In the West, I’d say about on par with the Hawks. Some dynamic, talented players surrounded by average role players and a few young guys still trying to prove they belong. Under the right circumstances, either team could surprise their opponent. You want lines? Same as it ever was. If Mr. Ferley is healthy, I guess he slots in on line 3 with Sutter and Eriksson.

Jesus. I’ll be happy when these players are gone.

Tanev's camp isn't wanting a one year deal lol. It will be Edler-esque...

You’re mixed up. Sven has 1yr left. There is no package with Tanev a UFA

No it wont

I will be surprised if Tanev is here next year. If he is it will be for a team friendly deal.

He was trolling that's why I didn't respond

I think there is no way Sven is on the team next year he will be moved hell or high water. .

I think Jake is playing his last games as a Canuck because he has arbitration rights and could easily be awarded more than 3.5 .

Here is something wild that could happen or something like it. Benning finds a team looking to move a big long contract. PK Subban comes to mind. Jake Loui and Sven

After July 1 Loui gets paid 1 mil only this year. Sven costs 3.4 and Jake is whatever his new team negotiates. Subban has 3 year left at 9 mil per. NJ save real money this year because of Loui's base salart. Sven comes off the books next year and Loui's salary is 4 mil . The following year Loui is off their books saving them 9 mil .

It also deals with the Tanev issue seing PK is your 2nd pair Dman.

Wild yes but look for Benning to make some sort of deal like that but my feelings are Jake and Sven are gone this year

If Toffoli signs Jake can become expendable. PK no thx.

Sutter is a fourth liner, Gaudette and Virtanen are the three line, and Ferland would compliment them well.

I think TT and Marky are the guys that they are concerned about

Jesus. I’ll be happy when these players are gone.

How was I trolling? The lineup will be essentially the same. The only player potentially back is Ferland as reports suggest Leivo is still rehabbing.

You think Green will favor Gaudette at C in the playoffs over Sutter? Or that he (Green) will sit Eriksson in favor or Macewen? Your top six is set, then you have Ferland, Sutter, Beagle, Motte, Eriksson, Gaudette, Virtanen in some combination in the bottom six.

What’s changed?

You think Green will go Gaudette in the playoffs at C over Sutter?

If Toffoli signs Pearson can become expendable. PK no thx.

Yes...unless he struggles, which he didn’t all season.

What’s the point of bringing in all these experienced playoff warriors if they don’t play meaningful roles?

I think Green will favor experience to start.

Sutter wasn’t brought in recently, he’s been here five years and played what, zero playoff games. He doesn’t exactly have a plethora of playoff experience.

He’s the reason this team hasn’t crumbled. I think Green goes with experience over talent, at least to start.

Yup

lol TT and Pearson will both be here.

Jake and Stecher are both players that can be overpaid by an arbitrator . I think they are the two that are in trouble.

lol TT and Pearson will both be here.
- LordHumungous

Unless they move someone, which has proven difficult for Jim Benning, I don’t see Toffoli being signed.

Crumbled? They’ve been terrible with him in the lineup....he’s part of the reason they’ve been so bad for five years.
