Thread: Le Retool
Here is my issue. I get the frustration, but the team needs to stop putting on Band-Aids. You don't buy Dermott for a third and sell 18 games later for a fourth.
Canucks traded a third for Dickenson and one year later traded a second with him for a scrub to save 1.3 mil. Dickenson has as many goals and assists in 4 games as our entire fourth line has in 7 games.

I would suggest riding out the year with the D of Stillman Burroughs Schenn Juulsen Brisebois and happily accepting that top three draft pick next year who would definitely help the team down the road. I would also sell off assets like Boeser Horvat and draft your best RHD . Canucks should have no less than three first round picks next year.

This is a fragile team. If it was just a short span of bad luck sure ride it out but this is year after year so it is time to tear down and rebuild in my opinion. The next two to three years Canucks should be collecting draft picks.

Thread: Theodore
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>kingkanuck</b></div><div>The "Golden" Knights are the ones that signed Eichel $10M, Stone $9.5M and Pietrangelo $8M to NMC contracts. Then they surrounded them with 4 players earning $5M or better with M-NTC clauses. That is almost $49M in 7 nearly unmovable contracts.
They are $10.2M over the cap with only 21 of 23 possible roster players signed. It seems obvious that they have to move someone. If they move Theodore they will still be $5m over the cap with another move necessary.
Hoglander and Rathbone project to be more than just NHL journeymen. Burroughs can be a depth Dman who can play either side. DiPietro may have some upside and Vegas' goalie situation looks a little suspect. What they get from a 2nd and 2 - 3rd round picks depends entirely on how well they draft.
Yes, Theodore is a quality Dman but what is his actual value? Is he worth more than 3 - 2nds and 3 - 3rds and a utility player?</div></div>

Well reading the comments of the VGK posters thus far they seem not too happy with the offer.
