Given what Calgary got for Taney, I don’t see us getting a first.

Patersson is not signed. I’m not giving up Suzuki for guy that is a RFA for 1 more yr before being a UFA, and you have to sign, and are unsure how much that would be. $10m, $11m, $12m, $13m? He wants to win now. Why would he sign with us? like the player, don’t see him wanting to be here to take that type of risk.

Unless MB takes at least one of his bad contracts of our hands - Gallagher, Armia or Anderson, I hope that SOB never gets another GM job again - ditto for Therrien!

I think I had picked Suzuki to get around 87 points - despite his dry spell, he may still be able to do that. It would be nice to have a hab close to 90 points and finally pass Kovolev’s point total from over 15 years ago!

Unless we get another that totally knocks our socks off - an offer we can’t refuse that doesn’t involve waking up next to a dead order head - I think we need to wait until next year. See what we have in the kids and if they can push Matheson down in the lineup. Savard on the other hand, I would move now. He’s a guy that will decline and will be susceptible to injury.

I don’t think Anderson is seeing as a bruising winger - mentally bruised and crushed winger sure. Bruising, not so much.the knuckleheads can do better than Anderson in pretty much any other similar player available. Anderson at 50% is still 100% of wasted cap space.

a team with Markov, as QB should have no issues scoring. The team had Pleks, the squid, Gionta, the two Kostitsyn brothers - and the count was on ragging Sergei from the first practice with the team. Maxpac wanted to stay in the minors rather than play in the plugging line when the count was the coach. Benoit chicken legs was also in the doghouse for the entire duration under the count. Basically, all of the young players we had were being held to a MUCH higher standard than the veteran - particularly the Gomez who was being paid $7m+ but couldn’t even put up 60 points. There were a LOT of better options then metro!

I don’t like him, because die some idiotic reason he was in the PP. good in the draw, but should be about the last choice for the PP!!!

Maybe that was his strategy to get out of Arizona!!😁😆

I think Pezzetta would bring more like a 6th/7th rounder back, but agree with you about Savard.

Pezzetta is simply not good enough to play on a good team. Doesn’t matter how hard he tries or how tough he is, he isn’t the answer to the Canucks needs. The Canucks could use a big tough Dman like Savard. But even than he wouldn’t be used like we are using him. He’d be the bottom pairing dman on the Canucks. Could the Canucks use more toughness? Absolutely. But they would be better served in getting a guy who can play hard on the top two lines. Someone like Horvat. Could the use more toughness on the third, 4th lines? Sure, but like I said, Pezzatta is not the answer - he is not a legit NHL player on a good team. He simply is not good enough of a hockey player. He’d have the same impact on the Canucks that Ryan Reeves is having on the Leafs. Zilch.

You seriously think Pezatta is the missing piece the Canucks need to win the cup??? Really?? Really?

What had Gignac done to you, that you want to punish him so badly!!

At the start of the year, I dint think it made sense to send Anderson down - we had to hope that he turned things around and increased his trade value. At this point I think we should send him down. At least at the start of the year, it looked like he was trying SOMETIMES, now it looks like he is just collecting his pay check, but isn’t even trying to earn it!

Probably and he’ll no!

There’s leafs fans I grew up with that felt Sittler got 10 points in a game so that proves he was the best player in the NHL, and that Palmateer was a much better goaltender than Dryden🙄

Why should he have to fight for that???

That’s fine. But it doesn’t mean you cross check in the face for doing it. Have an issue, next year try and beat them 10-0.

And Matthews scoring and waving his hands to fall fans is not disrespectful? I don’t have an issue with either, but this code stuff is bullshit! Would also have been disrespectful if he skated to the goal and let as much time pass as possible until the dman came over and than tapped it in? If Reilly has an issue, don’t be soft and let them score!

We need guys who can score. He had 15 last year and has 12 this year. We’ve hit some guys who look like they can be decent playmakers, but only one real sniper in Caufield and hopefully Slafkovsky can be another. If we are going to give up high picks and top prospects it needs to be for finishers.

You know Friedman in one of his broadcasts made a comment that Lamirello tends to hire coaches for their 2nd job, and has had success - we tend to hire too many rookie coaches. I don’t mind the MSL hire - given our current situation, but next time I’d like to hire someone who’s already learned from their mistakes than continue to be a training ground for coaches.

Agreed. It would be a huge regret if Roy outscores him in two years. I certainly wouldn’t want to take that risk.

Oh, ok, gotcha. I’m not sure I’d want to move a first pick and a prospect for a 25 year old who may be nothing more than a Joel Armia type of guy.

Not sure why we are in a hurry to throw around first round picks+ for a guy who MAY score 20 goals this year, but hasn’t scored more than 15 yet. I certainly wouldn’t move one our top forward prospects like Roy or a first round pick for him. Form our D prospects, the only guys I’d be willing to move is Harris.

Do you mean the Sabres? I wouldn’t want to include Roy in the deal. Hasn’t scored 10 goals yet and is from the Andersson draft. I’d rather see if Andersson can play. If it’s just Harris - Sure. If Sabres want more size and grit in addition to Harris, I’d be happy to throw in Josh Anderson😁
