Re: Canucks Young Guns

Agreed with this, the trade for Lindholm has been a complete failure so far. Don’t know if it was the Swedish connection but that needs a redo. I feel the Aquas and their damn impatience are all over this deal. Seemed like a good idea at the time. Kuz wasn't doing anything, and adding some depth fo...

Team needs to get the PP figured out; or we are gonna be lucky to win 2 games in the playoffs.

Re: OOTS 2023-2024

Toronto is going to get skullfucked by the Bruins or the Panthers in the first round. Great forward group but that D is paper mache and they have bottom 10 goaltending. Time to trade Marner. Not his fault but you can’t win paying 4 forwards 50 million. Shanahan, who I loved as a player, has got to ...

Re: Canucks News N Notes 23-24

Well, if you let Hronek go (or trade him) now, Hughes might get it in his head that the team never signs his partner (Tanev, Schenn). What if we sign Tanev instead? I'm not necessarily against signing Tanev. but as a replacement to Hronek.... he's 35 years old. Exactly. plays down the lineup, excep...

Re: Canucks News N Notes 23-24

How does keeping Hughes' best D he ever played with, one year longer than Hughes current contract, show anything? That Hughes shouldn't sign here long term because after one year Hronek will no longer be here? Why would we want to lose a 28 year old right side top line D to UFA in 2 years for nothi...

Re: Canucks News N Notes 23-24

Wonder if Hronek / Van would sign a bridge deal (say 2 years at 7.5-8) - he knows it walks him to UFA, in his prime - while putting up big numbers playing top minutes with Hughes. Then sign the home run contract (elsewhere). This gets him paid. And buys time for a few D prospects to get some time i...

Re: Canucks News N Notes 23-24

The reason you give Hronek an 8 year contract is to bring down the salary. Could also theoretically bring down the salary by front loading it and adding a NMC. $7M x 8 then. (last 2 seasons being partial-NTC) If he insists on more, trade him for a haul. While I understand the reasoning behind a lon...

Re: 24/25 Predictions - Which FA Forwards will be back next season?

D-wise it's pretty straightforward. Hronek and Myers are back. Adios Zadorov and Cole. Myers is only back if will take less than 3 million.. Remember Gudbrandson signed for 4 million, which means some one will pay 6'8" (name rhymes with 'Tire Fyres') 4.5+ million.. you wanna be that GM here in Vanc...

Re: 24/25 Predictions - Which FA Forwards will be back next season?

The further we go in the playoffs, the more likely guys will be willing to take a haircut to return. Of course, there's a chance we win the whole she-bang... then nobody is going to care who comes back or not :D The other side of this coin is the further we go in the playoffs, more the tweeners hav...

Re: Canucks News N Notes 23-24

late to the party, but I'd hate to think that Hughes has an issue with Hronek being paid more than him, when he's on a bridge deal. Hughes is gonna get paid.. what.. 13+ x8 in a few years? If Hronek takes an 8 year deal, this is likely his last deal. I'd take him at 8-8.5. Dropping him from the tea...

Using comparables, Hronek is worth about 7-7.2/year .......
