If we just re-signed Tanev and Toffoli 4 years ago, we would be in a much better position now. Fucking moron. Hey, he ran out time. Happens to the best of us.

HKSR Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 3 minutes ago, OldFaithfulcap said: Capfriendly has us already using most of poolman's ltir. Mik is 4.75 for full season, 1 mn left https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/canucks Def be nice to move mik Moving Mik frees up the cap hit. We don't need to prorate Mik's cap hit remaining if we move him. Even if we did, it's all the same as we would prorate any player we brought in too then. So $1,091,250 + $4,750,000 (Mik) = $5,841,250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 4 minutes ago, ngoway said: Oddly they have been better defensively. I think a part of that is their offense driving the play which is leading to a little less defensive pressure. They've never been a doubt offensively, but Bouchard, Ceci, Desharnais, Ekholm, Kulak, and Nurse as a defensive core doesn't instill much confidence in me especially for the playoffs. That's a fair take, but some would argue the best defense is a stout offense Guess we'll see, but it's hard to count a McDavid/Draisaitl led Oilers team out of any series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Termination has to be mutual I'm pretty sure, don't see why he'd walk away from next season's money for the opportunity to make less. They're probably just hoping some other team grabs him.

Hammertime Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 20 minutes ago, ngoway said: No shade against Henrique as he'll definitely improve them. The Oilers biggest issue has been defense and I would have spent their first to improve that over their forwards. As for Colorado, they just got more solid defensively with Walker and then even better offensively with Mittelstadt. Classically I would have agreed with you. They sit 8th in expected goals against which isn't bad. They have the 2nd fewest shots against behind Carolina, and 2nd fewest high danger shots against behind Seattle. Maybe the oilers are for real this year? Who am I kidding the oilers suck pucks and wont win anything with Mcbabywhiner and Dribaby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bure_Pavel Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Good trade for Buffalo, I feel like they sold high on Middlestadt and bought low on Byram. Will probably have one of the best D cores in the league in a few years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't sign someone after they clear waivers. His contract would have to be terminated with his permission... he isn't walking away from that money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As good as they are, playoff games are always so physical and tight on checking. They haven't been able to succeed fully in the playoffs yet, and I hope that continues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like they've been in the dark ages forever. I feel like they have the pieces to be contenders in a few years but it always seems to be one step fwd one back for Buff.

KFAN Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 2 hours ago, Honkin Hronek said: I did this last year on CDC and it ended up being about 100 pages long, so I figured I'd try it again this time around. Who do we walk away with on Friday? Guentzel? Duhaime? Giroux? Greenway? Discuss! Apparently, according to JR, Podkolzin's move to Abbotsford is just paper. Something about Abby getting ready for playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Face Doom Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 2 hours ago, ngoway said: Agreed. I'd rather Hoglander and Podkolzin both stay. I like Bains, but out of the three, if there's interest on him he's the one I'm most willing to move at the moment. Bains isn't netting us anything significant.

Would you sign them to long term contracts? It's easy to criticize, but maybe they could've been bad contracts? Then people will be quick to say Benning is a moron for signing those contracts.

The rest is fill in the blanks.. could be a list of 100 things... but not even getting around to making Toffoli an offer is in the top 10 for sure.
