Tavares and Carlson


The Cap only goes up for the Canucks, right?

100 000 a goal

I bet I could offer him 300 000 a goal and he still won't make a million

Gaunce had 4 goals in 37 games this year...lol

They were ugly goals but I’m just saying. 8 goal pace for a 4th liner isn’t terrible.

He needs to double that and play 80 games

The fact that he had 4 goals with the way he is utilized is even more impressive.

He had the worst zone start percentage of any player in the NHL by a mile.

Usage gets overlooked so badly by some people.

Sutter and Gaunce handled themselves well given their usage this year. A lot of other forwards on this roster would have gotten lit up if given the same roles.

That is why we are putting aside 5-6 mil so we can re-sign him

He doesn't hit , doesn't fight , doesn't score . You can find other 4 th line players who will do all three and get paid the same .

Thanks Carroll

Probably not, if we're getting lowballed now, we're not going to get better offers at TDL (they'll probably get worse then if Tanev gets injured and misses significant time (like he will)). At least you get something for him, instead of hanging onto him for another 2 years and locking up a space that could go to someone better (or at least more durable).

Um...deadline offers are historically better... poop no to dumping him fir nothing.

Yeah, I think we just evaluate players a bit differently. We’ve been through this one before. I think he’s fine as a 12/13th defensive specialist forward, others think he belongs in the AHL.

Agree to disagree and move on. Won’t matter in the big picture.

What kinda contract is Paul Stastny looking at? 7+ @4years???

Did someone say Gaunce???

Amazingly impressive. Just imagine if he scored 5! Holy (frank)

Just read Cordell’s blog on Frk. I agree that he’d be a nice depth pickup. He looked good whenever I saw him play.

I think our D had 16 goals combined?

Granlund 8
Eriksson 10
Dowd 3
Gaunce 4
Jake 10
Boucher 3


38 goals and lets add in another 10 for players that subbed in .

Total 64 goals scored 70 % of your team will not win you many hockey games.

I know you are a puck possession guy but this is horrible. You need to flush most of them out and rebuild
