Thread: VAN - CHI
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Cb24</b></div><div>This is bad for Vancouver, Boeser isn't a cap dump no matter how much you all wanna believe the propaganda. Myers is easier moved and will cost less, if anything by waiting 5 days after the draft when his bonus is paid out and some of the UFA D are gone.
To move back from a premium player at 11oa to pick a good player at 19oa will cost Chicago more than Ottawa 2nd. That in of itself is the usual trade value, of an average draft, to move from 19 to 11</div></div>

myers bonus is payed sept 15 for some reason or else id agree with you. if allvin think they can get a guy they have ranked 10-12 at 19 and they can get back into the second round i can see him looking at trading down but i agree id rather take our pick of the bunch at 11 than risk it.

and i agree not sure when boeser became a negative asset

Thread: Miller
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dan10900</b></div><div>Points are relatively useless without a significant amount of context, especially when evaluating a player that is a complete liability defensively, likely getting far more minutes than he would on a different team, and is relying on rather high oiS% and PP time that he might not get (at 5v5 he scored at a worse rate than Kotkaniemi lol) that will not last in CAR (not to mention he's well past the average prime of a forward, and the contract goes until he's THIRTY SEVEN)</div></div>

everyone sucked on the canucks before tocchet 5v5, the team was awful not just him. great on the PK and him and Petey torched team for SHP. he gets much more than 8 on the open market and got less than Horvat who was worse on the same team. he turns 37 after the deadline of his final year so it will be his 36 year old season, with a cap likely 10-15 mil higher than it is right now. when t cap rises in just a few years a player of miller caliber will be above 10mil based on cap%. sure he wont be a ppg player then but he has the skillset to be effective as he ages as his game is already not reliant on his footspeed (which is what you lose with age, not hockey IQ)

Thread: Can NYR match
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Onlyfairtrades1</b></div><div>Because posters here think it's realistic means it's actually realistic? LOL. Come on, 95% of what is posted here is pure nonsense and fantasy. In the last 38 years I believe there have been 38 offer sheets and only 3 have been successful I think, so how how if Laffy getting an offer sheet realistic? Jeff Gorton said when he was the Ranger GM going through a rebuild with a ton of cap room that he doesn't believe in offer sheets and never issued one, so how is the Habs (run by Gorton) giving Laffy an offer sheet realistic? It is possible, but in not very probable at all, so it's not very realistic. But, because Ranger fans say no thanks to the non stop ridicules Laffy trades posted by Hab fans (and others), the offer sheet threats then come out. How is that not a childish reaction to a no thanks to your bad trade offer? It's what a spoiled 8 year old boy would say. So that is why it is a childish post by sad and unhappy fans that don't get exactly what they want.</div></div>

i am vancouver no montreal. you litterally said yourself 95% of the stuff on here is nonsense and the title of the team is literally asking the question if NYR can match...

and how are offersheets not realistic when they have been happening almost every year/second year (regardless if they work) also a flat cap world absolutly increases the odds of a team weaponizing cap space

Thread: l ete de Kent
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Aaron_Dell_Pickle</b></div><div>Dont you think maybe his emergence says more about the Canucks system than the Canes? TDA was still atrocious defensively but he was paired with a top5 defensive dman in Slavin who was there to fix any mistake he made.

No one except elite talents succeed as a dman in Vancouver. Jordi Benn? Tyler Myers? OEL? Joelevi? Hamonic? Smidth? Poolman? Dermot? Stillman? and since 2020 how many good dman have played for you?</div></div>

dont know why yoou turned it onto the canucks believe me i know this team hasnt had good defence in years...

however under tocchet that defensive system is now actually being put in place and made fringe NHLers, like wolanin, breisbois, juulsen look like they belong on an NHL ice, a good coach will do that.

playing very sheltered minutes on one of, if not the best defensive team in the league doesnt equate to being a top 4 dman. put him in any other teams top 4 he falls flat
