If they do trade Mik this make more sense if not I wouldn't have tied cap up with Blueger when Suter can play 3c and Aman can play 4 C

This makes the Blueger signing make more sense. I wouldn't have signed Blueger with the little cap space they have

Is anyone else surprised by this signing. I thought Suter might get the 3rd line role or give some one from Abby a shot. 1.8million seems like a lot if Suter can fill in. I'd rather money spent on top 6 wingers

Is anyone else worried that JR and PA may be to fiscally conservative? I go back and forth with this issue and this team. Big Z played a major role in the playoffs and the UFA market probably dictates he gets that 6*6 contract. So if he is willing to give a discount to be in Vancouver lets say a 6 year by 5.25 mill, I myself would give that in a heart beat. Even if that means the last 2 years we are not getting top value I would be ok with it. For me he showed and lead this team like he wanted to win. On the other hand The managements fiscal responsibility could be questioned when it comes to Lindholm. On this team he is a 3rd line centerman and showed during the regular season that he was not the right fit for EP40 and yet 7*7 is currently being tossed around for him. Makes no sense to me. Filip Hronek, will be the major determining factor in all of this. On the open market I could easily see him fetching 8*8. RHD with 50+ pts and has a decent defensive game. For me his comparable come done to 4 guys and 3 of the guys all have reason not to be very good comparable. Toews 7.25 million CH 50+ point guy but is 30 years old. Weegar 6.25 million CH signed at 29 years old but never had a 50+ point season until signing. Then there is Heiskanen 8.45 million CH but is 24 years old and signed that contract few years ago. That leaves us with Hronek's best comparable Hanifin 27 years of age 7.35 million CH and 47 pts this season LHD. Hronek will be 27 in Nov is a RHD and had 48 points. So the Question becomes do you like Hronek @ 7.35 million CH for 8 years. How about 7.5-7.75 million range because he is a right handed D and they do usually go for a premium all well remembering he played with Hughes a major point producer and never got past 38 points prior to playing with Hughes. I think there is a battle going on if they keep Hronek, Big Z is probably not getting signed that money will be allocated to getting EP40 a top forward to play with. If Big Z is signed I would bet there is a trade prior to or just after announced with Hronek being a major piece going out. I will say this we are all in for a big treat this is shaping up to be 1 of the most interesting off seasons in this teams history. Many could argue that this teams core is built by the former Jim and this off season is going to truly make this team the one that JR and PA built. My wish list slash 2024-25 roster EP40 (11.6) Necas (7.75) Toffoli (4.25) (give him 4 years that's probably 1 year more then other teams willing to go for less CH) Mikheyev (4.75) Miller (8.00) Boeser (6.65) Hoglander (1.10) Suter (1.6) Garland (4.95) Di Giuseppe (.775) Aman (.825) ___________( anyone with .800k salary) ____________ ( anyone with .800k salary) Hughes (7.85) Tanev (3.00) (give him 3 years and I think this will get it done) Zadorov (5.25)(home town discount) DeMelo (4.25) Probably going to have to go 4-5 years Soucy(3.250) Juulsen (.775) (Place holder until Willander is ready) Hirose (.800K) McWard (.800) ( I want him competing for that 3rd rights side D position) Demko 5.00 Silovs .800 Cap Hit $87,959,167 Cap remaining $40,833 Poolman on LTIR Hronek and Pods in a trade for Necas

The refs this games where retarded

I'm actually serious one of our players is going to get seriously injured. High sticks not called, Boarding penalty on EP40 and slough foot on Hughes someone is going to get seriously injured

The Refs are going to get Hughes seriously injured

Not just 1 more start he has earn the job period until Demko gets back

It is truly sad that this fan base can attack the players so quickly

You guys have short memories Cole has help stop a few goals

Cole has save more goals then any other Dman. Stop with the short memory or watch the games

Are you an Edm fan. Silovs was a great

I never blame the refs but tonight they where f*cking ret$rds. Call that penalty and the Canucks score and this game is over.

More then twice the points. EP40 is only going to get better Garland is who he is

Col and Edm play more open games I feel better For EP40's play when the game is more open. Dals Preds LA and Vegas play much harder defensive styles
