What's crazier is how this became a thing with zero indications coming from the Canuck side. Talk about absurd speculation. If BB ever gets moved its to improve the roster in another position of weakness.
- NuckUp

It went from absurd to fans tying into if it’s TT or BB scenario. Lol

If I wanted to play & concerns for family I leave them at home. Players already just had a 4 mth break.

If they have to walk away from Toffoli, they have a cap problem.

Or they couldn’t get what is necessary to be done to keep him. That’s not good.

That's your opinion and I respect it. I personally would opt out despite how bad I would want to play.

This team ain’t good enough without TT, BB, CT, and JM. We need as many difference makers as possible just to make the playoff let alone compete for a cup. The fact there’s almost $18m in wasted cap space on players who don’t play to their cap hit is frustrating.

Not all JB’s fault but he’s the boss and is responsible for managing this team so has to be the one to fix it.

Marky 4/5.25m
TT 4/5-5.25m
Tanev 3/4m

My best covid offers to keep all 3.

Gaudette 4/2m
JV 4/2.25m

Demote LE replace with Hoglander
Stecher rights traded
Jettison other bottom 6 F’s. At least 1.

I don’t. Him just being around will give him a better feel to keep pushing.

On Sven opting out it’s not as obvious as why with other players doing same. I think I don’t know he isn’t as driven as he claims to be an NHLer. If he’s legit then covid will keep him out of hockey for a long time yet. Signs seem to show it might be an issue into next year. His career isn’t exactly projecting up. His window wasn’t exactly open & this could be the end of his career.

That's probably closer to the truth. Getting Covid is no joke. It can lead to all sorts of organ damage and brain damage too. He's already dealt with brain issues so maybe there is concern there. The family stuff sounds like more of a noble cover. With quarantine and testing before and after return would be enough to shield your family. In the mean time the family has to live in the world doing their own precautions.

Karl Alzner has opted out. Not a surprise . A lot of black aces will refuse to play.
