Gurn Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 2 hours ago, HKSR said: Do you really feel that 18 goals and 55 points for $6.65M is what teams are shopping for? Looking at forwards around his age making between $6M and $7M: Connor - 26yo - $7.1M = 31 goals 80 points Thompson - 25yo - $7.1M = 47 goals 94 points Nylander - 27yo - $7M = 40 goals 87 points Boeser - 26yo - $6.65M = 18 goals 55 points Reinhart - 27yo - $6.5M = 31 goals 67 points Guentzel - 28yo - $6M = 36 goals 73 points Pretty darn obvious Boeser is overpaid at the moment given his production in comparison to others around his age range and cap hit. Brock is the 10th leading scorer from his draft class, where he was drafted #23. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Did Drance say something about P.A. indicating that Miller is going to be a 'shutdown' guy next season? I missed stuff as I was going between my car and my home computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what they're looking for at 3C. It's going to be a tough find tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hope is we get that 3rd line centre to alleviate this issue so Miller doesn’t have to play this role as much 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it means that Brock is nowhere near as bad as many of the haters around here would have us believe. Injuries and life issues have affected his play, but he wants to be here and he has a very clear idea about what Tocchet expects from him. I believe he will be ready to go at training camp and that he will earn a spot on the top line. Unless, of course, he is injured again. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he's terrible, I just think he's near impossible to move right now given his production, injury history, cap hit, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how they play Hughes and Demko into the ground to win meaningless games, then try to pay assets to move up in the draft. 2 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn’t one core player that actually care more about a draft pick over giving every they’ve got to get into the playoffs, even if the chances are slim. Their actually fighting for their own jobs as well as protecting other current roster players jobs. Edited June 22, 2023 by chon derry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s so so on the pp. He contributes little unless he has the puck in the o zone. And even then he’s not very direct with his play. I’d try , Garland and our 11th ( perhaps a prospect as well) to Arizona For their 6th . ( we pick best Dman available) one would think it’s about time AZ incorporated some vet presence. The other player I see AZ has coming into UFA is Bret Ritchie,. 29. He actullay has good soft hands . Look solid on the 2nd or 3rd line. not necessarily a “Driver” type player, but becomes one of with one. Great Heavy game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammertime Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 4 hours ago, Mike Vanderhoek said: Why is Boeser impossible to move now ? do you believe the Friedman's of the World when they suggest competing clubs like the player, would be ideal if one or two million less caphit but the deal breaker was his remaining term lol. He produces and is likely not moving because he holds value to the Canucks moving forward. 101st in scoring last year among all forwards. He produces only because he's being carried. Play him on the 3rd and see how he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughes OEL and Myers were all overplayed having the balance of the rest of dman being ahl call ups. When Hughes went down they mobilized bear as soon as they could. This is where hronek will benefit both Hughes and hopefully Myers. As for demko missing 7 weeks I’m sure he was more than happy to make up for lost time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
