Keep the picks

Exactly. And, truth be told, I'm not sure I would want Hall here due to cap reasons. If we sign a high-price FA at their peak, we become top-heavy like Toronto. Now, if he'll sign a very team-friendly deal, of course...

I was just going to say that. We didn't budget for a 9 mil player next year.

Pretty much no way Van can sign him for next year and then Pay the other players in years to come.

Just seems like WPG where they kept trading away picks for players but weren't ready to compete yet. Now they are struggling with depth issues.

Plenty of praise has been lauded out by Vegas Golden Knights’ players after the team changed their defensive format from a man-to-man concept to a zone defense. The belief was that teams were taking advantage of holes in their man-to-man concept, so head coach Gerard Gallant switched the team’s defense two games ago with the idea that a zone defense would give players more energy as it cuts down player movement.

“The way we’ve tweaked our D-zone (coverage), you have a little more energy,” Deryk Engelland said. “It’s less chasing around and more positional, so maybe that plays a little bit of a factor in it, and I think that’s a big part of why we wanted to change it.”

Never see praise for TG when he changes systems.

Do we have a system and has it ever been changed?

Antoine Roussel after #Comets win over Marlies: “This is my last game here, going up to Vancouver now.”
#Canucks

- VANTEL



Is it possible Roussel plays tomorrow?

Beagle being out with the hip still was not expected on this road trip. Ferland still with no contact is just nuts and Sutter is on no timeline now.

This team needs their balance as ZacMac and Graovac have shown to be less then stop gaps.

Flyers vs Canadiens on at noon, should be a great game. Flyers with the most points in the entire NHL for November, that Alain Vigneault is a helluva coach.

Physically he would be ready. I think he is now in Vancouver . He flew from TOR today so he will have a good nights sleep and he played today so he is is game shape.

I am not sure about the activation rules though.

Wondering more on Green inserting guess depends on tonight's outcome and if he does line rushes.

Believe Roussel has been activated given the assignment stint. They have enough guys on IR that he can be inserted no problem. Though after tonight possible demotion of Goldy or Zacmac or both.

Carson Focht scored for the hitmen today in the loss. Woo held pointless.

It would be pretty awesome if both could make team Canada this year.

Hoglander will probably earn a spot on Team Sweden. Costmar probably has a chance as well.

Podkolzin is going to be there for Russia.

Utunen for Finland and Plasek for the Czech team.

Might have to get cable back for the WJC to watch possible 6 Canuck prospects in best on best action.

Once Edler-Tanev are gone we'll have 10.4 mil.

Two replacement players would cost at league min 700K each. So 9 million and that doesn't leave any cap space again.

Mtl should offer Caulfield and 2x second round picks. Caulfield use to play with Hughes.
