Laffy is not on his level. Mcdavid is a generational talent. OV Crosby Gretky Mario Jagr level...
Laffy would be great on 97s wing..
I spend a lot of time in Edmonton and go watch Oilers games often... in Edmonton right now actually...
If not Canucks would love to see him in Edmonton. That's my 2nd choice.
you just know
that laffy
will end up as a laff
it's just going to happen

There's rumours that the Oiler are/were expected at least Andersson plus a 1st for Puljujarvi, which is nuts.
The Canucks should try to find a way to get Andersson. Perhaps a package revolving a couple of the following pieces: Karlsson, rights to Goldobin, Lind, Sutter, Woo, Demko (assuming the Canucks are keeping Markstrom).
um, no not at all
there is no way this franchise trades Woo unless he fully proves first to be a bust
his marketing potential in this market is huge
he will not be traded away for anything less then a total haul
and lias (i toss my medal) andersson is no haul at all

Nothing. Reddit NHLstreams may be toast but there are tons of alternatives out there if one's willing to spend a few minutes on google.
i'm not
cuz i'm sure
you'd be willing to message me some details
i already have to pay for my game beverages
so i'm supporting the companies that support the team
so i clearly am already doing my part with the financial support end of things for my team

As long as the cap doesn't drop significantly, I think every team should be alright.
A compliance buyout would certainly be nice.
why ?
that makes the escrow amount deducted from the players pay go up
so they will all earn less if buyouts have to be factored in

Mogilny and Konstantinov are the two biggest omissions from the HHOF from that era. Both should have been inducted years ago.
Lowe was basically the caliber of Ohlund. Solid player but doesn't belong in the hall.
he got a backdoor entry ticket
a reward for destroying the oilers for all those years in management
despite getting all those high draft picks
congrats lowe for taking the low road in

where the hell is steve nash???
yeah the part owner steve nash

mr. nash this is hurting your brand
or if it is not .. .. it really should
your silence is not acceptable
please explain what the hell is going on with the caps?
or have they stuffed your mouth too full with paper money ? -

So I would never make that move because top super star centre are not easy to find at 21 years old...
Centre position is locked up 1. Pettersson 21 - 2. Horvat 25 - 3. Gaudette 23 - So exciting to have these 3 guys 4th lines we can plug...
Wingers are where we trade for that # 2 D man--- Wing is depth position on Vancouver and we must trade one of these guys to get a top #3 D man this summer.. We know fee agents UFA will demand too much money..
Wingers - 1. Miller 2. Taffoli 3. Boeser 4. Pearson 5. Virtanen 6. Ferland 7. Leivo 8. MacEwen 9. Motte 10. Podkolzin 11. Lind 12 Hoglander...
D men --1.Edler 34 - 2. Hughes 3. Myers 4. (Tanev 31 UFA - don't resign ) 5 Sttcher 6.Benn 7.Fantenberg 29 UFA ???-- 8. Rafferty, Briesbois, Juoleve 21, Rathbone, Woo
Goal solid - Markstrom - Demko - Dipietro --
So we trade a winger either Boeser or Virtanen for Ristolainen 25, 6'4 - 24-26 min per game #2 Dman 5.5 million..
We don't resign Tanev for 4.5 million and we are trading a winger off roster. Boeser will get the best return out of the wingers..
We only trade Boeser if we can resign Taffoli 4 yrs X 4.9 million
Only a few players not to trade-----1. Pettersson 21 - superstar Top 20 NHL player for many years to come , so exciting.... 2. Hughes 20 - Superstar D man that is already the best D man Vancover has ever seen.. You just hold on we have another 10 years of Hughes thrilling us with his moves...
then i'm all for signing toffoli for 4 years at 4.95 million
so we can keep (not trade) brock

explain how you get to items 2 and 3 in your scenario
you cannot trade a prospect, no matter how good, for cap space
so you do need to provide more details
how trading this player
suddenly frees up or makes available gap space we can use to sign free agents
(and if you are merely referring to item 1, why bother separating this all into separate items)
i say no to number 1
i do not understand how number 2 and 3 work

congrats
he was a good soldier for this franchise
did not complain
strapped on his skates and did his best
was a very good ahl player
had a few tastes of the nhl while with this franchise
but was not able to take that next step
hope khl somehow gets him more reward for his effort and skill

darn
i was just about to suggest
factoring in employee fraud
and siphoning of enough cash to get your inventory expense to the 140K range
i clearly know more about crime then accounting
please disregard my post

Wanna ride shotgun with Elias Pettersson for 4-5 years Toffy? Just sign on the dotted line.
I doubt he'd be set up with a better centreman on any other team.
He's not a 1st liner for anybody else, really. But he fits very well (from what we've seen) with what Petey and JT bring.
well we could have said the same thing about anson carter (actually i think management did)
and then years later offering a contract value lesser then the huge expectations of that winger
led to suggestions of racism (ok, not until race protests were well underway)
granted tt is white .. so he will have a harder time making this an issue (well aren't we all 1 or 2% black?)
but that is what i recall about the last short term 1st line winger
who saw his production explode on our first line

They should just do Edmonton and Vancouver.
East goes to Edmonton. Set the whole bubble inside that hub on Eastern Time. It’s summer in the North, and the 5am (MT) sunrise in Edmonton is happening at the same time as a 7am sunrise in Miami. Just keep the whole works running on Eastern Time, so the players aren’t having to really adjust, and it will be natural to play and broadcast all those games at times suitable for the Eastern market.
Of course, having midnight (ET) sunsets in Edmonton will be a little weird, but that’s what blackout curtains are for.
The West is in Vancouver, of course, and that hub runs on local, Pacific Time.
and then they can bus them here as the away teams for the finals (as vancouver is sure to be the hub city for the finals)
(of course, they will have to bus back after each and every game to stay in their team dedicated hotels in edmonton)
i think that can provide sufficient advantage to the nucks if they get to the finals

There you go again............giving no opinions on what you would do to correct the cap crisis
but crapping all over someone else for their idea's
He is not re-writing the cap rules, he suggesting alterations
He knows and so does everyone else, that Benning and the management team will make the decisions
He is just trying to put something out there..........
I would not be be so critical of you, but you do the same thing over and over
Put out your idea's, and stand by them
We are just trying to get through this.......................I would love a total proposal from you, to balance the cap and signing players
"Would love it!" But you would rather, crap over everyones idea's, even though you know the same as everyone else
Put something out there...........come on, big fellow!...........stick your toe over the line! I dare you!
thanks for noticing
please explain the luongo buy out
since you wish to defend the poster
maybe you can also consider
and explain
the recent misleading title of one of your threads (i mean really? why?)
so much online posting is misleading and silly (especially about trades - wannabe gms)
yet you expect me to take is more seriously
get real

Toronto. Went for a walk to Best Buy downtown. An accumulated list of a few needed products.
Decided to count who had masks and who didn’t.
I counted 465 people walking toward me. I did not bother with the other side of the street, or people who were behind me. 362 did not wear a mask. 292 had a mask on.
About 63% of people are not wearing masks.
Down from an estimate on 90-95% three weeks ago, now, 37% wear masks.
math
your numbers do not add up
where did the other people come from
that you added in but did not count as walking towards you ?
(adding in people you saw on tv attending the trump rally is unfair )

Meat packing plants have definately spread the virus..
I thought i read most CDN's have covid strain from the USA. Very VERY few Canadians got covid with a Chinese strain.... So basically the BC chinese community did not really bring covid into BC... Mostly BC Covid probably came in from CDN's that were visiting the USA ...
Maybe Eastern Canada has alot more USA border crossings/ tourism than BC does..
Just my theory... could be totally wrong ......
earliest travel cases in bc were from people returning from egypt, iran and china
and then there was that dental conference as well
this history of transmissions is shown in the early graphs when travel was tracked
community cases soon came on and most transmission was local

So allowing Dr. Henry & Adrian Dix to do their jobs is in stark contrast to what Trump did (meddle, interfere and poo poo some of his experts).
I'm so impressed with how our streamlined system and official(s) provided updates, information and recommendations in a consistent, calm way. Rather than fragmented and coming from all angles, leading to a "who/what do we listen to?" scenario.
Well done, BC Health officials! And to all those who followed their guidance.i agree
and unfortunately in the usa
it is politicized at federal and state levels
though cuomo did a good job in new york
he was a bit slow on the uptake
but then really hit the ground running - impressive
except,
he did exactly what trump did
hogged the spotlight - and being a politician - made the whole endeavour way way too political
he should have done it bc style.. have the doctor start, do most of the talking, and take the lead in question answering
and the cuomo could have filled in gaps
but no, not in the usa
cuomo did his own trump impression in his approach and in the optics he presented
that country is so incredibly polarized
their demise will be incredibly swift
unless this recent round of protests
really does make huge systemic changes
but i doubt it will .. as only part of the problem is political systemic
part of it is economic - multinationals that are immune to this sort of protest
unless the protesting turns into boycotting certain economic entities
and that sort of pressure is only being hinted at presently
trump is an autocrat wanna be
and the wealthiest in the usa
are oligarch wanna bes
makes sense that russia is so involved in assisting reshaping the usa political/economic scenery

I would think that each hub would need at least 4 NHL quality ice surfaces as teams will need practice time as well as games. It wouldn't be just the ice surface but the need for quality dressing/treatment rooms as well. Potentially Thunderbird arena could be in the mix as the Canucks use it as a practice facility now, then all the arena's you mentioned except maybe the Agrodome? Could see them using Abbotsford at the beginning, then dropping it and potentially Langley off as teams are eliminated and the need for ice drops.
i think some of the training/treatment rooms issues don't need to be fully addressed by the arenas selected
an entire team will all be staying in the same hotel
treatment/training (fully sanitized) facilities can be set up there
it is unlikely players will shower at the arenas anyway.. they are more likely to do that once they are back in their hotel room
everyone's thinking has to change a bit
the arenas are riskier zone since it is a shared area
time spent there will be limited as much as possible
(but i'm sure the bus post game/practice will be a tad smelly )

why the focus on percentages?
don't actual ticket sales matter most ?
montreal leads the nhl in actual attendance (or ticket sales)
ny islanders are last
i'm going to start my own nhl franchise
i will lead the league in percentage of ticket sales
my arena will seat 4
but when i add the 2 extra folding chairs
i'll be at 150%
so my franchise will be wildly successful- 2
