Why? You aren't big on players that know how to win in pressure/big game situations?

Beagle is awful. $4million awful.

lol people get too caught up in the contracts. Ovi said publicly they wouldn't have won that cup without players like the Beags.

Kind of an important part of building a winning team. The Beagle contract was ridiculous no matter how it's spun.

Stecher will be back...Fanty probably not.

Mark and TT are the priority agreed. A home run is not something we need right now.

Build around Hughes and once Tanev/Edler have moved on we're set.

If the Canucks don’t start finding replacements for Tanev/Edler now then our D-core will be a poop show again once they leave. Say what you will but those two eat up a huge amount of minutes when healthy.

Again were fine without the Sedins we'll be fine without Edler/Tanev. Just IMO watching them play 40-50 'healthy' games per season will be an upcoming issue the longer we keep them. I get it...they eat minutes and that's all good. But at this point we can start to look at moving on to take that next step.

If you wanna pack your 3-4 lines with nothing but 800K players then good on ya I guess. Circling the drain bro...

Maybe somewhere in between 800k - 3-4 million.

JBs going to have to either trade for replacements or sign UFAs. I’m not that confident he’ll do that successfully. Well, not immediately anyway. It’s going to take time to rebuild the D once those two are gone.

Hughes will bring the offence but he can’t do it all.

That is pretty well the whole year so no name surprises except Flyers.

I think it is going to be a Flyers / Vegas final

Vegas wins.

That's true lol but people will need to be patient building around Hughes. I get the Edler - Tanev are here for a bit and that's fine. We do need a bit of mentorship but also need to avoid more Hamhuis situations where we get no assets for them if they are moving on someday. Tanev when healthy can fetch a good asset back IMO. Edler is what it is. I'm willing to wager that one of them is injured before the end of the Minny series...

No sir.

If AV couldn't do it with that dominant 2011 Canucks roster can't see how it can happen with this Philly club. They might win a round or two though.

100%

It’s easy to win without your top two defensemen (ignoring Hughes for the moment) but you can’t win without your 14th best forward.

Don’t you know that overpriced 4th lines win cups?
