Come on Vantal, I get your upset and not thrilled about the sedins contracts but this is a bit much.
- Bieksa#3

Would you take Daniel over Schenn.


Numbers don't lie. Sedins have not scored this year. If Daniel returns he might be on pace for 16 . That is not being upset it is ludicrous

Congrats. I'm looking at townhouse/condos in Calgary.

I'm just glad its almost done with. The whole process is a bit nerve racking and has made for a few restless nights

Just stopped in for a bit. Just sold my house and am in the process of buying another. Closing April 4th. So between work, family, lawyers and packing. I'm busy as hell
- Bieksa#3

Nice! Are you in BC, or elsewhere?

Honest question who would you rather at this time and going forward , Brayden Schenn or Daniel SEdin.
- VANTEL

Is both an option?

I hear ya. Playing with real dollars determines how comfortable things will be for the next couple of years. Hope it goes well.

Lawyers...money in the toilet if I ever saw it. I've had to deal with them quite a bit recently and for the fees they've received I'm expecting the cure for cancer to be part of the package.

Good luck with the new house. Hopefully you made a tidy profit on the last one.

How is giving up a plethra of 1st Rounders of which are gonna be fairly high, going to help us. That's a patch work fix. As I laid out earlier the canucks need to move Edler for a young potential top 6 forward like Marcus Johannsson, sign Moulson and perhaps somebody else to short term big money deals.

If you offered Schenn 5 mil Holmer would match in a heartbeat. You have to decide do you want the player and what is the number that he couldn't accept.


Like I said earlier, if I was GM I would offer sheet Schenn 7.5 and buy out Daniel. very bold move but would set the team right in so many ways.
- VANTEL

The Sedins are still your best players. I agree with others...they just need some actual support and they'll bounce back.

The million dollar question. It's far easier said than done but the hope was that if Kesler and Edler were traded we could get some guys in like Granlund or Schenn or someone of top line potential in the near future. No doubt a key UFA signing would need to come in but with the added cap space it's a possibility.

Unfortunately we don't have that Logan Couture waiting in the wings but if Horvat can hit the ground running at the NHL level that would help expedite the transition.
- AlexF

Excellent points.

If you package Kesler and Edler you could def get a top line guy that's just stuck behind other guys at the moment, which would be younger as well too. Horvat may be able to play a top six role next year so that would be another spot as well.

Is both an option?
- LeftCoaster

It actually is.

yeti was saying we would have a first line of 7 mil. I was saying it doesn't need to be.

We can have all three very easily. Buy out Booth or B ur rows is an easier way out.in reality we don't need to buy out anyone to offer sheet Schenn though

You had to sell your house too right?

Lawyers fees aren't that much is real estate. Land transfer taxes My wife is a law clerk so I can't complain to much anyway.

Some may say Kesler has been our best this year but potato potato.

Nice... so cost of living isn't completely ridiculous! A buddy of mine sent me a job posting at UBC which would be awesome, apart from the fact that we'd have to move out of a decent house here and spend $200k more to get a small apartment near to UBC.... unless I wanna commute for an hour each way every day

6.1m - 7.7m is 2 1sts, a 2nd and a 3rd.

Who would you have replace him? I don't think it's Torts per se; a coaching change is usually going to take some time to translate into on-ice success...

In my expieriance it all evens out. Most places that have a high cost of living also have higher paying jobs

That is correct Bieksa 3 said a plethora . I think he assumed it would be 4 like the old CBA.

Im thinking moving to calgary and thought about the money I would save in just buying everyday essential for me and the animals would be close to 10 000 a year that's a lot of money month to month and I should be able to make comparatively to what I make now.

Yep. It firms up next week

Awesome.

It would start at about $80k, which is okay... Mrs Lums would be able to transfer within her company, but they actually pay more here in Edmonton than for comparable jobs in Vancouver for some reason...
