Players are going to continue to get paid more, that's the reality of hockey as a business. He'll get Pastrnak money unless he slows down

I'd prefer to just sign UFA's who take discounts to sign here. They'll rub off on Brock and make him care less about getting paid.

3-11-2 in our last 16. Henrik has zero goals in his last 24 games. I think daniel has 1. I don't think they are doing insanely well as 2nd liners currently.

But they are putting up points. The same as they did last season when the team was horribly bad.

Hard no to resigning the Sedin's at any amount.

30 points each at 42 games, is very solid for 15 minutes pernight on average

I wonder if JB likes Matt Hendricks. A great leader, fights, hits, goes to the net scores a bit. Bee nthe heart and soul of the Jets. Nice Dorsett replacement.

The Sedins have been racking up points since the injury wave.

I'm kind of indifferent to Kane. I agree and thought the last offseason was JB's best, MDZ/gagner/Vanek, 2/3 is pretty good. none of them too long-term. That's the first TDL/offseason where Aquaman let him off the leash and said "ok, rebuild is on" IMO. Each other year has been overestimating his old vets.

I don't want him around Brock. He'll turn him into a pig too then. Then what? We pay Brock 12.5M per season like the idiot Oilers?
- Nucker101


Give Brock some credit. He's a high quality person obviously. Which players has Kane ruined in his career so far?

They have. 30 points in 42 games each is respectable for sure. I dont expect any less though given their skill levels, cap hit, PP time and percentage of offensive zone starts. I know it seems like im ragging on them, but for 14 million in cap hit, i expect nothing less.

The team has also gone 3-11-2. When they were playing 4th line and not putting up points the team was 14-10-4. Clearly they aren't helping win too many hockey games.

I don't see why it's a long shot, JT is a smart guy.

The future, money, city, locker room are all things that would appeal to him.

- Nucker101


Perhaps.

I don't know, the other poster claimed Kane only cares about $$$, not me.

Brock can change, people change.

Brock may request a trade if players start rubbing off on him...

If any prolofic ufa is going to sign here (EK, JT, Neal, etc). It will be because of what they see in boeser and horvat, and not what they see in the Sedins. Bright future, cup contention, solid showing of youth is how to attract these guys.
Im interested in josh bailey. Hes been solid, and tavares isnt going to be cheap. One will re-sign and im not sure the other will too.

I don't like suggesting who to sign. We don't have the pro scouting reports on these guys or the natural scouting talent that gm's and scouts have. I'm mostly just curious about who JB likes.

JB tried to trade 2 vets the TDL before and they wouldn't cooperate. Did JB do this behind FA's back?

I dont get into high profile ufa signings ever cause, like you said, we havr zero insight on background canuck hockey ops, but lesser profile ones are fun and more realistic. Karlsson, tavares havr been hilarious topics in here lately.

I don't like this thinking. Why shouldn't we excited about potentially signing a star player to lead our next core? We have an appealing sales pitch.
