    The hit was the attempt to prevent it, if he tried using his stick he could have easily poked the puck into his own net. The hit came a fraction of a second after the puck crossed the line, had it not everyone would be saying great hit. I’m sorry, I see no suspendible offence.

    The Canucks have $26.7mill and Change in cap space to work with. With 13 players signed so lets start there. Lets play a game

    I did everything you mentioned Merrill can eat PK mins. I actually see OJ, Bones and Merrill splitting games around 50-60 each unless one breaks out or there are long term injuries.

     

    Granlund and Coleman are both 29 years old those terms I would argue are expectable as they are both getting their last big contracts this season.

    no thanks  they are to old id rather give youth like gadovich lind a chance not signing 28-29 yr olds for 4 yrs thats like more crappy roussel beagle ferland contracts that hurt us  hard pass

    like if we didnt have eriksson myers beagle baertchi roussel sutter benn holtby  on team last yr  wed have had 32 mill extra to go after alex pietrangelo and 2-3 other elite ufas not the garbage we signed

    These rigged games used to get my goat..but no more.

     

    Doesn't matter where they stash JB's pick, he always nabs the glittering gem. I picture sneaky Bettman grinding his teeth over it too.

     

    Wouldn't it be sweeet if NH & VP BOTH wound up the best players from the 2019 class?! Realize highhhhly unlikely, but feel this is the karmic kickin'd'ass the petty lil'boys club, known as NHL Hindquarters royally deserve.

     hoglander and podkolzin def will be in top 5 players that draft   hoglander trains so hard at gym had great first season  and pod would have been top 3 pick if not for khl contract plus hes played versus men since  he was 17   we are gonna suprise teams next yr if petey healthy watch boeser petey hughes hog and pod  and rathbone and juolevi and demko  start dominating  league next yr we just need to get lucky and draft clarke and sign or trade for  a good 3rd line center fingers crossed

    He just signed a contract in the SHL for next season with Skelleftea. My gut says he'll be signed next Summer (if not, we'll lose his rights and I don't the Canucks want to see that happen after trading Dahlen for him).  I do agree, I'm surprised he didn't sign with the Canucks this summer. But a year in the SHL before jumping over to North America isn't a bad idea. Karlsson has had a nice rise since the Canucks acquired his rights and dominated the Allesvensken over the last two years and as a C prospect I hope he can make strides to be an NHLer one day. Our C prospect depth is weak and, as it stands, I think he's gotta be the 2nd or 3rd ranked C prospect in our system. 

     

     

    his contract has a out clause for canucks

    Because they don't want to acknowledge at least Benning has the draft part correctly. It's the player management, and pro scouting that's an issue. 

    Which I say is a fair critique. But not worth the hatred that gets heaped on him. 

     ya agreed i hope benning has a few trades lined up soo we do much better next yr first  of all he needs to fire briwn and baumer  otherwise we might be in on top 5 pick next yr again

    Sure but the barometer is still success in the NHL.  We aren't trying to win the Calder Cup.

    why wouldnt we want our farm team to win calder cup means our prospects are doing good. Bennings drafting is crazy good gillis got us hodgson hutton and horvat   meanwhile we get kids in 5th 6th 7th rounds that are legit pushing for nhl talent.  benning has drafted   petey hoglander boeser hughes demko virtanen mccann forsling  gaudette  tryamkin  brisebois rathbone  juolevi  lind gadovich  and soon to be podkolzin  plus malone mcdonagn plasek utunen jasek zlodeyev  truscott  persson jurmo developing

    But asset management! 

      ya we will see i feel like benning is gonna look at oel trade this summer i cant see  the same team playing in fall

     edler probably walks away unless he wants 900k a yr otherwise he plays elsewhere   left side is locked up  unless we trade for oel then i can see juolevi schmidt  being traded for prospects or picks or a third line c  jenner from blue jackets or konecny flyers coukd be ok targets

    drafting best right dman  available as well 

     

    hughes hamonic 

    oel

    rathbone  myers

    Ovi has already said he only wants to play for Washington and Moscow for his career 

     

    Also Arizona laughs and hangs up at that weak proposal. 

     depends if ownership of coyotes  doesnt wanna go bankrupt they loosing 20 mill every yr before covid   even more now  oel is owed 42 mill thats alot of money  wander if taking eriksson beagle roussel  ferland cap  of 15.5 mill but  ferland on ltir rest of contract   helps them get to  cap floor  but only owe 13.5   mill resl money next yr  and 3.5  i finall yr of ferlands deal    canucks take 42mill of oel contract

     if we manage to win lotto  and benning pulls a oel trade (coyotes dont wanna pq him 42 mill actual Money over 6 more yrs)cap dump  involving eriksson roussel beagle ferland first in 2022  frees to  of cap 

    take a sundin run at ovi for 2 yrs for 26 mill 

    draft power or clarke 

    let myers or holtby go to seattle 

     

              ovi petey podkolzin 

              miller horvat boeser

              pearson         hoglander

              juolevi 

     

              demko

              dipietro

     

               only thing team missing would be a third line center 

               benning could find  a decent faceoff guy for prospects or at free     agency

    Rarely is anyone the same after surgery.  He was basically a PPG player the last few seasons.  I would expect a dip in performance.  Cuz he can't exactly train after surgery (out of game shape) and probably not worth a $10M price tag anymore.  Also you'd basically lose him for 1 season while he recovers.

     

    So no to Eichel.

    ive had 4 surgeries im fine hes got a herniated disc tho he might have to retire thats a major surgery with complications that could make you paralyzed     hes got a 10 mill cap and no ones buying him at full price if anything sabres wil sell him cheap for the cap savings  not sure his stats have ever been worthy of a 10 mill cap long term he isnt mcdavid  he got 18 points this yr

    [Proposal] OEL

    in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing

    9 hours ago, Drakrami said:

    Still scratching my head why people think we can get OEL for very little while dumping Ericsson on them. Most unrealistic wet dream ever. 

     because coyote owners  are deep in debt and oel is owed about 48-49 mill  

    if we gave them schmidt 6 mill 3 yrs

    roussel 3 mill 1 yr and eriksson 1 yr 6 mill  thats 15 mill cap hit compared to oel at 8.25  frees up 6.75 mill  but eriksson only actually owed 3 mill after his bonus is paid   so trade would be 24 mill actual cash 

    mesning owners save 20 mill over term plus they could trade schmidt  for a 1st  so theyd   have to pay out   6 mill real  cash for roussel and eriksson    basically saves coyotes 42mill   and helps them reach cap floor by affjng 9 mill in cap hit
