You think you are getting 2 yrs of UFA for 5.6? Might be a tough sell.

I'm not sure Bo will improve much more. It's like Kesler, he may have a year or two that's better then the others but I don't see him cracking 60 points unless he gets a really good player to play with.

Brian Boyle traded for a 2nd. 32 years old and had 13 goals.
Hanzal traded basically for a 1st. 30 years old and 16 goals.
Hansen for a (late first prospect) and 4th. Pro-rated 12 goals.

24 year old, 15 goals and Sven is only worth a 2nd

Both players 6'5 Sven 5'10

People that suggest Sutter for a first should not be knocking other posters proposals

Boyle/Hanzal r both big C's
Hansen plays up n down the line-up & PK.
Yes Sven is not worth as much as those 3 yet.
1 dimensional at this juncture in his career & til otherwise he's nothing else.

If he is like Kesler we did great.

True but if turns into Kesler we've done real well. I'm hoping he develops chemistry with Boeser....if he does, then he'll get to 60 points.

And they both filled roles that Sven just can't.

So a 24 year old isn't as worth as much as a career 4th line center in Boyle? We really should be signing Vanek then. Career 69 points a season.

I think this is the exact reason why so many are utterly shocked when a trade happens and think it's always so lopsided.

Why, he was drafted 14 spots ahead of him?

He's worth what he fetches. I don't hear of any team knocking down JB's door for him & offered JB up a 1st. What teams want a so so winger with limited abilities? He is not versatile and only in a scoring role with nothing else to offer so far.

Boyle fights , scores , hits, and shuts down .

Sven scores sometimes

If Sven scores 15-18 then trade him. If he is scoring 20-25 then keep him .
- VANTEL

What if he scores 8 ?

- manvanfan

So what. BB was 14 spots behind him.
Bo was a solid pick and destined as a 2C if we r to be good in a few years.

What if he scores 8 ?
- Redmile247

Off to KHL then lol

What does everyone think Horvat's contract look like?
I'm thinking it will end up being 6 years at 6.25m/year
Side note do we keep both baertchi and grandlund or try and trade one as both their contracts are up after this season? Both will be Rfa's .
Assuming they will both want 3m
- canucks1986

I think 5.3 for 6-8 years, if 8 it will have bonus's attached for performance

What if he scores 8 ?
- Redmile247

Then he is Calgary Flames UFA signing next year just like Raymond and Higgins

If he is like Kesler we did great.
- Nighthawk

In my opinion he's a kesler lite, Kes didn't realy blossom until he was 25ish? Really took off playing with Demitra and Sundin . If Bo's peak is 55-60 points then we did great. Hoping EP and Dahlen is our answer to our 1st line in a few years. With any luck we win the lottery this year and draft Dahlin and pair him with OJ as our top pair of the future

I Make it a point to not fall in luv with middle 6 small wingers.

Make him captain

Yes there is always r cast offs on the UFA pipeline 😂😂

Yeah Boyle's career 13 minutes a game in TB and 11 minutes a game in Toronto. He would have to be pretty productive.

Pipeline to Calgary

- VANTEL

We only did that when we were in the Canucks shoes ...kinda like signing gagner and burmistrov

Now we trade all our picks

Make him captain

Once again you are right


Sven for a first
Sutter for a first
Rodin for a first
Boucher for a first
Modino for a first
