Safe travels!!

I'm trying to sound like a bridge jumper. I just want to see some high end potential in our pool.

I think we are now referring these types of players as "scraps"?
- bloatedmosquito

Every organization needs SCRAPS ( ) aka depth. We have plenty of contract spots.

Having a bunch of Bozaks wouldnt be the worst thing, but I agree with your point that the 50 contract limit is not something you want to burn through for the sake of maybe finding the next Burrows at the bottom of the heap
- WhiteLie

I like the idea of adding 1-2 college kids a season if they have a shot but no point signing them just because. With reese going home, brickley back for his JR year, buddy going to dallas, there really isnt much left worth signing.

Id maybe try Foo or vechioone.. Other than that there isnt much to look at.

We arent to close to the 50 contracts. Were at 47 I think, with boeser yet to sign. Keep in mind we have several utica players under contract until the end of this season, most probably wont be resigned. Grenier, NIlson, zalewski will all be given there walking papers.

Have fun!!! You have my number, check in daily and I will tell you who to ban when you return. You may as well ban Lefty before you go, that would be great!

Once again Makita, so sorry I couldn't do it. Way too busy. Thanks for asking though!

I agree...Dallas could be in trouble.

I don't get it either - although I'm not sure how much hype there really is...Vecchione, Foo, Kelleher, Sheely, Jobst, Ferguson, Gambardella, Smith - all better options and all unsigned.
- Brooks_Light

Yes they look good. Though do they want to sign here? You saw how ZAR snubbed us for Pen's Scranton.

Mitch Hults, Center, Lake Superior State, what do you think about him?

Kerfoot I'd take for free in August or discard an unwanted contract for him now.

big 2 points for the yotes last night.. only 5 points back and we still have to shut down a bunch of key players

Its not a snub he wanted to play for his home town.. Its like how its sounds kerfoot wants to sign in vancouver..

If I am from van and this team is rebuilding I would be looking to sign here to.

Only the emotionally fragile would consider it a snub.

Great, we're becoming the safe injection site for NHL scraps.

I know we have space, but these kids have to get multiyear ELC's and others will see what opportunities they are given which will influence their decision making. I think unless they are confident in a kid being NHL calibre they should be cautious on signing them. Chicago and Pitt are attractive options because they have proven they will give opportunity for prospects to play with elite players. So far newcomers to VAN do not get that (minus Stecher)

If the Canucks were in the same position as the Stars my arms would be so tired from waving my pom poms on here. Yes, they are bad right now but all that youth makes me drool.
- bloatedmosquito

Well Dallas have a great track record of drafting gems in the later rounds and actually holding on to their prospects. AND they actually develop their youth and inject them into the lineup slowly over time - what a mind blasting theory right?

Honka, Faksa, Shore, Lindell, Oleksiak, Ritchie, Nemeth and KLingberg all drafted within the last 6 years and currently their core, other than Benn, Sequin, Spezza of course.

Losing Goligoski, Demers and Oduyas decline have drastically crippled them. They're down about 40 goals from last year and they've currently allowed (after tonight) as many goals as their entire last season.

Could make for an interesting game on April 6th when we play the Coyotes, the battle for basement supremacy.

I agree but we will have prospects coming off entry level deals as well(cassels, probably wont be resigned). Other than Gaudette, daheln and our 1st this year we dont have any must signs for next season. We can afford to gamble on 1-2 but like you said they have to have potential to be NHL players no point in just random dpeth signings.
