Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

Wow Vanek has way more top shelf talent than Moulson Could be a deadly combo with one of the best young player in the game in Tavares Agreed. But is the 5 extra goals he gets you vs. Moulson really worth the 1st and 2nd rounders? Since 09/10: Moulson: 304 GP 118 G Vanek: 280 GP 110 G Over their car...

The Islanders make a big splash and the rebuild is on in Buffalo. Buffalo trades Thomas Vanek to the Islanders for Matt Moulson, a First in 2014, and a Second in 2015. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=435220 Seems a bit odd, considering Moulson has more goals, and the same amount of points in fewer g...

Yep Lack has looked pretty good in the early going this season. But just like Tanev, because he wasn't drafted he doesn't count as a prospect find by the Gillis regime..... Pretty gutsy win. They were clearly exhausted in the third but stuck with the game plan, got a few good saves and then with al...

How does the league not see this as cap circumvention? Because only Pronger can officially retire, and there's no incentive for him to do so. If he retires he doesn't get paid. As long as stays un-retired, but injured, he can continue to collect his salary by doing nothing. Doesn't really matter mu...

Calgary is an absolutely hideous city. The place looks like Baghdad or Beirut and is likely the only city in the country that is uglier than both Edmonton and Toronto. I hate Calgary as a city, but I find ALL cities, Vancouver included, as hideous, ugly places to live. I think living in a city is a...

Mark Fraser out indefinitely for the leaves. May force them to recall JML or go with the rookie Reilly. If they call up JML, does he have to clear waivers again? If claimed,are the TML's on hook for 1/2 the salary/cap hit? If so, I'm thinking someone would take a shot at JML, at $2 mil, he'd be a g...

Bingo. He turned 26 today. He's being paid for his prime years. The Sedins not so much. Yep. And he'll enter the final year of his deal at 34 years old. The leaves had to make that deal, and it's not a gross overpayment (because someone would have given him that in Free Agency). That being said, of...

We are all Canucks right? RIGHT? :evil: As long as you wear your Canucks jersey over top of your Flyers jersey I can deal with it... I think. ;) leaves didn't have much choice on the Kessel deal, other than letting him walk. Guy can score, but I wouldn't want to pay $8M/year for a completely one-di...

The Flyers placed D-man Chris Pronger on LTIR. http://www.csnphilly.com/hockey-philadelphia-flyers/flyers-roster-will-change-opener the Flyers will place Chris Pronger on long-term injury (LTIR) which will given them enough salary cap room to move Hall back onto the roster on Tuesday. Holmgren said ...

And the Wings begin their salary juggling.

Red Wings will place Darren Helm on Long Term Injured Reserve Monday.

Okay Islander, you're officially an ass. You may trust your interpretation of the massive CBA, but I'll go with the general consensus thanks. On the subject of the Flyers..... http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/frequentflyers/Trade-in-works-for-Flyers.html It’s important to note that the first day ...

Or perhaps your quoting from the old CBA (you never give links so who knows). This is directly from the NHL CBA. Looks awfully similar to cap geek, and I don't see anything saying a team has to wait until Day 2 of the Regular season. http://cdn.agilitycms.com/nhlpacom/PDF/NHL_NHLPA_2013_CBA.pdf Cur...

Detail = No LTIR until Day 2 of the regular season. That's so weird. I wonder how the Vancouver Canucks placed Demitra (RIP) on the LTIR on DAY 1 of the 2009-10 season. Ditto for the Flyers and Mike Rathje who spent 193 of 193 days of the season on LTIR. Bieksa and Salo were both placed on LTIR on ...
