Thread: Vancouver 2020
why is everyone in a hurry to sign Barrie. why not resign Tanev for less aav and a shorter term . that will help the cap situation and keep Tanev and Hughes together. Barrie is only productive when he is getting first PP duty and he isn't going to get that over Hughes. Why trade Pearson when he is a great fit with Horvat. Better off keeping Pearson resigning Tanev(2-3 year deal tops) trading Stecher(maybe with Sven to montreal) and forgetting about Barrie. even if they lose Leivo and a couple others they have some young guys to bring up. as for Markstrom cant see them going that aav and term with the RFA's they have coming due soon. if they lose him there are lots of veteran goalies that are ufa's they could sign to share the crease with Demko . no need to over commit to Markstrom and make that cap situation like Toronto's

why would the Canucks trade Virtanen who plays with grit and has speed for a player that isn't having nearly as good a season and then pay that player more money? and I agree why does Vancouver trade their goalie of the future just to maybe clear up some cap space. also why buyout Beagle he is the perfect 4th line centre plays hard wins draws at a high rate. can nobody else see that every time Beagle(and sutter) get injured that Horvats play drops off as he has to take every defensive zone faceoff and doesn't get to start in the offensive zone as much? Benning has no reason to make any of these trades. he has contracts coming off the books just in time to resign EP and QH
not to mention they have some young guys that should be ready to take the spot of some of the expiring contracts(hoglander.poldkozin)
make the playoffs this year and then make small adds with low cost as they continue to add young guys to the roster. no need to make drastic changes and ruin the progress they have

Thread: Tdl playoffs
to be clear I wouldn't want Nylander and neither should the Canucks. so what if Points contract is a bridge deal the leafs still overpaid for Nylander . Tampa got a significantly better player signed for less. Point had 2 less points than Marner yet Toronto is paying Marner 4m a year more(not to mention Austin is getting 5m more) can you say that Marner(or Matthews) is a 4+m a year better player(for 2 points) come on admit it Dubas hands out dollar and term like its monopoly money.

as for the sample size Vancouver had a better pk% than Toronto last year and that was with both Beagel and Sutter injured for large portions of the season who did Toronto pick up to improve their pk. with those healthy players and the improved D they may drop but they are set up to be much better than the leafs this year.

all teams have a few questionable contracts at least the canucks don't have 4 players eating 50% of the cap for the next 5 years.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TML1991</b></div><div>i mean all dubas has to do is not spend 20+MM on 3rd/4th liners like Vancouver and he's fine.</div></div>

you mean the 3/4th liners that are helping the Canucks to a top 4 PK unit. that actually can win a puck battle and protect a lead. the horror that they invested in that type of thing. no I guess instead its better to invest 50% of the cap on 4 players so that your probably going to have to play with less than 20 skaters because of the cap and injuries. not to mention what do they do once McDermott and Hyman come off the LTIR who do they get rid of? I wonder how many of the 3/4 liners from the Canucks Babcock would like to have (pretty sure Sutter and Beagel would quickly become his favourites) plus none of them are signed for more than 3 years.
Canucks are the right path and yes LOUI's contract sucks . but that is 1 bad contract Dubas got taken to the cleaners the last 2 offseasons. he is paying Nylander more than tampa is paying for Point who only had 2 less points than Marner who he is paying more than Kucherov who had 34 points more than Marner.
it ok I'm sure some of the cap issues for the leafs will be sorted once Matthews is traded to Arizona for some D and some extras
