I agree.

Demko needs to be a number one. Markstrom long term means means he is out at some point. I would also bet if he did sign for long term it would be contingent on him being locked up to avoid being picked up by Seattle. Which would f@&k us big time.

July 1 (Oct. 9/20) is a day that teams spend foolishly and years later try to get out of what they’ve done, it’s generally not a good day for long-term success.

Holy (frank) that Josh Anderson contract

Happy Friday and free agent frenzy day everyone

But at least we didnt get assests for tanev or marky!!! That loui erickson deal just crushed us again. Youd think 4 mill owed over 2 year for 12 mill cap hit would be attractive to some teams

gudbranson getting move ahead of loui makes no sense to me

LeBrun...

No last-minute deal with Florida, Mike Hoffman and his UFA-leading 29 goals this past season heads to the UFA market today. Door isn't closed on the Panthers, but he will hear pitches from teams.

Depth d-man > depth forward... plus he's younger and only has 1 year left. two year commitment to LE is just killer.

That’s where I think Markstrom goes to.

Hope Krug signs early with Boston today. If he does that 100% closes the door on OEL to Boston and puts the Canucks in a really strong position to get a favorable deal done..... that's assuming Coyote ownership is really motivated to move cash out.

That’s where I think Markstrom goes to.

Yeah they could offer bigger dollars and less term as well. Make sure they have space for Mackinnon and Makar and theyre set

Fortunately, he doesn't have any money to spend.

LeBrun...

Spoke with Joe Thornton this morning over the phone from Switzerland. He said while he does absolutely plan to return to play next season, he's in no hurry to make his decision. Also he may play some Swiss League hockey for a bit as well.

Why is he in Switzerland? Is his wife from Europe?

What is marky gonna get 5 years 6 per? I bet flames offer that right away

Gotta wonder what the Canucks are offering... i'm assuming mid 5's..... is marky really going to walk away for that small difference?

Might not be AAV...could be protection or salary vs bonus. Especially over the next year or two, the bonus $ are protected against shortened seasons while salary is not...

Vancouver 5.5 x 5 = 27.5m
Calgary 6 x 6 = 36m.

Fcuk yes i'd walk away from Vancouver for that
