Re: How did Jimmy do

I would give him a B+ for right now. The term for who he signed is not crazy and I don't think will come to bite us in the ass later. The problems we are having now are for contracts that were signed a few years ago. Sutter's is bad due to injuries. Eriksson's, is well, my god, that is an awful sig...

Agreed, fuck recapture, but Jimbo has known this is a possibility for as long as he’s been here in Van. Not hard to budget for it if you can see it coming from a mile away. It’s not a valid excuse.

Re: Free agent FRENZY thread. July 1, 2019

A poster on reddit swears up and down ferland is coming here on a 4x4 contract, space just needs to be cleared. Says he has a source (sounded like it’s player or agent related not canuck front office related), take it for what it’s worth, but at 4x4 I’d love ferland. The team can go 10% over the ca...

Re: 2019 offseason

Hey Strange, always great to hear from you. Tell me, has Jimbo ever made a move that you’ve even slightly, sort of or maybe even thought of disagreeing with? :D Oh hell yes, I never hesitate to hammer on Jimmy when I feel he screws up. It all started many years ago, right about here in fact: http:/...

Offseason grades so far

With the caveat that there’s still lots of time to make extra moves, my thoughts on what Jimbo et al have down so far: Draft - B+ - this would have likely been an A had they not traded away their 3rd rounder. Podz was a good, risky pick at 10. He wasn’t what I expected but then again I didn’t think ...

Re: Free agent FRENZY thread. July 1, 2019

Full NMC for Myers next year, then full NTC for 2 years and MNTC for the last 2. About what was expected. Hi DieHard... As someone who isn't a fan of UFA day, gotta admit that for the most part the dollars handed out so far around the league have been reasonable when you consider that the back half...

Re: 2019 offseason

Gardiner and Myers will be aiming for seven years not five. Yep and they will likely get it. I'd be shocked if Jimbo isn't right in there offering huge money to both. So Benning-basher Diehard is in shock then, interesting... 8M is too high for Myers. Let him look elsewhere. My limit would be 6M x ...

Re: Free agent FRENZY thread. July 1, 2019

Panarin to the Rangers. That’s one heck of a rebuild going on, new #1 dman and new #1 winger along with a ton of prospects and a good cap situation means they will be contenders for years to come. To think it only took 5 years to gain a ton of assets and become a contender again. Amazing what can b...

Tsn website showing Benn to Anaheim.
Shows Van when I look. May have been a typo.
