Canucks News N Notes 2020-2021

If they are only slightly better, Boeser scores and they beat Vegas.
Western finals sound good.

Jake will get us there...

He bought season tickets with his new contract? lol

One way or .... t’other

Stecher

Doc, what's with the Micky-like obsession with that poor dog? (Sorry Micky, I wanted an analogy Doc would understand. )

The dog represents Doyle + Micky's Stecher-loving hearts.

The boot being put to said hearts is mine (I willed Stecher the fuck outta here).

I feel Doyle + Micky's Stecher-loving hearts need to have the boots put to them.

(as punishment for loving a player who sucked so bad)

It is also a reminder that I called the runt-punt and said I was looking forward to it.

As usual, I do what I do for the good of the two posters and that of the site...

[Mickey107]

Ya well Jordie be too fat to punt..

kidding

[Cousin Strawberry]

What myself and many others have noted is the gy-humous fucking steps Juolevi has taken in his development and it will be the big surprise next training camp.

I say this as a known and celebrated finnish pipe-cleaner critic going back almost to draft day.

I see what i see and what i see is a player....all of a sudden. That and a bunch of empty dope jars all over my desk

Jake Virtanen talks for almost 20 minutes on Sportsnet radio and didn't even mention this:

Jeff Paterson @patersonjeff
Tyler Myers is apparently taking on the Tanev 'dad' role. Virtanen works out with him every morning in Kelowna: 'he treats me like his son'

Talked plenty on how much JT miller had been helping him this season.

contract structure..
2020-21: $1.7M
2021-22: $3.4M

This is really a shit or get off the pot contract. RFA with a $3.4 mil cap hit means a big qualifying offer, , or he goes unqualified. But, he is very affordable this year. And, the best part is we can fit him into the cap with a bit of monkeying around - without- having to dump a contract and assets.

Don't forget that they changed to QO amount in the latest CBA (grandfathered).

This means Jake's QO will be around $3M.

Nobody loves Jordie...

So Jake is finding mowing Tyler’s lawn and washing Tyler’s truck to be a workout?

I mean, why work out and stay in shape when you can party at The Shaggy Horse and eat gut bombs at McDonald’s the next day.

Lol. I like how you must stalk Virtanen to know what he eats.

You serve him while you were working that day?

Your making shit up like the Chef.

thanks for the laugh.

[Madcombinepilot]

Let’s be clear - Virtanen enjoys fighting as much as Trevor Linden did. Not gonna happen

Pretty much. That’s why I laugh at the constant Cam Neely comparisons. Hell I’d settle for Virtanen becoming another Dustin Brown which with his physical gifts shouldn’t be that much to ask. The problem is Jake just doesn’t give a fuck. He parties like a rock star, and eats like a fucking pig. People blaming his lack of production or not getting enough opportunity on Travis Green are out to lunch.

Well , when you’re out partying at a packed downtown Vancouver nightclub on the eve of entering a quarantined bubble with fellow NHL’ers that kind of gives us an insight on the man, the myth, the legend that Jake is becoming. Rocks between his ears. Apparently the NHL brethren were non too happy with Jake. He’s a fucking idiot plain and simple. If we can add him as the sweetener to get rid of Loui please fucking do it!

JV just isn't worth having on the team. Not even for one year. There is no more "show me". He already has!
Done with Jake.

Looks like professional hockey people think that his 18 goals last season are worth about 4.5 million over 2 years.

Cool story. Now stay in your own lane and go back to beating on Gomer

[Madcombinepilot]

Good.... top lines top minutes... 25 g 25 a

If he hits that, at his cap hit, he'd be flippable for a good prospect or a 1st next off-season

.. if he hits that, WHY WOULD YOU FLIP HIM??

Benning is likely not done, but if he is, the team is in fair shape, and we know the rookies will get a pile of games in. With such a messed up potential year coming up, I am hoping JB stands pat, and plays the pss out of some rookies. He can now wait until things go back to normal, instead of being a seller.

That qualifying offer is what makes him unattractive to expansion. Why spend that kind of money on a QO (if Jake doesn’t perform to contract) when you can get an ‘exactly what you pay for’ in a guy like Rooster instead?
