Another regulation loss for the Habs. With no more banner downers the boys can take the Hab loss good vibes and slay the Sens.

The quicker our GM finds learns and finds out you can replace Roussell for a some guy desperate for a Guaranteed $700K contract in North America the better.

I missed the most of the 3rd.

I missed the entire game but watched the goal highlights for the comets on their twitter.

The highlights even look like a piss game. Anas last goal was pretty damn ugly.

You know we nearly doubled his salary for his final years in the league right? I mean we were a bottom 5 team when we offered him the contract so winning the cup wasn't really in the works anyways.

That's a great time to groom a young player as your 4C moving forward.

While I partially agree you may be able to get away with a cheaper 4LC a lot of the primary scoring in PO's is done by 3LC's so will need to spend a bit there. Motte may end up be groomed as our 4LC and that's fine but he won't be doing it for 975K per lol

It's a tough balance the bottom 6. I just don't want to end up like the Leafs where they have 80% of their cap tied up in 10 players then scrimp from there. It costs them in the PO's every year but I guess they are a great reg. season team lol

Good point but we were shy on C’s at the time. Hope is on the current prospects who do not seem ready.

You literally just described every team in the league, including your precious coilers who are about to lose Nuge because of it.

Name more than one “3rd line C” who lead their team in scoring through a long playoff run...

Edit - the Canucks also already have 80% of their cap tied up in 10 players, just the wrong ones

Here is what you do. Find the best 3rd line centre who is being underpaid thanks to a long term contract and pay an absurd price for him like a late 1st round pick and a prospect.

Or

just draft one.

I just meant pretty much every team has 80% of their cap tied up in 10 players, including the coilers.

As someone who just lost someone very close to covid, i will be flagging any post like this. This is a hockey forum and there is a different board for inbreds who don't believe in science.

Oh yeah for sure. I was actually commenting on the post you quoted. I hadn’t read it and then when you commented I was agreeing.

Also, I just flagged you by accident

lol the point was having ten players tying up most of your cap then the bottom ten making one mil per isn't a recipe for success in the PO as it has shown with the Leafs. Oilers are about to find out lol. It requires balance up and down the lineup. We ain't winning no cup with our bottom 6 making a total of 6 mil.

lol there you go mixing words. It's not about 'leading the team' in scoring but history shows over the past 4-5 cup winners the 3LC is a huge contributor. You just need to accept the fact that's it's not gonna happen at 1 mil per

Nobody has suggested everyone on the bottom 6 make $1M or less, other than you who has decided that people want that because they don't agree with a $25M bottom 6.

The problem in Vancouver is we're paying the bottom 6 top dollar for below average production. If you can't see that then that's on you.

The only forwards in the Leaf’s roster making <$1.0m are Robertson (on an ELC), Spezza (10g, 23p, 45 games) and Thornton (3g, 13p, 35 games).

Spezza would be 5th in team scoring on the well balanced Canuck roster

When is the last time a 3rd line C was responsible for “a lot” of the primary scoring on a cup winning team?

Gaunce was a 4th line LW. If you are paying your 4th line LW more than a mil he better be Mike Sillinger.

Spezza and Thornton both over 55% in the dot as well and on short term deals. However, lets defend giving Beagle 3 times as much money for 4 years.
