Quite the mixed bag. Good bad and fair deals. Myers at 2x2.6 is a great deal I think. Petey at 7x 10.8 is fair. Lindholm at 7x8 is scary. Z at 4x5.1 is ridiculous.

Hronek is a tough call at that estimate. You love having that top pair... but wow...

A couple of "deals" from the spreadsheet have already gone through (Tippett, Richardinson) and they aren't too bad with an error rate less than 5% except for the Nick Foligno deal being a 4 year deal at 4.25 for an absolute garbage player that would never get that deal anywhere else except for that poop show.

Here's the link if you want to see. I suggest the mid guys sign early honestly because they are the guys that seem to lose out in the summer time after stars are signed and the money dries up.

No team is offering Mik for an cheaper less term contract unless there is something added by Canucks. No one.

There either has to be a equally unpopular contract coming back or assets added.

So until you give me a trade offer with names he stays on your salary cap.

You have them accepting your trade proposal. Why? Because you said?

I'll leave it up to management to make a deal. I don't buy that Risto is the only trade in the league available for Miky and a 2nd or what ever package they decide to put together. If you think that package can land them a RD, then it would certainly land something else and free up cap space in the summer. Don't be so arrogant.

I was agreeing with you. I am fine.

Do I next go from struggling again today to being a liar in my next post?

I had seen you said it was a bargain and I said yeah why would he?

- VANTEL


Where you go from here is up to you but historically, the weeks and days leading up to the TDL have been difficult for you. You throw so much at the wall hoping for stuff to stick and will defend all of it to the death. Regardless if one idea contradicts the other.

At least I am not a liar today.

So Tor and Cal are reportedly in the mix also to get Risto but Canucks (seeing we are nice guys) will win the bidding war by giving them an overpaid fourth liners with term.

I am sure Tor or Cgy have nothing better to offer than a Mik straight up type of deal.

Maybe Tor can offer a Reaves straight up for Risto.

Risto can suck a Richard.

I certainly don't trade Mik for him looking towards next season.

We have enough Big D that aren't the greatest defenders.

If he's available now he's certainly there in the offseason. The extra salary and extra year are a big deal, even if the numbers fit this season.

Only here can a player be talked about after the Canucks #1 rumour source has shut it down completely.

Player plays 50% of his time with a top 6 center and once is listed on the 4th line and he's automatically a 4th liner.

Between OEL's buyout and Risto's salary we could replace OEL for only 20% more than OEL

Just a little off the subject here but I wonder how long it is going to take the fans to turn on PA after he has to sign new contracts for half the team next year.
