  1. Management has also shown they are able to sign over value contracts as well.
  2. Interesting If E.P. takes less isn't he just bailing out a team/management/owner, that hasn't known what it is doing? If so, why should he take less? How does he know, or trust management to spend that saved money on the right things? Also, will that saved amount actually be useful, or not.? Will it be enough to pay for a decent 3rd line center, or does it just go to another bottom line/ahl tweener?
  3. Max Cap, for 8 years- if the team truly wants him, this should be the easiest negotiation in Canuck history
  4. Mathews and E.P aren't really all that close as comparables. Auston has played 7 seasons, and made the play offs in all those years. He is a 5 time 40 goal scorer, peaking at 60 and never below 34 more than a point per game 481 reg games 299 goals 243 assists 542 points. E.P. Elias has 5 season, made the play offs once he scored 39 goals, once. 325 games played 136 goals, 187 assists for 323 points not a point per game(barely). This is going to be a huge negotiation, agree to too big a deal and cripple the team.
  5. I say hold on for the love of god, stop I'm not sure if I can take it or not

The deadline for the Canucks to sign both players is at midnight. At 12:00 AM on June 1st, neither Lockhart or Costmar will be property of the Canucks anymore. The Canucks drafted Lockhart in the sixth round of the 2021 NHL Entry Draft. The 2021 draft was notably the “blind draft” as many players had no place to play competitively during the pandemic. The OHL cancelled their season altogether, meaning Lockhart had no games played in his draft year. In the year prior, Lockhart scored nine goals and added 18 assists through 57 games played with the Erie Otters. In the OHL season after the Canucks drafted him, Lockhart tallied 23 goals and 25 assists through 64 games. This season, Lockhart recorded 29 goals and 50 assists through 66 games en route to his Peterborough Petes squad qualifying for the Memorial Cup, which is taking place right now. Lockhart has one goal through three games at the tournament after recording seven goals and nine assists through 23 OHL playoff games. Lockhart was fifth in scoring on the Petes’ OHL playoff run and picked up a hat trick on April 24th. The Canucks drafted Costmar in the seventh round of the 2019 NHL Entry Draft at 215th overall.

  8. Nope- sign Jarry, then trade; otherwise you could get stuck without Jarry and without Demko. So what does Jarry sign for?
  9. Just got my property tax notice. yikes! up 71% yet the property value 'only' went up 39%. Guess the rest is 'just' inflation.
  10. You said rogers was ok with people vandalizing his parents house- I'm asking for proof that Roger is ok with that. Strawman- look it up. example I say " I don't like the colour purple" you come back with 'Gurn hates rainbows" leaves everyone wondering "where did Gurn say he hates rainbows?"
  11. All I'm asking is for you to quote Roger. not make stuff up, and get upset at the stuff he did not say.
  12. I missed the part where Roger said that, could you quote it for me?
  13. Ripples start to form as T.V. rights holder doesn't pay: https://www.msn.com/en-ca/sports/baseball/mlb-takes-over-padres-broadcasts-wednesday-after-bally-misses-payment/ar-AA1bULrU?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=8d590e315ff644ecaede8036806eafef&ei=49 " Major League Baseball will take over broadcasts of San Diego Padres games beginning Wednesday after Diamond Sports missed a rights fees payment to the regional sports network's parent company and let the grace period expire. Diamond Sports, which owns 19 networks under the Bally Sports banner, said in a statement that it decided “not to provide additional funding to the San Diego RSN that would enable it to make the rights payment to the San Diego Padres during the grace period and will no longer be broadcasting Padres games after Tuesday.” The Padres RSN is owned by a joint venture of the team and Diamond. The Padres become the first team that MLB will take over production of its broadcasts. MLB set up a local media department during the offseason to prepare for a bankruptcy filing by Diamond Sports, which took place in March. “While we’re disappointed that Diamond Sports Group failed to live up to their contractual agreement with the club, we are taking this opportunity to reimagine the distribution model, remove blackouts on local games, improve the telecast, and expand the reach of Padres games by more than 2 million homes," MLB Chief Revenue Officer Noah Garden said in a statement. MLB announced Tuesday night that fans in the Padres’ home television market will be able to watch games on DirecTV, Cox, Spectrum, AT&T U-Verse and fubo. MLB will also offer a direct-to-consumer streaming subscription for $19.99 per month or $74.99 for the rest of the season by registering at MLB.TV. This is the first time MLB.TV is offering a DTC option in a team's home market and also lifts the blackout rules that were in place for games previously distributed on Bally Sports San Diego. Padres games through Sunday will be available for free with an MLB login at MLB.com, Padres.com and in the MLB apps on mobile and connected devices. MLB said that the new arrangement expands the reach of Padres’ games in its home television market by 189% from approximately 1.13 million homes to approximately 3,264,000. Padres TV announcers Don Orsillo, Mark Grant and Bob Scanlan will remain in place because they are employed by the team. There wasn't any mention at the end of the Padres 9-4 win at the Miami Marlins or on the postgame show that Tuesday was the final Padres game on Bally Sports San Diego. Due to a storm at the ballpark, the broadcast feed for both teams was disrupted during the seventh inning. The Padres signed a 20-year, $1.2 billion contract with Fox Sports Networks in 2012. Diamond Sports Group and Sinclair Broadcast Group bought the regional sports networks from The Walt Disney Co. for nearly $10 billion in 2019. Disney was required by the Department of Justice to sell the networks for its acquisition of 21st Century Fox’s film and television assets to be approved. Diamond Sports is in Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings in the Southern District of Texas. Diamond said in a financial filing last fall it had debt of $8.67 billion. Despite the Padres having baseball's third-biggest payroll ($257 million) and a roster headed by Manny Machado and Fernando Tatis Jr., Diamond cited the amount of rights payments to the Padres and small market area compared to other reginal networks for why it was backing out. “We have been preparing for this groundbreaking moment,” Padres CEO Erik Greupner said in a statement. “The Padres are excited to be the first team to partner with Major League Baseball to offer a direct-to-consumer streaming option through MLB.TV without blackouts while preserving our in-market distribution through traditional cable and satellite television providers.” Diamond owned 80% of Bally Sports San Diego with the Padres having the other 20%. It was one of six Diamond regional networks where MLB teams are minority owners. The others are the Cincinnati Reds, Kansas City Royals, Los Angeles Angels, Miami Marlins and St. Louis Cardinals. With the Padres off Bally Sports, Diamond has the rights to 40 professional teams — 13 baseball, 15 NBA and 12 NHL. A hearing will be held on Wednesday whether Diamond can reduce its rights fees payments to the Cleveland Guardians, Minnesota Twins, Texas Rangers and Arizona Diamondbacks
