Don't let him fool you Rikster, he's been a willing participant in EPIC battles on this hockey board! I downloaded ...

Re: Canucks News N Notes 2020-2021

Second, not overspending on a fourth line would be an improvement, wouldn't it? Not to nitpick, but this criticism is always framed differently than the way I see it... This is a good post, and lays out the "bring the kids up with vets" philosophy and how the Canucks are ahead of the curve now. But...

Re: Canucks News N Notes 2020-2021

I wouldn't read too much into the media narrative that they failed and circled back ... Especially when you consider how concerned the media were about being able to resign Toffoli because his wife worked in LA and he would be most likely to sign with a California team in the offseason... The only p...

Re: The Official CC "All Thing Leaves" thread

This is the best explaination I've seen; https://twitter.com/EarlSchwartz27/status/1153799226175848454 As someone pointed out, Marner needs to be signed before the season starts or the leaves will have even more challenges getting cap compliant, they can't afford another Nylander situation where his...

Re: Let's get creative with Erikkson...

non-stop ideals! Eriksson for Canes James Reimer. NY sports columnist: Luke DeCock - James Reimer’s time with the Hurricanes could be short. Agreed to take on his contract to get out from under Darling buyout. Other potential moves in works. Reimer $3.4M AAV x2 - $3.1M cap hit if in minors - saves ...

Re: Let's get creative with Erikkson...

August 8, 2017 via pro hockey rumours: Over the last three seasons in particular, we’ve seen a number of so-called “ mutual terminations ”. In fact, we’ve seen more mutual terminations over this period than buyouts. They are just as they sound – when a player and team decide their prior arrangement...

Re: Let's get creative with Erikkson...

4th period, Sept 25, 2018: Ottawa tried to trade Zack Smith last season and this summer. He’s now on waivers with 3-years left on his deal. Bit of a surprise, frankly. $3.25M x 2 left on deal, no bonuses, 10 team no trade to clause. Eriksson for Smith straight up. Thanks SKYO for contributing to th...

Let's get creative with Erikkson...

Put him in the minors.. Trade for a like bad contract....... Trade the player and package with a high pick or prized prospect... These seem to be the options to move Erikkson that are being thrown around .... I'm going to take a more creative approach to dealing Loui and while I say creative you mig...
