  1. Dude can set his family up for generations if he's smart, it's not as if he's made a ton of money at the NHL level. Lot of folks here would do the same if possible, to question his character if he chooses to do so is a baffling thing to do. Absolutely, go get the money Joshua. I'll happily watch someone overpay you.
  2. I think Detroit's the best bet, didn't Pittsburgh just extend Jarry last offseason? Although I suppose he could also be moved https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsburgh-penguins/latest-news/pittsburgh-penguins-place-tristan-jarry-trade-block
  3. You call it embellishment, the NHL calls it parity
  4. Both are interesting names, definitely. Domi's roughly six feet and 210 pounds if I'm not mistaken, he's also feisty like his dad was. 118 PIMS this past season, 76 the season before. I could see him working with the Miller or Pettersson lines as a bit of a shit disturbing playmaker. Both Miller and Brock like to shoot, it could work out well. If Pettersson plays as more of a shoot first center it could also work out. I'm not really interested in Bertuzzi though, I just don't really care for him despite his player archetype.
  5. I get that, but I reckon the odds of it not happening are greater than the odds of it actually happening. If he's a UFA come July 1st he's going to be getting a lot of calls from various teams, and there's only one of him. If we get him on a reasonable contract, fantastic, but if I were a betting man I'd say the Canucks end up doing something else up front.
  6. One guy who could be interesting is Domi, I just assumed the Leafs would find a way to keep him but that might not be the case, he's much more of a puck distributor than a goal scorer though
  7. I saw that, I don't think it's the actual engraving though, the names usually look rougher on the cup
  8. It doesn't have to be Skinner, you're missing the point. It's a common theme around here, folks gushing about how Pettersson needs an elite tier running mate, I don't agree with that. And improvement on Mikheyev doesn't need to be a Guentzel tier talent for example. The biggest thing is finding players who mesh with what the Canucks want from that line. Pettersson is the elite talent on that line, he will more than likely be the best talent on that line, he's going to need to bring out more from the players around him like other top end guys. Whether those players are first or second liners, that remains to be seen, but I think Pettersson would do just fine with a couple legitimate second liners. Sure, but what the means could be a lot of different things.
  9. Neither did Babcock, he got it all as a coach Idk why the capacity matters, getting all three at all is incredibly tough to do
  10. For all the talk of Pettersson needing a running mate, he's now the guy who is paid to stir the drink Yeah, getting him talent should be a target, but I'm not convinced it needs to be elite talent
  11. Same. Shouldn't it technically make him triple gold if he gets his name on it, which I'm assuming he will?
  12. I think that's something the Canucks are going to have to consider whether that ends up being Skinner or not. Even the Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers, coached by Maurice, brought in a guy who's viewed as defensively weak in Tarasenko. Sometimes you've gotta reel in guys who bring offense, plain and simple. Some of folks talk about us needing Tochett style players, great coaches find a way to make things work with all sorts of players.
  13. Most fanbases want to believe they're a top destination, and as far as Canada goes we're definitely up there But I reckon most guys would rather play for upper tier American teams, and realistically we still have quite a bit to prove, yeah we bounced back and had an impressive playoff run but it was still one season Put together a few playoff seasons in a row and I think more players will be convinced
  14. They should have stuck with these, they slap so goddamn hard
  15. I really like their throwback purple Duck jerseys from last season, wish they'd have stuck with those Those aside, these look better than the jerseys they've worn in recent years
