Goldobin with the breakaway goal, then benched immediately after

Goals are sacred. The kids have to learn that they have to EARN IT.

Knowing the canucks it will be veteran leadership to replace the loss of the twins

Watch Vanek get extended 3 years 5 million aav....yuck

Im curious as to what benning (or replacement) does in the off-season with all the freed up cap space. I dont know exact numbers, but it has to be north of 17 million, plus cap is going up
- Codes1087

32m left for 10 players plus how much the cap goes up. Thats flexible of course.

It will be interesting to see who will be the highest paid canuck once the twins retire. Eriksson?

Yes LE

Ryan Johansen was just told about dorsett from the media. Visibly taken back by it. Said dorsett took him under his wing for his first year, showed him what it took day in and day out to be a pro. Could not say enough good things about dorsett.
- Codes1087

For sure disappointing news on Dorsett. Appreciated his time and effort here.

Yes LE
- Nighthawk

Maybe. But with all that cap space going into next season...

Edit: could be as high as $21M in UFA and injury savings.

Lets sign another overpriced free agent to a LE type deal Build through the draft along with some smart trades.

I believe boeser can sign an extension after july 1st as well. Obviously new contract wont kick in till following year, but good to plan ahead.

No way in hell that happens.

Yes of course, but that's been the issue. Believe it when I see it.

Yes and no at the same time. The canucks have done well in building up their prospect pool (well at least from what it was). Yes, the twins are still here but their TOI has drop significantly. I don't think we can expect more than that.
- bloatedmosquito

What I meant was that the NHL club would spend / make moves to try and be competitive for the duration of their contracts. This is the too loyal part I noted. I get it, I just don’t agree it was the best course of action. After the twins retire, the club won’t “owe it” to anyone (other then the fans) and will hopefully adjust their strategy moving forward.

The building up of prospects is another matter, and I am generally happy with how that has gone.

Going to be a really good game on tonight, I'm betting everyone in Canada will be glued to the TV tonight.

Go Oil Go





Oh and Canucks lose 5-2

Yes of course, but that's been the issue. Believe it when I see it.
- bloatedmosquito

I'm hopeful LE gets moved in a couple of years once the kids transition.

No kidding. I've noticed this group repeating topics and subject matter. The most significant discussion point over the last year has been people's behaviour on here.

As entertaining as it's been it just doesn't fill that void.

Sven Baertschi. RFA.
- bloatedmosquito

A few rfas to deal with for sure. I doubt sven demands more than 3.5-4 mill a season. Im not down on sven as some people here, i like him playing with Bo.

Hey, I would be the biggest circle jerker, lemming, pom pom waiver, super fan there could be if the canucks could pull that off.

Can see Sven getting paid 6 3.5-4m.
Granlund off year gets him cheap.
EG if still here 4-4.5m max i hope.
JV modest bridge raise to 1.5m.
Pouliot maybe 2m
Stecher bridge 1.8m

All guesses but leaves a lot of cap space.

I think youre bang on except i dont think virtanen gets 1.5. Granlund got 800k and sven got 900k or something out of their elcs and put up more points (obv more games played).
I hope gudbranson is gone cause anything more then 2.5-3 million per year is overpayment for a bottom pairing guy.

Gustav Forsling averaging over 21 minutes per night while playing on PK1 and PP2. Thanks guys!
