  1. 1. There is one more trade on the immediate horizon, this is what PA / JR will do in January getting a jump on the TDL

    • Fire the Angry Elf out of a cannon to clear cap space - (Author: my thought / not yours necessarily is Podz will be given a chance to bash and crash)
      2
    • Are you high, Elf stays, now Kuzy will be showcased and will become a human cannon ball in January ... gotta give up to step up
      6
    • Nothing, January will be for seeing if the club trajectory stays the course.
      58
    • Sadly, with Carson Soucy coming back in a few weeks the cap casualty will be Ian Cole given others have really come into their own on D - (Author: this is a pipe dream I know)
      5
    • None of the above, wow the egg nogg is really hitting you hard ... see my thoughts on the next 4 weeks in comments below.

    • Yes, exciting but I don't want to watch a Canucks game while you give me a check so I am out. Note: First time to make voters public for obvious reason.

Considering the number of games between Vancouver, LA and LV still to come not surprised they put Colorado up higher.  
Whoever wins the Pacific, assuming they win the west has it relatively easy in the first round, the other series between 2-3 in the Pacific is killer and the second round series in the Pacific will result in 2 of the top 3 teams in the NHL currently go out.  I can see them favouring a proven winner like the Avs over the Pacific death March to come. 
Edmonton is egregious, I still doubt they make the playoffs.

Other than that I think it is fair, we have shown nothing for a decade and have been hot this year so far but I wouldn’t put us at very high odds because most likely scenario is we need to go through LA and LV to even get to the WC finals and then find enough to beat one of Dallas/Avs/Winnipeg. That is tough row to ho.

Question for those much more knowledgeable than myself.

 

A player on an entry level contract fulfills his duty and is then an RFA (team controlled) - well understood.

 

On the next contract, does the team have to "qualify" said player? Could the said player refuse any offer and insist on a qualifying transaction contract for 1-year thus walking into UFA after the end? Does the afore-mentioned player have any leverage in forcing a 1-year-then-UFA contract ... *cough* *cough* Bedard?

 

I do understand that superstars, assuming someone like Bedard emerges from his ELC as one, has huge leverage in whatever direction they chose to go, I am just asking on the mechanics of the contract leverage and who holds the hammer along the way.

People smarter than me will correct but I think players are RFA after drafted until 25 years old, or 7 years in the league. So We’ll get Bedard just before his prime 🤩

Lay off the polls OP, that's enough for now 

 

Thank you for your feedback, however, I note the following:

 

"51 (and counting) prosthodontists out of 54 appreciate a good poll"

 

Click here for definition if needed

 

As I aim to please when I can, will take your note under advisement and also ask you to please go to the GDT thread and sign up for a game. Invite your friends to do the same. I for one, along with everyone here (pretty sure anyway), would appreciate a wide variety of GDT interpretations - we all have different tastes.

 

Not kidding, I would really like to see your GDT in the future and cheers/like/elephant/etc. whatever you produce as we are all part of the same community - CANUCK FANS.

Yes the team qualifies or releases.   They can sign the QO should they choose.  Unless they are a much older rookie that wouldn’t lead them to UFA. 
Eventually they earn arbitration rites as does the team, but that isn’t after the rookie contract, not sure exactly all the qualifications for arbitration rites. 
In theory they could use arbitration to take them up to a UFA year but some math needs to go into that.

I'm a bit of a Canada homer, so I note that Philly has 8 Canadian born players, while we have only 1 in Myers. It used to be that Canadian toughness dictated the playoffs, but I'm not so sure that's still the case. Looking at the current crop of World Junior players, there's a lot of good young Canadians coming up. It will be interesting to see how they do against D Petey, Willander, Lekkerimaki and the rest of the Swedes.

 

I'm betting on our Canucks international team tonight. Revenge time.

Myers isn't Canadian born (Austin, Texas) but he grew up in Canada and is Canadian. Noah Juulson is Canadian born though, local guy from Abbotsford

First GO CANUCKS GO!!!!!

 

Canucks have the much loved Giraffe, Pizza Man, Souced-out-of-his-mind-24/7, Fried Green Tomatoes, Donkey as resident Canadians with a number in Abby.

 

While I wouldn't call us a "send us to the Spengler to represent Canada" squad, we have Canadians both on team and below. 

 

Proud Canadian first then Ukranian/Russian (I stand with Ukraine) second, I would cheer on my Canucks if 100% of them were a mix of Latvians, Italians and Arcturians (if you know, you know) players. GO CANUCKS GO

Bring back the green men to fight Gritty!

 

Hopefully the fans cheer Tortasmella as much as they did when Luongo mentioned him.

 

I like story #2

 

Go Canucks go!

 

I got a "Hughes" jersey for Christmas, and a canucks Haida Gwaii styled logo hoodie, and a candle that says "smells like a Canucks win".

 

I'm all set.

 

Go Nucks Gooooo!
