I’m still drunk...but I’ll say this. Quinn is a heroe with his age group. Tkachuk, Norris etc. Literally all the top American kids were with Quinn and they had a similar response. Why are you here when you have already been drafted? Common response “ Quinn’s bro is being drafted, we are here for Quinn. “ Quinn is a leader


Edit. The American top prospects are incredibly tight. Way more than the Canadian kids. Two of kids that were drafted by Boston said they wish they were drafted by Van. Just saying.

Also, I swear Quinn has grown. He looks 5’11 easy

Needs a latte for that to happen or some indica

3 teams in 4 years plus he's a locker room cancer I've heard.

Pass.
- LordHumungous

At least it isn’t 3 teams in 1 year.

Who knew Don was a hockey puck, I wonder if he’s actually a 19/20 year old girl?

It would (will) be a mistake for the Canucks to sign Gardiner. It will take less than a full season for Hughes to pass him on the depth chart. Then the Canucks will have a $7m 3rd pairing D for another 6 years. We female dog about Hutton and he’s making $2.8...

Agree. If they are going all in Tyson Barrie is the play. Absolute stud. Barrie over Myers and Gardiner anyday.



Hughes and Barrie on PP1 would be lethal.

the avs want a boatload in return I am sure.

Did you tell him you’d take Dobson in a redraft?
- DrChristianTroy

lol. That would have been awesome.

I can just picture it. Don leans in real close to QH and says in a drunken slur “I would have taken Dobson”. Leans back out and finishes his drink.

I’ll play rosterhawk for a min...

To VGK:
Juolevi
Gaudette

To VAN:
Stastny salary dump (2yrs @ $6.5)
2020 1st
C.Miller

Gives VGK cheap young contributors w/ upside + saves them cap space to keep WKarlsson. Gives us “win now” secondary scoring, a young RHD under contract for 3yrs @ a nice number, plus washes out the 1st we’ll lose in the JT trade.

Much rather pursue trades (like this or similar) than sign Myers.

If we could then bury Loui, find a trade partner for Sutter (for a prospect/mid rounder) and throw $$$ at Panarin...

Panarin Petey Boeser
Pearson Bo Miller
Baer Stastny Leivo
Roussell Beagle MacEwen

Hughes Tanev
Edler Miller
Hutton Stecher

Sell Baer for a pick at the TDL after he puts up nice #’s with Stastny 5v5/on PP2 all year + plug in Hoglander who just lit it up on a line with Loui in Utica (lol)

Stastny, Edler off the books in 2yrs when Petey gets 💰 💰 💰.
- DrChristianTroy

One issue I see $$$$$$$$$$$$

After this weeks acquisitions Canucks have 17 .7 mil in cap space. You would need to take on 11 mil for Stasny and Miller 7.5 for Boeser , sign Panarin and then sign the rest of the Canucks.

Yes you have 20 forwards currently under contract and some need to be moved , but until that happens your plan is a no sir.

The 1st was conditional. Not a big deal bro.


- LordHumungous

But the condition is what year they receive it, not if they get one or not.

Trading away 1st during a rebuild always stings a little for a fan base craving high draft picks.

Flyers did the same thing days earlier only worse. That is the cost of getting a top 6

Yeah, I don't think putting Van in cap troubles in the answer.

It was clearly a well thought out plan.

What do you think VGK would give up in picks to save 6-7 million in cap space right now?

The 1st was conditional. Not a big deal bro.


- LordHumungous

The conditions are it’s a 2020 or 2021, but it’s still a 1st any way you slice it.

I think Barrie was for the 10th so that ship has sailed

On the bright side looks like Bo will get to play with an actual NHLer.

Flyers traded a first?

- LordHumungous

I’m cautiously pessimistic.

Don’t think they make the playoffs this year, making it a 2021 pick with no protection. At that point, all bets are off.

The conditions are it’s a 2020 or 2021, but it’s still a 1st any way you slice it.

If it's the 31st pick?

Interesting article on sportsnet about Patrik Stefan. Specifically about the draft with the twins. Burkie with some funny quotes on negotiating for those draft picks.
