Hmmm that is a steep price, but, watching LE for 4 years and knowing there is 2 more is also a steep price

Would do that IMO as a Canucks fan, I do think JV still has more to give!

Eriksson and an unprotected 1st? On behalf of the NHL....

Try Eriksson, unprotected 1st AND Podkolzin....eh maybe a bite. Too much? Keep Loui!

Wait how many top 6 forwards does Vegas need? UFA? Only top 6 that would upgrade would be Hoffman, everyone else meh or a project.

Package Fleury and Glass and I bet Detroit would take it.

Still suffering from those concussions as a Bruin? He has declined a LOT.

Canucks cant afford to trade Loui - Who would score the empty net goals? Who would be able to inspire the top tier memes? Until we can get a replacement for both of those things, we need to keep him on the roster.

IMO, Virtanen is not incentive enough to take on LE's contract. He got a bit better last year, but he's still heavily trending towards bust status. I would hope Ottawa would ask for a better asset to take on 2 years of LE at 6 mil.....like a 1st rd pick next year.

LE and a 2021 1st

for

2021 5th

or something like that.

Assuming that he's already been paid his signing bonus for the year, I'd be all over that deal if I was in charge of a bad team. Very good chance the Vancouver pick is a top ten pick next year.

But salary is only $5M in total for both years. For a team needing to reach the floor, I would take on Louie, plus the 1st rounder. He can help you achieve the floor, get you another top pick and play a bottom 6 role for 2 seasons until the youngsters are ready.

Are you paying attention Fitzie? Do it!

Wasn't that supposed to happen last year? Oh wait they only dismantled the defending champs and took Vegas to 7. And we didn't regress that much this off-season. And our young studs are only getting better each year and now have some valuable playoff experience to build off of.

I think all teams are already at the cap floor, so it is going to cost a lot more than a 1st to dump Loui.
As a Canuck fan I was opposed to signing him in the 1st place, we are stuck with him or we lose some valuable assets to get rid of him.

If I were AZ I'd take that deal to get a 1st rounder back. 2021 is looking to be a poop draft though.

How do you think the season would've gone without Markstrom last year? Sure, everything can go well and they make a playoff run again, but it's more likely they miss the playoffs.

What have they done to address the fact that they were one of the worst defensive teams last year?
