Thread: First Kovacevic Then Valimaki
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MikeyG420</b></div><div>Since you claimed Kovacevic, you move down on the list of the waiver order. So there’s a chance someone else claims Valimaki. If no one else claims him and Montreal submits one, then you’d get him</div></div>

Not true, we get first dibs no matter how many claims we make until November 1st. See link below

Edit*** Below is the key paragraph from the article

It’s also important to note that, if the Canadiens do, in fact, put in a claim on a player, they do not lose their priority to put a claim on another player moving forward. This is a rule that exists in fantasy sports leagues but is not decreed anywhere in the NHL’s collective bargaining agreement. The priority will be retained, despite making a previous claim, up until November 1.

Thread: Ethan bear and Horvat trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MikeyG420</b></div><div>It's very interesting because I would personally like Olausson in Vancouver. The only question is the "fit" given our roster construction. Keep in mind, Trader Jim &amp; Allvin haven't yet put their stamp on this roster via trade. They're being patient, my guess is due to them believing they could obtain a top 4 RD via trade - and maintain a semi-competitive window, rather than rebuild/retool (the owners would rather burn the arena down than allow another 2-8 years of mediocre hockey).

Horvat is the identity of our team. He bridges the past and the future together. He will most likely remain a Canuck. Aside from sentimental value, the guy can play defensive hockey &amp; also show flashes of excellence in the offensive zone. Horvat would command a lot on the trade market if an extension were negotiated in advance to the move (which is the only way Vancouver would consider moving him)</div></div>

Canucks ownership doesn't want mediocrity? How about tanking? Not saying the Canucks need to do that, just speaking hypothetically
