That will change if the contract is frontloaded. It currently just shows the 2/3 buyout ratio for every year.

Not saying the Miller deal is bad but idk I feel what we saw out of him was a career year and Vancouver should have sold high

Like just imagine

Miller gets traded for a huge package and then using the extra space Vancouver goes to a team needing to shed cap (i.e. CBJ) and gets Oliver Bjorkstrand for almost nothing

In general I agree with JF tweet

This is exactly the kind of player a team like the Canucks should cash out on and trade for a big return. A great player but with inflated value and due for a contract, well, like this.

One team I could see get desperate and overpay for Horvat ===>

They have Bergeron, Krejci, Coyle, Zacha, Frederic, Lazar, Studnicka lol. They needed a C last year. Not now

Next year I should have said lul

As once Bergeron and Krejci retire Boston has 2 choices

Rebuild/ Long-Retool

or

Go full SJS level of denial

Yeah but that’s always the case for big players, they get term, deal ends badly, we’ve seen it for almost every big UFA since the dawn of time, it’s the first half of the contract that counts, that’s the part the GM’s care about and you need to build a cup winning team, the question is can they capitalize on it

Wish you'd swap back to the pig pfp.
This one you're rocking is very unsettling to me.

Would be even better if he did a slew foot motion

Fire up the Miller trades again

Of note: the NMC begins on July 1, 2023. It does not begin retroactively, meaning that the #Canucks can trade Miller up to June 30 without his approval. https://t.co/0RYRYUG7fC

CHADWARD FOR LIFE

But the profile pic before was Ed singing Your Love lul not a piggy

Veteran F James Neal, once a hated figure in the Blue Jackets' room, will come to training camp with #CBJ on a PTO.Hard to see a lineup spot at this juncture for Neal, who turns 35 today.But expect to see him play in at least a couple of preseason games.1/2

THE R E A L D E A L

J A M E S N E A L

Anyone who’s watched sandin and Ty smith play, who has the better skating ability?

Why another forward? Maybe because of the texier situation but still. Makes no sense

I would assume it's extra insurance in case Johnson still isn't ready.

I've seen a lot of people saying he should go down to Cleveland to get reps in as a 1C so if that's the plan they go with, in comes Neal.

Sandin overall I think.
Ty’s got slightly better edges, but he’s quite slow at the NHL level. This coupled with his smaller stature doesn’t give him any good tools to defend against rushes.
Sandin’s definitely faster in any case.

I even think Sandin 4 way mobility is better. Smith is better at walking the blue line, but I like Sandins skating in the Dzone and changing direction in the ozone.

I’m bringing this up because Pronman has Ty smith’s skating as above average and Sandin as below average. Makes no sense lol

Question: Which Contract that is not looked at as bad now do you think will age poorly?

My Answer: Darcy Keumper

Probably.

huberdeau

Doesn’t everyone think that’ll look bad by like year 4 or 5 lol?

Filip forsberg , Nick Paul

I’m a big fan of all the sens moves this offseason (Debrincat, Giroux, Joseph extension) but they are not making the playoffs with Zaitsev and Hamonic in the lineup at the same time. It’s not happening.

dont see it mentioned much
