Re: Canucks News N Notes 2020-2021

Too many bad contracts on the team to compete in FA, to lose Tanev for 4.5 is a shame. Glad we didn't trade for the other future boat anchor today. I'm not sure how we couldn't bring Tanev back at that price. It's the same dollars he had on the last contract. From what we've heard Tanev wanted to c...

Re: Canucks News N Notes 2020-2021

Can see if Toffoli will take the Tanev deal, go with a herd of rookie defencemen and try to out-score their mistakes. At least the rookie Dmen have good goalies backing them up. If they don’t add a couple decent d men to that scabby mess that’s currently there, I can’t think of a shittier D in the ...

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)

When I see what Shattenkirk and Gudas just got I can’t help but think that we missed out there. Shattenkirk is right on par, and honestly a little underpaid in a normal cap climate.

Gudas @ $2.5M per is a bargain.

They both lower the bar on Tanev. Hopefully from Rutherford’s perspective too.

Re: Canucks News N Notes 2020-2021

What a waste of fuckin time that was! Gawd (re:OEL). It may have indirectly hurt us because it backed up the talks with our pending UFAs. Oh well what's done is done, no use whining about it. Lots of work to be done going forward. Agree, very curious to see how Vancouver does over the next few days...

Re: Canucks News N Notes 2020-2021

One last shot at a deal? Dregger: The Vancouver Canucks are hard at it this morning. It’s believed the Canucks have made another offer on Oliver Ekman-Larsson. Whether this results in a deal with Arizona TBD. But don't worry guys, Motte is close to re-signing with us. Bleh. In situations like these...

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)

Some goof from the mongoloid farm to the east of the Rockies thinks it would be a great idea for Calgary to find a way to skip on Markstrom and trade for Price to really take a shot at the cup. Brilliant. I hope they do it. $10.5M on a goaltender until he's 39 years old is exactly what I want to see...

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)

I’d offer Cory Schneider a one year deal for a million and make him aware he is likely the third goalie going to Utica to platoon with and support Dipietro. Then look for a real back-up. Get some potentially excellent goalie depth. So you'd burn $1M of valuable cap space on a goalie to send to Utica?

Re: Trade rumours & armchair pipe dreams 19-20 Sponsored by SKYO

Is there something to the Albortian rumours for Markstrom or is this just a pressure tactic from his agent? I believe they are going hard after him because they know Benning is fucked and both those teams weaknesses right now is goaltending. I got a feeling Marky is Alberta bound and Benning is wai...

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)

Rumor is that Lundqvist signing in Washington is for one year @ $1.5M. If that's true would he change his mind and come all the way west for $2.5M? Would sure make letting Markstrom land Alberta more palatable. Would also mean there would be room for one of (or both) Toffoli and Tanev if when the OE...

And HW is staying mum on it.

Either she doesn’t know or she knows to stay quiet about details until after the fact.....in which case it’s very very close.

Re: Canucks News N Notes 2020-2021

Benning should take a long hard look at Gudas.

If OEL lands here and both Markstrom and Tanev are gone, as well as possibly Toffoli. I’d add Gudas as a replacement for Tanev. In theory he should be available for around $4M.

Kunz are the new Coxe Imagine those two together on the same line banging away all the walls. The Coxe and Kunz reign of terror would have lived in infamy.

Re: 2020 NHL Draft

What I was actually doing was: Calling you a gomer for suggesting trading for OEL would shorten our window somehow. That's exactly what I think it could do. Okay Mick, as usual please feel no need to expand on your gomerish thoughts... We have too many players to replace and sign now and over the n...

Re: Canucks News N Notes 2020-2021

Then it would be a really shitty situation if the trade happens and then Markstrom doesn't come back.....I mean for OEL. :P Yeah, I'm sure the plan is to have both of them here. So Benning's plan here is that he wants Marky to stay cheap so he pulls the trigger on bringing in his best friend, who a...
