Forsberg spent three years in Sweden after being drafted by the Flyers, he had a pretty awesome career, I don't wanna ruysh that kid but hopefully he's ready sooner than later.

Look at the empty seats and how desperate Green is for scoring/playmaking. He’ll be on the team unless he sucks as$ in camp.

He and Dahlen seem more patient about themselves than the fans/team lol.

Ironically, it was the opposite with OJ and McCann. Both said they wanted to make the team asap lol. And the fans knew it was a long shot.

I don't know the particulars but at the end of the day I'm sure several factors played into his decision, money being only one of them. Young players generally seek opportunities, you only get that in Vancouver if you're a superstar
- LeftCoaster


It is an entry level contract so money doesn't matter He makes 925 K. Both him and Butcher had Canucks on their radar but instead chose youth friendly team . Canucks do not have a reputation of being youth friendly.

Torts said four years ago this core is stale. We don't change our core we extend them

Isn’t there a limit to how much you can offer on an ELC? I doubt we’ll know if the Canucks offered as much in bonus money as the Avs.

Unless you mean they guaranteed him a spot on the roster.

They offered playing time not money

Edler and the twins are the last of the old boys club, hopefully they're not extended but I expect them to be.

He is definitely NHL ready in every aspect but his weight. I doubt it will be an issue for him though. may not be able to start as a center though. may need to start as a winger(for Bo most likely) and move to center either later in the season or the next season.

Edler won't be. Twins will likely get 1 more season and then they will retire, with them gone the team will say good bye to Edler. Edler will not waive his NTC at all for this team, and will sign/move his family in the summer. the team will honor him with a video, and fans will cheer for him, but we will all be slightly bitter that he refused to waive his NTC at TDL.

Dahlen I think goes AHL to start. Pettersson signs and Baerschi is traded.
EP-Bo-boeser is our top line
Dank-Hank-X
Erikson-Gaudette-X
Gaunce-Sutter-4th line banger.

We'll see how it plays out. I've read both the Capitals and Jets are interested in Gudbranson.

You would think that with the uncertainty looking over JB, he would be as active as possible this deadline.

From where? Honestly, outside of guys like Friedman, Bobby Mac, Lebrun and Lavoie there aren’t really many insiders you can actually trust.

On another note. I see the Canes owner is allowing anyone who has an upper bowl seat to go sit lower bowl for the next few home games. Imagine the uproar amongst STH if that happened in Vancity?

I still have the feeling that he prefers to trade for players/prospects instead of picks.

Anyone buying a ST is a sucker anyway. You can’t flip single game tickets for profit as easily anymore with such low demand in the market. After the TDL resale prices are super low too, esoecially when the weather starts to improve.

CanuckDon?


The only legit inside scoop I’ve ever heard was the proposed trade to Florida in 2014 for #1 overall to draft Sam Reinhart
