  1. I like Hyman. But almost all players get overpaid on free agency day. Except Toffoli. I'd do 3 or 4 years max but some GM will sign him to a longterm overpaid contract. Leafs need more guys like Hyman not less. They should look to trade Marner instead and extend Hyman.
  2. Why would Hamilton want to come to Canucks? He can sign with any team in the league. I doubt he picks a bottom feeder team in Canada over a contender. He's 28yrs old and will be signing a retirement contract. He's not going to a bottom of the league team.. We can look to sign these types of Ufa players when we are legit contenders. When ever that may be. 2 years or 5 years or 10 years down the road.
  3. It was an open secret during the season that Johnson would waive his NMC for ED. COL gets to protect a good young Dman instead and SEA won't take him anyways. They'll have better options to pick from the AVS.
  4. The goal is not to become a playoff team. The goal is to become a Stanley Cup Contender year after year. Like the old Redwings or the current Tampa Bay team. I think Y and the Wings get there before we do. He's only been there 2 years. His first draft pick for DET was Moritz Seider 6th overall in 2019. We picked Podkolzin 10th.
  5. I went to watch EuroCup in France in 2016. Best sports event I've watched in person. Watched the Semi Final France vs Germany in Marseille. Had best seats in house. So fun. Went back to Paris for final France vs Portugal. Paris was a blast that night. Never seen anything like it. Even though France lost the final, it was a life time memory to be there and enjoy the party atmosphere and the soccer culture in Europe.
  6. Steve Y is rebuilding a new core. He got a great deal done at tdl. He'll continue to gather top picks and prospects. I also expect Y to add a couple of skilled Russian players to the roster, via draft most likely. I think DET becomes a legit contender sooner than us. Y will do it the right way. He won't try to rush things and make bad trades or sign bad contracts. He'll be patient and go into top end UFA market when the new core is ready and fully developed.
  7. Why are ppl in such terrible mood. Arguing over silly things... It's summer, beautiful weather, the city is open again after a pandemic. Lots of great sports on TV including Copa America last night and Eurocup today. What's the matter... sometimes best to log off for a bit and get out to enjoy the city and weather.
  8. I bought a lottery ticket today. Have more hope in that than JV.
  9. Benning's job is on the line. If team doesn't make playoffs he won't be extended. I can see him making moves to try and make the playoffs. But I think unfortunately he's going to make mistakes and overpay in trade and free agency. That's what desperate GMs do, make mistakes. There are too many needs on this team. A top 6 forward, a good 3C and improve defense. 4th line also needs improve. That's a lot to ask for especially with bad contracts on the roster and flat cap. Canucks will be a bottom 10 team again next season. Hopefully we win lottery and strike gold.
  10. Benning wouldn't embarrass himself by making an offer like that.
  11. Cost will be very high. He's a top tier player in the NHL. He's a star player. Every team in the NHL would love to have him. Start with Boeser and add good NHL ready prospect and a 2nd.
  12. Please don't post this stuff. It's disgusting. Find another way of making your point. It's gross.
  13. Good deal for Oilers. A bit long by a year or two but 5 mill is very good. He'll be 35 until April 12th of the season contract expires.
  14. When your team mates call you huggy bear I'm sure opposing players have a few laughs with it. If they Kesler and Burrows can question the character of an opposing players wife it's difficult to imagine they wouldn't make fun of huggy bear.
  15. The amount of trash players talk to each other on ice... guaranteed some opposing players have made fun of Hughes using his nick name. Remember Kesler and Burr caught talking to Backes about his wife.. huggy bear is way to easy and players probably make fun and laugh at him. Horrible nick name for a NHL player. A game known for speed roughness toughness hitting and fighting. Then huggy bear jumps over the boards. Lol
  16. Yup. Larionov said that a year or so ago after Pod got drafted.. I doubt Pod has the offensive skills of Mess but if he could get close to the grit, leadership and longevity of Mess he would be a special player. Anything close to Messier is a huge draft day coup at 10th overall.
