[Signing] Islanders re-sign Oliver Wahlstrom
hammertime replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Youre absolutely right. However we have fewer power forwards than we have C especially ones that shoot right. Wahlstrom hits like a truck and was an 11oa pick because he has a great shot. He's a great buy low candidate rn. -

I'm curious if he was dangled instead of Raty? -

I don't think she was talking about Willander when she was telling Todd Harvey he better know what the #uck he's doing.

Tell us how you really feel about those late picks Cammi.

[Signing] Lightning re-sign Tanner Jeannot
hammertime replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
You couldn't be more wrong. Jeannot would put up 25-30g on Pete or Miller's wing in addition to being a pugnacious force on the ice -

[Report/Rumour] Elias Pettersson Contract Talks
hammertime replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I don't think it's overboard. The org has been a shit show the entire 6 years he has been here. He's entering his prime we have the OEL buyout looming no D, flooded wings and zero grit. Would you look at this team and think if I just take a mill less we will be contenders? JR PA won't be able to fix this overnight. If we aren't able to compete this year with Hughes and Pete on sweet heart deals and no OEL penalty, Hronek at 4.4 Demko at 5m it doesn't take Alfs crystal ball to see where things are headed. -
[Discussion] Payback is a …..
hammertime replied to shiznak's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
Is he an upgrade on those guys also we don't have a 2nd. I think the Rags will match up to $4290125 to ensure they get the 1st + 2nd unless they were to get offered a better deal maybe we could swing Garland @50% and a 2nd 2025 that might be a happy middle ground. But we'd still have to pay Laf -
[Report/Rumour] Elias Pettersson Contract Talks
hammertime replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I'd like to see Pete around 12% cap any more I think is diminishing returns as we will also need to pay people to play with him. My $.02 I understand maybe he doesn't sign long term 8 years for that but that's probably not the worst thing he can re negotiate in 5 years or so. -
Who here is actually happy with the Hronek trade?
hammertime replied to Odd.'s topic in Canucks Talk
I'm on a wait and see. I like Hronk. We will see what his next contract costs and if he can defend well enough to be worth it. -

hammertime replied to shiznak's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
No not because it's un ethical. I wouldnt offersheet him because he wouldn't be worth the compensation it would take to win. -
[Report/Rumour] Elias Pettersson Contract Talks

Is it outlandish to think there's another Huberdeau deal out there to rob another Canadian team? -
Does position factor into how they calculate BPA?

[Report/Rumour] Elias Pettersson Contract Talks
hammertime replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Would it really be a shocker to anyone if Pete held Alvin over a Barrel for max cap or demanded a trade to a tax haven? How much faith do you think he has that we are actually going to build a contender here? Would you take a discount if you were him based on what you've seen from this franchise so far? -

I know right? He's so slow. -
Is it too early to start the 2031 draft thread because this kid Liam Tep just smoked the Brick invitational. This kid is 10

I went Bains. I think the big thing is if you look at his trajectory. He has improved exponentially every year. He stated as a whl grinder and became a star. He's learned to grind in the A once again his pk is stellar. I expect another big year of growth from him. He has what it takes to become an elite middle 6. Where poz and hog have had it a bit more on a platter due to pedigree and have plateaued. Or developed more slowly with peaks and valleys. Where Bains has consistently improved.

I have some concerns. While I love players like Hoglander, Garland, Beauvellier, Kuzzmenko. It's a big opportunity for Dakota to step up. The only sandpaper we have in our top 9 is Miller Mikheyev. Realistically I think there could be another big opportunity for our pro scouts to show their mettle and dig up a young physical presence who can ride shotty on a skilled line. If they can do that we might have something here. There is no dearth of skill.

[Signing] Canucks re-sign Nils Hoglander to 2 year $1.1M
hammertime replied to Odd.'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Good for him just enough to ensure him a spot on the big club. He's earned it. -
I really like Heidt that could be an absolute steal and an example of why we need to keep our 2nds. Heidt is beast on the PP and I think far more likely to be a C than Benson still probably a winger tho.
