Good signing by Mtl though.
Apparently no NTC or NMC included.
Their top 9 looks strong w a good mix of vets and ELCs.

Drouin-Suzuki-Anderson
Tatar-Danault-Gallagher
Toffoli-Kotkaniemi-Armia

our top line winger is Mtl's 3rd liner.

Drouin over TT and Tatar must be a spread the wealth sort of thing

No Hog? Think he makes the team before Podz. This year in fact
- CanuckDon


Hope he does but not banking on it. Given AHL status, he might have to haha

Still don’t buy it. He gave JB the green light to acquire a guy making 8M, 10.5M, 10.5M, 10.5M during the next 4 years. Even with giving up a Sutter or Roussel + Virtanen, that’s the exact opposite of penny pinching.

I think ownership flat out told JB that he has to ask them before signing anyone or trading for any anyone with term. And ownership is only approving big names like OEL.

I think this is a lack of trust between ownership and management.

Then you move on from JB, there's no rationale in their moves. Letting all their UFA's walk to supposedly save $ to sign EP & QH. Then make a play on OEL and his HUGE salary. So what's the plan?

Bruins “insider”:

Murphy: Last 18h sources confirm #NHLBruins looked into acquiring MacKenzie Weegar given arbitration+#FlaPanthers shopping him. Speculation was he‘d end up w/ #NHLJets. Sunday it appeared 3-way trade w/ WPG, FLA, VGK hit a snag bc another team jumped in. Source claimed it was BOS


Weegar is underrated, he’s been the best D partner for Ekblad so far in his career.

- VanHockeyGuy


I agree you should move on at that point, the only theory that makes sense is offering 1 year deals to UFA for this season and then taking advantage of teams before the expansion draft

Since we'll never actually know the truth, i'm going to go with the 'wait out the salary anchors' theory and reload for the following year, hoping to take advantage of other teams in similar salary crunch situations.

I don’t believe these radio hosts, but for those that do:

Moj is saying the negotiations between the Canucks and some of the players they ignored (Tanev and Stecher) got personal. Basically said there's a lot of stuff they can't tell. Wow.

Hogs for sure in their plans as they want to dedicate $$$/Cap to finding D improvements.

Toews (New York Islanders) to Colorado for 21 and 22 2nd round picks. What a steal by Sakic, what a gm that is

Wow, great deal by Sakic. Toews is really underrated. Isles fans really like him.

I think we'll see a lot of young faces in the line up. Hopefully that doesn't stunt their growth.
- NewYorkNuck


Lack of other professional leagues or spots to get time can make it a good thing to find development time on Canuck roster.
