Thread: Offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Snowhawk18</b></div><div>You really need to think before posting.

Donato produced at the same rate as Mikheyev while making $2.75m less this season. The Hawks will be assisting the Canucks by freeing up $2.75m in cap space next season and $4.75m the following. On top of that you want Chicago to throw in the RFA rights to Anderson who proved to be a very useful depth forward… all of this for the awesome return of a 4th round pick three drafts from now.

Davidson tells the Canucks to go kick stones.

It takes a 1st round pick + for Chicago to even remotely consider your trade proposal, not a 4th.</div></div>

And that is a mistake Mikheyev had probably the most unlucky year of all Canucks. I bet if he had half the puck luck he had any year before he would've had closer to to 30 goals while being a very good defensive forward and finally starting to find his stride coming from ACL surgery. I really don't think Van should trade Mikheyev as everyone else thinks he's garbage cause of a bad 40 game stretch this year. We should trade guys when their value is highest not lowest.

Thread: game 1
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>kingkanuck</b></div><div>Could it be that the reason they are trailing late in the game is because they were split up?
Playing catch-up hockey is hard and it isn't any fun. It's also not a recipe for success.

The Lotto Line is a true #1 line.
Hoglander - Lindholm - Mikheyev seems a reasonable combination of offense and defense.
Joshua - Blueger - Garland was perhaps the best 3rd line in the league for quite a while this season.
I have to admit that I'm not thrilled with that 4th line but with limited ice time they shouldn't hurt the team. PDG and Lafferty will have to be replaced next season, perhaps Suter too.</div></div>

It may be a number 1 line but makes playing against us easier which is not a good thing.
Lindholm doesn't have the speed to play with Mik and Hoglander which doesn't mix well.
3rd line is a poor man's version of the line Lindholm played his best with in his career. They've been fine together even with playing against better competition then they did with Blueger.
Podkolzin brings more then PDG so he should be playing over him.

If you're running the Lotto line I'd say
Lotto line
Joshua-Lindholm-Garland
Hoglander-Blueger-Mikheyev
Podkolzin-Suter-Lafferty

Thread: Kotkaniemi scratched
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>spockrock</b></div><div>He can be very hot…ppg through the first 13 games this year and he played at a 60pt pace for the latter half of last season. But also very cold…pretty much since the first 13 games he’s been ice cold.

He’s still reasonably defensively responsible and decent with faceoffs, but otherwise he’s just there. Not really contributing much. He certainly has shown, in limited stretches, that he could be a very good top 9 player. He just makes too much $$$ for what he brings to the Canes and since they have Drury, who’s completely outplayed Kotkaniemi and will be much cheaper to re-sign, I think Kotkaniemi will eventually be the odd man out.</div></div>

Thanks so much. In the offseason what do you guys think of a return like Aman and a 4th to get out of his deal. Aman is defensively responsible 4th line C/PKer. He's shown okay offense in the A but hasn't translated and isn't overly physical (has size but mostly small bumps not hits)

Thread: Hronek
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mv21227</b></div><div>The only way to get KK at a reasonable cap hit is if Carolina retains. 4.8M for him is too much</div></div>

Pageau and Danault make 5m and are Veteran versions of what KK can be 4.8m isn't unreasonable.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheBoyDuddus</b></div><div>Ottawa has a lot of problems but Batherson's production and especially at his cost with term left on the deal... that's one of the only really good things. Vancouver would have to add and I dont think they'd be interested in that. I would honestly say he'd be one of the most expensive pieces to pry out of Ottawa because of how inexpensive his deal is.

That said, I've always liked Hronek and think he'd be a great get but just needs to be at the right price.</div></div>

Yeah don't think we'd add don't think not sure a deal will work as other then Batherson next target would be Tkachuk or Pinto who are probably more unavailable. Not sure if Allvin would think Grieg has enough potential, and Norris health is too big a question mark for us. So unless this years 1st is available then maybe.

Thread: Hronek
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mv21227</b></div><div>The Carolina return is awful. Morrow is good but taking on KK’s contract is an immediate no

Pass on the Buffalo deal also. Jokiharju is okay, but Krebs doesn’t add anything and I’d rather an impact NHLer be the main piece instead of a 1st that isn’t in this years draft</div></div>

Fair enough don't think Buffalo is a good match as who we'd want aren't available and they wouldn't want Hronek that bad. I don't mind KK and think having him as 3rd line Shutdown C for years at a reasonable cap hit could really benefit the team.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JamieG613</b></div><div>Leafs won't pay that price when they can get a better RHD for cheaper in FA</div></div>

Name one RHD better then Hronek? Only one is Pesce but that is honestly debatable Pesce is better defensively but not as good offensively.
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafsfan98</b></div><div>You'd have to take Lilly out of the deal...

No point in paying all that money for Hronek if you can't balance it out with cheaper defensemen...</div></div>

Fair enough I do think there would be an replacement piece then.

Thread: Marner for Hronek
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>theleano1</b></div><div>I don't think Vancouver would be willing to move Hronek without a RHD coming back, with us also sending the 1st over and getting Marners huge contract it really limits our ability to get another RHD and leaves only Noah Juulsen as our only top RHD, i think the value is close but the fit isn't there for Vancouver.</div></div>

I think they do if they can reasonably sign 2/3 UFAs better then Juulsen and Allvin thinks a bottom pairing alternating Juulsen/one of Woo/McWard/Johansson is the right call that said Marner isn't who we should be going for someone with size and skill makes more sense. We already have enough small forwards we don't need anymore even if Marner would be the best of the bunch.
