Thinking about it it's kind of like the Willie Mitchell situation? Sign Tanev to a long term deal and risk all his injuries or have hime move on to another team and win cups? lol

This was Tanev's first healthy season in 4 years. I say move on...

Maybe because it’s the first season in (forever) he’s been paired with a partner who isn’t an absolute shambles magnet. Playing with Hughes will make Tanev a 20 point, 25 min per night top pairing guy for $5m ish.

I think Markstrom and TT are doable.

As I said I don't want to wait for contracts to expire. Next year should be an aggressive year for Benning . Build a top 10 team for the 20-21 season and compete for the cup the following year.

Will be tough to do when you don't know how things will unfold. Good news is JB's keeping in touch with Brisson on TT.

You just don’t want to pony up the $20.

At least it will keep people in doors.

Saw a (global) news clip about US tourists in Banff “on their way to Alaska”.

I think Canucks are in a good position despite all the screaming about the Cap. I think I read they will have the 8 th most space meaning the rest of the league will be in a lot more hurt than Canucks.

You want to get rid of Luongo recapture give Ottawa a second round pick. You want to get rid of Baertschi give up Lind. WTF cares what people think . People are going to scream no matter what you do.

Canucks can easily bring back close to the same team and meet the cap but is that what you really want?

If you want Tanev back at 5 mil , why not give Ottawa a second round pick and remove Luongo's recapture and go after Pietangelo at 8 mil?

Seen water up to the windsheilds.

I think Abbottsford got hail or snow yesterday.

We are getting everything this year. If I see a flood of locust and a guy building an Ark I am out of here.

Canucks are a team that beat TB Vegas Colorado and kicked Bostons ass but they also lost two games against Jersey. It depends what team shows up?

Even better so he would be playing next year for 300 K . Maybe that is incentive to retire.
- VANTEL


14% escrow was average before covid. Most think best case scenario is 28-35% for next year if they don't make an adjustment.

That means he actually would have to pay back 400- 750k throughout the year

Still need Don to confirm the math for me though.

Don hasn't posted since his portfolio collapsed and he was evicted from his Yaletown penthouse.
Check Walmart, I think he works Sundays.

That would be beautiful . I really wonder if he will come back. In two weeks he gets his bonus and then why bother?

Minny is a good team. If Canucks are healthy they have the toughness for playoffs and definitely have the skill. I think with the three month layoff advantage goes to the younger faster teams.

Canucks should benefit from the less travel
