  1. My rage is ready and waiting.... I will withhold my declaration of oiler destruction until then tho
  2. If the difference btw the Canucks offer is a million + - an extra year or two I will probably be the most bitter person on this board. Someone might have to ban me from Canuck/Oiler GDTs
  3. The point was that all the players mentioned needed extra time in their career to figure it out.
  4. OK.  Looks like Matt Benning is going to be an UFA.  I think he would be a great fit but get the feeling he doesn't want his uncle to be a distraction

      He probably won't be signed here. Benning's gonna cost too much and I think the nepotism factor between him and Jim may mean he avoids signing Matthew. Watch him end up in Pittsburgh or something.

      His likely QA would've been around $2 million.  That's WAY too much for us (given our present cap situation).  If he's looking for the league minimum (which would fit our structure), the Coilers could just as well beat that by half a million.

      Oooof Coilers get 13 games out of Athanasiou for two 2nd round picks. Benning would have been drawn and quartered for letting that happen.

  5. I bet it's just his agent posturing. Markstrom is the hold up and that will probably be resolved somewhat soon
  6. I dont think anyone would disagree that Virtanen hasnt yet given it 100%, and re-signing him definitely comes with some risk but you never know. Took Kassian forever to figure it out/dedicate himself. Miller too. Jake's problem is similarly between the ears and putting the time in. For all we know, Jake thinks he could have been better in the playoffs as well and might be more motivated to take that extra step. I know, maybe its just wishful thinking as Im not around Jake.
  7. Sat Shah on Marky negotiation:

      Time to see what Demko can do.  If Toffoli also walks I want us to go all in for Pietrangelo.

      @King Heffy I cant see them losing Markstrom and Toffolii- I would be very surprised.  Markstrom is the lynchpin holding things up.  If it looks like Markstrom is priced out I bet they get Toffoli signed asap & find someone to split duties with Demko

      $10 million/ 2 year contract ($5 AAV), no clause, but a statue to immortalize him outside Rogers Arena for his MVP seasons.  Hope they don't give him more than Lehner, and certainly not more term.  

  8. Would love to see the Canucks acquire MAF + asset to split time with Demko .
  9. Just to be clear, VGK are asking to take 50 percent of MAF's salary only. Player not included
  10. Status Update 2:  so for the longest time fans wanted to see the canucks get younger.  Has that changed?  If canucks can’t move money out chances are you’ll see more young players in the line up so long as they can earn it.....rather than some of the players names being bandied about?  

     

  11. Canucks twitter going ape $&!#.  Gotta love this team eh

      isn’t this site the total opposite on every issue though? Either way isn’t great

      @Zhukini I dont know about opposite.  Id say there are a lot of cooler heads on this forum, and of course the ra-ra types as well.  Pretty fair balance btw the two

      CDC: *sh*ts itself, site crashes*

      Jim: "hello?  Rhonda?  I'll be home for dinner.  K Bye"

      CDC: *still out cold from shock*

  12. Well UFA is Friday. Still lots of time to get a deal done depending on what happens
  13. Kind of wish I watched ARZ more closely this year as I'm more of an eye test kind of guy.
  14. To ARZ Eriksson Demko Juolevi Ritchie To BOS OEL To VAN Carlo BOS pick I don't know BOS cap situation though
  15. In terms of physicality he's a major upgrade. Hockey wise, Fanta was great but Dillon is a gamer too. Good all around d man that can move the pretty well for a big guy. It's the price tag and term that are probably the downgrade.
  16. I think the first 5 years were to rebuild the organization from the top down. Now it will be interesting to see how he can tweak the team to become a cup contender
  17. At first I was like hell nah but all this chatter is making me interested. The back half of oel's contract is eriksson 2.0 all over again though.
