14-3 Seattle

I see it differently. He took over a super old team - not a team like Boston who had stars in their twenties or TO who had a younger supporting cast to support their young draft picks - and made the playoffs his first year with some adept moves.

In support of the Sedins, he certainly made some mistakes trying to extend the team’s chance to win but at the same time he added a strong stable of young talent (including two superstars).

Given the team’s position when he took over, they only missed the playoffs four years in a row and are now on the way up. How many GMs can say they have done the same?

People will counter with “the cap” but those same people assume Petey and Hughes are getting $10M on their next deals when I expect the total will be closer to the $7 - 8M range (3 year deals comparable to Aho/Rantanen 5/6 year deals factoring in COVID). They have to be careful with Petey b/c he can accept an offer sheet but Hughes is like Brock and does not have arb or offer sheet rights.

They will resign their young guys, let the “character” vet deals expire and add in Benning’s draft picks to be mentored by the new leaders in Bo, Petey, etc.

Man, Jamal Adams from the Seahawks!

Can anyone here please explain why they think Markstrom would sign a contract where he literally has no say in where he might be playing beyond a few months?

Either, A) to be shipped out by the Canucks at the TDL to who knows where so they don't lose him to Seattle, or b) Willingly put up in the expansion draft to be taken by Seattle or c) Maybe ends up staying in Vancouver if Seattle doesn't select him or the Nucks choose to trade Demko

Who, as a FA would sign up for that kind of uncertainty?

The Sedin move was immense for the franchise...but other than that he left a pretty big mess for Nonis.

Um....no!

The Canucks are contenders, everyone wants to sign with Vancouver.

What a throw by Wilson

If I were him I’d want to sign with a team that A) doesn’t regularly give up 40+ shots a game B) will commit to a NMC next year to protect again expansion C) will commit to a five year term

Canadian Brooke Henderson leading the ANA Inspirational on the LPGA, I think it’s a women’s major championship, hope she wins.
