WHL rocks Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 WoW !!!! OK deal, I would have preferred under $7 but this is a good player and he'll be here thru his prime. In a year or two with cap going up this will look like a great deal.. Good on both parties to get it done.. Now let's get Zad done. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 (edited) 56 minutes ago, tas said: honestly, a lot of my own internal cap gymnastics I've been doing this offseason have revolved around moving petey and signing lindholm. the problem is it's only a $3m or so cap savings, which I'm not sure is enough to make the difference necessary in adding assets elsewhere. $3.6 to $4..6 million difference. Lindholm would sign for 7 to 7.5 mill if he was promised 1C or 2C playing with Tkachuk. Max 8 mill but I don't think it'll get that high.. That extra 4+ mill we could put it towards Guentzel.. Tkachuk Lindholm Guentzel line would be off the charts... Edited June 19 by WHL rocks 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have an issue with hard questions at all. I think there does need to be more balance in the media with harder questions to keep everyone accountable. Tocchet actually does a great job with this and welcomes those hard questions if they're coming from the right place and there's honesty in the question. I don't have a problem with JPat's question for Hronek at all. The problem is I believe it was coming from a more salacious, sensational, gotcha place rather than a place of honesty. That's just how it came off. So, you have a question that's honest and fair yet it seems to be coming from a dishonest place. That's the entire problem with the media. Although, I did notice that JPat did follow up on the question with Allvin yesterday and that was all completely fair and reasonable.

Agree with you there. They certainly did us a favor by saying Hronek wasn't going to sign for anything less than $8 mill and we couldn't afford him. It only made them being wrong even sweeter. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWMc1 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 At some point the players should all respond with the stock 110% one shift at a time type answers to the clowns who push negative narratives. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJCF96 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 21 hours ago, wai_lai416 said: Part of the reason I believe hronek doesn’t shoot much have to do with the Canucks coaching philosophy.. RT don’t want you to shoot unless you are sure it won’t get blocked hence all their players don’t even attempt to shoot. Especially as a defenceman if it gets blocked likely an odd man rush the other way. After the all star break the entire teams shot attempt went further down I would actually prefer Hronek to keep shooting the puck even if other teams are attempting to block them. Especially in the playoffs, each block could mean one of their key defensive players is going to get bruised and eventually it will wear them down.
