You need a man-bun to pound rockaberry coolers.

An acid washed denim jacket and a red bandana would help too.

typical biased hysterical media trying to force a narrative on the poor unknowing masses.

Lots of 2022 and 2023 prospect talk as well - there’s a summer showcase going on now, and the Gretzky/Hlinka tourney starts soon. Mostly it’s a bunch of kids I’ve never heard of or really care about as the Canucks will be selecting so late in the 1st it doesn’t really matter.

...and volleyball shorts.

This will rub some the wrong way. I expect some hysterical over reaction about how analytics are bullpoop.

i heard of a guy who had 2 ribs removed to try that.

I look forward to NuckFU's poetry slam regarding this.

I think Petey comes in around 7.5 and QH around 6, but those are on bridge deals.

I would go long term on Petey at 9, but it'd be tough to do with the cap this year. Barzal is pretty much the exact comparable to EP, and he's at 7.

CF shows they have 14 mil right now (send a couple guys down to get to 16 or 17)... but they have to sign EP, QH, OJ, and Dickinson under that. Gonna be tight, but doable.

However, they aren't impervious to an offer sheet, especially if someone wants to throw 10-11 mil at Petey, that'd really (frank) things around (though highly improbable).

Petey will be 8.25 x 3
Hughes 3 x 6.25
But I like the idea of Hughes for Ty Smith off NJ.
Big marketing campaign for NJ with all 3 Hughes bros, and they have the cap space to make it happen with any new deal for Hughes. And it would give the Canucks another year of ELC deal on Smith contract, pushing out the cap crunch.
Does a straight across deal makes sense?

I’m reacting to the fact that Tyler Myers’ brother is Quentin Grimes.

- Retinalz

So what is big time add, guessing a pick or 2 then? We don't want salary back unless its a young player/prospect with upside and good contract.
Hughes for Ty Smith, Nolan Foote and a 2nd?

Speaking of which, whatever happened to Zogg, I think his name was?

Joe Fresh should stick to his clothing lineup at the Superstore!

I've read nothing but praise for our revamped D!

Howdy,

Hope you're heading into an awesome long weekend!

New blog is up, with a look ahead at arbitration, a minor update on the Hughes & Pettersson contracts, and a first look at some of the Canucks' many new depth signings.

Ya Zogg was cool...probably got sick of the daily narratives.

WAR is a useless, yes, useless stat and if you are relying on that crap, all I can say is, you are an idiot.
