NHL pays 600K to Sweden and Finland per player I believe.

A couple years back, I posted an article about the discrepancies on how much they pay to certain hockey leagues around the world.
The US hockey gets paid huge dollars from the nhl for player development, Sweden gets paid pretty big money as well, while any league in Canada gets paid peanuts in comparison.

Smart move, this team needs to tank better.

Dhaliwal saying Canucks have interest in going after Gavrikov and Barbashev, in the off-season.

Products are just very different.

Dries has 9 goals in 43 games with the Canucks, so about 18 goals over the course of a season, and is a hair under 50% in the dot this year (49.5%). Not as terrible as people think. Since he's cheap, and the Canucks have no real cap room as it stands, I can see him being on the roster next year. Maybe not 3C, but pushing that.

And get a pick next year when his cheap deal expires😉

I'd call fabricated on that at this juncture in time

Can see it. Team Russia landing spot. It will bring down the cost of the signing. Next up Tryamkin.

TBF, the CHL gets money from the government and HC and really doesn't need money from the NHL for player development. Not to mention the CHL has more teams than any other league not named the NHL.

CHL product is just different from those others. Euro leagues aren't going to notice a young player here or there from their leagues. On ice quality won't change much.

USHL, I'd say probably half go to college after 18.

CHL if you took the best player or two off every team to play somewhere else every year, league would get pretty watered down. The on ice quality would suffer.

Another good one. Kravs Barbs and Pods third line is more appealing to me. I think he would be a good fit for the two young Russians.

That's the one I like.

Probably gonna be another overpaid 3l winger.

Like him but he would have to come in cheap.

I don't see any UFA wanting to sign cheap in Vancouver. I can see coming in at market value.

That's not the Canucks way. Overpay or nothing. If we have cap space it will all be spent on a character guy, a real role playing bottom liner who had recent success. We will give him all we have with a ntc. This is the way.

Was looking at comparables and such for his next contract. Came across Detroit signing Andrew Copp.

Copp 5 year deal at 5.625. 33 points in 63 games this season.

A half a PPG winger is gonna cost you around 5M a season now a days

Just a much smarter idea to grow your own players

Whatever older 4C wins the cup will be the Canucks new target. Foundational guy.

That's pretty much Garland. Boeser sitting at 0.76 PPG

It would be a smart idea but if the owner is yelling fix it now, then it limits your options.

After last week's trades, I am sort of hoping for a strong finish. I think Myers played his best game and if they can get him to play using his size to finish the season then you can trade him as a positive asset instead of maybe having to add in a trade.

Same goes for Boeser. It would be nice if he has a strong finish and you can move him without retaining salary.

You mentioned the other day about how the D is now exiting the zone and playing much better now that Schenn Stillman and OEL are gone. This is big for me. I like looking at Briesbois and other cheaper players that slide in and do an effective job.

I understand that we as taxpayers subsidize HC etc, my point is, just because of that why shouldn't the nhl be treating Canadian leagues the same as other top producing leagues?

I was looking at Dom L's player cards to see what his market was for Hronek this morning.

I have to say I don't know why I even bothered.

Boeser thanks to being bad defensively is only worth 2.3M according to his sheet but many GM's say they would have taken him at 5.5.
