Mccantscore is just that, all that speed and fancy stickhandling with no finish, he reminds me of playing on the pond with my buddies, there was a guy just like him and after awhile we conserved energy and let him go and picked up the rebound and went the other way and score

Take it out of Danny's new contract since he should only get a 3rd of what Hank gets in the real world at this stage.

Realistically, if the twins will only play for van and no other team, and management is going to re-sign them if they want to play(even though none of us want them to). Then we should low ball them and tell them to take it or retire. If they then choose to sign somewhere else, then (frank) them and (frank) retiring their jerseys.

I'm watching the AHL All Star Skills. Not sure if it's live or not. Get to watch another Canucks blue chip prospect Thatcher Demko!

For a management failing to draft their way into a new generation,,, they are not doing too bad considering we still have Godette, OJ and EP to dazzle us yet.... and another good draft coming I'll wager.

Yes no top 3 picks for 19 years, be nice if this is the year! people like dwelling on negatives like erikkson.

I think Gaudreau was trying his best to make sure he didn't.

Nah he’s just a Allstar game puck hog

Plus he doesn’t need the money

I think it's a bit premature to call this one way or the other, more time needed to judge. Definitely some nice prospects though.

I just checked Biech's twitter and found this:

You're right. It's paid by the team, not the league. If the league awards a bonus for the ASG MVP as well, then that money is cap-free.

Schedule A refers to his contract. He doesn't have a contract with the NHL, he has a contract with the Canucks.

Is brock a surprise to you? he is for me in a sense that its happening so quick, I thought he would be a good player in a year or 3.

I didn't say he was terrible, anyone can see he has super skills but he cant finish, maybe that changes but as of now he is not much of a goal scorer.

I agree. Talking in terms of quality of prospects in system. Not the NHL career they have had.

Now we're into evening hate, the best kind, get it all out before going to bed boys. I say, tell Linden to low ball the twins or we tear down his jersey from the ceiling.

He had 30 last year, top twenty five in the league, I'd say he's doing ok.

It’s nice to see Boeser recognized and earn a bit more money, kid is a good news story.

All the Sedin crap aside, I can see the team is starting to have a change of identity, I think this is Horvats team. Boeser looks to be the real deal, just needs good line mates to play with.

He is good at empty netters, 3 this year that I recall, probably double that last year. You no what I mean though, jagr said he will get a hundred goals maybe he was talking about boeser.

I found it to be hypocritical of our good friend Bettman to be concerned about player safety during a player strddling the blue line and maybe raising the one leg and another player getting cut from the skate and then that happens.
The guy is a complete effen douche.
