aqualini thinking hes found an easy way to make big money... win second tier hockey league

Point 8x9.5
EP should come in below that on a long term.

Great comparable 2 Cups top C. Petey prove yourself on first contract: 8Mx8 or bridge low 6Mx2.

youd hope so. saw on twitter that (without getting creative) marner who makes 1.5m more than point will take home after taxes 300k less because of where they signed

Markstrom = .798 sv % with that lineup

No Clark, no spark.

Looks like the Canucks might be the team to lose someone on waivers this year, rather than pick someone up

The bar is set pretty low.

I think they may be so far, other than the Kraken

Coleman and Ceci are steep overpayments by rivals imo too

Yup so was Hyman. Rival teams throwing money in the wrong places when they have big D holes.

While Canucks not only improved Forwards but added tough to play against D OEL, Poolman and Hamonic.

This summer has gone better than expected

While it’s great for the Canucks, I wonder how is it that Halak who’s a better goalie gets a 1.5 million deal, yet Martin Jones fresh off a buyout gets 2 million?

Also the Canucks care about their AHL team now cause it’s close to home, while nothing negative can be said about Utica, it’s still a Loooooooooonnnnnngggggg way from Vancouver.

As was said earlier, Aqualini needs the revenue from his AHL team in case the big club keeps poopting the bed

Yeah cause your username just screams wisdom and knowledge.

Why not ask the families of all the athletes who had cte how they feel about that?
But yeah gotta bash brains in for your enjoyment.

You might quibble with some of the #Canucks' individual moves today, but man, did Jim Benning and his hockey operations group accomplish a ton:

18 contracts in 48 hours: 3 extensions (Bailey, SUtter, Hamonic), 1 ELC (Klimovich) and 13 signed SPCs for new players, plus Garland.

Hamonic was UFA. Why I included him was that I agree with Carol. He was injured for a good part of season and we saw him get in game shape at end. He scored and fought then. A full season of that makes a difference.

Yes to Shenn when needed.

Halak was a bargain and good for 20-30 games.

Also wanted to shine a light on a couple of other guys who have generated some conversation today:

Brian Boyle
Derek Stepan
Justin Abdelkader
Jordan Oesterle
Marcus Sorenson
Nikita Gusev
