  1. Tonites score flattered the kings. Canucks played them out of their own rink. Could have been 8-0. Miller and Bo were monsters out there. I guess you really do lose like that to a team like that.
  2. If we assume that Brock signs for about $7m there is no way they can reach the salary cap. Capfriendly shows the Canucks with over $4m in cap space with a roster of 25 players. So when Brock signs, 3 players will go on waivers, traded, or sent to minors. If the Canucks drop their cheapest 3 forwards ( excluding EP40) that will free up $3m straight away. The salary cap is a non issue for he Canucks. Roussel on LTIR is very likely, but not likely to be required.
  3. I thought that was the case too, but how could you determine which players would make up the 23 man roster if the roster has not been set?
  4. Yes they do. And if they put their entire bottom six forwards on LTIR they still wouldn't get half way there. The maple leafs roster is horribly lopsided.
  5. You sir have done a better post than the combined efforts of the rest of us on CDC put together. Great job. Thank you for including clips of Rick Rypien and Luc Bourdon. Now quit posting. The next one will dilute your reputation.
  6. I heard that Pratt - Taylor poker argument live. It was the funniest 20 minutes of radio I have ever heard. No I won't be listening.
  7. Doesn't a boomerang always come back to you. Got a feeling his words might. No one likes us. We don't care.
  8. CGY still the best team in the Pacific but not as good as last year SJ squeeze in, they have too many good young players to fall out of the picture completely. ARI will come second in Pacific. VAN will be 3rd in the division, go on to lift the Stanley Cup I think that age catches up with Fleury and VGK narrowly misses the playoffs for the first time in franchise history. STL should be one of the top teams in the Central, so long as Binnington has another good year. NSH too good to miss the playoffs. COL will be one of the best improved teams and will have the best top line in the NHL. WIN will take a step back and poor defence will cost them too many points. They beat DAL for 4th place in Central. DAL, VGK are competitive but come up short. EDM, LA, ANA, MIN and CHI all competing for lottery draft pick.
  9. I heard a rumour that Gaborik has bought a house in Vancouver. But I heard that back in 2009.
  10. Ferland - Pettersson - Boeser Pearson - Horvat - Miller Leivo - Sutter - Baertschi Virtanen - Beagle - Motte Edler - Myers Hughes - Tanev Benn - Stecher Markstrom / Demko Fantenberg, Biega, Eriksson in press box Roussel LTIR Gaudette, Shaller & Goldobin in Utica, Waived or traded
  11. Yeh but he can still offer sheeted right???...….joking
  12. The longer this plays out the more I'm thinking that Dubas wants Marner to sign an offer sheet. The leafs only have $3.7m in cap space left, according to capfriendly. If they matched an offer sheet they would still have to shed $4m-$7m in cap space. If he signs an offer sheet and the leafs can get 4 1st round picks as compensation, Dubas can sell that to there fans. The media would spin that as a masterstroke even though the rest could see it a complete asset management failure.
  13. You do realise that if Tryamkin comes back and plays with Myers, the Canucks have 13' 3" tall defence. Put Myers on Tryamkin's shoulders and he could touch the jumbotron
  14. The cynic in me thinks that the 7x7 rumours were put out there to by Canucks organization. Now it looks like they got a real bargain because people were expecting more term and cap space.
  15. I never thought the CDC community would have a higher IQ than another online community. I guess I was wrong. "There are only 2 things that are infinite. The Universe and human stupidity. And we're not sure about the Universe" - A. Einstein
  16. Some people have no idea of the price of a loaf of bread
  17. If the Canucks do manage to trade this contract be prepared to give up an asset as a sweetener. It might cost you Jake V or Adam G. TOR had to give up a first round pick to shake off one year of Marleau's contract. LE is younger but has 3 more years. Yikes.
  18. Agreed. I just can't see any situation whereby they trade Matthews. It's probably the right thing to do but even Rogers Sportsnet could not spin that into a positive story for their beloved Toronto customers.
  19. Toronto get good value for these 2 players but they are far from out of the woods. Capfriendly shows they have less than $7m cap space with 18 roster players and Marner still to sign. If they do manage to offload the Zaitsev contract, that would free up $4.5m, leaving $11.5m. I still can't see how they sign Marner and 5 other roster players. They have to trade 2 out Zaitsev, Kadri or Nylander, without taking back any salary. That's going to be tough.
  20. The real importamt contract is Petey's which will come in to effect in 2021. That's the year when cap space will be crucial. Another thing to bear in mind is the next US tv contract. I've heard that the new NBC contract could be a huge windfall for the league and this affects hockey related revenue and consequently the cap.
