  1. No idea how they perform in CGY though. If they dont fare well that can definitely impact their TDL value. Guaranteed is probably not the wording Id use at this point.
  2. Tkachuk at his age and upside with an extension in place is IMO at the very high end as far as premium assets go. CGY got two expiring contracts, a prospect and a first. Depending on what happens with the soon to be UFAs I think will matter with how the trade is evaluated but as it stands, CGY got far from a guaranteed haul for MT. Contextually it seems like a depressed market (for sellers). The past few big trades shows a reluctance by GMs to give up a ton of high end futures. As the saying goes though, all it takes is one GM to change that but as it stands, Im not banking on JTM fetching a massive haul. And there is risk hanging onto him in the hopes of a big trade. But I understand from mgmts perspective that they need to get value back as well. So for example if there is any merit to the following rumour, I would be ecstatic if the Canucks could pry Newhook OR Byram from the avs (unlike the newhook + byram + 1st a lot of people said would make them CONSIDER a trade, which seems crazy in hindsight)
  3. The Tkachuk trade (w extension) only confirms that presumed haul JT would fetch is far from guaranteed to happen. Its going to be a risky bet holding onto him. Hope it works out though.
  4. The discussion was regarding how Torts communicates with different types of players, which led to MDZ talking about Laine. He wasnt trying to put Laine on blast but Torts appreciates effort, and re: Laine MDZ basically affirmed what seemed like common knowledge btw them all: Laine is lazy.
  5. Give the Spittin’ Chicklets interview w MDZ re: Laine a listen.
  6. Dang. I was checking up on him on capfriendly last night / daydreaming how he could fit into the Canucks line up. Heck of a deal for NSH too. Thats like the ultimate ringer deal.
  7. Mr. Klingberg…..cant see it happening at all. Would be a huge gamble on a guy at his age, coming to a new team and stylistically not really what the Canucks need. For a guy that puts up points that a pretty terrible plus/minus. OEL already doesnt get the PP time henought to get because of Hughes-why in the heck would you add Klingberg to that? Canucks need defensemen that can excel 5 on 5 and push the pace. Stay away from older pricey UFAs. IMO if there arnt deals that work to the Canucks advantage just run it back again. Meyers will get easier to trade as time goes on. If Poolman can get healthy and shows well under Bruce that’s a great sign. Need Rathbone/Dermott/Burroughs to show well again. Id rather see what these guys can do and from there. If you can use Miller to acquire a high upside young D then fantastic.
  8. way too much of a gamble for the obvious reasons. If this mirrors the Duchene trade he will be dealt before the roster freeze. Hopefully before the season starts
  9. Stranger Things S4 I was annoyed the entire timd
  10. Im very high on Hoagie. He makes a ton of stuff happen with his playmaking ability/puck control. Hes got stuff to improve on as any young players does, but the upside is for sure there.
  11. Stranger Things sold out.

      I enjoyed the first part of the season, but I agree, not a fan of the second part.

    2. Drive-By Body Pierce
  12. Predictions on where UFA Motte lands? Contract? Im betting he didnt think he was going to be still waiting for a contract at this point.  His rumoured ask of 2million + from the Canucks seems to have backfired.

      Does EDM even have enough cap space to overpay yet another player?

      I'd take him in a heart beat over Richardson tbh

       

      this is assuming we keep Miller

  13. Yeah I hear you-it was just interesting to hear such a mixed reaction to it. He has a lot of attributes I like.
  14. So Frank Seravalli thinks IM is the biggest UFA overpayment second to Guddy….yikes. Anyhow, gotta see how he plays first. Hes got some nice attributes. Finding the right line-mates will be key. Btw Bo or EP there’s some very different but hopefully good options.
  15. E3: Canucks & Klingberg

      Is this guy legit though?

      99.9 % it’s BS but lets all have a good chuckle about it.

      Yuck.  Need D who can actually play defence.

  16. I like Miller, but the Johnny G situation probably illustrates the JTM situation to a tee. Now if he re-signs (assuming a fair deal-highly unlikely I know) Id happily eat my words.
