Boeser will get a short bridge deal, then will be locked up for the max 8 years for big coin. He already has ND teammate Stecher here along plus his good friend Gaudette coming in, and will be a leader and major piece of the new core as the team starts its upswing. i seriuosly doubt boeser gets a bridge deal you sign him 8 yrs at 7 mill per hes worth the money basically that contract takes him to 29 yrs old with multiple cups in 2-3 yrs a hart and multiple richard trophies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont get me wrong boeser is amazing as well I thought he was a top 10 talent in his draft year and when Boston wiffed on 3 picks in a row I was sad cuz Edmonton got a gift but they traded the pick for Griffin freaking Reinhart lol. Which is almost as bad as Boston striking out. I wish Benning traded for that pick. Walk away from that draft with Barzal and Boeser. However maybe if he does there’s no guarantee Benning doesn’t just take Boeser earlier or in the trade involves our 1rst rounder and we don’t have Boeser at all.

Would like to see virtanen in ot. His straight away speed should make it a no brainer to have him out there green is babying him along with his time and different situations which is good for him but to get more production from him I’d like to see him in front of the net on the pp as well Virtanen is not really the guy that plants himself in front of the net and battles for position. He mostly just takes the puck and storms down the wing. He seems to be better in situations where he can just use his speed and not think. About a year ago McKenzie on his podcast was talking Virtanen. He says that the Canucks were aware that Virtanen had limited hockey sense when they drafted him but thought his physical tools would compensate. He says anything beyond straight lines is challenging for him. Ferraro was talking a couple of months back about how he is overwhelmed when things get more complex. It feels unfair to put him in a situation where he has to think and try and read plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not having his Twin to pass to and make him look good showed us exactly what we are getting now for our $7m. and imo it's not much. It confirmed what I have been saying, they need each other to look good and they need to retire this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd just make the playoffs and get instantly knocked out. Now wouldn't that be the orgasmic satisfaction folks around here are hoping for.

We can't forget that the workload this year is way bigger than anything he's had before. You're right and he is also the one carrying the weight of scoring since Sutter, Bo and Sven went down. He will get a 5 day break now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spook007 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 10 hours ago, MoneypuckOverlord said: to be honest I'm a little worried he will decide to leave us when his UFA time comes. OF course that's his right, but worried. I really like Boeser. Kids always smilin and so humble and professional. should be back by the end of the month . How many years before that will be an issue? Once he has been here a few years, and we become a better team, he may and probably will feel, this is his team. Pay him what he is worth, when the time comes and I'd say there's better than an average chance of him staying. Agree he is the poster boy of every mothers dream son-in-law... An absolute gem. And a real team player..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mll Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 11 hours ago, NHTyrany said: Seemed Jake was the only forward hitting tonight. Dowd was at least gritty but the rest were typically shinnying their way around the rink. I hope Benning fixes this for next year. Starting with a couple of big FAs from Sedin cap space. If they don't bring speed - it's the Wild. The Wild have some big bodies but they are mostly teddy bears so they traded for Foligno and signed him 2.9 x 4 years. Big fail. They can probably squeak in the playoffs but going on a run - unlikely. The teams around them got faster and they are too slow to keep up. The Wild were a fast team but not anymore with how quickly other teams improved their speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's having the season now most hoped he would have had his first year here. I'm not buying Ray's "analysis" tbh, Jake has improved a lot defensively and you can't be unaware and do that. I can't remember the last time I heard Ferarro say something interesting, other than when he didn't know who Gadjovich was during the WJs. I'd like to see a 2 year extension for Jake and see what more Green can do with him in that time before we make the call that he can't read plays, it will come. Some guys just need more time.
