Thread: A centre from the wild
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BigShoots</b></div><div>From what I remember is you can only retain a % which oddly isn't a feature on capfriendly (they make it a dollar amount). Anyway the % carries over.</div></div>

I just found an Athletic article from last deadline and it looks like I was wrong, retention must be done through the entirety of the term they're under contract, not just the active contract. I knew that retention needed to be an equal % across all years of the contract, but wasn't sure if that included if there was an extension. I must have been remembering some speculation from before they got clarification from the league since signing a long term extension then immediately trading the player with money retained hasn't happened in the cap era as far as I know.

Thread: Cup Run 2
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mr_Gardoki</b></div><div>I think you're saying that because you're not familiar with them. These are all former first round picks all within a couple of a years of their draft years and Tippett was a highly touted prospect.

I'd say that Hoglander nor Pod are any higher than those prospects were at the time. Tippett was certainly a higher pedigree than either of them.</div></div>

Both Tippett and Pod were drafted 10th overall. I think they’re quite comparable. When Tippett was traded, his value had come off considerably since he had not established himself in the NHL despite lots of chances. Very similar to Pod. My point isn’t that Vancouver’s prospects are better. It’s that the trade value for the rentals weren’t premium prospects. If Vancouver offered a first and Pod, that would be comparable value

Thread: Why is everybody trading for Buch
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SomeonesOffended</b></div><div>Gotta think St. Louis declines they’ll want 2 1sts and garland for him</div></div>

I think Brzustewicz has first round value atm

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jim_Benning_Almost</b></div><div>No chance I'd trade Hunter Brzustewicz yet. Buch is a great player, but Hunter one of our future big potentials.</div></div>

I'd consider moving him for a 1st line winger/top 4 RD. It's good to have Willander and Lekkerimaki in the system who could conceivably contribute on ELCs and I think the Canucks best window is probably in the next couple of years while Miller is still producing, the OEL buyout isn't at it's most punitive and Hughes and Demko are on their bargain contracts.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>xercuses</b></div><div>I’d want a little more for Buch ngl</div></div>

Any comparables? I think this offer is fair (good roster player, top prospect and a 2024 first round pick). Buch is a good player but not a superstar e.g. Nylander
