To be fair it was Dale Weise...so that is like half a death threat

You don't mess with Dutch Gretzky.

If Lucic goes to EDM, we may end up with Ladd.
- VanHockeyGuy

I really don't want Ladd either but would take him 10 times out of 10 over Lucic.

Ones a leader, the other a cretin.

In his defense, he said they could 'potentially' lose those picks based on the rules.
- Marwood

I don't think there are set rules. The NHL can almost always do what they want. They may dislike the Canucks but they were never going to cripple the franchise over innocent remarks. $50K is a steep fine for Jimmy

Both are starting to decline and will sign long term deals.

True enough.

I don't want Ladd either. Boedker, Okposo or Eriksson would be good fits. Brouwer would be ok.

Is it JB's fine or the club's? and even if it is JB's, couldn't the club give him a bonus at the end of the season to offset it?

That's pretty much my list. But i think the odds on Okposo are near 0% that he would sign here.

Backes

3. Okposo
McGinn
Brouwer

4. Ladd

Every year there is a Clarkson or two. A bunch of teams want them. The winner celebrates and the fans troll everyone else. And then . . . then the reckoning comes. The trolled becomes the troller. And an unhappy, humiliated GM takes out his buyout pen.

On July 1, beware. Clarkson returns.

I think you may be correct, it looks like the Canucks were fined and not Benning. Who cares then, the Blue Water Café can pay the fine

I guess it is double what Toronto was fined for Wilson's comments.

I look at it as the cost of pr.

when coaches are directly fined, I had heard they often get a portion back at the end of the season as long as they don't repeat the offense, I wonder if the club will be able to get a portion back as long as JB stays a bit more tight lipped?

His agent has gone on record saying he deserves Kesler money.

The table showing Stamkos' potential earnings and Toronto is millions lower than all the others

I honestly think 4 million for 6 years with Shaw is going to be a mistake. I like the grit, but 34 points seems like about as much as he's going to produce(is he really going to score more on MTl than Chi!?).

How about Shattenkirk to the Canucks?

Shaw is flavour of the month. Even if he has a decent couple of years, six years will be a long time.
