Dont forget tryamkin, he's been a big part of the improvement in the team. Guy can seriously shut down top lines and play 25 min a game.
- SMBDragon

He's fitting in nicely indeed. Can only get better n better

Glass half full huh...fine Dorsett wildly overpaid and complete waste of skin....poor choice. Willie's darling. Sbisa all but gone to Las Vegas...zero. l.E vast overpayment for a guy on the down side of his career...8 mil this year for 10 goals....nice. Granlund for shine...yup looks good so far no argument there, unless he is unprotected and goes to lv . Sven for a second....not sure not convinced he has the consistency and we don't know what the second could have been. Call it a wash for now. Miller 3 yrs 18 mil to pretty much be a bottom five teaming the league.....then resign Marky to a 4 year deal at 4 mil to not play....got 10 mil tied up in goalies and we're bottom 5 in goals against....looks poopty there too. Gudbranson move I liked but he may not re sign...and if he does it will likely be another JB gem like 8 yrs 5mil per. Stetcher was a hometown discount....any idiot in van coulda sealed that deal...the rest were draft picks which I agreed was the only part of JB s job I liked
- Bullfrog77

Bullfrog, you are spinning poop so hard you resemble one of the Leaf's trolls that come here. Are you next going to blame JB because we never won any cups? Go get yourself a baby wipe before you get a rash. You are not even being rational.

I've figured it out...

Your MG in disguise 😂😂
- Nighthawk

Since he is piling all of MG's NTC's on JB, and the inability to move them, and the difficulties of turning this roster around that MG bolted to the floor,,, I'm going to guess he's a huge delusional MG fan who is still butthurt. Otherwise he would have been a little more fair instead of deflecting it all onto JB.

You like Erickssons deal at 6milx6 ? Did you like Sbisa at 4 mil before this year? How about Sutter getting to 5 million before ever playing a game for us? Do you think we may have trouble signing guys like Bo Tryamkin Granlund Stetcher Hanson Gudbranson? Money is coming off the books but it's going right back on to other people
- Bullfrog77

Your argument about cap is pathetic. Canucks are fine. You say the money is coming off the books but going to spent on other people??? OMG, what idiot GM would free up cap space and then use it?

Pending UFA's

Sedins 14
Miller 6
Burrows 4.5
Larsen 1
Megna and Skille 1.3

That's 26.8 Mil off the books this summer and we are cap compliant right now obviously.

You say we're losing Sbisa. That's another 3.6


THAT'S 30.4 MILLION OFF THE BOOKS THE NEXT TWO SUMMERS

Please keep up the good posting.

- Bullfrog77

youre absolutely right about that last bit.
not that we'd have trouble signing them or anything but more that we will need to resign them at a raise. Some will be big raises....tryamkin for 1, Bo another

BO will hit it rich...no bridge deal. 8yr/6m maybe
Tryamkin prolly gets a good 2yr bridge at 2.5ish.
Hutton got 2.8m so maybe in that range but i think he gets squeezd a bit.
Outta shape last season & still has to prove he is a pro.
EG is a tougher guess...5/4.8m is my guess
Granlund will be at our price IMO
Stecher a bridge deal again at our price.
Hansen its too early to call might not be here idk

2018-19 potential lines


Sven BO BB
Granlund Sutter LE
Hansen ??? JV
Gaunce ??? Dorsett

Edler Stecher
Hutton Tanev
OJ Tryamkin

Demko/Marky

I'm presuming the Sedins r retired.
Sbisa lost to LV.
Atm Cassels for 4C til we draft one or Merry Xmas if somehow sign Tavares 😜
All the more reason to keep Tanev & Edler is if we r peaking at the right time.
Sutter then bounces down to 3C if we can lure Tavares with us being for real.

Big IF & plenty of good luck & progress to get there for sure.
An overly hopeful optimists point of view.

If no Tavares & we improve each year we r still looking like fun & success.

Jesus man. You'll never get Nighthawk to say anything remotely negative about the Nucks. You've got a strong will for trying, but it ain't happening. The Nucks are hunky-dory in his mind

I'd like to see you say that to Vantel. He's got him down as an untouchable along with Bo on trades. What do you say about that, huh

Game day folks. A must win against Preds?

As Canucks slowly fall out of the race, I would not be surprised to see some of these guys sitting or sent down to get a look at some of the others. Boucher & Rodin should be getting a chance before long.
Larsen skating so someone needs.to go down when he returns from a.conditioning stint. Pedan may have reached his 30 days and would need to be waived. I say you cut ties with Larsen.

Is the 30 days consecutive? Pedan's been up and down so might be okay there. WD still thinks PL is a regular and better then Biega and Pedan too. They'll send not used but press box insurance Pedan down again. With Hutton weeks away and Guddy gone for season they want PL. Expect they press box Beiga for season as insurance once he reaches game qualifications for Vegas.

Your forecast on Canuck fortunes may be premature. They still believe they are in the fight and won't give that up at this point.

- Nuck4U

Vantel didn't call him a 25 minute a night shutdown guy ...he sees that he is a good young D man with size and wants to see him develop as a canuck ...there's a difference

Regardless of where you think Tree will end up in the lineup he should be untouchable at this point as we would never get anything substantial for him and he has big potential

- boonerbuck

I'm the idiot? Sedins aren't off the books this summer we got a whole other season dishing out 14 mil. Miller s deal is up...but is likely to be resigned as per Trevor linden s interview a month or so ago. There 20 of your 30 mil still sitting right there. Sbisa is likely done and Burrows probably as well. Chapoo Megna and Skille could all be resigned as well. So considering Bo will get a 4 mil plus raise and Guddy is likely close to 4 mil raise....that's most of your freed cap space gone on two people. Sure maybe Sedin money comes after next summer. But it's more likely the team resigns them to play again...because we still won't have anyone to replace them. I will keep up the good posting....you on the other hand, really need to up your game

If you disagree with someone's opinion you call it bullpoop. Why don't you quit being such a self-righteous knob.

Relax, smoke a joint, it just might kill the bug you have up your ass.

- Nighthawk

Hutton has consistently been "top 4" pairing, so I think Tryamkin comes in with a 1 or 2 year deal slightly less or at Hutton's price. Otherwise I think your numbers are in the ballpark

Actualy, Hutton has proved consistently that he can't handle being in a top four paring, which is why he's on the bottom pair (and hopefully stays there until he gets a bit better in his zone).

- Bullfrog77

He's been pulling this crap for years. Picks a target and doesn't let up regardless of what that person says. It's childish, unconstructive, and boring.

I’m calling him out on it from now on.
