I was never a drummer, but was a big Animal fan.

My pops played in the ‘70 and ‘80. An R&B band in Toronto called Fire and Ice and I remember going to watch him play in Victoria at Pagliacci’s on jazz night.

Travis Green: Sutter is quietly have a very strong season for himself. He’s skating better. He’s skating with more speed. #Canucks  @Sportsnet650

God let's hope so. Saw on the Province they connected him to Edmonton as they PK sucks and Turris hasn't been that great. Edmonton only has a 1st and a 4th this year though... maybe a 2022 3rd?

I see on a lot of sites speculating about potential Eichel trades. They are asking for a lot and I think they are in for a big disappointment.

I would offer Beagle Loui and a second .

I do think Calgary or Montreal will be in on it and fall deeper down the rabbit hole

Calgary might test the water but doubt MTL goes all in after adding 7 players and spending all that money in the off-season.

Myers - LE - JV - 2nd should get Eichel here

lol

I would be much more inclined to help Edmonton gear up for the playoffs as opposed to Toronto or Calgary (we've helped them enough).

To Edmonton: Sutter, Edler (salary retained), JV (salary retained), Pearson (salary retained)

To Canucks: 1st

Not sure where to start. First of all can’t retain salary on 3 players. Second of all, Edler will NEVER waive

I’m pretty sure you can only be retaining salary on two players at a time. Does Luongo still count?

I would trade for Eichel. He's a good player, just not a 10 mil star.

LE, JV, Gaudette, 2nd this year, 1st next year for Eichel 2.5 mil retained

From the Athletic on TDL players:

8. Brandon Sutter, Canucks: Vancouver has far too much money committed to its bottom-six forwards. Sutter is quietly having an effective season. Injury issues have held him back in the past, but he’s been healthy this year and even if his salary-cap number is higher than you’d like ($4.375 million), he’s on an expiring contract and can immediately solidify the bottom half of any contending team’s roster. “He’s a hard-working third-line guy; he’s slowing down,” said one Western Conference exec. “Does he have value at the trade deadline? Sure he’s got value. He’s got a big contract. You wouldn’t want to take on much money to add him.”

17. Jake Virtanen, Canucks: Virtanen was described as a not-as-good Sam Bennett, which isn’t great. The extra year on his contract hurts the cause here, too. “I wouldn’t want to pay a whole lot for him,” said a Western Conference executive. “He’s $3.4 million in actual salary (in 2021-22). Who is going to want to pay that?”

18. Tanner Pearson, Canucks: The Canucks will likely see if they can get Pearson signed beyond this season rather than see him walk away for free. Failing that, at 28, and earning $3.75 million on an expiring contract, Pearson can play a middle-third role on any team looking for scoring. “He’d have some value. He’s a good solid winger,” said an exec. “Not flashy but he can produce. He can play with good players.”


Interesting on this:

28. Jake Bean, Hurricanes: There are a couple of approaches teams can take when it comes to the expansion draft. If you’re loaded on defense, like the Hurricanes are, you can just accept you’re losing one and let the depth cushion the blow. Or you can make a trade to try and get value in a player you risk losing for nothing. Bean has been really good this season for the Hurricanes and was even better in the AHL. They’re not shopping him, according to sources. They’d probably rather trade Haydn Fleury. But Bean is likely going to be exposed to Seattle assuming Carolina protects Dougie Hamilton, Jaccob Slavin and Brett Pesce, so it’s perfectly reasonable to suggest that the Hurricanes would listen to an offer that makes sense. The Hurricanes definitely have players on defense they’re willing to move if somebody makes the right offer.

Looking forward to having anyone of these 5 kids in the organization, next season.

That is exactly the problem he is good but no one is taking on a 10 mil contract for five more years.

You have to wonder if Ralphy is actually an NHL coach?
