* Lines by mid-may. So Pod could join the team for a playoff run!

Agree with all of it except for having Rathbone and Dipietro on the taxi squad. Would rather seem them playing games and developing in utica

Thread: Who says no

Ottawa does. They arent under any pressure to move out money, thus surrendering a 2nd round pick just to trade a bad contract doesnt make sense for them. They would be better served burying him if needed for now like MTL did with alzner then possibly buy him out 2 or 3 years down the line without needing to take a bad asset back.

Thread: Taxi squad roll out

I have a feeling Louie and Sven will be on the taxi squad. Saves cap. Rathbone needs to play games so dont think he makes it this year. Cant see him beating out all the other leftys. I dont get what they are doing with goalies, doesnt seem like have dipietro on the taxi would be beneficial to his development either.

Thread: Vancouver Canucks signed Jalen Chatfield (1 Year / $700,000 AAV)

Not sure youre aware of Tanevs history, went undrafted and was a college UFA.

I think on the spectrum of Chatfields potential his absolute ceiling is what Tanev is able to bring to the table, yes. Decent puck mover, positionally sound and a good shot blocker. Their games are very similar.

Thread: VAN 2020-21

Interesting and original, I like it. Kane checks boxes the Canucks need right now, top 6 forward and toughness.

The move does create some challenges for next offseason, but if they bridge Petey and Hughes this could certainly work.

Thread: No Hockey In Winter Is The WORST

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>Haha but Ottawa would be the worst team in the All Canadian Division. Where as in the Atlantic they have a much better shot</div></div>

Is there really that much of a difference though? I mean just taking a look at it:

Montreal Toronto - Doesnt change

Tampa, Boston, Florida are good teams.
Van, Calgary, Edmonton are good teams too but probably arent as high end as Boston-Tampa is.

Buffalo got better and isnt much worse than Winnipeg right now.

Id say its close to a wash because Tampa is the best team of the bunch and theyre out, but Buffalo is the worst and theyre out.

I think its worse for the Pacific teams. Ducks, Kings, Sharks, Coyotes out, Jets, Leafs Habs, Ottawa in is a much worse tradeoff.

Thread: VAN 2020-21

Why make these trades? IMO they dont make sense. Burying Benn saves more money and a draft pick, plus I dont think Macdermid is really an upgrade over Rafferty or Chatfield.

We dont need to pay that pick to move Sven in this scenario either. Just bury him and Hawryluk and run a 22man roster.

Gives us more depth and saves draft picks.

Thread: This is still a good team and contender

Its going to come down to two things IMO how this season goes:
1. Can they get a similar level of goaltending they got last year
2. Can they get a player or two out of their 4 young Dmen

People tend to bash this teams forward group a lot, but theyre the most underrated element of this team and is deeper than they are given credit for. With Baertschi/ Lind in the AHL, and the addition of Podkolzin or Hoglander later in the season they should be able to survive injuries up front. Im not as confident about the blueline though, imagine this team without 2 of their top 4 dmen? Might be rough.

Thread: Ferland to LTIR buys Jimmy some space

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nighthawk</b></div><div>You’ve done 3 ACGM’s today with Gauthier in it.
Why this fixation? Just curious. I see no need to add bottom 6 F’s of any kind.</div></div>

I could see Jim wanting to add one more depth centerman but only to play in the AHL to be needed in case of injuries.

Also think if Ferland goes LTIR to start the year hes done for his career. May as well add a depth dman to fill that cap space as LTIR relief cannot be used for elc bonuses.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sedin33</b></div><div>I would move Pettersson to the wing with MacKinnon. Maybe take out Virtanen and use the cap to upgrade goal?</div></div>

Agree with the Virtanen play. Ill make that change. Kept the two top lines together for chemistry but I do agree that Petey could play there, I like his game at center.

Made a change but Im not sure if it really makes that much of a difference. Holtby doesnt fit unless I run a 22 man roster.

Thread: Idk jus saw article bout nj weaponizing cap

My name is Louie, and my 15 team no trade list likely says no to this message. Maybe if the Devils include some Swedish Berries and meatballs?

I think its fair value if Louie and Subbans cap hits are equal. NJ retains 3M not 4.5M. Canucks add for more retention.

For some reason I thought he was loaned.. Someone else spread me some misinformation. Might have been a Republican.. lol

Thread: Pay whatever it takes to get rid of Eriksson

I think theres huge challenges to trading Louie and they wont be able to pull it off. His contract is an absolute disaster..

#1. He has a 15 team no trade list and I think he is holding the Canucks hostage with it.. Pick the only 15 teams with space to take him and the Canucks are screwed.

#2 This forces the Canucks to find a trading partner where they can trade a 1st with Louie but also be forced to take equal salary back with a 1 year term.

Because of these two things I believe the only option for the Canucks will be to pay Seattle to take him.. Which may cost the team a lot and come back to bite the Canucks in the ass.

I have my money on him being bought out after this season.
