defensively. Excellent PK Wingers. I like Nyman aside from and on another level Slafkovski. Nyman is probably the most pro translatable power winger in this class. Lekkerimaki Kid can shoot! I would probably leave him in the SHL for 2 years cook him slowly he's probably the highest ceiling guy I would pick at 12-14. Trikozov Politically it's risky assuming things go back to normal he would be the first winger on this list. D RD Ryan Chesley If Chris Tanev could shoot! LD Lian Bichsel Best skating 6'+ player in the draft but he's 6'5 and lets em know it. Not as skilled as Edvinsson but more aggressive and better defensively. RD Nelson highest ceiling PMD wicked shot plays like a warthog. LD Korchinski he's probably the most projectable top 4D left at 12-14 HM Mintyukov, Ohgren. Sooo I dunno I'd probably trade down if someone special doesn't drop to us and get 2 of the players mentioned above.
  15. I'm for having him back. That being said I'd like to see something from JR Alvin in terms of shaping this team in the off-season.
  16. So what I'm hearing is pay less for Domi and more for Nich. I mean to be fair I'd be ok with that although Nichushkin is scoring at a rate he's never even approached before. The prices aren't set in granite agreed on Lemieux but I like that he really pisses people off and draws a ton of penalties. On paper we should have a really good PP.
  17. So where I'm at is this team needs an identity change. Our team needs to be more aggressive on pucks and on bodies. Too many easy nights for the opposition. I'm sick of watching the uninspiring play of the team. We need a lil swagger a lil Kes, Burr, Jarko Ruutu, in the lineup to let em know it's not gonna be a fun game of pickup shinny. In: Max Domi 5m Nichushkin 4.25m Sam Carrick 1.25m Brendan Lemieux 1.75m 12.25m + Halak Out: Brock 6m Pearson 3.25m Dickinson 2.65m Poolman 2.5 14.4m Pete Miller Pod Hoglander Bo Nichushkin Lemieux Domi Garland Lammi Carrick Lockwood Hughes Schenn OEL Myers Derm Burr Rath Juulson Demko Martin I don't think it'll cost the moon to move Dicki, or Poolman. Hopefully That cost can be offset by any return we get on dealing Brocks rights.
  18. Owen Beck is and he's 60% in the dot as a kid in the OHL wicked shot and a real pain on the 4chek
  19. I don't think that's how it works. Not proven guilty is not the same as proven innocent.
