The 87/88 season was a shitshow, Dan Hogdson looked like a scorer until a Calgary prick broke his leg http://canuckslegends.blogspot.ca/2011/ ... dgson.html , Paul Lawless (Paul Pointless) was a waste of space, etc
But hey reds in the coliseum were only $25!
Had a 10 game pack in 1987/88, I am a fan OK?
(and I watched GMJB play defense for us)

But subtracting two popular players to add a degenerate?

Risky.

Bill Day says, Kane will be directed to the NHL/NHLPA Behavioral Health professionals for evaluation and counseling, if deemed necessary.
10:48 AM - 22 Jul 2016
Would this be considered Stage 1? Or because it was reported, we're in Stage 2?
Every player that is suspended by the NHL for any reason (head-shot, steroids, wife-beating, whatever)

... is auto-referred to the NHL/NHLPA "Program for Substance Abuse and Behavioral Health".

Pretty sure Kane does not have what is commonly called a "substance-abuse problem" there BoS.

Also, Kane is by no means "a degenerate"... he's a professional athlete who does plenty of charity work.

Evander Kane is immature for his age and prone to unprofessional off-ice behavior, I'll give you that...
Gimme Evander Kane

A seriously talented asshole

Wow, I know he's good, but this seems like a pretty steep price for a #4 D-man. They must see some up-side to him that I haven't heard of. Even the sports writers are saying it was a pretty steep price.

:lol: IDK how that works, I never tune in, but they post on twitter about it a lot.

I think he was a regular caller?

And Mrazek re-signs with Detroit $4m per, with howard thats $9.3M in net, and so without LTIR they are maxed out cap wise being $4M+ over the cap.

Lightning sign Namestnikov

http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/repo ... year-deal/

Another good signing by Yzerman.

A rare "bridge" deal for a guy coming off his entry level deal. I'd like to see more deals like this...let a guy prove himself for a couple more years before you lock him up for 6 years.

That would indeed help a lot!
I've said for a while now less of these signings are happening with the 3 year ELC as opposed to the 2.

It's good for depth players for sure.

For the Canucks future bridge deals, it should be used for Virtanen, Hutton and Tryamkin.

Gudbranson will probably get a standard top 4 defensive dman contract of $4.5M per x 6.

But I think for Horvat, maybe JB/TL might think about getting creative with Bo, with two options, either go long term 8 years @ $5M-$5.3M ish (taking him to 30 years of age) or bridge him 2-3 years (as I believe a 4 year contract next season would bring him to UFA).

With how Bo Horvat plays and how pro he is, I think this is the only time I think a 8 year contract would be a wise move long term for the Canucks.
