It would signal that Benning was secretly hired by Treliving as “asset manager” in continuation of Calgary eating up Nux sloppy seconds. There is no doubt Little Johnny is leaving. He was snubbed on his last contract negotiations with the Flames. And Gnomes have a long memory. Edited June 21, 2022 by Alflives 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure961089 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 You know what’s sad. I read that he’s “set to sign” and naturally being a Canucks fan for as long as I’ve been that voice in my head said “You know what would be the most Canucks thing ever? If him and the Oilers put up that instagram pick as a prank. Him and the Oilers already have a deal and Connor McDavid and the boys thought it would be funny”. High fives all around. I know it’s sad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustard Tiger Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 9 minutes ago, SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME said: Yeah, I have a strong feeling that Brock Boeser will outperform his next contract, regardless of the term or AAV (or even the team, but hopefully it’s here). 25ish goal average on a bottom feeder, while having to deal with covid ( Imagine having to deal with all that testing / the border ect ) plus the passing of his father. It probably made it 1000x worse knowing for years the day is coming. Ugh I feel for him.. I don't really trust his shoulder shrugg thing he always does all game.. but like I said 4 year in the 6 range I would be good with. He could hit 40+ if our team can all gel. Alot of high end skill on the roster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slegr Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Even though I want to see more size and grit in the lineup, this is a great no-lose addition that gives management more options to tinker other changes. I like that he’s a right handed player too… we needed more of those. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberz21 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 I mean it’s nice we won the derby, curious to see where this could go but my expectations are pretty low. People are acting like we just landed the next Panarin when in fact, the odds are more like we just signed the next Slepyshev. low risk move so worth the shot, but i like I said, my expectations for are pretty low. Really hope that’s not our big move of the summer, otherwise will be a similar season as last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJockitch Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Man a line with Little Johnny and the second Hughes would be a lot of fun to watch but they would need a centre that is about 6’8” 250 to make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provost Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 I love the salty Oilers fans online already revising history saying their team bowed out of the running. Just pretending their brass wasn’t wining and dining him just yesterday and gifting him a signed Gretzky jersey. https://oilersnation.com/2022/06/20/vancouver-canucks-sign-russian-free-agent-edmonton-oilers-target-andrei-kuzmenko/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetterssonOrPeterson Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 (edited) How good should we expect this guy to be? top 6 forward? 20 goal scorer? Edited June 21, 2022 by PetterssonOrPeterson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe 6x7, the 6 being years. Boudreau has got something happening with the change in the culture and hopefully he keeps it going. I'd hate to see a coaching change at the end of the coming season, give him a two year deal at the end of 22/23. Now about that defense! But, it all boils down to, "just win baby". if JR could pull of a 6 year deal at 7AAV he needs to win exec of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM_ Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 3 hours ago, ShawnAntoski said: The Miller sage has certainly kept all of us engaged and the Kuz addition, is a good feather on Allvins' cap. Imo, the situation with Miller is VERY FLUID and good chance, teams that has had a playoff run this season will be looking to add and Allvin should be asking for the moon. Let's enjoy the Finals cause once it is over the phones should start ringing. The Rags, Kings, Devils and more recently, the retooling Flyers are the teams, that I am looking at, as suitors for Miller with the preference on the Devils or Flyers for the 5th pick (JB' favorite spot). I really hope we can find a way to keep Miller, but that 2nd oa from NJ would be a nice consolation prize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curmudgeon Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 3 hours ago, Dr. Crossbar said: Interesting - and perhaps revealing - comment from Rutherford ... re: Miller. Or: It is in Vancouver's best interest for other teams looking for a number one centre to think of Miller as that guy. Also, he couldn't very well say "we have two good centres in Horvat and Petey". By leaving Miller off that list, it telegraphs that he is probably available. It is the difference between Vancouver perceived as being eager to move him and Vancouver being reluctant to move him, meaning the cost goes up. Bottom line, if Allvin doesn't get a good enough offer for Miller, they still have him for another season and JT will be hungry to earn a big payday.

gottalovethosenucks Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Wow didn’t see this coming. Love how the oilers can’t always get what they want by dangling McDrai to solve their problems. this is most certainly the writing on the wall for Brock boeser. don’t get your hopes up Myers will be staying … dude eats minutes for breakfast . Garland isn’t going anywhere either , have another beer Alf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I'm going to predict that Boeser stays on. I think we still have the potential to keep him for good value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
