  1. Yeah I don't really like him specifically with those 2 because they just ramble stupid stuff. It's funny cause he was on with Sat and Jawn for a bit yesterday and he was infinitely more bearable lol like you say his info seems legit and tends to make sense
  2. the guy can only report the information he gets. It's important to triage and report on facts but a lot of these are "this team is interested" or "this team has inquired about" or "this team been fielding offers on" so not really a hard set rumour such as "Canucks are all in" or "An offer is on the table for ___ " type of thing. It's possible that Canucks were interested in Gardiner but now with Edler they are not interested anymore. It's also possible that they are still interested. Canucks could have the 4 LHD Edler, Hutton, Gardiner, Hughes and just have one play on the right side. Who knows...
  3. Dhaliwal said that the talks were stalled and that he thought Edler was going to hit free agency. But then yesterday he reported that talks picked back up and was looking like something was going to get done.
  4. Curious on why you lost respect for Dhaliwal? if anything you should be gaining respect no ? Dhaliwal has been reporting what's been going on. Prior to a couple days ago it was stalled which he reported and when the negotiations was looking good and picked up again he reported that too. Seems like he's been accurate in his reports.
  5. I don't think NYR have any immediate concerns with the cap.. They would like rather wait out the 2 years of Shattenkirk rather than acquire 1 more year of Erickson. They could toss 8million to Trouba and still have 10m left over to sign their 4-5 RFAs // UFAs in which they aren't going to cost much... Other than maybe Buchnevich but he'd prob be 4-5m or could be tossed a bridge deal to branch the Shattenkirk deal. Now if they really wanted Panarin then I agree Shattenkirk likely has to go but they would indefinitely not be taking a LE contract back if that was the case.
  6. 2 years though would line up with Hughes and Peterson contracts though so I would do it just for contract length
  7. Marleau has a NMC and 1 year left in the contract I'd imagine Marleau would feel better on a good Toronto team rather than a garbage/aging LA team Also Matthews and Marner seems to be pretty close to Marleau and his family so I'm not sure its worth the shake up for a 1year and complex to move contract
  8. Kinda reminds me of Edler when he got spun around and led to fall awkwardly on his face. Canucks didn’t get a 5 minute major on that play #conspiracy All jokes aside I think anyone (perhaps other than the near sighted sjs fans) would look at the replay and say the circumstances of pavelski’s injury were unfortunate
  9. Well top that off with he got ejected!!! Which seems to me refs thought their was intent to injure or else why eject him? Eakin was one of the better VGK players out there.
  10. A Nylander trade should be targeting a young defender which we have none to spare. if we had Nylander I’d be happy because he’d be a legit top 6 winger but I don’t think he has enough ambition or gusto to make it as a legit top line winger. With that said I would not be spending assets to gain a winger like that. I’d rather draft and build / develop within or you try to get panarin in UFA because that guy is a stud and is worth the money oh to top that I’d imagine Kadri name is going to be circulating around which would be potentially more salary moving out. Maybe they would like Sutter as a 3rd line veteran centre :p seems like a Babcock guy.
  11. I’d do it. Doubt car does.. im also going to guess that the Canucks are going to give Travis and Jake until he is 24 or whatever he said he could get the best out of him. also Woo would be the perfect partner for Q in terms of skill set and ability. As long as he continues to trend upwards
  12. I’d be interested in seeing a line of Pearson - Horvat - Callahan seems chippy, responsible and Grundy that could put up points. but I’d only do that if we can put together a skilled scoring 3rd line and has nothing to do suter, granlund or shaller that said I think it’ll take more value for Vancouver to take 5.8m contract for a matter of 13 spots on the others... unless marky or demo gets moved we’re not picking up another goalie... detroit... doesn’t seem like an yzerman type of move especially in his first year of stepping in.
  13. Marleau has a NMC and marner/matthews both are glued to the guy. he’s been alright points wise throughout his Toronto campaign. I’m doubtful he’s going anywhere.. i thought they shoulda traded Nylander at the start of the season and I still think they should do that to free up cap space and move that 7m towards their abysmal defence..
  14. Well nothing saying that the 2020 pick can’t be lottery protected.. specifics like that could be fine tuned.. Anyways, the argument is that if you know what you’re getting in Hughes is great then would it matter what next years maybe might bring you? like if you were picking McDavid or Matthews does that change your mind, would you do the trade then? If so then the argument is based on whether you like/believe in Hughes or not, which is a fine argument. Personally I have 0 clue other than the murmurs that’s he’s a damn special player but I trust in JB and Judd Bracket’s scouting to make that determination and if they were to make a deal like that it’d be because he’s a lock to make an impact on the team.
  15. I’d be down with that.. jack is a play driver and a game changer (supposedly) Really none of those pieces moves any kind of needle alone. I’d also bet that Ian Clark could resurrect Schneiders form and play. that said I’m doubtful that package is anywhere close :p
  16. The management team conducting the scouting have shown that they are quite capable of picking out stellar talent throughout the draft board. I'm sure they have an idea of the player they truly want and that will dictate whether the price they would have to pay would be worth the payoff of the difference in talent from their 10th pick vs whatever pick they would move up to. In terms of value, I'd imagine its somewhat close Demko, Hutton + 10th OA for 4th OA I guess the biggest question is what player in the 4-9 range would be worth the price in assets? Byram / Turcotte / Zigras / Podkolzin / Krebbs / Dach / Cozens Turcotte and Byram are probably the 2 main candidates from what I hear as the standout but I doubt they are really far off from the rest of the 7 not to mention that at #10 one of these guys could fall or the next crop also don't see too bad either Boldy / York / Soderstrom / Caufield / Harley But what do I know I'm no scout and I haven't seen any of these kids play... so I'll leave that with GMJB and more importantly Judd Bracket and trust they'll pick up a gem.
  17. Rathbone is at Harvard university. I’d be curious in how many Harvard students leave to go pro. You bit my curiousity so I looked it up lol interesting list http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/alumni.php?tmi=6047 shows all Harvard alumni. So many no names lol. One recent example I found was Ryan Donato 2015 2nd rounder for Boston (now traded to the wild) left after his 3rd year to go pro havent looked through most of it but doesn’t seem often. Also interesting Alex biega is a Harvard alumni, who stayed 4 years there
  18. Honestly I think we could hit one of those 2 AND panarin and still be fine cap wise My main inquiry is what panarin would get contract-wise.. Career ppg player... 9.5m/y at minimum??
  19. You’d rather see a fancy bridge rather than go hiking, skiing, snowboarding, camping, hit up some nice lakes or just hang around one of the more lively cities when it comes to plays/night life/culinary ?? seems highly suspect... Vancouvers weather and terrain is suited for a full calendar of activities. So if you are bored then that’s on you.
  20. from what I gathered Lockwood seems like a Hansen-like player. Speed and tenacity but maybe has better mitts to put in the net. Lind is more of a typical sniper but with a decent mind for the game. Has more offensive tools to his disposal. If I were to assess, Lind has the higher upside but Lockwood has the higher likely-hood to making the NHL his speed and drive seems like he'd at least be a bottom 6.
  21. think it is believed that he'll play the next game after he gets a practice with the team in. My assumption is that burmy is out and gagner moves to center
  22. I hope he ends getting a couple starts in the NHL this year. Would be nice to see if he's close to ready in a backup capacity next year.
  23. Palmu may not have the insane skillset that Pettersson has or the physical tools that Lind has but my god, from what his coach said this guy has the gumption and the will to succeed. He was one of my favorite benning picks last year. The guy reminds me of Brendan Gallagher.
