Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

Tough to find a worse value than Bobby Ryan.. but Eriksson fits the bill. Bobby's a legit 2nd liner here.

Canucks would make out like bandits in that deal. Sold!!

Farhan is one unstable dude. I’ve got the PMs to prove it.

Tough to show up if you're not even invited to the rink.

If we could somehow clear Eriksson' 3 yr contract, that would really help alleviate the Luongo 3 yr recapture. (yes obvious, just sayin eheh) Eriksson + Woo might do it. Maybe Eriksson + Demko. They might have to throw another 2nd in with each of those guys. I think they might be better off to cut ...

Good return, imo.

Luongo Retires.... https://www.nhl.com/panthers/news/luongos-open-letter-to-the-fans/c-308071408?fbclid=IwAR3fL35XY6wAtYXLg-5QX9t4QmRV4ap9weBrfrjCiQmDNsD_BZxtsaa_7ac So $2.8M cap hit? I assume this means his $800K retention comes off the books? So it only adds $2.2M-ish of new dead money to the cap.

Fixed.

I don't judge transactions against perfection.....sure I'd like to see the team win every deal but that isn't based on reality... I base the job Bennings done against the other GM's in the leagues track records... If we are throwing around assumptions to make our arguments, I'm assuming that there ...

TRADE: The Lightning have traded forward J.T. Miller to Vancouver for a conditional first-round pick in 2020, a third-round selection in 2019 and goaltender Marek Mazanec. Should the Canucks not make the playoffs in 2019-20, the first-round selection will move to the 2021 draft. Not a fan of the pr...

There are some exceptional Russian players in the league right now. And note that the best ones don’t seem to be ‘problems’. Here’s hoping he makes it to the team sooner than 2 years. I don't think it's a matter of talent, Puck. Pretty sure the NHL/KHL agreement forbids inter-league transfers, and ...

Don't mind taking the risk. He likely woudln't crack the team next year, so it's essentially an extra year wait.

And with the way ELC's are going these days, might be wise to let this one slide a year or two. Could be a fantastic (cheap) addition in 2021-22.

@Sportsnet650 Benning - “We put a provision in Edler’s contract in case for whatever reason the expansion draft date is moved up that he will be eligible to be exposed.” 12:16 PM - 20 Jun 2019 from Vancouver, British Columbia -------------------------------------------------------------------------...

Much can happen between now and July 1st. The objective here is to improve the defence for next year and beyond. If this means moving on from Edler, so be it, but I don’t believe anything until it’s official. Yep. I imagine both sides are comfortable with allowing Edler to interview with other team...

Chicago just got Olli Maatta from Pittsburgh for Dominik Kahun and a 2019 5th round pick. That doesn't seem like much for the Pens. They give up a 24-year-old, former 1st rounder for an undrafted, 24-year-old German and a pick. Kahun did get 13 goals and 24 assists in 82 games. I haven't watched Ma...
