Brooks is usually a pro Canucks guy. I don't think his comments are far off. We cleared cap and got rid of a bad contract to create cap room to sign mediocre contracts to be a bubble team again and max out the cap.

I am pretty unopinionated about today, but I definitely don't think they hit a home run. I think we only moved the needle slightly IMO but we did not commit long term which is fine.

Brooks doesn’t know what he is talking about or he is stirring the pot. Regardless, the whining is annoying

I am fine with 9 to 10 max not over.

That’s fine. Unfortunately not realistic however

They have one in Elias Pettersson, the 23/24 year old kid who just scored 102 points.

People seem to forget that, maybe they need a change, you know something new and shiney to watch.

Probably not realistic and in three years we all be on here complaining about his contract and looking up his buyout.

Canucks don't think like that.

This is a team that sits third worse record in January and then makes a coaching change for the playoff push.

Sam Steele will be out of the league soon enough when it’s revealed that he was one of the 8 in the London thing. Him, Batherson and Hart will lose their careers. I’d stay away from all 8 of them personally.

Wait till we all hear what the elites do in their spare time, worse than you can ever imagine.

Canes GM Don Waddell on signing Orlov: “We felt that Dmitry was the best available defenseman on the free agent market. He is a versatile player with a lot of offensive upside, and this signing only strengthens our defensive group heading into next season.”
Does Carolina know that defence isn't there issue it's scoring?

Which it did

Coming back with the same PK and expecting different results

Expecting/anticipating players to improve with age and opportunity- wow what an insane concept!!

You’re right, the only way to improve is solely through Free Agency

Stirring the pot for sure

But also accurately describing what just happened - we bought out OEL and immediately returned to being capped out (which is the root of all of our terrible decisions) by potentially getting marginally better. I guess I don’t what I’m talking about tho.

Cap savings from OEL roughly $7.2MM
BLUEGER Soucy Cole: $8.15MM

I think that’s a tidy bit of business. We are a better team today. Hell, even Nucker is pumped for the first time in 5 years
