Thread: After Overpaying Pearson
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wqrrior</b></div><div>They gave him maybe 500k too much. I'm not sure why everyone is acting like that's the end of the world. Especially given his his presence has helped Bo out so much. This is different than the bottom six contracts of old in that Pearson is not a bottom six guy, and is not as old as the others. Its a little bit much, bot not to make such a huge stink over (not pointing it at you, but in general fans).

However, in regard to this build, I wouldn't make this much of a stink about Pearson then go out and sign Cizikas to that. Yes, Cizikas might be part of one of the best fourth lines in the league, but, just that - FOURTH line. Team needs a better 3C, not another year of 2 4th lines. I like Lowry more; he's out of cost probably, but I don't really see the fit for Cizikas on Vancouver.</div></div>

I can see your point. I looked at Czikas to fill their need for a good defensive third liner to take defensive minutes away from Bo. But your right he is a very good fourth liner. Maybe Haula would be better and cheaper. I wish they thought to do that this year...

Thread: Offer-Sheetin in a Pandemic
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BStinson</b></div><div>32OV is more than fair/overpay and then you attach Baertschi to the deal so hard no. Demko was mediocre during regular season and had three great games in the playoffs. I’d rather go after Markstrom like the rumor and keep the 32OV. Pass on the Detroit deals and I don’t thinks we should even look at exploring them.</div></div>

That was supposed to be the DET 2nd rounder from Washington (thumb must have slipped). Baertschi is only making actual 2.4 mill for 1 more year and is a decent top 6 player (better than Gagner). Only reason Demko would be traded is because Markstrom resigns with a NMC. Otherwise Demko would be taken in expansion. He's well regarded around the league and would be the Canucks goalie of the future if not for this situation. According to reports here not wanting to give Markstrom a NMC until after yr 1 is the main sticking point in negotiations because they may want to leave him unprotected in expansion rather than Demko. I don't know Detroit's goalie prospects but someone would definitely take this deal
