My boy Dougie Hamilton is having a good year
- VANTEL

for the right price, yup

Agreed.
Canucks need top 3 pick in order to get him, he might be available at 4th, but I doubt it.
- Reubenkincade

From the majority of draft sites Podkolzin is 3, Byram 4, then it gets a little muddled with Dach, Cozens, Boldy, Krebs, Turcotte etc.

Either way I think we get a great player picking in the top 7 or so.

IYP - If we do get Byram any chance he steps into the lineup next year or is he a back to junior for a couple years kid?

I hear he's a lockroom cancer.
We only sign upstanding good character dudes.
- dbot

With very little hockey talent, but great guys

Sounds like my beer league team.

He is bang on like usual. No panarin and even more importantly - no EK
- CanuckDon

That probably will not shut him up but I applaud the futile effort.

I believe he is very close to being nhl ready, unfortuneately, he would be sent back too Juniors.
He would be ready, if he could get a bit of seasoning in the AHL.
They really need to fix that rule about Juniors, that are exceptional status, having to go back.

That probably will not shut him up but I applaud the futile effort.

Panarin and EK are both pipedreams, it's true.
We need to look at the 2nd-4th tier of UFA's, which are more realistic.


ANDERS LEE, LW, 28
Good for 25 and 25 most likely.
2018-19 cap hit: $3,750,000.

MICHEAL FERLAND, LW, 27
Less scoring and more grit. 20 goal scorer, even on Vancouver.

I'm sure you can surmise the deal JB throws at him.

I have no idea what they're worth tbh.
But i think Lee would look good on the left wing with Petey and Brock.
Ferland would be a JV replacement, if you could package him up (not that i want him moved, but you've got to give to get)

I am not a fan of the plan B route. I think Ferland is going to turn out to be James Neale 2.0

As much as people think we don't have trade chips we do. Trading for a controlled contract for 2-3 years is much better than a 6 year deal north of 5 mil.

Guys like Woo Madden and others will start showing signs of NHL ready in 2-3 years.

Friedman said today there is no chance Panarin signs in Van today. Knock it off
- CanuckDon

Well, if Friedman said that then I guess you're right although I wouldn't say there is no chance as Friedman is a mere mortal and not a God. If JB offered him 14m on July first I bet he'd sign!

If Friedman said to jump off a bridge, would you?
Is it not fun to dream? For me it is, I guess that explains why you're such a miserable millennial doesn't it ?

I understand the thought process but I think after 3 years you would hate the contract.
- VANTEL

I'd give it 5 before he turned 32 and slowed down.

Gross, you're looking at 2 contracts that Benning would throw 7x6m with NTC at. They wouldn't score 20 and 20 here.
(frank) paying for b ranked ufas, go big or do nothing.
I don't hunt too shoot a medium sized deer, I want to fill my freezer with a big assed deer.

Anyone see the clip of Gudbranson and Wilson last night?

Looks like Guddy knows how to stand up for 1 of the Petterssons

fair enough.

I don't think we're a destination for Tier 1 UFA's to sign at the moment, so that's not an option IMO.

The plan B or Tier 2 route works for me.

Adding 1-2 UFA's a year that can potentially add depth, whilst holding onto to our assets makes sense to me.

The team have shown they're not obligated to play the signings either (eg Schaller).
If a kid can shine, they'll make the squad and force mgmt to move the dead weight.
Heck, even MDZ and Nilsson were moved for something at the end when the kids forced em out.

win-win.

pffft.
Anders Lee would score more like 30 and 30 playing with Brock and Petersson.

lol true.

It appears Guddy didn't really want to be here or embrace his 'role'.

Shades of Bieksa his last few seasons here

Plan B is more Beagles and Rousell types players.
Todd Shannon was talking about how the Canucks ste happy with those moves and are looking to sign those more of those types of ufas in the off season.

No thanks

meh.

I got nothing against either of those 2.
Beagle has done his job and Rousell has excelled imo.
