Canucks News N Notes 26-27

[Cornuck]

Eh?

That's what you read out of that?

Sorry - I just have very little faith in the media to report actual news, vs random (possibly made up) hearsay.

Sure, fair enough.

But it's the dog days of summer and what's out there is out there and available for reporting discussion.

It had enough legs that a Penguin beat writer and Lalji chose to comment.

So bringing it up is fair game all that considered....

[Meds]

Can't figure out why Cornuck is choosing to heavily scrutinize the media rumours during the summer.....I think maybe he's become as jaded as the rest of us towards this team.

[Ronning's Ghost]

If Verbeek loses Carlsson to offer sheet, what kind of pressure will he be under to get the ship back on track? He’ll have a boatload of 1sts and Pettersson would come in way cheaper than $18 million.

West Coast team. Lots of the kind of trade capital that RJ would want. Cheaper alternative to Carlsson - albeit older and contingent on a comeback.

See how this offer sheet drama shakes out, and make your pitch, RJ.

I like that kind of thinking.

Cheerful summer daydreaming fodder.

ElitePouter40 gone and a couple of first round picks returned to a management team that has not yet crushed our fantasies of competence could see the '30 Canucks be a real juggernaut.

Yeah. Verbeek could sell a $6.4M cap space savings as a win.....especially if Scooter managed to bounce back to even being a 70 point pivot. It would leave money for Gauthier and perhaps more.

[donlever]

Facts are a player like Scooter if scoring 65 - 70 points a year winning 50% draws and being a defensive zone asset is probably worth 10 mill per sooner than later anyway.

So a market for him is arguable.

How antivaxx-ish of you!
