Still nothing official from the NHL but all the top insiders are saying Tor /Edm as the cities.

They will be top 10 next year but we both know we already have a bet on that next year.

I’ve still to commit on that. This pause has me take pause 😜

i think more relevant bets will be if there is a season next year or if there will be a 2020 cup winner.

That is very true. I seriously have doubts about next year.

I see only Vancouver getting in late if the NHL satisfies Dr Bonny. That said it’s Oiltown/Hogtown to be announced.

i don't think they'll finish this season (and not because owners and players can't reach agreement.)

It is crunch time. There will be an announcement in the next day or two. No time to revisit. July 10 is coming quick.

Get out from under those vet contracts & the cap almost heals itself. Easy to say but huge to achieve. Some pain to come.

Yeah . No argument there. I can see a round or two and then shut it down.

Forget giving assets for Risto and...

Barrie 4/4.5m (covid discount)
Tanev & Stecher gone.

Hughes Myers
Edler Barrie
Rathbone Rafferty
Benn

OJ 1st call-up for D.

Thoughts?

I see it as Gary wants Vegas bad like VHG wants a hooker. Maybe a last ditch effort to appease Dr Bonny. Yes crunch time.

As we are discussing now I think all this spit balling is going to be a waste of time due to no season next year.

Yes Benning likes Barrie but there are so many possibilities of what can happen between now and the start of the next year which could be Oct 2021. All of this cap talk will more than likely be a waste of time.

The Bruins are stupid so it’s ok for the Canucks to be stupid also...

Canucks draft record in thsame amount of years is simply much better than most teams whether it’s combined nhl games or points or whatever. Jb has done a phenomenal job in that department. You’re going to miss some, whether the pick is high or not.

With the right precautions, she could still be in play.

The thought of myers or barrie playing top pair makes me want to vomit. Just complete liability in PK or against top lines. Barrie=risto=myers. All are second line guys that can’t be relied on without the puck. All have offensive skills(sadly for us myers least of all) that make them desirable.

It’s been a crappy spring and summer so far. I would kill for three sunny days in a row. With all this free time because of the pandemic it would have been nice to have some sun.
- bloatedmosquito


It's been killer back here. I'd say 15-20 days over 27 since may 20th.

Safe bet. That would make the next season highly in doubt.

For sure on all of that. My rostering will get rusty & dry up I fear. Lol

This is true. Some other teams have done very well from loading up on picks.

I feelya huge. Our lack of shutdown D & options are slim. It’s just a thought. I don’t like it much either but don’t see much to be done about it being other teams RHD are going to be hard to compete to get.

Eriksson and Sven are his babies.

I warned people back from 2008- 2016 trying to build around the Twins was a huge mistake and here we are today with only two more years left of Loui.

Tanev is going to re-sign. Hughes likes him. Green likes the pair and has since day one. He wants to be here. It’s not a sexy move, but he and marky keep this team aiming for playoffs next year. Toffoli would be really nice, but i see him maxing his value somewhere like colorado.
