I knew that Canucks fans were being delusional that whole time

I didn’t believe in you guys and I was right

But I didn’t expect you guys would be that bad


To be honest, I’m surprised we actually came out of the season with a winning record

It was a fraudulent winning record

I’m not joking about that ****

Anyone with an IQ above 5 knew OEL-Myers was never doing Vancouver any favours

Don’t let Demko’s second half fool you, before injury he was arguably the worst goaltender in the league that season

Before the injury it was the offseason. I’m not sure what you’re talking about. Our season was riddled with injuries and underperforming players

Does he get more than Barbashev in total? I’m guessing maybe…

Maybe Tarasenko gets 6.8 x 4?

I revise. 6.6 x 5 or 6.2 x 6…. Cannot decide.

6.6 x 5 final answer.

I don’t think he goes for term. Likely takes a 1 or 2 year deal that walks him to FA when the cap increases.

Not sure why he'd sign for only 1 year. He should cash in while he has the opportunity. I'm thinking $6Mx6

I feel that’s a very good opinion. I’m curious about his desire for term given his injury history. It would be a challenge for him if he required additional shoulder work after a short term contract. Would almost be a ticket to the KHL. But financially it makes way more sense than targeting term.

The thing is he could get more next year as there's gonna be a cap jump and lets say he signs with OTT and puts on a show someone might say here's 7mill x 6 years

That's very risky, especially for a player w/ significant injuries in his past. But, I see the logic behind it.

Teams haven’t been willing to hand out those long term deals unless they’re the Isles. They’d sign him to a 10 year deal if they still could.

Michkov probably bumps them up 10-15 spots. Over the next 3-4 years of finishing bottom 10, they need to draft a 1D and and a 1C

Michkov bumped them 7 spots. His model also really likes the Flyers goalie prospects. Kolosov and Zavragin specifically.

I'd really like Demidov next year, but they need Defense desperately.
