zegermans posted:so why'd the Knights grab Fleury instead of Mrazek Aside from a deal being made months ago, Marc-Andre Fleury is genuinely the kind of personality you can market a team around. He was already doing youth hockey courses the night after the Expansion Draft and I've never seen any player have anything bad to say about him.

I feel like if there's any place Yak is going to get an opportunity, it's Vegas. Especially with how many defensemen they took over Forwards. Also my hot take is that Hayley Wickenheiser deserves to have the waiting period for her induction into the HHoF waived. To women's hockey she's easily on the same level as players like Howe and Lemieux.

the talent deficit posted:sbisa is bad but he's an nhl player still. canucks fans hatred of him is mostly due to him being the 'prize' return in the kesler trade He's a sub-average third pairing defenseman who's making far too much money. Until like, a week ago we all thought Bonino was the prize return from that trade.

Drunk Canuck posted:This deal is good because it ends around when the core has to sign their bridge deals. Nylander, Matthews, and Marner are all RFAs before Marleau's contract is up. Of course, because the CBA is loving busted at the moment, they'll just put Marleau on LTIR for the last year by saying he has Boneitis or some poo poo.

6 million+ with a full NMC for a man who will be 38 years old at the start of the season and has failed to score 50 points in the past two seasons is not a good contract.

JawKnee posted:surprising that Vanek, Pirri, and Chisasson haven't been grabbed up yet. Asking for too much maybe? To be honest whenever "why hasn't x been signed" comes up I just assume any sort of leverage they have has been drained and they're either going to either sign for way less than they're worth or we'll hear one of them has signed a PTO for Carolina or Vegas or something come September.

FBS posted:We're two days away from starting August, The Worst Month, and I'm on the Gamecenter archives trying to cure my withdrawal. Literally the only good night in the entire Canucks season last year was the night Mattias Ohlund got inducted into the Canucks Ring of Honor on December 16th. They were against the Lightning and the crowd was super into it and chanting like crazy. Every other home game the arena was extremely dead because nobody cared, but that night was fun.

ThinkTank posted:I remember waking up at 5am for the most boring championship game in the history of any sport ever. I fell asleep playing Final Fantasy XIV while the game was going on in the background, it was so boring. In contrast with the women's final, where OT started right as my high school's lunch period started and people were crowding around any TVs they could to watch.

Edmonton have to sign Darnell Nurse and a McDavid boosted Ryan Strome after this season, and the season after that, Puljujarvi and Talbot need new contracts. They currently have 8.3m in cap space and that's without McDavid's 12.5m contract. That Lucic contract looks worse and worse.

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is kinda left as the odd man out if and when they need to clear cap space so please look forward to David Staples' hit-piece article coming next summer

I think for the Pre-Season this time around we should just have one GDT for the entire pre-season. Mainly because seeing 10+ GDTs all with less than 10 posts is kinda sad.

Hand Knit posted:Which playoff series did actually break teams? The 2011 SCF seems like the obvious first choice, but what else? Maybe Leafs-Bruins 2013 but I don't know if the 2013 Leafs counted as not-broken to begin with. I'd say 2012 where the Canucks won the President's Trophy again and got swept in the first round is what broke them, not 2011. At least, that's what broke me.

Canucks prospect who I was very excited to watch this weekend Jonathan Dahlen has mono. That's terrible for him, but it's also going to be very funny for people who aren't really paying attention and read that as Rasmus Dahlin having mono.
