Just keep him away from Scandinavian golf courses and floor all at least.

Chase Stillman - maybe we have a reclamation project of a former 1st round pick? (that's about all we can hope for). I'm not holding my breath. The kid's AHL numbers are pretty pedestrian, and his scouting reports all talk about his energy and 'two-way smarts' but questionable hands. I'd advise him ...

An underwhelming return, but understandable given the return for Tarasov. At least he can only haunt the Canucks twice a year for the foreseeable future. I wish the kid well. We’ll see how he does outside of the Ian Clark School of Goaltenders. I have to believe there’s something to the Pittsburgh co ...

General Manager Patrik Allvin announced today that the #Canucks have agreed to terms with forward Braeden Cootes on a three-year, entry-level contract. got $500,000 in schedule A bonuses on this contract. Tidy bit of business there, when the maximum is $825k. Not that the kid's agent would have ...

In that case, just in time to replace Bluegers. Raty will have competition, then. This next season is pivotal for Raty's career if he wants to be an everyday NHLer - in Vancouver or elsewhere.

Per @reporterchris and @PierreVLeBrun, paper moves will be eliminated. If a player is loaned to the AHL, they will have to report every single time and they will also have to play 1 AHL game before his NHL club can recalled him. Bonus for the players who won't be 'papered down' to their AHL salary ...

We would all miss the boos when the Cup is handed out. Or, well, anytime he takes to the ice to talk to the fans. lol.. true. I will say, he handles the boos well. Its almost entertainment now to watch how he chirps back Agreed. I have tried so hard to hate him all these years yet I find I have ...

Ehlers to Carolina. Six years at an AAV of $8.5 million. Not disappointed he didn't sign in Vancouver. Not that it's a wild overpayment, but just doesn't seem like the right fit for that money. Brock comes cheaper (AAV-wise, but a year longer), and Ehlers doesn't play centre. We'll see if that's ...

[ I don't think anyone is counting on Cootes to be a 2C any time soon - if ever. I expect he will be in 4 or 5 years. A few games in year 3. 30 games year 4 as a 4th liner, and 60 games year 5 as a mostly ready 2/3 center. Then, 17 more years as a #2 center (40 is the new 32??? Lol). Seriously, a ...

It’s not like he’ll do anything to convince Hughes to stay. It’s not like he’d name his son Quinn or something crazy like that…oh…hang on a second. He already did that, didn’t he. Okay, Conor’s gonna do anything. Hughes gonna feel max pressure. lol Wait, did that really happen? Close enough. The kid ...

At some point we have to see what we have in Raty. This is the year to let him prove himself. A centre may come free into the season. Maybe not. But lets not rush it. HW, if you listen to the media 2/3 of league are looking for a #2 C. A trade will be damn expensive and any UFA will damn expensive ...

Bob was legit in a business full of paparazzi level reporting. He was one of the few authoritative voices in his (and TSN's) hockey telecast heyday. The thing I appreciated about him is that he wasn't a shameless Toronto-shill. His successors in the industry in Canada have devolved into ...

Some interesting tidbits, Dhaliwal reporting: - Nucks wanted C.Dvorak, he passed. - Nucks wanted Mikael Granlund, he passed. We would have had a Sea of Granlunds again. :P - Brock had 5 offers on the table for him. He waited out the Nucks and got his 7 yrs. - Nucks trying to move DJ81 & TB53 to ...
