Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

Can't stand the Oilers, really hope they lose but I'm not sure they will. Florida is a very good team but Oilers seem to be a team of destiny. Zero injuries to any of their players so far, and when they've been outplayed they've still won. Last night's game was a joke, Oilers weren't even in the sam...

Big offseason coming up - should be fun to watch. I’d try and sign a few of the UFAs to below market deals and see if they accept. Myers almost certainly will, doubt Z, Dakota or Lindholm would though. That’s fine as they are all replaceable. Sign Hronek long term at somewhere around $7 million. I ...

I doubt the NHL would allow Loui to keep his bonus money if he retires. Such a thing has never happened and I'm pretty sure there's nothing in the CBA that covers it. The NFL went through this with Barry Sanders when he retired in 1999. It had never happened in the NFL and nothing in the CBA. In th...

I'm still amazed there's actually something they agree on. Leaf bashing brings everyone together.

blah blah blah I fully agree :hmmm: I lived in Toronto It's all starting to make sense now... https://media.giphy.com/media/tEa6GpFtMujao/200.gif Thanks for the laugh. :lol: I assume you’ve never lived anywhere other than the lower mainland or perhaps BC? I’d highly recommend trying somewhere else,...

UDL, Doc.... Could be. I would certainly enjoy that if it comes to pass. Up front, in terms of value, Sakic took a top pairing defenseman and his #1 PPQB, and packaged him with a young 40-50 point center (with a bit more upside left in him possibly.....though I doubt it happens in TO for him lol) a...

You were saying? :mex: Lol, Benning haters have been ripping on Jimbro for weeks about a contract that never existed in reality... Hmm that's strange, Diehard was explaining how he's so reasonable, and everybody who disagrees with him is unreasonable... ...But you're saying he was just talking out ...

So Luongo wanted to go on LTIR. Panthers said they would prefer he just retire as it would be cheaper for them in the long run and they wouldn’t have to work around the LTIR every year. So he said ok. If he went on LTIR they’d be on the hook for his full salary less our retention and only get relie...

Myers isn't out of the question. Buying out Spooner gives us an extra $2M in cap space Buying out Schaller gives us an extra $1M in cap space No need to buy either out - drop them into the minors and you save almost the same amount of cap space, but the contracts are only on the books for 1 year in...

Luongo has tweeted he’s opted to retire Yep just saw that, good for him to retire, bad for the Nucks to get stuck with a cap hit for an arbitrary rule that Bettman brought in because he's a small, small man. That said, the cap hit is only $2.2 million as the retained salary of $800k is gone. Not as...

All you people who hate the Miller trade only get to bitch about Benning BECAUSE the GM is Benning. The ten top picks before Benning became GM were Horvat, Gaunce, Jensen, McNally, Schroeder, Hodgson, White, Grabner, Bourdon, and Schneider - Whoopdeefriggindo! Some people act like first round picks...

JB's name has been associated with pretty much every single player and trade rumour this off-season. That doesn't sound like tunnel vision to me. That sounds like a GM exploring all of his options. That may be true, but the overpayments for Guddy, Vey, Pedan, Philip Larsen, Sutter, Prust and now JT...
