A few people raising eyebrows about this hiring. Dorion has one year left and a lot of people think this has a lot to do with the owners greasy fingers wanting the rebuild to be over.

Blockbuster Nucker deal...
Do it!

I thought English fans were remarkably calm compared to the hooliganism of the 80s and 90s. Being an international football fan in those days was dangerous business.

And true, you can lecture anyone you want but it sounds hollow and a bit pious.

There was plent of that before the game.

Dreger and Freidman both reporting Keith to Edm making good progress . Deal to be made soon .

I’ve tried but it seems like no one really wants the 9th pick unless it comes cheap lol

He looked washed up these past couple of years, hopefully that continues if he gets traded to Edmonton

No one wants McTavish

2nd ranked prospect in NA central scouting and not even hockey buzzers are willing to trade up to get him

I'm just joking by the way, it's draft time.

Take the 6'6 goalie

The Athletic just put out a piece on the Canuckleheads if anyones interested...here's a small portion of it.

Available Cap Space and the Pettersson, Hughes effect

The Canucks have limited cap flexibility this offseason anyway, but exactly how much wiggle room they’ll possess will be entirely dependent on the term, treasure and timing of Elias Pettersson’s and Quinn Hughes’ second contracts.

Pettersson and Hughes, who are both represented by CAA, and the Canucks have been working on this for a while. Talks have been productive, but it would be somewhat surprising at this juncture if the club were able to get extensions done for both players prior to the July 17 roster freeze.

Functionally those contracts are going to take up the majority of Vancouver’s available cap space this offseason.

Modelling out Vancouver’s available cap space with more precision requires us to make a few key assumptions — a buyout for Jake Virtanen, Loui Eriksson’s salary buried below the line in the American League, Micheal Ferland on LTIR but not Jay Beagle, the bonus overage from Nils Höglander and Hughes’ performance bonuses — which brings us to an estimate of roughly $22.3 million in space with 14 players signed.

Even on bridge deals for Pettersson and Hughes, the club will need to earmark $14-15 million for those players in the event that Pettersson’s deal in particular isn’t done before July 28 — since he’s eligible for an offer sheet and Hughes isn’t.

The club’s available cap room is severely limited, which doesn’t leave the Canucks with a ton of great options for upgrading their roster in trades or free agency. Buyouts could help — a buyout of Braden Holtby’s deal would give the club a short-term infusion of $3.8 million in cap space, although it comes at the expense of their flexibility in 2022-23 — although, in truth, there are only really two contracts on Vancouver’s books (Holtby, Virtanen) that make practical sense to buyout at all.

If the club hopes to have the sort of aggressive offseason that could jumpstart a rebuilding effort that looked derailed through wide swaths of the 2021 campaign, finding ways to reallocate cap space on the trade market over the next two weeks will be an essential first step.

rejuvenated up in Cdn playing with McJesus.

Take the 6'8 goalie in the 5th(Boyko)

👍

the European Union is a political body. England didn’t separate from the European continent.

And for a Canuck fan to lecture another fan base on how to lose graciously is just a whole lot of awesomeness.

Keep up the solid work.

As soon as I turned it on I remembered why I never watch soccer.

So you're telling us a Canuck pick is worthless even before the pick is made?

Benning has fucked this organization deeper than I thought

it's possible, but he's long in the tooth so it would have to be a lesser role to keep him fresh

Trading the 9th overall makes zero sense. Look at the past 9th overalls and we can see the value at that spot.

Horvat
Sergachev
Zegras
Meier
Ehlers

It would be very unwise to trade that pick

Duncan Keith for Caleb Jones and a 3rd round pick.

Done deal

So #9 for Roy?
- 1970vintage

Yep, the Duncan Keith deal is done, and Chicago basically gets what it was after.

And I've got an expansion draft mea culpa and a Jacob Truscott sighting in the new blog:

https://hockeybuzz.com/bl...uscott-at-WJSS/194/112397

I don’t think you know the meaning of poutine you cheeseburgler.

So, what you’re saying is that if I were a fan of a city, state, country with an unblemished sporting reputation, with all around good behavior my opinion would be unbiased and regarded, but because I’m a Canuck fan I should just shut up?

Or are you suggesting that nobody should call for accountability, we should all just shut up?

Either way, I’m going to continue to virtue signal the poop out of this.
- 1970vintage

That’s not what I said at all.

We are in the age of feigned outrage so have at’er. Signal away.

Mctavish or Sillinger?
