Thread: Reported Virtanen Trade

Can we do Rousell + 3rd 2021 for Danton Heinen + 6th 2022 instead?

Thread: Time for Benning to go

It feels like the Canucks gave up on their 'Fluery' a.k.a. Marky for their 'Murray' a.k.a. Demko and we can see how that went. Hi, Ottawa...how ya doing?

Thread: BENNING AND GREEN COUNT DOWN BEGINS AFTER TONIGHT

Ya. Toss Benning. I sat on the fence for so long with him because he is a drafting phenom (or maybe it was Judd Bracket).
I mean....why did we not sign Tanev or Tofolli. Markstrom I get. Stetcher I understand. And then..Virtanen. Schmidt basically landed in Benning's lap. And before that the horrible Sutter (though I like him, just not at that price), Eriksson (Worse contract since Luongo (love Luo, but contract was ****) & Eriksson is much much worse)...Roussel & Beagle (same as Sutter). Regardless to say...Benning is going to have a long summer free.

I also think that the Aqualini's need to sell to someone that doesn't micromanage or just **** off.

With Green...Im ...I dont know. I say maybe resign? The core is coming together, you need to consider having a coach that will be with the developing core. Do you bring up ....Trent Cull?
OH I know, grab Torts (round 2 anyone?) or Babcock (bahaha).

Thread: Canucks - Thoughts

Paying Demko too much. For that price Ithink Petterson only 3 years. I would resign Pearson over signing Armia if that is the choice. Bo needs that consistent winger that clicks with him.

I kinda agree about Holtby too. Maybe we make Virtanen available and they take him. We have Lind and Podkolzin that could come up and there will be a number of free agents too.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HabsFuture</b></div><div>Hey I don't follow VAN a lot but how come they haven't been playing Baertschi? I know hes injury prone but I think hes healthy right</div></div>

He has been healthy last year / this year. I think something happened with Management. Last year, full year in AHL and did really well 46 points in 43 games...played 6 game in Vancouver and played okay too. Concussion is still an issue, but I mean, what do they have to loose. Now, it is a matter of being cap-strapped.

Thread: Fixing the lines

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bringer_Of_Snow</b></div><div>I don't mind those forward lines. Would love to see what Kahun can do with 97 over Ennis though, since there is a chance Kahun is in the Oilers future plans.

I honestly don't believe this is an overreaction, but Koekkoek has been the Oilers most consistent and arguably best d-man this season. At this point, I don't see a scenario where he isn't a regular in the lineup.</div></div>

Honestly, I haven't seen much of Koekkoek so I will take your word. Also, I agree with Kahun...thought about it too. I just thought with Puljujarvi being a little novice having someone a bit seasoned and that McD knows makes more sense.

Thread: not optimistic ngl

I disagree. There are too many players that will push each other and are motivated to prove themselves or rebound in the nhl. The only very significant loses are stetcher and tofolli and if Hamonic is signed then you can argue only Toffoli. Even then there is Hawyrluk, and Hoglander that make the team better. I think this is a tough division though.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BigShoots</b></div><div>Looks pretty accurate.

I completely agree. I think Baer deserves another shot, but likely not happening.

Ya. I missed Bear. Fixed that. Thanks. I think Ennis makes the team, but I think at some point Benson gets play and I see them sitting Ennis before they sit James.

Thread: Blockbuster

I get where you are valuing Cozens, but I think the ask for Laine is still more. But this team looks good. Sign Hoffman and a better backup and you are set.

Thread: Cup Contender

Wicked team. Defintely Semi-finals at least. The top six is elite and some Vancouver boys coming home, cool. 3rd line could be and would be amazing. I would even say Lind shares time with Justin Bailey or takes his spot. Or Hawryluk could play centre on the 4th....ooohhh. Or maybe even Michaelis on 4th line Centre spot.

Defense though...Schmidt plays RD. The Canucks have a strong prospect pool on the LD. Save your money on Larsson and resign Edler for the same or less. Then give Rathbone and Joulevi a strong chance at second LD with Brisebois in the mix. If anyone on the RD gets injured then Chatfield gets called up. .....Another other option is Bring in Tryamkin instead of Edler an save a 1mill.

If Holtby goes then you will need a grizzled Vet. for cheap that can share duties...like...Bernier, Dubnyk, Rinne or even Hutton.

Thread: Lineups for This Season for All Teams - Edmonton

I think given the potnetial of the lineup Drias line rides the 1st. McD is better supported with weaker wingers on the 2nd (imagine any 2nd line of other teams facing up against McD...byebye). Likely to see more call-ups in the defense, until Klefbom comes back (if he does before season ends).

RNH - Drais - Yama
Kahun - Mc D - Kassian /Poolparty
Ennis - Turris - PoolParty /Kassian
Neal - Kharia - Chaisson / Archibald
--(call-ups) = Benson, Nygard

Nurse - Bear
Jones - Barrie
Russell - Larsson
-- (call-ups) = Lagesson, Bouchard

Minus the oiler/flames condition. I would do this:

Hall - Point - W. Nylander
DeBrusk - Dach - Gallagher
Jost - Steel - A. Nylander
Ennis - Beagle - Sceviour

Morrisey - Makar
Soucy - Parayko
Kulak - Spurgeon

Thread: With rossi your thoughts

I think the Wild are missing a first line centre. The 4th line looks awesome. The d-core looks great. Goaltending has potential to be really good, but also a big risk. To me it feels like Strum should be in the lineup on opening night somewhere. And is a 2nd / 3rd line whatever...at best. Maybe this...

Parise - Bonino - Fiala
Zucarello - Erikson Ek - Johansson
Greenway - Rossi - Krill
Foligno - Strum - Bjugstad
Hartman

Thread: The Fixer for Jimbos Mess

Dude. I like it.

I think if you are adding Virtanen as a piece you should be looking to move Eriksson. Add something else to the deal. I like the Hainsey signing, but better to get someone that can share with Jordie Benn on the RD, unless you think that Rathbone or Brisebois can come in. I dont think you need to sign Bourque either, Lind looks like he needs a taste of NHL.

If Marky doesnt stay in Vancouver he gets his pick and it wouldn't be Ottawa, it would be somewhere he thinks he can win a cup, just like Hall.
