Take it for nothing, (as I am) but I work with Cory conachers cousin. Who is apparently good friends with Travis Green. Green told Cory he wants Jim to sign Matthew Peca from Tampa. Let’s see how that plays out.

Worth a shot


Worst case he sucks and you send him to Utica to be a top 6 C for them.

Beagle update : #Canucks still in mix but price and term keeps going up and up because so many teams involved. Not done to Vancouver.




Tap out, Jim. Control yourself.

I honestly had no idea who Matthew Peca was. However, the state of this team I agree with you.

Its why i package in Sven. As for picks idk if we get good value when its later picks. Everyone wants a RHD or C prospect but hard to find that deal.

On another idea...

LE straight up for Brown?
About the same $/term but grit is added.
Both are really 3rd liners IMO

- Nighthawk

then take picks not prospects and get our own.. huge no to nylander

I’m hearing Roussel with #Canucks could be a 4 year deal worth just a tad over 3 million dollars per season.





damn


I still prefer this over 3 years at 2.5M+ over Beagle though, mainly due to age difference. But damn, this ufa market is gonna be silly with the cap going up.

Not good value...geez
Better to keep than guess & hope.
Once again Tanev is under appreciated.
Makes no sense to jettison him for a wing & a prayer such as that.

Schaller sure.
Idk who gets bumped for Holden let alone risk the waivers. Only Hutton at $2.8m comes to mind if JB gives up on him. If he clears then its all good.

Doesn't sound like they're in on any dmen though. I like the idea of letting the overhyped bottom 6 players get paid by other GM's and instead focusing on the 2nd wave of UFA's for cheap to potentially use as sign and flips.

3M+ for Roussel, 2.5M+ for Beagle....


I don't know, personally I'd rather just sign 1 legit player instead like a De Haan or something and go penny pinching for depth with guys like Schaller/Calvert/Peca/Etc.

You end up spending close to the same too.

that's part of the reason I want him


Team is already boring as (frank) to watch outside of Boeser snipes and Bo on the rush. I'd like to see some poop stirring brought back here.


Plus Roussel has been an effective bottom 6 player for years up until Hitchcock last year and he's still relatively young.

- Nucker101


I know he's a good bottom 6 guy, it's his antics that annoy me.

I'll take maroon at 20 million over Roussel at 12.

I'd prefer a none of the above option, and this is coming from someone who wants Roussel

DeHaan would be a nice addition, but would require too much term, never have liked any deals longer than 4 years.
I don't worry about how much a player makes, if they are a useful player is what matters most.
