imo this management group is the most competent that this organization has ever had and i'm excited about the trade deadline and the up coming season. guentzel will not cost a roster player, prospect or a draft pick. get him if he's willing to come to vancouver.

wrong. You cannot keep Boeser next year or Hughes in 2 years if your adding another 9 million dollar salary

@@SlipStream-l3y I think you can if you part with other salaries and the cap goes up. If Garland and Mikheyev are moved, for example, that will help. I'm not convinced Boeser is going to get or even ask for a huge increase especially if they wait and he produces at a 30 goal clip this year instead of 40.

Until now, Hronek was a very expensive rental, so I'm glad they got this done without committing crimes against the salary cap. It's a compressed schedule between the end of the playoffs and the entry draft/free agency and teams are pretty obviously tired of waiting for the Finals to end, but I expect the NHL head office to be flooded with deals the day after the Cup is won. I feel confident of Canucks management to get the job done in the offseason, after years where saying that would have people wonder if my account had been hacked.

So NOT too busted up and certainly not so busted up that he needed to be gone. He also had an excellent rapport with Quinn, on and off the ice. I am not trying to beat a dead horse, but he was playing quality hockey BEFORE he left and he is the type of D man we have been missing since.

There are stupid articles for trading Demko and Boeser. They are looking for another scoring winger so why trade away Boeser. Why ruin the chemistry he has with Miller? Doesn't that mean they need to look for another scoring winger? lol. These guys are in their prime. You don't trade these guys, you try to win cups with these guys.

I dont understand the logic that he needs his own pairing. I dont see anyone else to put with Hughes. Myers isnt an option in my opinion. Having the best defensive pair in the league seems like good value. I can seem on his own pairing when some of the young guns come up. Jett Woo has taken his time but I think will be in and out next year. D Petty and Tom Wilander maybe the yeae after. With those young additions it would make sense.

I’m ok with this signing. Prime age RHD that compliments Hughes offensively. However, they were both terrible defensively and were shut down majority of the playoffs.

@lmcbain06643 ай бұрын
Lindholm and Cole, generally speaking I agree that they can be replaced. Lindholm will be tougher than Cole, as he was very good once healthy, but an equal "value" prop is doable - arguably Blueger gives you equal value, because of how good he was relative to cost. Zadorov is not so easy, as there simply aren't that many big men like that who also move like he does. A Joshua replacement is not so easy to get, at the price point we can probably achieve. He proved to have good hockey IQ, he has hands and vision, he plays physical and has decent size to back it up.
