Nils is a weak handle nonetheless


Hopefully he’s a Swede with some Landeskog, Ohlund or Douglas Murray in him

Nothings gayer than Hampus for a swedish 1st name. Only the most disappointed parent would consider that one

What is that second half music? Celtic Metal? I love that.

Ulf is good. So is Lars. They depict savagery .

Wonder if Nils has a nickname yet. I reckon it may emanate from his last name.

[Mickey107]

Not really that close but it sounds cool. Don't think it's Swedish.

7 mill by 4 years

Brock Boeser's agent, Ben Hankinson, is seeking a four-year contract with an average annual value of $7 million for his client, reports The Province's Ben Kuzma.

The Vancouver Canucks forward is one of several high-profile restricted free agents who remain unsigned as NHL training camps draw near.

Aside from Sebastian Aho, who inked a five-year, $42.27-million deal with Carolina after the Hurricanes matched an offer sheet from the Montreal Canadiens, San Jose Sharks forward Timo Meier is arguably the most significant RFA to come off the market so far. Meier signed a four-year, $24-million contract July 1 and, along with unsigned Winnipeg Jets restricted free agent Kyle Connor, has been used as a comparable in negotiations between Boeser's camp and the Canucks.

"Those are some of the names we've used," general manager Jim Benning said of Meier and Connor. "They (Boeser's camp) have been reasonable and we're continuing to talk to get to some common ground. I'm hopeful to get something done before camp, but we're not there yet."

While Meier's $6-million AAV would be reasonable for the Canucks, Benning has no intention of handing out a similarly structured contract. The base salary in the final year of Meier's contract is $10 million, setting him up for a $10-million qualifying offer as a restricted free agent when it expires. Boeser would also be an RFA after a four-year deal.

"That scares me a bit," Benning said.

Vancouver prefers a salary structure more closely resembling that of Bo Horvat's contract, Kuzma adds. The Canucks pivot signed a six-year pact with an average annual value of $5.5 million shortly before training camp opened in 2017. Horvat's deal does not include any signing bonuses and he'll earn a base salary of just $4.45 million in the final year of the contract.

"We're looking at all of our options and are talking what long and short deals look like," Benning said.

Boeser, 22, scored 26 goals and added 30 assists in 69 games for the Canucks last season. Meier had 30 goals and 36 assists in 78 games, while Connor potted 34 tallies and 32 helpers in 82 contests.

The Canucks have just over $5 million in projected cap space with 24 players signed, according to CapFriendly. They could create additional cap space by placing Antoine Roussel on long-term injured reserve and optioning players to the minors.

Cum on a moustache is pretty gay.

I may have a wee bit of the Celtic blood in me.

Over in the KHL -

Tryamkin is learning to use his size effectively and is positionally sound as he matures. I'd say he'd be a rock solid defensive dman in the NHL. The type that would thrive in the nasty playoffs atmosphere - especially now that we have other scrappy players so he isn't the only "tough guy". Seems he plays left and right side no problem.

Podkolzin definitely plays like a true powerforward, when he hits it hurts, two good KHL years will be so beneficial for him to mature/develop for the NHL.

And of course the really wise, bold maneuver, of telling Gary Bettman and the league to fuck off with the illegitimate Luongo penalty,
hence recapturing our deserved three million dollars for this and two more mother loving seasons, mmm?

Seriously: We can make more space by the start of the regular season. But let's get Brock here for start of camp!!!!
Noe excuses for a slow start because he wasn't there for camp and pre-season. No excuses for a slow start even if he is.

Benning made a very strong point of bringing him up in his, (Cool, I have an extended contract speech).
He obviously believes the big guys coming back and will become a Canuck...........................again.

With both Benn and Trymakin playing the right side with confidence, I'm hoping we find a home for Tanev. Save his cap and get an asset(s) back for him. Id really like to move him before he gets hurt and has to go on IR. Woo is still a couple of years away but by then Benn maybe done and Stetcher.....

I agree on Tanev, Wids. It's really our last chance. (last year of contract). If there's a chance, it had better be rather promptly.
IMO, I fear it's too late / in regards to what kind of return we'd get now as opposed to 2 or 3 years ago.
