Aww, that's some BS.

Maybe the Canucks will stream it on their YouTube channel? Or, maybe a Seattle stream or broadcast can be found?

No, it isn't Joe.

Neither is the return match vs Seattle next week in Abby.

thank you.

So disappointing when you think a game is on, ...and it's actually tomorrow.

But it's back-to-back, so a 2nd day to make up for it!

It's on SN 360 tomorrow at 6 Joe.

I don't think the Thursday game is televised.

Literally men vs boys. Of course they are going to get man handled. 

On what planet does Colorado even remotely consider that @canucks curse

martin woo myers= raymond ballard and a first?

Empties chiming Martin will be traded by Monday. Not sure it’s the Avs. 

they will have over 33 million if cap does not go up, they should be fine, not to mention they might still trade garland or Boeser 

Myers $3 Million for 3 years.

Hi, Joe. I really don't know why CDC was shuttered, but the new forum will be better because it won't be run by the team/NHL. I don't think ownership/management has really thought this through. If they want to control what fans are saying, well, that won't work. And if the new forum needs money to keep going, I will gladly chip in.

Hope all is well with you and that you had a great summer. Now it's back to hockey and I can't wait.

Beauvillier, Garland, and Myers. About 15M. 6M to Petey/Hronek. + cap increase by 3-4M.

next summer I think is when this team will be competitive with the amount of cap we’ll be able to work with. Assuming they can find a suitor for Garland.

Garland and Myers are the two Benning stains that are left. That’s the two JR is referring to. Please let those two stains be washed out! 
 

After watching the presser. I'm getting the feeling they know damn well no one has cap room. They did the moves to become cap compliant. Sounds like they are waiting for the trade deadline, or just expiring contracts to correct the situation.

Interesting. I wonder if we risk losing Woo or Wolanin if we send them down then. That one detail might give Wolanin a big edge in winning the NHL job.

I can't imagine Woo would clear waivers. I don't want to lose him for nothing. I realize every team has guys like this but with RHD being a premium spot I can't see the bottom feeders passing on him. 

but what if we could sign bear to a multi year deal at 1.9M 2 or 3 years... basically our myers replacement next year... and if thats true we might lose one of these players to waivers signing bear doesnt change much as we could still have 8 defenceman and will still be at risk losing one of them anyways... we could always send down irwin if it was really important to management... basically trading irwin for bear

Or hope that Höglander/Podkolzin graduates into that role effectively and quickly.

It's been resurrected.

Mikheyev, though we have only see him play at around 60% potential

Nils “Snoop Hogg” Hoglander 

Dakota Joshua. He really impressed me last season.

Your credit rating's pretty darn good around here!

@smithers joe to your point about EP and AK needing someone who plays tough, the first guy that comes to mind that would probably be on their wavelength would be Podkolzin, but since he's waivers exempt and we have a logjam at forward, there's a good chance he'll start the season in Abby.  The other guy that I think might be tentatively slotted in for that role would be Dakota Joshua.

As for a defensive-minded forward for BB and JTM, Mikheyev would seem to be the obvious choice, though if he's assigned by Dick Tocch to a more fitting role elsewhere, then the team may need another player to redefine their game and play that defensive role.  Höglander would probably have to be the one to redefine their game, given he's on the bubble.

Hopefully Podkolzin or Hoglander can reach that next level and be that viable option you’re looking for. Bains or Klim could surprise us too. 

it may take another year or two, to get the right mix of players here. hard to play against.

Detroit was playing tonight???

Strong finish but it's a bit troubling that they had such difficulty in putting away a 3-9 calibre team.

they reminded me of tagge and the cartiac kids

i feel like such a rookie. thanks AJ  my father in law would call me a dim bulb.

bring on the season.

Welcome Back Joe.

It's not Semi-CDC without you.

Great to have you aboard.

Always like your posts and discussion starting questions Joe. Glad you're here !
