That would be great. Honestly, I would love a d-man or even two in the first round. I just know we need pretty much everything at this point, so BPA. It would be amazing to get another pick, especially if it was a lotto pick somehow.

Bad news for Dorsett ,worse news for Canucks. He is not retiring , he is going on LTIR.

Best wishes

Sedins wont be going anywhere, and certainly wont fetch a top 4 d man on one of the most bargain friebdly contracts in the league.

don't (frank)ing crush my dreams Codes, Gawd!

Mom, dad is crushing my dreams again!!

Benning, speaking to media, said Canucks will not pursue a “Dorsett type” player, the void will be filled internally. “This gives guys a chance to play more and step up.”

Didn't hear that. Thanks.

Brutal. How much of his contract goes against the cap?

his 2.5 million comes off the cap.

I thought it counts, similar to Lupul and Horton hears a who

on another note, Arizona is still paying ribiero for the next three years 1.9 million, the guy is apparently a party animal and now retired.

2.65 would count in the offseason, not during the season. Unless he officially retires then maybe it's different.

Zero.

It only comes back during the season and that's probably irrelevant anyway since teams are allowed to be over the cap by 10% during the summer.


This doesn't hurt the Canucks cap situation.

Yes 2.65 stays on the books but Canucks can spend up to 2.65 over the cap

Huh, didn't know that's how LTIR works. That's good news for our cap

Does Gaunce fight?

...after a little googling...the answer appears to be 1 NHL fight, a year ago.

He might have to step this up...and so will JV.
- dbot

Fights are at an all-time low in the league, a lot of team don't even dress a goon they might have some guys who are willing to drop the gloves, but are good players too.

Besides, the Canucks don't really seem to be a targeted team. Bo is one of the biggest guys on the team and hard to knock down. Boeser has taken like 1-2 decent hits, but nothing that has him playing scared.

Rest are vets we don't care about or younger guys who aren't core players so who cares

I'm not back scrolling. Talking about NJ-Ducks trade today. Does that set this year's price for top 4 D?

Yes - JB
- Healthy-Scratch

Last year was his best IMO, he's improved as a GM. I'd extend, now watch Nucker and co. tear a strip off me

Don't think we talked about it, but I hope so! I'd think Tanev has more value than Vatanen and that was a pretty decent haul for Anahiem. Henrique will fit well there.

With the canuck luck all these guys on the block at the tdl will be injured

Agreed, seems every GM has issues but I do think JB is improving each year.

expect a big game from the Nucks tonight , this news of Dorsett can have a galvanizing effect on a team 4-1 good guys

Seemed like a pretty even deal to me.

I'm not tearing a stip but I would look at other options.

- neem55

I was wondering if Tanev has more Value, they aren't exactly similar styles. I would think Tanev has just slightly more value then Vatanen.
