My blood pressure is fine .It was checked on Monday. I don't think a person as screwed up as you Pig Man wants to be taking swipes at personal lives here .

Carlson Cole Tavares Green are not coming to this fiasco . They will be offered top end money by teams that will compete,

Secondly stop your stupid fuken trolling . We have zero chance of making the playoffs . Next year should be about moving up from the bottom 5.

Chara made 4 mil last year . He is the biggest toughest Dman still with a 105 mile an hour slap shot. He was a great role model for MacAvoy and would be great for OJ up until TDL . Much like Vanek this year sign and move.

We could of course bring back your two favorite slugs at 10 mil and NMC to show the team how to go 0-16 again at the end of the year.

How much would d3haan cost per year in your fantastic line-up? You've got chara for 7.5m and d3haan for how much? You have an okD on the team, not a horrible line-up but what about forwards? Oj should start the year in the minors with Guadette , Dahlen and Patterson.
I just don't get your desire for the kid's?

Remember when Bonino was not good enough for Canucks ?

he's a great 3rd line center, I wouldn't go further than that. I think they felt Sutter was similar but with more character.

Julie Robenhymer was on SN650 the other night . She thinks Gaudette is ready for NHL. She says the gap from CHL and NCAA has closed. She feels there are some players that come right from College Hockey and are ready for NHL

Penciling a prospect for the minors prior to training camp, to me, is literally the exact same as penciling a prospect in for opening night line up (as far as being dramatic). Many, including myself, had Boeser as a lock to spend the year in Utica for development prior to this season, but it literally would not have done him any good. I have ZERO idea how Dahlen/Pettersson/Gaudette can translate their skills to the pro level, but I think penciling any prospect in for one league prior to development camp is dumb. Let them fight it out, and if they deserve it, give them a spot

I'd give him a few game trial up here this year, see how he does. Send him home with a training program (or even tell him to stay in Van) and come back to camp ready. His play should determine it, got to be consistently at a high level otherwise you stifle their development by putting them in early IMO.

not sure what she was known for, seemed like a nice enough person....

Sure, let them try to earn a job. If I were a GM and predicting my lineup for next year, which is part of my job, I wouldn't have any of those guys in it. I'd have them in a Utica position, because they have't earned it. For example, I have Bo penciled into the Canucks lineup for next but still fully expect him to come to camp fighting. I think it's pretty fair to judge players for where they are now, knowing they may be better later.

I don't understand how you can pencil a prospect in for Utica over the NHL based off their Junior/college/SEL seasons. The calder race this year has some amazingly talented kids, and it just goes to show that kids are better developed in junior/ncaa than ever before. I just don't think you should pencil a prospect in for either the pro's or the minors before development camp. Boeser in Utica this year would have been a mistake, no reason to believe, at this point (its impossible to translate our prospects seasons into NHL) that Pettersson/Gaudette can not only make the team, but excel on the team.

I think she did some ncaa hockey prospect reports. might have been her last assignment here.

She was quite well liked, and blonde so she had a loyal following of basement posters,

Think she wrote mostly on the Islanders and college hockey.

So you’re saying Cedarholm and Cassels could be in the NHL next year?

- CanuckDon

I have changed my views, I must admit. I thought Boeser's skating was very suspect in his 9 game tryout last year. He proved my wrong, and has ultimately changed my views on prospects making teams out of junior

- 1970vintage

I am saying Cedarholm and Stewart probably should have never received contracts, and Cassels is probably a career AHL'er

I wonder how many goals he could have scored against AHL goalies.

You are looking at giving this team a cleansing , It is a series of moves. I am sure you didn't see Hutton Puoliot Markstrom Neilsson Sedins on the team


It doesn't have to be De Hann it could be a Hamhuis or another steady bottom pairing

Out

Neilsson and Markstrom 6.1 mil

Hutton and Pouliot 3.6 cost

Henrik and Daniel 14 mil


In

Chara 7.5 x1

Hamhuis 2 x1
Ward 4.5 x2

??? Bo Boeser
Sven Petterson Jake
Granlund Sutter Archibald
Gaunce Gaudette Goldobin


Edler Chara
OJ Tanev
Hamhuis Gudbrandson

Ward

I might have just flagged this? Sorry?

Pretty sure I’ve seen both those guys penciled into a “next season” lineup on here... agree, players are more ready then they have ever been, blah blah blah.
