He s definitely found money for the nux going forward. Hopefully they get him locked up before he becomes a UFA.

Uh ya. Green was doing a better job with Podz just a worse job with everything else... ..oh boy partner. That's a really poor take.

I think BB has taken Podz under his wing. There have been shots of the bench with BB having his hands on Podz shoulder pads in a fatherly way. Watch for this story to come out cuz I think he is helping to produce a great player here.

Bains will definitely play in Abby. He may or may not ever play for the big club. That will depend on his drive and desire and work ethic to get better and better. He is a long shot but by all accounts a good kid with a high motor.

If he felt ready to start his pro career with Vancouver/Abby he would. Honestly no prospect who feels ready for the pros chooses to stay a 4th year in College just to try to win a championship. If he feels ready for the pros but still chose this route - then he wants UFA status in a year. Still disappointing.

At a time when we most need it this will bring Canadians together as one! Old and young, new Canadians and those who's grandparents were born here. All of us, all Canadians, can get behind such a great achievement. Congratulations to the Men's National Team. WOW!!!

The 25 games under Green buried the PK and the stats for players. At 67% under Green 25 games into the year it became impossible for the team to turn the statistics around after Green was canned. Even a great PK the rest of the way would have still leave the team in the bottom 5 of the league - they were that far off. So if you want a useful analysis you have to do two pictures. One for the first 25 games and one for the rest. Otherwise it doesn't mean much.

Motte was worth a 4th on the open market. He wanted a big raise that thankfully the new management would not go for. Next.

Brock's current cap hit is 5.875M. He has said he want to stay here. I expect based on those comments and the fact that he is not a "Tkachuk", he will agree to a contract under his QO. Would expect 6.25M for 5 or 6 yrs. That is less than a 400k raise - does not hurt our cap situation. Next year Nux could add 1 or two of Klimo, Karlsson, Lockwood, McDonough, Rathbone, Martin. These guys will be good young players on cheap deals. We have just saved Hamonic and Motte money. Cap will not be a problem next year especially if we offload Dickinson and/or Poolman. So I don't see the urgency to deal Boeser if he is willing to sign for the above.

Motte worth a 4th? If that was the best offer then yes that was his worth today. Allvin can't create a market that is not there. If more than 1 team offered it could have gone to maybe a 3rd. A 2nd was never likely. So whatever. Keep Motte for 6 weeks or trade him now, who cares. I'd like to see others get a chance as he obviously wasn't willing to sign here for what Van was willing to pay him. Next. I like the Travis Dermot pick up. Saves 1.5M on Hamonic. That's a plus. Other than that nothing happened. Signing Richardson just removes Calgary's ability to call him up in the playoffs if they have injuries. That doesn't suck and cost us nothing. Hopefully the beginning of a trend of letting them know poaching our players will be remembered. Decisions on Miller and Boeser will come in time.

Yup we've got 67 points with 20 games left. Likely need to go 15 - 5 the rest of the way to get in.

Those two actively cheerlead for the bloody Flames. When he yelled Gudreau for 20 seconds the game he scored the winner I threw up...

Rathbone will be a good NHL'er and may turn into a really good one. Trading him would be a mistake.

Explain what you mean exactly. What do you want fans to do?

Hard work on the forecheck every shift will eventually pay off with chances that will go in. Work hard boys let's go!

TB is tired. Canucks gonna come back if they work hard enough. Gut check time boys.

Canucks win = outworking TB in the next 2 periods
