7.5 million is a lot of cake to be paying a somewhat one-dimensional player.

He expanded his game this year

Maybe that's the Canucks problem.

I've never experienced heat like this, it still hasn't peaked. Right now it's 41 with no wind. No birds.

I was in Vegas in July 2005 for a trade show and it was 48/118.

It will probably end up 45/46 today. It's hazy out with poor air quality. Unreal.

I was in Valencia one summer a number of years ago, and it was around 46. We went to the beach thinking we could cool off in the water... that did not help. When I was standing in the water the wind coming off the water was hotter than the sun on the other side of my body Promptly took a cab back to the hostel and drank

Petey and QH's agent reported they'll be doing bridge deals because of Canucks' cap situation.

This seems like they have, the leaked $12M in total, deals done. They're probably waiting to file after free agency.

The Canucks can use the $22+M cap space to go after big targets. Then cap shuffle and LTIR activate to be compliant. Probably have 21 player roster with Abby now. They said in interview they'll be running players up and down.

I could see EP 3/6.5m Hughes 2/5.5m staggered for obvious reasons.

On a 21 roster it’s very possible if to accrue cap space or to be compliant assuming no buyouts or only JV. Holtby could also be one. He wouldn’t cost much to do at all.

This might be an offseason to be aggressive & cap smart looking to next year with another flat cap. Advise going slow & not rush anything. No big fish.

Yes he did, which is why I said sort of, a 1 dimensional player. I hope he continues with improving.
I am mostly concerned about his foot-speed, but Brock is a big part of the team and is also an important part, just 7.5 is a big chunk of change, moving forward and trying to get better.

Agree be nice if he got a bit quicker but keeps scoring & racks up points is fine.

He’s due the raise next year so even more important how JB juggles the cap now.

Some players could be signed on good deals as in Savard I hope & Hamonic.

With Nuge signing it will be interesting how Holland makes out with Adam Larsson, if he does at all.

Go sit in the lake.
I’m looking forward to that. Day 11
Covid cops called my wife’s cell phone today then asked for me to do an interview. They’re getting downright sneaky.
I’ve been sitting in my lawn chair with my hose on mister, spraying myself to try to stay cool.

Relief is coming gents, I just went to the post office and bank, it is blowing hard out there, someone told me 50 km winds are coming later this afternoon. I've already shut the windows in the house.

Edit: it's now 20 in Sooke

All those people floating drinking beer and I’ve never seen anyone on the banks peeing.

Yeah, but the humidity makes the “feels like” temperature 38


Still beats the mid-high 40’s of yesterday’s “feels like” temps
