No I didn’t, is he training in the off-season on his defensive game? Hope it works for him, if he was properly developed like we want the the young guys to be developed, I think he would be half decent.

I’m cautiously optimistic that he will step up next season. 🤞 Fingers crossed.

Just from clips I saw he was working on his transition game when retrieving pucks and him walking across the blue line and getting a shot off.

He's got a year or two to prove himself IMO. At least when Van is more ready to compete they will get to chose the best of the poopty D that's left over for 3rd pairing. Defensive depth is needed for playoff runs.

Van's not keeping Karlsson then. Sell him to Buffalo for 3 1st round picks, Good prospect and a 3rd?

too much imo, for 1 year of EK and taking that anchor.

i'd do:

EK and Bobby Ryan

for

Sven B, OJ, Dhalen, Dipietro and a 2nd.

If EK doesn't want to sign long term, i'd flip him right away back East for picks/prospects.

I don't see Canucks taking Ryan at all . I think the only move we make from here to the start of the season is Goldobin for a 4 th or Gagner for a 5 th or Granlund for a 6 th. Something very small. Bigger trades to come at TDL like MDZ

It would have to be a pretty sweet deal for me to take on Ryan's contract.

Wait until we get a second round pick for him then we will see who is laughing

I will be glad when Johnson is the new GM and we have someone smart enough to pull off savvy trades

She won with Authority...good for her.

She got a little emotional when the crowd broke out the anthem

I think he'll get back a decent return too.

He has playoff experience
he skates well and is physical
locker room guy/intagibles
can play 20 mins if needed(but probably shouldn't be playing top 4)


TDL is the best time to sell vets for picks, during the off-season is the worst time to sell vets for picks.

TB is probably going to be drafting very late in the 1st round.

If they want Karlsson they are going to have to give up some salary. Ottawa isn't going to take back cap dump salary from TB.

Hard to say until we actually see what kind of GM he is.

Imagine how happy Vintage would be.

Wasn't it rumoured at the TDL that Dorion wanted Ryan involved + Foote from TB or Glass from Vegas in the deal and both teams said no?


Now both teams get 1 less playoff run with Karlsson so I don't see why they do it now.

He's never made an NHL trade before.....
