The names found in that link are 2nd rounders from the 2022 draft. I don’t recognize a single one of them as a regular NHL’er, let alone one that has already shown they can push for a role in the top-6 forward group. This serves as a reminder that (1) second round picks aren't terribly valuable and ...

Yserman done as GM, so much for the Yzerplan. https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/steve-yzerman-out-as-red-wings-gm-transitions-to-advisory-role/ One less Jim Benning to take advantage of. I would have to go into the wayback machine to figure out how the Tampa Bay Lightning were built, and what ...

Yandle stating on Chiclets that a little birdie told him that Gauthier's agent is telling Verbeek not a dollar less than Carlssons 18 mill..... Lol if true. A fine mess we've made little ball....remember what happened to little finger!!!! Always one of the side effects of matching Carlsson. The ...

I would trade Sushi (he "may" blossom beside Beniers) and a 2nd for Wright as Mëds indicated earlier in the thread. Rossi Wright Cootes Malhotra .....is a decent enough asset base down the gut for a team looking 3, 4, 5 years down the road as "go time". I don't think Kraks have any interest in Loui' ...

Assume Wright passes the "character" prerequisite. The primary thing the Canucks are trying to acquire these days is players who might become part of a future core of a team that at first competes the playoffs and then the Cup. As of now, all spots are open for this core in say, 3-5 years time ...

If we just decided on a rebuild a year earlier.....what ifs Lankinen was the wrong call without going into the rebuild last year. The reason is that the Canucks knew they weren’t a playoff team with Lankinen as a starter playing about as well as he could. And with a downgrade in offense (no Miller), ...

There’s the rub. He may have a short list of teams he’d accept a trade to, yet the ones interested in are not on his list. So do you dump him now and take what you can get, or sit on him for a year and hope he his value doesn’t drop. I guess it depends on how much RJ wants to remove him. If we are t ...

Read a bunch of stuff about teams cool on DeBrusk due to term of deal combined with streaky game. Decent term and dollar investment on a guy you never know when you can count on..... You just need one team hot on him…. The Canucks traded two guys that produced as middle 6 wingers last year, Garland ...

I mean, in this case, Verbeek tried to get a young player to sign for a decent contract. Frankly $12+M (rumoured) for a guy, who has not yet scored 82 points in a season, is more than fair. Now the agent was doing his job and trying to gobble up more by projecting what Carlsson should become over ...

The worst part of this situation is that now any pending RFA's may gamble on themselves in their final season. Which sorta ties management's hands into a damned if you do, damned if you don't. Curious, Mëds, as to why the normative “worst” description? If RFAs start to get firmer with their limited ...

Mildly surprised, but Verbeek's options without Carlsson probably looked too dim to swallow. Does this leave Anaheim in the same boat as Edmonton and Toronto - long on scoring talent at the top end of the roster but can't defend to save themselves? Carlsson will be a star, and will likely be that ...

OFFER SHEET MATCHED! OFFER SHEET MATCHED!




























This time its Carlsson. Quack quack.

Yeah...both shoulders now. Looks like Bedard’s shoulders can’t bear any more that Pettersson’s…. Feel bad for the kid. This injury will cost him many millions. And worse, the reason why is that there’s a serious risk that he will never be the player he could have been. The Canucks and Blackhawks are ...

Question UW - if the whole fiasco did not occur would they have come out this way? I think it would, because Belgium still looked solid (better) when the US got their nerve, and I think there’s a fair amount of second wind scoring talent on the Belgian team to be able to never be out of a game (as S ...
