Re: What The Offseason Indicates About The Effects of a Rising Cap

Technically its not a compounding method, but I get what you are saying ... Not sure if I've mentioned this before but for anyone interested in the business side of the game, a must watch is a podcast called The Deal with Alex Rodriguez and Jason Kelly and the episode with David Blitzer, who has an ...

Re: What The Offseason Indicates About The Effects of a Rising Cap

Good post HWSaint… I wasn’t sure what you meant by compounding salary cap? Thanks for the response & more revenue info. Compounding cap meaning that if revenues (& the cap) increase at 9% a year, next years 9% is based on an already enhanced cap and so forth each and every year. It’s how you get an ...

Re: What The Offseason Indicates About The Effects of a Rising Cap

Good post HWSaint… When discussing the salary cap and escrow, I think it’s important to remember that the salary cap is reset each season based on projected revenues for that year… Escrow was the correction mechanism the league and players devised to deal with years when the projections were greater ...

Re: Re-booted SKYO approved pipe dreams and trade ideas

Riksters post..... Can't make this stuff up.... Sometimes the information is just mashed up and spit out in a jumble because nobody (outside of the locker room) knows the truth.....and those inside won't say anything about it (at least not for a few years). So you have to read between the lines and ...

Re: Re-booted SKYO approved pipe dreams and trade ideas

Good call rikster, oh no EP didn’t attend a dinner. Front page news. EP was at the heart of all the drama, therefore party to it. I’d rather we remove all those associated with the toxicity that impacted the room negatively. Petey’s presence is still representative of those dark days. Really, if you ...

Re: Re-booted SKYO approved pipe dreams and trade ideas

So a local beat reporter who looks at everything the way some here do, thinks Hughes got tired of EP's lack of training and that factored into his decision to quit on the team? Even though he came into camp in great shape and stronger? And some might argue had a better season up until his injury ...

Re: Canucks News N Notes 25-26

While I agree their original business model was in the condo market and they maintain a high volume in that industry, which equates to struggling as you suggest, they have also diversified their ownership portfolio well beyond the residential market place. Granted they are also involved in the high ...

Re: Canucks News N Notes 25-26

Who would want to spend 2.2 billion to get 40 million of revenue a year? It's insane. It only makes sense from a growth perspective. It's one of the reasons franchise values in the NHL are exploding, having a hard salary cap.... The Maple leaves who are the most valuable NHL franchise at $4.4 ...

Re: 2026 NHL Draft

On Juolevi, it seems the pick was both positionally driven and lowest perceived floor. That's why not McAvoy, not Sergeychev. Now, the scouts were wrong about Juolevi's floor, seemingly collectively, though injuries may have played a role. This only goes to show that no matter the question you are ...

Re: 2026 NHL Draft

Rikster I think the team's scouting went for a shit after Pat and Mike Penny were booted look at the drafting in Western Canada from 87-96. Delorme got marginalized abd ridiculed. He was a good scout. Blob, you're more knowledgable than I am on that time period ... more recently what seems odd to ...

Re: 2026 NHL Draft

In 2014 we wasted a 6th overall pick thinking a big heavy local kid was a good idea. In 2016 we wasted a 5th overall pick thinking we needed to go for a d-man over a heavy skilled guy because we already got one of those in 2014. In 2018 we scored a generational player with a 7th overall pick ...

Re: Hughes Traded Thread

The Canucks will have to take a considerable contract back to get rid of Petey and I’m okay with that. I just want him gone. I just don't think that has to be the case. (I mean, quite likely short term to make the cap numbers work, but not as a part of a "sweetner.") All the things you think EP40 d ...

Re: Hughes Traded Thread

The Canucks will have to take a considerable contract back to get rid of Petey and I’m okay with that. I just want him gone. The one story I find interesting and eye opening is Hughes inviting Petey to come work out with him last off season in Michigan. He declined . Says a lot to me. He’s an eni ...
