It was over when they started trading 1st and 2nd round pics over the last year for vets even though their media was crawling all over us for trading just 2nd rounders and signing old players... not quite Marleua old though...


They might of still served the rebuild in a big way by having Liljegren fall to them at 17... but the big rumour was they were trying to trade that 1st or the 2018(more value) in a trade for Hamonic... so they may have lucked out by failing on Hamonic... but you can clearly see that the rebuild was over a year ago. The 1st rounders have been for sale last, this and next draft already...

They are already talking window closing because they have to pay their young guns

Also, Liljegren was no gift that guy has rocks in his head and would have kept falling like Kostin did. They are fooling themselves if they think he's a savior that will lead their D.

The Knock on him was like Chychren when he fell. Great tools just no toolbox to put it together and process the game at NHL level. But unlike a power forward like JV who can get away with that a D man can't especially if he's top 4.

Yes last years stats belong in last year.

Fabian brunnstrom

His salary really sucks but they can fit it in and who knows what will happen.. Im not really sure what to think, hard not to like their top 9 right now though, Babcock seems to have a hard on for Marleau.
- ClarksonDavid

Nothing wrong with Marleau other than old & overpaid for 3yrs.
I thnk he will fit in fine but D is the problem still.

Another lockout coming

if owners dont like the prices then dont allow your GMs to sign such absurdity. But they do allow it so they should STFU and stop whinning

Yeah hopefully Gardiner can have another good year and Rielly Progesses. Marleau should be fine hut could also be a complete mess, 3 years is kinda (frank) all though

I just pictured the Canuck future, future Pres. Sedin, future GM Sedin, they could share an office and even push their desks together.
- A_SteamingLombardi

better yet they should join together like an amoeba and become a larger, better single player

I believe the Marleau signing means JVR is getting moved.
He & Galchenyuk both r in the same boat.
Both teams want too much in todays market.
Just ask Sakic & his moronic asking price for Duchene.

Both need a good real stay at home partner.
Their growth can only be so much.

How is the teaching of cap recapture going with the mentally challenged?

Did it move?

Loui erikson had less points then marleau had goals last year and will have 3 years left when Marleaus done this deal.. Im not a huge fan of the signing but theyre not really comparable contracts. I could defiantly see Marleau only having like 20 goals 15 assists this year tho
- ClarksonDavid

Learn math. 2 years after Marleau's deal is done.

No recapture needed, it's a 35+ so there's no getting out of it, they will have to pay someone to take it off their hands.

isn't it funny that in the last 6 months GMJB is probably one of the best GM's in the league with the shrewd moves and trades of players no one thought trade-able

Did it move?

I heard he's a dunker too.
