What is the over under on Chiasson making the opening night lineup? Don’t see the fit based on my limited knowledge of the player - TG likes dependability
- CoolerHeads

I'm not sure, Drance doesn't have him on a line but has him on the PP.

So Boeser for Tkachuk, then Tkachuk for Dumba? I like how you think

Boeser has been rounding out his game more and more.

However, if the offer came up, would you trade him for Brady Tkachuk?

- NewYorkNuck

Is this a serious question? If it doesn’t involve our 1st (any year) going to the Sens I’ll fly up and drive Boeser to the airport myself.

For the record, I’m a huge Boeser fan!! This candyass lineup needs some sandpaper.

Wife and I went to the D’Backs vs Dodgers game last Sunday and I had a foot long dog at the ballpark, wow was it good, but it was $15 just for the dog.

This was $7.25 for happy hour plus $5 for two beers, we get royally screwed in Canada on prices.

I’m flying to Orange Beach Alabama (Mobile) for a tuna fishing trip next week for $79 one-way, I can also fly to Seattle from Phoenix for $89 one-way. To fly from Phoenix to Vancouver is $600, it’s a complete rip-off in Canada.

Ty Carol 👍

So far other than Pod only Hunt is worth considering. The rest are AHLer call ups at best. OJ was ok but still his turns are horrible & a real concern. I suggest he never pinches til that’s fixed.

Roster cap wise paper 2 to Abby & start with 20 then LTIRetire Ferland to get back to 21 or more as needed.

If it is mental illness , I believe he can be put on LTIR. Drouin had it last year and was put on LTIR.
- VANTEL

If that’s the case did he disclose that before signing? If not then he signed a contract not in good faith imo. The situation is more than strange to say the least.

I could’ve got a 1/4 tank of gas in my truck for $15…gas is only $2.85 a gallon down here. But damn that dog was good

Thanks Carol.

The ad's between the paragraph's make it a bit annoying to read. (I know that's not your fault or problem)

Just thinking there could be a better set up for the ad's on the page.



To hockey now

I haven't really looked at the schedule this year. 4 times seems light for a division opponent this season even with another team added. Is it 2 away 2 home for the series?

- manvanfan


The math…

Division games 7x4=28
Inter conference 8x3=24
East conference 16x2=32
84 total games 2 to be removed.
It’s not light at all.

Thx much Carol.

Still odd we have Petey at three years and Hughes at six years. Kinda thought that would be reversed but oh well see where it goes. Glad they are signed however.

- LordHumungous

My take is Petey will cost more & the cap wasn’t there.

Really interesting to look at how Van's deals expire over the next 5 years. As much flak as Benning gets, once you get past this year, you can't deny that the team is set up quite well to have money coming off the books every single time a young RFA will need a raise. You can see the logic in who is signed for how long and why.

As stated in this video, it's predicated on the core being good enough to win a cup one day, which of course is an entirely different debate, but seeing it laid out like this made me understand the Petey and Hughes deals better.

I'm now framing this in my mind more like Jonathan Drouin's situation with the Canadiens last year. Basically, Hamonic will simply be away from the team — until he isn't.

Cheers Carol.
This was my thinking as well.

So he will be 25 and an RFA with arbitration rights. If they can’t come to a long term arrangement they can still go 1 year and he’s an RFA again.

I think they will look at a 6 year deal

Ideally but BB probably will want 8.
