The telling sign of a truly putrid team like the Canucks is that they have absolutely no concerns going into the Seattle Expansion draft. They will have 3 or max 4 players that are worth protecting.

poop..

Now I’m thinking about who the Leafs’ll lose...

Vancouver :

Loui Eriksson $6M Giant Piece of Sh!t (POS)
Brandon Sutter $5.25 M POS
Tanner Pearson $3.75 M POS
Jay Beagle $3.0 M POS
Sven Baertchi $3.366M POS
Antoine Roussel $3.0 M POS
Alexander Edler $6.0 M POS
Chris Tanev $4.45 M POS
Spooner $1.033 M Does not exist
Luongo $3.033 M Does not Exist

Thats $38.882 M for Piece of Sh!t + Does not exist

Nucks have $4.1 Million to sign Boeser - good luck with that!
And they have lousy goalies
And they traded away a lottery pick for a 3rd line plug that wastes another $5.25 Million

Enjoy! Have a nice day!

They also won their cups with utterly stacked defences.
- aminnes

Lidstrom dominating for over 30 minutes at both ends of the ice was a big part of it. I recall guys like Dandenault, Murphy, Duchesne, Olausson, Ward, Rouse, Macoun, Fetisov, Stuart, etc being a part of those Cup teams. But as long as #5 was there they were fine on defense. Even after they lost Konstantinov in '97. Chelios kind of filled the void but not entirely.

I think we will be fine.

We are top heavy - which helps in an expansion draft.

Red Wings will retain Abdelkader at 50%. You can have him for free. I'll even throw in a new blow up doll for Roeper named "Cappy."

He has a NTC - do you think he would accept a trade to Oilers? Holland obviously likes him.

The nucka suck. But i believe once they reduce their roster and put a player or two on longterm injury, they wilm have close to 8m available

Agree, but Leafs will also have to show some discipline and not whine to the refs when a call is missed - and that includes Babcock. No sour faces, nose to the grindstone and play.
- winsix

Asking Babs to stop making sour faces would be like asking Roeper to stop talking about how great the Leafs roster is and how bad the Canucks and Isles roster is.

Babs isn't making sour faces, that's his face. It's like asking Nylander to stop making sexy faces.

Holland definitely loves Abdelkader. He gave him that awful 7 year contract extension. He has 4 more years left and he's 32. He hasn't thrown a body check since 2013. I think he'd go to Edmonton. That quick ice might make him look even slower than he is. He can thank Pavel Datsyuk for that awful contract.

He scored 19 goals riding shotgun for Datsyuk and Zetterberg. Shane Doan once told Abdelkader that he should be ashamed of himself for only scoring 8 goals playing with those guys.

None of those players are legitimately injured, however even getting Boeser back into the lineup will probably put Tampa into the Lafreniere sweepstakes. Scary actually what a bad deal Benning made and that he is still employed.

That's what I mean. That baby in the movie "The curious case of Benjamin Button" was Babs. He always looked old with a scowl.

Yep. Nick Lidstrom was the straw who stirred the drink for the Red Wings.

Lightning a third-round pick on Saturday plus a conditional first-round pick in one of the next two years. If the Canucks miss the playoffs in 2020, during their 50th anniversary in the NHL, the first-rounder is moved to 2021.

Yes - for JT Miller at $5.25 Million - solved their cap crunch and gave them a 1st and a 3rd. The first is for 2021 if the Nucks miss the playoffs though.

They're desperate to hit final Wildcard spot...and they might just do it. The Pacific Division got poop real fast after being a nightmare.
