That depends there are many GM's out there that sign those contracts..............

Yeah but it's highly unlikely that Hemsky will get a big pay day as a free agent. If someone thought he was worth it, we would have accepted a trade by now. He will probably get a 3-3.5 million annual deal for about 2 years.

Bourque is a dead weight with his salary at 3.33m for another 2 seasons . Eller, although making 1.3m this season, is an RFA this summer and will get an increase (to at least 3m). Don't think this would fly
- AlexF

Burrows is a risk too at what 4.25 X3 more years? I thought bourque only had this and next year?

Scooby is an extremely intelligent and well respected poster poster, please do not disrespect him. Everything he posts should be taken as 100% serious. I'd take a good long, hard look in your mirror if you find yourself disagreeing with any of his opinions and/or suggestions. Thank you kindly.

Well, he's no Dshiddy so he's got that going for him

Burrows does a lot of the little things that don't jump out on the stat sheet (PK, defensively sound, etc) so sometimes it can be tough to gauge.

Gallagher, Galchenyuk, Pacioretty are obviously all out. I'd probably say someone like Lars Eller, give or take small pieces.
- AlexF

You can judge it by looking at possession numbers. He's a 64.5% possession player(65% if you weight it based on the rest of the team). Those are fantastic numbers, and he he's played games with the Twins this year as well. I'm not one to judge a player entirely based on advanced stats, but when they're dramatically positive/negative then it says something.

I wouldn't mind trading Eller.

However, you would need to take more salary back.

Eller + Bourque

for

Burrows + 2nd round pick

No thanks, not interested in including a 2nd on top of that deal at all.

Not going to disagree.
But Burrows absolutely needs to regain some scoring punch to be worth his contract.
Nobody will be shackled with a bad Hemsky deal come July.

I think pulling kesel's hair is worth his contract.

Not sure if it's been posted other than the rumour:

Eddie Lack confirmed as starter.

Bourque flat out sucks though, his ceiling at best is a 3rd liner...and that's if he's playing well. Basically David Booth-esque.

Fun times. Who needs Nucker pool trades when you have the Canucks.

We do

Kopitar has requested a trade (although he's denied it to the media).

I can confirm as GM, though

LUONGO TRADED YET!?
EDLER TRADED YET!?
KESLER TRADED YET!?

Fine but I don't think you'll find a much better offer if you trade Burrows.

EK :

Talking to a few people today and there appears to be a Kesler deal on the table...if Gillis is ready to make the deal. The Canucks are going to get way more than many people expected. The other very interesting thing about Kesler is that Gillis has been talking to several teams "for months" about Kesler.

Exactly why I wouldn't sell low, play him a full season with the Twins again next year(hopefully healthy) and he'll score his 25 or so goals and gain back market value.

This is Gillis baby!

Lack to Winnipeg.
Garrison to back to Florida.
Sedins to Detroit.


Kesler, Edler, Luongo retire as Nucks.

If Kesler gets traded I'll have an avatar crisis.

Good point. You should put some thought into that. There are plenty of hilarious looking Canucks if you want to add some humor to your Avy.
