You had too many slurp burgers....

Lots of talk of Tkachuck on his way out as well...

The division is up for grabs this season.

Oilers to lose but a big fight for 2nd & 3rd to come. Gonna be fun

Sure, he'll take a discount because he loves playing in Canada so much.
- Marwood

Vegas is trending backwards. CGY will take a bit of a step back losing JH's 100+ points unless it's replaced real quick. EDM will be better with Campbell in net. Hell they made the conference finals with SMITH lol. LA will move back a bit.

Big opportunity for the Canucks to move up the standings this year and compete with EDM I'm sure Allvin and JR see it.
- LordHumungous

I agree. I thought LA overachieved last year.

Top 9 is 208 goals & idk about Hog.
4th line & D could get it too 270.
Outta line? Not imo lol

If the team scores another 25-40 goals they should be in playoffs, provided they aren't playing run and gun and losing 8-6 hockey games.
- Reubenkincade

The Canucks were 18th in goals for and 25th in goals against. That's why we brought in a guy like Mickey. It's as much about preventing as it is scoring. Our goalie is the only player we had last year that was really good at preventing.

Surprised me but they cannot be taken lightly. They are on the rise.

VGK doesn’t scare me. Sure they added Jack but they just are not what they once were.

Miky Miller Boeser
Pod Petey Garland
Hog Bo Kuzmenko
Dlcky Lazar Lockwood

Idk what to do with Pearson atm.
Hog could improve or the doghouse. Those lines are fluid & I will most likely change them closer to the season starting.
- Nighthawk

Miller EP Boeser
Miky Bo podz
Hogs Richardy kuz
Lockwood lazar joshua
Garland

I think Garland or Miller wil be moved.

Hard not to see more goals scored but yes less scored on us is the goal. Should be priority #1.

does this go for the economics too?


I like talking about how stupid the Bank of Canada and US Fed are no matter which parties are running either country

Both he and Lazar are big time forecheckers

Top 9 too imbalanced for my liking.
Dlcky has to earn 3C.
Garland more likely to be moved if any preseason trades happen. Unless a team suddenly is hot for Miller.

We don't need Bo and Miller. There are many ways to skin a cat.

If Miller hits UFA then he's gone unless we overpay, it's that simple. If we sign Miller to a deal that works for the team then we won't be able to keep Horvat without sacrificing our depth.

8 years for Miller is bad, so his AAV has to rise on a shorter deal.
- golfingsince

Itll will be 8 years for Bo at around 7.5, i look forward to the tears but am stoked to see him lead us into this next generation of playoff contention

And they got better this off season.

I guess. Everybody seems to writes hoglander off, i expect a bounce back after a softmore slump. Hopefully a tough season lit a fire under his ass. Bottom line is pure energy.

7/7m tops imo
6/6.75 preferred

Never wrote him off but he was in BB’s doghouse. It’s good for him. Character is tested in the face of adversity. All up to him now

In ready for your and everyone elses tears. Hes well worth it.

I harp on Bo because he lacks toughness and grit I want to see from our captain. Other than that he's great. Good in PO's the whole package pretty much. Streaky but that's life. You are saying we can't keep both Bo and Miller? No way. So much salary we can move out first Pearson, Garland, Myers, Hogs maybe and a few others. If this club wants to win...we'll need both. Certain Dynamic both players bring. But you are correct other contracts will need to be moved out it can be done.

I like our moves. Mikheyev and lazar are excellent adds. Kuz as well. We have players on the verge of breakout years. It's going to be a damn exciting season IMO not all this doom/gloom for not moving Miller.

Enjoy it. Gonna be fun.

That's not a bad guess. Or he's traded for a poopload. Linden 2.0

Garland gets under ops skin 👍
Lockwood plays hard in your face 👍
Hog adds pesky to his game 👍

3 speedy smaller feisty pests goes a long ways. Hustle & no quit 👊

I don’t engage in post contract discussion much if at all. Resignings by JB were good as is how the new regime has begun.

Its always possible, anything is, but i suspect he signs and wants to sign. We will see, but everything i see suggests that.

IF…

Miky, Kuz, Dlcky, Lazar & Lockwood all bring good D we are much more difficult to score against. All of them can also contribute in either scoring or PK.
