Oldmanpower Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Respect to Big-Z. However Marchand is a weasel. No more trades. I like our team. Lets grow from within. We need help, call up from Comets. We have a good mix of skill, veterans and leadership. Let it ride JB! What a great Saturday night. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need a physical Dman to upgrade the 3rd pair or in case of injury. Then we good. When Boeser gets back into lineup watch out. 2 legit scoring lin3s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6string Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) So from now to Monday our CDC traders have their fingers crossed that they don't trade Stecher. You know who you are lol. Edited February 23, 2020 by 6string Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post captainhorvat Posted February 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2020 Guys like Pearson, Toffoli, Beagle and Miller are guys that will really help lead this team for hopefully a long playoff run.

I wanted to be positive about Benn this season, but the Canucks are a much better team with Fantenberg in there instead. He is faster and more physical than Benn. I would be surprised if we don't re-sign Fantenberg. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High and Inside Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I really hope we keep Stetch for the remainder of the season. A heart and soul player and he showed tonight that he really wants to be here. I think it’s fair to let this group go into the playoffs together. I’ve met the guy personally and I know his love for Vancouver. Lot of respect for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHL rocks Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I think best leave Toffoli on EP line when BB gets back. They make a good line. BB can play with Horvat, be the scorer small forward on that line. Bo and Pearsson both good wall players and physical. EP needs a guy like Toffoli more. He plays a harder game and finds open space. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post EoH Posted February 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2020 Just going to say that Hughes is just insane. For a rookie to be putting up points like him, and seeing him skate like the wind every game is just f***en incredible. Quick, agile, and shots always to the net, it’s truly amazing what he does. Never the strongest guy or hardest shot, but he just makes things happen. Also seems to be a rookie that doesn’t seem to be ‘hitting that wall’ as the season progresses as well. If I had to choose one I would say that Hughes is even more important to the team than Pettersson, but I believe that’s another topic that can be debated for miles. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sucks when it happens to you but you have to put it behind you and move on. Hopefully they'll take it out on the Flames you know I get that you have to move on, but I don't believe I have ever not heard Green say that the other team is a good team, but I guess it would just be too much for the Bruins ego to ever do that. our guys played an awesome game and I am sure Canuck fans everywhere are still cheering, I know I am GO CANUCKS GO!!!

We'd better lock this kid up now, we won't be able to afford him down the road Whatever it takes, Jimmy. We've never had a Dman of his calibre and I'd like to be able to enjoy his remarkable nature for the next 15-20 years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a huge LE hater and I’ve thought hes been getting to much praise for being a good, not great defensive player. I can’t wait till he’s gone but he did play good tonight not just defensively but offensively too for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JamesB Posted February 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2020 2 minutes ago, Crabcakes said: I think that part of this is the chemistry and culture that the Canucks have. Benning really doesn't want to have another "Black Hole" year as he calls them and he's pushing for the playoffs. Buffalo has missed the playoffs 8 seasons in a row and it has become normal. It's really hard to break out of that. I think that this is one of the points that was lost on Linden. @Crabcakes, you asked about buying out Loui next summer after paying his bonus. I still don't think it would make sense to buy him out. Whether the bonus is paid or not does not make any difference. Bonuses cannot be bought out. They are paid in full and count fully against the cap, whether there is a buyout or not. In Loui's 6 year contract for 36 million, most is bonus money -- 28 million. So, in each year 28/6 = 4.666 is counted against the cap for bonus money even if the Canucks buy him out. The remaining money is salary and that counts 1.3333 against the cap for a total cap hit of 6 million per year. The Canucks could buy out the last two years of the salary money. But they would still have to pay Loui 2/3 of his remaining salary money -- stretched out over 4 years instead of 2. In terms of the cap, I think they would save only about 1 million per year for the next two years but then would increase their cap hit by about 333,000 per year for the 2 years after that. They would be better off sending him to Utica, as they would save a 1 million a year off the cap with no later penalty. (And he might retire.) There is some chance his contract might be tradeable this summer after paying the bonus if there is a team that needs to hit the cap floor without paying out real money. Loui's cap hit will be 6 million per year but the team would only need to pay 2.5 million a year in real money. (And Louie's NTC changes so that he can "only" rule out 15 teams.) But right now, I think he is providing some value (nowhere near 6 million of course), but that is why he had not been sent to Utica. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
