I haven't noticed him here today. He may still be in the fetal position trying to reconcile with this turn of events.

Juulsen signs with Flyers, one year $900,000 Tocchet loves him. Good to see, I always felt he was sometimes overly criticized here. My son said this was a good day for the Canucks, if only because Juulsen is no longer a Canuck - though he would have preferred Juulsen volunteering for the first one ...

Rumours the Canucks have re-signed Boeser!!! Didn’t see that one coming. Official: 7.25 mil per for 7 years. https://x.com/canucks/status/1940086116364988596?s=46&t=hahx9CseQw_Ts1igZokqEQ Well done... Makes sense in that there are no real upgrades at the centre position on the open market and the t ...

A statement on how thin and dry this UFA crop is this year. Fucking crickets.

Word on the street, Demko has agreed to a new contract. Term has been agreed upon. They are still ironing out all the financial details but overall cap is agreed as well. Deal expected to be signed tomorrow. So we are not trading Demko. This was always the most likely outcome. Whatever Šilovs’ or La ...

Second time's the charm, perhaps?

https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/maple-leafs-trying-to-salvage-sign-and-trade-with-mitch-marner/ According to Friedman’s reporting on Sunday’s 32 Thoughts podcast, there is talk that if Marner signs in Vegas without a rights trade, “the Maple leaves will go after Vegas for tampering.” Friedman m ...

Scouting Report on B.Cootes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stVHwkvfPhc It looks like he does have pretty good wheels and the pucks just explodes off his stick pretty quick (reminds me a bit of Kuzzy). Just hope he can get stronger and build some muscle in time. Also would be interesting to see if ...

Might be Teenage Mutant Ninja Hertle being moved out of Vegas to clear cap space if they sign Marner. He’s been playing 2C in Vegas and would be the best name I’ve heard if the Canucks could get him - less than 6m a year as the Sharks are retaining his salary. He'd be a good band-aid solution who co ...

Having to keep tabs on a player earning $11.6 million per year is the concern I suspect management has never been overly impressed with Petey's offseason work ethic, but the kid kept producing and showing promise so likely didn't make a big deal about it and let the coaching staff handle it. Then ...

For Demko, RNH isn’t the return I’d be looking for - I agree he’s overhyped. Giving the Coilers someone that might legitimately win them a cup should cost more than that. Send him back east to CBJ for a centre. CBJ needs Goaltending, I’m seeing a fit there, they have the assets to deal. I’d ask for ...

Are we taking a gamble giving Petey one more chance? I ask this because, if we see no change, the other teams see no change, we are stuck with the asshat and his $11.6. They are rolling the dice here if they are keeping him. Of course they are sticking with Petey. If they didn’t, it would be a full ...

I, too, have a soft spot for Latvians and I’ve been rooting for Šilovs since he was drafted. There’s a lot to love about the kid, and he’s done enough to warrant an NHL job - even as a backup. Lankinen is expensive insurance. At the time of Lankinen’s extension, Śilovs was doing good on the farm but ...

Wonder if this is another Clark pick?

If so, I’ll feel better about spending a 2nd on the kid.

Still, a little short for a Clark pick. Only 6’1”.

Like the Canucks pick, sounds like a decent chance of being a solid 2/3 C. Read his hockey IQ is solid, so that’s good. Reminds me of Kesler. Cootes says he models his game after Brayden Point. If he becomes our version of Point, we should be happy. It will just likely take a year or two realize t ...
