  1. my guess is JB is offering 2-3 years around $5-5.5m tops. Hopefully everyday he holds out, JB takes a little more off the table. The top 6, without Boeser, still looks pretty decent.
  2. MacEwan isn't a fighter. He will fight, if he has to, but that's not his role, not even close.
  3. Dube and Kirkland are a cpl former Rockets, nice to see them get a BC game.
  4. In the context of negotiations, I think JB spent big so he had leverage when he realized BB was going to be looking for a huge deal.
  5. Like Laine, unless BB is scoring, he's pretty much totally invisible and has almost no impact on the game. That's not a shot at BB, that's just the player he is. Fortunately, he's very very good on offense. To me, a player who drives the play is the guy who has the puck on his stick most of the time.......the guy to whom the puck seems to follow around. Thats not BB, he's the opportunist who puts himself into good spots to benefit from a play driver. Adam Oates was the driver, Hull was the opportunist. Petey is the driver, BB is the opportunist.
  6. I wouldn't trade BB for Laine either, as his cap hit will be significantly higher. That said, Laine is at least a level up on BB, imo. His avg year is likely to be BB's good year.
  7. I know that, I just don't, necessarily, believe them
  8. That is a terrible offer, imo. I don't see JB doing that.
  9. I don't buy those numbers being real, at all. I think JB isn't even considering those kinds of deal at this stage in BB's career.
  10. I'd take Virt over Ehlers every single time, Nylander as well.
  11. that doesn't help anything........the point is to not overspend on RFA
  12. I'd say locks for 20+, as the roster currently stands Petey Bo Miller Locks for 15-20 Baer Ferland Virtanen
  13. maybe JB was waiting it out until he had a better idea if Boes was going to be there to start the season.
  14. I can't wait until the team plays a few games so people can shut the f*** up about Virtanen when they see there's nothing to whine about
  15. Honestly, they need an incremental salary system for RFA's to control the GM's more than they do the agents and players. Guys like Dubas have totally messed it all up
  16. I don't think anyone would argue that........but the have depth to minimize the impact now. They can still have a solid top 6 without Boeser in the lineup Goldy Petey Ferland Baer Bo Miller Or Ferland Petey Virt Baer Bo Miller Or Ferland Petey Miller Baer Bo Virt Not as good without Boes, but not chopped liver either.
  17. I think it's clear JB is willing to tough it out, given that he bought some leverage on the UFA market. Having Boes in the lineup isn't as critical now as it was before JB added depth.
