One of Vey, McCann or Granlund should be ready to take that spot.
- belcherbd

I don’t see Granlund here past this season either, but we’ll see.

They'll be easier to move at the TDL, any dman who could skate in a straight line had some value at this past TDL.

So. .... we are gonna new left holding the bag again this year, great..

Or how they deploy them

both right shot.
- classic321

Boqvist will get top 2 minutes and pp, bouchard will play top 4minutes and pp2, like they will in the nhl.
Bets? Donald?

You actually think he'll make it through waivers?

I was wondering if anyone still reads roster postings? You answered my question.
- VANTEL

Never did. Still don't.

Who do you have playing 2C and 3C if Sutter is gone? Someone coming back in a trade?
- NorthNuck

Beagle and Gaudette.

Never did. Still don't.
- Marwood

Horvat Granlund Boeser

Fans commiting to a rebuild in Vancouver isnt the problem.....

Head office not willing to turn over our young talent is the problem.

Apperantly We've been rebuilding for a few seasons now.

Could have fooled me, as well as the rest of the fan base....
- vancity787

Yup.

I don't know if Gagner or Hutton will be here opening night
- VANTEL

Say its so Joe...

If I was GM, and wanted to make realistic moves before opening night.

Gagner, Sutter, Hutton and Markstrom would be shipped out.

I’d also let Goldobin go, I don’t see anything in him that makes me believe he will be an nhl player in 2-3 years.

Thats a 101% move to youth.
Lots of fun & pain resulting.
Wise to push kids into the fry pan?
Takes ballz but high reward lots of risk.
I could be convinced to do it...

Hit me with your roster 😂👍

Yeah, I’m all for moving vets but 3 guys who actually do help insulate the youth are Edler, Tanev and Sutter. The rest of the vets aren’t really doing much heavy lifting.
- Nucker101

More pragmatic 👍
Roster me up 😜

Beagle and Gaudette.
- dshiddy

Pretty sure Beagle can only play 4C, he's essentially malholtra: Great on face-offs and special teams, not going to be an impact in the o-zone. In excellent shape, work horse type of guy. Gagner is the odd man out IMO.

And Sutter will be?

My guess Beagle gets the 3rd most icetime as a C.

Sutter had pretty high atoi, beagle plays 12 minutes a night and always has. Don't get it twisted. Sutter is middle 6, Beagle is 4c and has been his whole career.

I think Juolevi will

Will Beagle or Gagner/Gaudette/Schaller play more is the point. My guess is Beagle gets more min than he's used to

So who or how does TBL trade for cap space if EK is going there?


Killorn/Callahan/Coburn totals $14m cap
-LW 2yrs/plug 2yrs/plug 1yr
TBL $14m + 4.45m - 6.2m = $12.7m cap
Need 4 F’s after EK’s contract say maybe close to 8/80m leaving $2.7m left over.


Hutton/Sven totals $6.2m
Press box for Callahan or a flip hopefully
Killorn top 6 replacement for Sven
Or Killorn/AG/JV 3rd line
Coburn maybe TDL dump
Other trades still possible as well.

So is the cap gain by TBL enough to swing that deal? Does anyone want to slag me? Does the trade help us? Open season now

😂😂

The rumor mill has been working overtime this morning on a potential Ottawa Senators-Tampa Bay Lightning trade revolving around superstar defenseman Erik Karlsson, and now Travis Yost of TSN tweets that the teams are in the process of trying to find a third party to facilitate the deal, as balancing salaries is a key part of any transaction of this magnitude. Karlsson is expected to only be traded to a team if a contract extension can be worked out, while the Lightning are not expected to be one of the teams willing to eat Bobby Ryan’s contract. That contract could be exactly why the third team needs to be involved, though Tampa Bay themselves would likely need to move out contracts to fit in a Karlsson extension.

JB should definitely be in on this. Van could even send Ottawa some scraps so to make a spot in the top 6 for Bobby Ryan.

4yrs/$7.25m is hard to swallow

Callahan is going to NY for the three way deal and Kucherov is going too

Odd man out unless a great season

Bobby Ryan is pretty much Loui Eriksson for an extra $1.25 m/year.

It would have to be a pretty big incentive to take on that contract for Vancouver.
