<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nighthawk</b></div><div>Hardly an overpay. Don’t need wingers. Beau isn’t improving the line up &amp; is only an effort to balance Lou’s cap problem. Not trying to be a homer in the slightest it’s just this deal doesn't address Canucks needs. Idk if good trade partners.</div></div>

Maybe they’re not good trading partners but it seemed like there was something at the draft that fell through. Beau is a wildcard. I didn’t like trading him because I think he could break out given different circumstances and your right it was used to balance the cap. The picks need to be used by the canucks to address their needs which I assume is RD and C.
At least I didn’t try to unload Bailey on Vancouver and make it sound like a good idea.

Thread: Wpg - Byfuglien
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Boggsauce</b></div><div>Listen. If Buff retires he won’t count against the cap.

If he plays, he’s a way better player than Boychuck. Maybe not the all star he used to be, but a top 4 D.

There is no scenario in which it makes sense to trade Byfuglien. For anything</div></div>

Hey I’m listening. You supposed Winnipeg fans are really coming to Byfuglien defence in this unprofessional matter. Seems pretty clear that you guys already know that Byfuglien is not going to retire and that he is coming back at some point. It really just looks like to everyone else that this is cap shenanigans.
Since you already know he is coming back, I agree, it is clear that Winnipeg really doesn’t need to do anything to bolster their defence. Thanks for the info.

Thread: Wpg - Byfuglien
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BurgerBoss</b></div><div>As long as Byfuglien is suspended without pay, he doesn't affect the cap. If Buff returns, WPG will gladly welcome him back.

The thing is, Buff at $7,6M for 2 years is a much, much better contract than Boychuk's $6M for 3 years. With the level they both showed last year, I'd say Buff is overpaid for a million or two, but Boychuk is getting more than two times than he deserves... Which makes this quite laughable.

But at the moment since Buff don't affect on WPG's salary cap, they have no reason to move him. This makes it essentially WPG taking a bad contract for basically nothing.</div></div>

I don’t disagree that Byfuglien is a better contract than Boychuk. Why else would I suggest this.

I disagree with “they have no reason to move him”. As long as Winnipeg struggles and falls in the standings while he sits and does not retire is not tenable forever. They say he is contemplating retirement but is that really the issue? Byfuglien needs to make up his mind. It is actually quite ridiculous and unprofessional what he is doing.

Thread: Wpg - Byfuglien
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tsyls</b></div><div>I’d rather see buff sit at home and not play than trade for a pylon in boychuk lol. Yeah the WPG defence is way below average but I’d literally rather have what we have now. All it takes is buff making the decision to return and everything changes. My suggestion is to do nothing. Winnipeg would be absolutely stupid to go out and make a bad trade to try and fill a blue line need. They lose every trade because each and every GM knows what position we’re in. Why not just let the young guys play, weather the storm and then have an experienced group for years to come.

I’m trying hard not to laugh at this post <a href="/users/arafay" target="_blank">@arafay</a> <a href="/users/MissTheWhalers" target="_blank">@MissTheWhalers</a> <a href="/users/Isles777" target="_blank">@Isles777</a></div></div>

I’m really not sure the isles would want to downgrade from Boychuk to Byfuglien anyway. You may think he is a pylon until you get in the corner with him. Good luck to you. Someone suggested solid 2nd pairing defenceman. I’m not sure if I would go that high but definitely solid 3rd pair
