Maybe the piece in the Simmonds rumors. I guess that means Rafferty will get a showing sooner than later. Not usually a good idea to dump D before the stretch run. Would be wise to move him after the season and before the draft for some picks. His QO will put him at 2.65m and I'm not sure the Canucks want to spend that on a #6D.

Towards the end of the Canucks edit, when asked about MacEwen, Benning says he expects him to make the team out of camp and stick with the club. He should be a nice, cheap, physical addition.

Everyone needs to chill with this playoff stuff. We've won 2 of the last 7, playoffs are far from guaranteed.

Just found out Toffoli's wife is some kind of coordinator for the Dodgers; that might be enough to put him back in LA at season's end.

I thought i saw they had Madden as a guest call-in on one of the Vancouver radio stations like 5 mins before the trade.

With the news of Boes out: Miller - Pettersson - Virtanen Pearson - Horvat - Toffoli Roussel - Gaudette - Sutter MacEwen - Beagle - Eriksson PP1: Miller - Horvat - Toffoli Pettersson - Hughes PP2: Pearson - Gaudette - Virtanen Sutter - Myers

Haha, needs to add about 30 lbs before playing pro.

Would have been sweet if we got anywhere close to the prices this season for guys like Vrbata, Hamhuis and Vanek in years past.

3 weeks before Boes is even evaluated. UGh.

Well that explains it.

Mixed feelings about this one. I'm also a little concerned as to where this leaves Boeser, are we acquiring a scoring RW because BB6 could be out a while? Losing Madden hurts, but if I were to put a knock on him it would be his unchanged weight 2 years after being drafted. He's still a very slight 160lb, if he can't put on weight I doubt he could be very effective. Jb seems to like adding 2nds to make things happen. I would have liked for more cap to have been moved, namely Baertschi would have made this more palatable as his cap proceeds into next year. Toffoli! Bo finally gets a winger! I'm half-kidding. Will we see a resurrection of 'that 70s line' but with Horvat in the middle? We got a proven playoff performer and consistent 50 point guy. I have no idea how we're bringing Toffoli back next season, in addition to Tanev/Markstrom, there just isn't enough money. Does the organization know something (Ferland retirement, Eriksson termination) that we don't?

I'll consider Juolevi a prospect again when he can finish a bag skate. No way he's getting a pass at training camp.

Hughes - Rafferty Rathbone - Woo Juolevi - Tryamkin Impressive crop. I don't think any of our other depth D is worth a mention.

I'd do if Tanev walks. Would Buff do it though?

We need to hop on this. Give the Isles any of our glut of experienced bottom 6 forwards, i assure you we won't miss them. That or trade with Columbus, who has no picks in the first 3 rounds and has 5 mil in cap space before LTIR. Our only concern should be cap space beyond this season. We won't be buyers but if we can move cap without disrupting what our team has, you gotta do it. Isles: Sutter Van: 2nd --- Columbus: Baertschi 3rd Van: Harrington ---- BONUS MTL: Jo. Benn Van: 6tth Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. A man can dream. Imagine being able to keep our crew together and being able to extend our young talent, that should be the motivating factor.

Time for a cap dumparoo! If they want Sutter or Beagle, have at em. Any salary lost beyond this year would be tremendous.

Line up last night: Pearson - Pettersson - Virtanen Miller - Horvat - MacEwen Roussel - Gaudette - Sutter Bailey - Beagle - Eriksson Schaller IR: Ferland, Leivo, Boeser In 2-3 weeks with everyone healthy: Pearson - Pettersson - Virtanen Miller - Horvat - Boeser Ferland - Gaudette - Leivo Roussel - Beagle - Sutter Eriksson I don't think we need deadline help.

Fantastic game. I had to switch between the final and the Canucks game during OT. MccDonough with a monster night - 1g 3a, including feeding the point for the OT winner. I'm very impressed by him. Madden had the 2-1 goal, he took a pair of really bad penalties, otherwise good. NE champs!

That game was brutal. We needed pushback. If Schaller isn't going to show up in games like that, even just to get punched in the face, then we have no use for him. I know MacEwen will actually throw down when needed. We needed Ferland in this one.

you actually thought they were spreading snow on a main causeway?

Say what you will about social media, but I sure as heck don't trust China's numbers.

I watch Utica games, he's improved as of late. Though it seems every season we wish to excuse him for a surgery in the prior season. He was deemed good to go for training camp until the bag skate set him back, so it was a fair comment.
