if we bring in a pres i just hope he doesnt try to do too much - just make sure jb doesnt do anything stupid (which tbf he has been trending way better for the last year or 2), leave him to the day to day hockey stuff while they take a look at the support structure

as vantel said a bolstering of the analytics/financial/legal capabilities would be beneficial

I’m significantly more educated than Bieksa and the Canucks shouldn’t hire me. Or should they? I also have a finance degree. Hire me Aquilini. I’m real smart and I have 5 canucks jerseys
- CanuckDon

go for it

Which of the non-core players do you think could fetch a 1st...realistically.
- Reubenkincade

I’m looking at the 1st trade JB makes to be the domino. Your guess is as good as mine but something has to give. Core players could be moved. None of EP Hughes Boeser or Bo. The way we are built many options are there...

Sabres could use Sutter Tanev or Sven
Canes Sven or Sutter
Florida Sutter or Tanev
Coyotes Tanev maybe Sutter
Stars Sutter or Sven
Leafs Tanev
Other teams maybe out there also

As usual health on those 3 is tough dealing

Not sure. Heading to Portugal for a wedding first. Definitely will hit Barcelona. What do you recommend ?
- CanuckDon

Barcelona gets you very close to some amazing wine regions. Priorat to the Southwest. Rioja to the northwest. Some smaller areas with less cache (and prices) Navarra, Somontano, Montsant.

If you are driving from Portugal, north of Madrid there are a pair of wine regions for red/white - Toro and Rueda. Along the Duero River.

The wine regions in the center of the country are more pedestrian, low cost, bang for your buck type.

I’m sure you’ll have a blast. If you know what part of the country you will be in PM me and I can recommend some wineries to hit up.

LW’s being Pearson Leivo & Sven be nice if Sven was moved out. Motte on the 4th line i like him there. We then would need to add a top 3-6 LW & RW to go with a top 2-4 RHD.

I want either another 1st or Fox in a trade.
Dream signing is Panarin.
If no lotto luck pick a Yank if there.
I want 3-4 players traded out.
- Nighthawk

It seems panarin wants to play in van. So I think we will sign him if reasonable
I hope we can acquire an extra 1st

Maybe canucks should hire housley for D coach. He was a hof D man while Baumgartner was ahl
This would be an upgrade

Worth a try

When we signed Rafferty the other day and people were asking frantically what does anyone know about this guy , the only person to give a description of him in minutes was Ryan Biech

Biech watches hockey every day and studies it . Kman may go to what 4 games a year to see players?

I seen his style finally and was not impressed with a lot of things about his game. I have been watching hockey for over 50 years and I don't need to see them play 15 games to decide if their is parts of their games That I don't like. I don't know why this has to be an issue . If you like him, fine like him. I don't want to draft him with our first pick .

K I have season tickets for the Rockets and have had them for many years. I know it’s not the same butI come on hockeybuzz every day to read your posts just to gather information.

Not a wine region recommendation, but it you’re heading to northern Spain, please please go to San Sebastián. I’m really not a fan of Spain in general, but San Sebastián is one of my top five cities in Europe. Beautiful, small, super lovely beach town with the warmest atmosphere. Also, by capita, it has the most Michelin Star restaurants in the world, so it’s definitely a foody city. Anthony Bourdain has an apisode on it if you want to check it out!

Panarin isnt getting 6 mill lol. He is going to get paid, again, which is why I hate the thought of signing him. Hard to make fun of the leafs current cap problem when we eventually will have to sign petey and Hughes in 2 and 3 years respectively

Housley wasn't in the HOF because of his defensive abilities.... he was god awful in his own zone. But the man could kill ya on the pp !

At back to back 80+ point seasons he will looking for Draisaitl-like money...maybe more.

Would love to have him on the roster but the timing is not good.

Panarin is definitely going to the bank. He’ll get a 6-7 year 10ish mil contract. He’s a star.

I don’t think the timing is right for the Canucks. If this was 2-3 years down the road, and they were on an upswing in the playoff race, ya, that’d be great.

Gretzky not being able to coach should go to show you that being a hof player means jack poop when it comes to coaching lol

Other teams aren’t needing often injured players you don’t want lol

Sven isn’t worth a 7th rounder with his injury history
Sutter is a good role or depth guy but you can find those in free agency
Tanev has some value but it’s no where near what you’d like it to be with his constant injuries

I would sign Schenn to a one year deal and let him and Tanev fill out the year playing with HUGHES. Move Tanev for whatever at TDL

Sutter can play 4 th line with Beagle and Roussel. When Sutter is injured replace his time off with Granlund

Buy out Baertschi 1.5 1.8 850K 850k

Send Loui to Utica

Wayne had no experience whatsoever at any level and went straight to nhl head coach. How was this supposed to end?
Also Wayne only took the job to get back $ that was his investment in the team.

Housley has even head coaching experience. He's certainly qualified to be a D coach

At back to back 80+ point seasons he will looking for Draisaitl-like money...maybe more.

- LordHumungous

he will be making 9-10 mill at the very least. i hope we stay away, and i hope he stats away.

I have a feeling he will join his old coach and go to Florida with Bob anyway.

Panarin is definitely going to the bank. He’ll get a 6-7 year 10ish mil contract. He’s a star.

- NewYorkNuck

the timing isn't right at all. If we didn't have Loui's 6 mill contract on the hook for the next X amount of years, I think we could maybe be more flexible with high end UFA's, but like TOR is dealing with right now, we don't want to be in the same exact situation when Petey and Hughes need new contracts. It makes me sad that there is no such thing as bridge contracts anymore.
