The least he could do is let you know, so you can tell us, if he thinks the trade is likely to happen or not!Hockey Widow wrote: ↑Thu Oct 08, 2020 1:14 pmMy source isn't responding to my texts so I know nothing. He goes dark like this when he doesn't trust himself to not say too much which tells me that where there is smoke there is fire. Which doesn't tell us anything at all that we don't already know.

Re: Canucks News N Notes 2020-2021
At another blog I frequent there is some one who is currently working in the NHL in a research and development capacity. He and a poster who follows the Avalanche are saying that two parts of Tyson Barrie's game that are his weakest are skating and breakout passes. The Avs fan said that Barrie gets most of his points jumping in on the rush as a fourth guy. So Barrie doesn't come with what the Canucks need the most in a defensemen, the ability to made good outlet passes.

Even with all that, not sure how they fit the Lads into a flat cap with OEL’s contract... Tight.
10+ 10 + 8.25 + 6 + 6 + 5.75 + 5.25 + all the other poison contracts leaves fuck all for depth. Math isn’t strong point here.
Petterson 10
OEL 8.25
Boeser 5.75
Horvat 5.65
Miller 5.25
Myers 6
= 50.9 million for 7 players. Add 6 million for the crook if he’s still here the next 2 years and you’re at 56.9 million and need 15 players. Better to just let the bad contracts run out and drain the swamp.

The math Doyle shows is ludicrous.

Re: Canucks News N Notes 2020-2021
The math adds up. Or is OEL going to be the new internal cap for everyone despite the fact he’d be the teams 5th best player at best.

Re: Canucks News N Notes 2020-2021
OEL will thrive here like all swedes do. He’s a machine! The Yotes will retain some. I think we will be on the hook for $7 million like the Flyers are with Kevin Hayes and the Leaves are with NylanderDoyle Hargraves wrote: ↑Thu Oct 08, 2020 1:57 pm The math adds up.

Now you have to ask yourself. Who’d you rather have at 7 per? Hayes, Nylander or OEL?

I know he’s a good player but he would be the fifth best player on the team. That’s not a bad thing. 8.25 is the problem.The Brown Wizard wrote: ↑Thu Oct 08, 2020 2:02 pmOEL is a good player Doyle.

Re: Canucks News N Notes 2020-2021
The Yotes retain $1.25 million and we pay him what Hayes and Nylander. That’s excellent! OEL is far more valuable than those two goobersDoyle Hargraves wrote: ↑Thu Oct 08, 2020 2:08 pmI know he’s a good player but he would be the fifth best player on the team.
