Popular Post Elias Pettersson Posted July 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 25, 2021 I just realized we literally have 2 complete 1st unit power plays: Hoglander Boeser Horvat Pettersson Hughes Garland Miller Podkolzin Rathbone OEL First unit has 4 forwards and Hughes, with Boeser and Petey playing their off wings for the one timer and Hoglander behind the net causing havoc for the goalie. Second unit has 3 forwards and 2 D. More traditional PP and with Garland and Podkolzin on their off wings for the one timer. Both PP units could be elite. 1 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If their feelings are hurt move them out Agree that's what a contender has......but only if you have a player that's as good or better than Miller in his place on the top line. Should Pearson be on the second line getting more minutes than Miller?!!! Are you going to play all top three lines evenly distributed? I want two very good scoring lines and a third line that's very good at shutting down while contributing some goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got worried that I would have to wait for a lighting strike to hit the town clock before I got to come back to CDC in the year 2021. Their hockey insight is about as up to date. We're gonna mop the floor with Cal for years to come. if you talk to a flames fan, they will tell you their roster is much much better than ours. a team that has Lucic, Pitlick and Ritchie on it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckNORRIS4Cup Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 In the end I do like the trade, no more Edler so I'll take OEL, no first round player well we got Garland who's NHL ready, and he plays like a top 10 so I'll take that, he is a little small does worry me a bit because one bad hit is all it can take, but he has some grit in him he's definitely no push over so that's good. Then the best part Eriksson is finally gone , then moving a couple players who were taking up cap space and dealing with injuries, seems good, but then it gets interesting here due to players not signed yet. They have 18.7M roughly in cap space, but need to sign Pettersson, Hughes, Garland, Dickinson, another RD then decide if they want another center or Miller plays Center, couple bottom forwards. I would speculate Pettersson Hughes and Garland combined will be pushing around $15-20M in combined cap space, doesn't leave much to fill RD and Dickinson and other bottom guy and another center possibly.... I would definitely speculate buyouts soon or Holtby moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can tell he's a gym rat. He could probably play at 200 pounds. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't be offersheeted but that would mean he would miss camp and might be annoyed with Canucks brass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtanen’s salary is as good as gone whether he’s moved or bought out so that’s at least ant extra $2.5 mil so we’re getting pretty close. Jim did say he still needs to move some salary so probably Holtby like you say. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you wait until the season started to sign Hughes and have him miss the entire training camp and preseason? That's nuts... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And last year they only managed 1 win against the 12th place Western Conference team. So lost 7 of their last 8 playoff games, but yeah, they're doing just fine. That’s not how it works. They made the playoffs after how many years? That’s how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our right side is really weak. Myers and Schmidt playing his off side. If Hammonic walks we’re in big trouble 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My feeling is that the organization is ready to cut ties with him. If he’s going to continue playing in North America I think he needs a fresh start somewhere else anyway. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was Arizona I would of rather taken him even with the crap going on over Roussel, unless Benning isn't ready to move him and maybe believes this situation with him will blow over eventually... I believe he could of been moved in this trade if they really were looking to move him or move on from him. Yeah he did mention of potential buyouts so it would only make sense if he can't move anyone.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake will be bought out, and if he gets another chance in the league it will be on a US team (no press) and on a PTO. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
