My only concern on signing a C is term. Sedin's are the only ones that will come (stay) on 1 year deals. I like Bailey as a Sutter replacement, if they can do something to that effect I would be very happy
- WhiteLie

So would the Islanders and their fans. How Bailey would be cheaper and more effective then Sutter on two way game is harder to understand.

I'll argue that they are both 2nd line players at best.
- manvanfan

no kidding.

we have to show a little more patience.

no more long term overpaying contracts for 2nd tier ufa's.

Crazy to think everybody so high on Turris yet Bo was only 3 points behind on a pooptier team. Bo took 200 more faceoffs then Turris did.

Turris 6 years at 6.25

It's criminal how much folks underate Horvat

We are under strict orders from Captains. EO to behave, so you may want to beat it before he comes along and bans your sorry butt.
- Reubenkincade

I got a ban for questioning someone's medical degree, so there is some truth to this.

I thought Lind looked better than Gadjovich in the Juniors, never even heard of this kid until we drafted him. It's great to have both of them, very different players.

the summer showcase?

Gadjovich got some favourable reviews for his limited role. that's great if Lind looked even better.

Subban has no value. If an undersized dman cant make the worst team in the league then why would a better team pay a decent asset for his rights? He is probably worth a 4th round pick so we should keep him and hope he improves in Utica

Well that's part of the debate as he develops. It's timing of course and his type is coming into vogue so something might break there this season or next.

I keep thinking the same thing, Turris is going to price himself out of Ottawa... and at that price I really dont want him. talking about a 6x6 for Turris is rediculous (though we did give that to LE, so what do I know ;.

Haters will hate but Bo is the future captain.

It is. He's not a 1C yet. He's turned into a good 2C. All his stats show he is a very capable 2C before he even enters his prime years.

I'm in no rush to put that pressure on him.

Gudbranson has also been mentioned as a possible captain.

Brisebois maybe if he continues his development.

We can go awhile before giving anyone the C if need be.

(Turris is a 2c as much as Horvat is presently a 1c.)

Thought you might.
On this team they would be 1st line ELITE players.

Typically you pay your best player more than the support player, unless youre prepared to pay Bo $6.5-7 AAV starting this year?
- WhiteLie

Bo is now so that doesn't factor into a Turris contract if there in July 2018. Anyway you usually overpay UFA's over RFA's with no arbitration rights. That's just the part of doing business to improve team by adding an asset not paid for by trade or draft pick.

Nylander carried by a 1OA lucky pick. Say no more
Ehlers on a non-playoff team that underachieves.
Larkin on a train wreck team.
Pastrnak was a solid find.👍

3 of those teams in a weak division.
- Nighthawk

Some say Nylander drives Matthews and not the other way around.
Others say Matthews was a bust and Laine was the right pick.
It's so hard to say to be fair.

Virtanin is a huge bust. Like it's bad. 6th overall too wow. Can't even score in the ahl. He will be a welder by the time he's 30. Just a guess.
- Thunder_daddy

Flagged for purely posting to inflame ppl here
Rude & no manners & straight to poop disturbing.

nylander ehlers Larkin and pastrnak all taken after virtanin llooolllllooollll oh well 6th overall picks rarely work out anyways right? LOL

His next post being a POS

Most teams set their cap structure to pay their best players the most, outside ELC's I am having a tough time thinking of a team that doesnt pay its best players the most

Not to mention, Turris' birthday is next week. If he was to sign with Vancouver he would be 29 for his first game. Not exactly a young guy to hand a long term deal to

Right now yes they would be, in the short future naaa.

this whole Turris/ Tavares talk is ridiculous

- manvanfan

Both are 2nd liners at worst unless on a deep team.
Turris 3C in Pitt say
Kane a top 6W anywhere imo

how did people come to the idea about this two specific players anyway?

Joe veleno seems to be in every halinka report. This one has other players though.

Aaah i think with the Canucks being in such disarray & the roster turnover that was needed done by JB has gotten us to this point. Those knocking Bo r either know squat or know squat pick one 😜😂
