In that case, just in time to replace Bluegers. Raty will have competition, then. This next season is pivotal for Raty's career if he wants to be an everyday NHLer - in Vancouver or elsewhere.

Per @reporterchris and @PierreVLeBrun, paper moves will be eliminated. If a player is loaned to the AHL, they will have to report every single time and they will also have to play 1 AHL game before his NHL club can recalled him. Bonus for the players who won't be 'papered down' to their AHL salary ...

We would all miss the boos when the Cup is handed out. Or, well, anytime he takes to the ice to talk to the fans. lol.. true. I will say, he handles the boos well. Its almost entertainment now to watch how he chirps back Agreed. I have tried so hard to hate him all these years yet I find I have ...

Ehlers to Carolina. Six years at an AAV of $8.5 million. Not disappointed he didn't sign in Vancouver. Not that it's a wild overpayment, but just doesn't seem like the right fit for that money. Brock comes cheaper (AAV-wise, but a year longer), and Ehlers doesn't play centre. We'll see if that's ...

[ I don't think anyone is counting on Cootes to be a 2C any time soon - if ever. I expect he will be in 4 or 5 years. A few games in year 3. 30 games year 4 as a 4th liner, and 60 games year 5 as a mostly ready 2/3 center. Then, 17 more years as a #2 center (40 is the new 32??? Lol). Seriously, a ...

It’s not like he’ll do anything to convince Hughes to stay. It’s not like he’d name his son Quinn or something crazy like that…oh…hang on a second. He already did that, didn’t he. Okay, Conor’s gonna do anything. Hughes gonna feel max pressure. lol Wait, did that really happen? Close enough. The kid ...

At some point we have to see what we have in Raty. This is the year to let him prove himself. A centre may come free into the season. Maybe not. But lets not rush it. HW, if you listen to the media 2/3 of league are looking for a #2 C. A trade will be damn expensive and any UFA will damn expensive ...

Bob was legit in a business full of paparazzi level reporting. He was one of the few authoritative voices in his (and TSN's) hockey telecast heyday. The thing I appreciated about him is that he wasn't a shameless Toronto-shill. His successors in the industry in Canada have devolved into ...

Some interesting tidbits, Dhaliwal reporting: - Nucks wanted C.Dvorak, he passed. - Nucks wanted Mikael Granlund, he passed. We would have had a Sea of Granlunds again. :P - Brock had 5 offers on the table for him. He waited out the Nucks and got his 7 yrs. - Nucks trying to move DJ81 & TB53 to ...

If Willander and Mancini make big strides, Hronek could be the piece to move for top 6 help, if needed. For management to fit Hughes' next contract under the cap while leaving scope to improve the top-6, two of D. Petey, Willander and Mancini have to hit on their potential by the end of the 26-27 ...

Might be a Canuck deal there yet.

If Rossi and management don’t reconcile, and Rossi just wants out towards training camp, Guerin may have a distressed asset of his own to deal with.

Never say never.

Was listening to Garland’s remote presser, and he hinted at all the injuries the team went through and played through, the Miller ‘absence’, like it was a bizarrely unlucky/cursed year. If Garland’s comments reflect that of his teammates, there may be a consensus among the remainders that last season ...

Rutherford said we needed to sign 3 top 6 players. 2 out of 3 done. Well we traded for one so does that count? I am liking that we did not make any panic trades nor crazy UFA signings. Of course the day is young. I don’t think management is done this summer by any stretch, but there have been no d ...
