Umm, first, if you read my post again you'll see I attempted humour, but failed miserably.

Secondly, are the Habs mining poop?

I got the humor and I ain't very smart, so what does that tell you about VHG?😁

OIL!



Playoff bound??

Shouldn't be hard to narrow down to a likely target. Who plays on the Hab's 3rd line?

I just noticed, are you posting from NY?

No. Bit of a joke, that a few might understand, including VHG.😁

As long a splaying 26+ mins a night every game doesn't destroy one of Drai or McDavid, they probably take 1st in the Pacific. Sucks for me cause I have a bet with 2 buddies with Beer on the line.

Would love to see them both miss like 4 games at the same time. Nothing serious, the flu or whatever. Just to see how terrible they would be without them.

My guess on the Corey Schneider waiving today is because he will be traded to Utica. Benning does not want to lose a goalie on waivers two years in a row. Once CS clears you will see a trade of CS for Loudini and Mikey DiPietro . Schneider will stay with the Comets and Loui will report to NJ.

I think the Habs will look to the Devils and also send Caulfield ( Hughes old line mate) and a second and a fourth for Taylor Hall.

That is my prediction.


Utica play the Devils Wednesday and Domingue already playing with NJD

Trade in the next 48 hours

Whenever I see group photos including management I always look for JB

You are a sick twisted individual.

Beagle ready to play tomorrow . Sutter will be back in a few day. Roussel now full contact probably ready in a week. A player needs to be moved.

They have Kassian.

No biggy.

A trade in the next 48 wouldn't shock me...but this is convoluted and doesn't appear to make much sense to me:

* Corey has a $6M cap hit until the end of the 20-21 season, plus a full NTC
* Corey is paid $18M in real $ ($6M each) for those 3 seasons, while LE is only paid an additional $5M (since the signing bonuses are paid)
* LE may play in the NHL again (somewhere), while CS appears to be "done"
* Mikey has upside and may play in the NHL (somewhere, sometime)

Why would the Canucks do this?? Why wouldn't you just take a chance on losing MD / a goalie on waivers, rather than pay an extra $13M for an AHL-level goalie?

Help me understand what you see the motivation to be??

Loui Eriksson has 9 mil owing after this year. Canucks will buy out Schneider paying him 8 mil total instead of 9 mil and also gain 4 mil in cap space for next year and the following year. The actual money spent from next year and on they save 1 mil. The only money they lose is this year .

Edit. Just checked no savings . Loui is owed 8 mil after next year . Buying out CS is 8 mil also. So they ony get the 4 mil cap space for 2 years.

you're right on LE and $ owing...I missed the salary in the last year of his contract.

Well...OK, let's see. It seems like a lot of wasted money to me, but clearing out LE's cap hit will require taking back something comparably ugly.

edit: what was the point of Brackett scouting the games, then? Seems there would have to be a player of interest to the Canucks, and that wouldn't be CS

It is wasted money for sure but ask yourself this , if Canucks could have bought out Eriksson would they have? I think they would have. They want the 4 mil cap space.

They can buy out Schneider and cut their losses.

He was the reason why I was still interested during 3rd periods in games last year when the Canucks were down by 2+ goals, I would just wait for him to stir poop up

I agree that if they could buyout LE they would have. They (obviously) want more value for the actual $ spend + $6M cap hit than they are currently getting.

This is a more complicated scenario than I would have expected from the Canucks, but I can see your logic...the actual $ over the next 2.5 seasons are a wash, plus they get the cap release on a buyout. Costs Mike D to get the $4M in cap relief

This seems to be predicated on CS waiving his NTC...not sure what the deal is there.

Well he could spend the next two and a half years in Binghamton or get payed 2/3 of his salary for doing nothing and becoming a free agent again.
