Green Day sold their souls to Bettman to get this NHL gig.

That’s who I was thinking about, I haven’t looked at their cap situation though. Makes it easier for them to trade Kase for a dman too

Looking at moves made over last 8 months its clear the Canucks want a beefier and grittier line up that has decent speed and skill. Sven and Goldy don't fit in the new look and no trades to be had.

LE might still get waived when Roussel returns. As long as there are no other injuries. Plus the Gaudette factor. Determined by Green fitting AG in and how he holds up.

For the freakout fetishists, I'd suggest heading on over the HFCanucks to get your fix where they're just as pissed about Alex freakin Biega being waived as they are about Sven.

9 million in cap space with 3 more players needed according to capfriendly. Could just pick up Baert and not really worry about making a trade. They wanted Faulk though remember. He off market now.

I would like to see a claim put in on Sprong. Kind of a head case like Goldobin but with more hockey smarts and a higher skill level.

You can't put 10 players on waivers

Personally I'm not into trying to copy the team that keeps losing in the first round of the playoffs to the exact same team. It's Toronto if youre wondering but I guess to each their own.

Welp.

I predicted Gaudette, Biega and Goldobin would be sent down and didn't see the case for passing on Sven.

Happy to see Gaudette stick.
Like some have said, it's not that Sven has been great, but i was hoping he'd provide 15-20g on a 3rd line.
I still like him more than LE and Schaller, although hope that i'm wrong there.

So what does the lineup look like now:

Ferland - Pettersson - Boeser
Pearson - Horvat - J.T. Miller
Leivo - Sutter - Virtanen
Eriksson - Beagle - Gaudette
Schaller, Motte

Not bad.
i actually like those top 3 lines.
Hopefully Gauds can provide some jump to that 4th line.

Here's to hoping the lineup can stay healthy and Roussel can bump Eriksson at some point.

Really not seeing much of a chemistry/identity for that bottom 6. Just looks like a mish mash of random players

That 4th line is bizarre, i agree.
I think the 3rd could be decent and each player could get 15-20 geno's.

I feel like most of the playoff teams have lines more of an identity and cohesion. Just not seeing it there.

Fair.

I don't see this squad as a playoff team necessarily.
So many things have to go right for that to happen.
I think we have to see some regular season games before talking playoffs.

The more I look at the waiver list, the more I think Baertschi won't get claimed. Which to me makes it look like an even stranger move, but oh well.

Can't see teams grabbing him over Sprong or Ho-Sang.

You'd think the Oilers would be interested. They're wingers are

They won't want Sven, Lucic would show up and break his head in the first game they play vs Calgary and he'd be on LTIR for the year.

You can thank Petey the beauty for his late game goal in the final 5 minutes of the season, Don that lazy and lucky (frank) and ASL for being a generous and creative gentlemen.

Hockey pool
We are going with 4 goalie starts per week this year instead of 3?
