Rumor: Rumors & Proposals: This is fine

God. Dammit. The one time I was too lazy to double check... touche guys. Touche.

welcome to the NFL of hfboards

Hmmmmm....let's get creative.

Assuming the value for Yak sucks, and that we need to deal RNH to get a D....

Lucic-Draisaitl-Versteeg
Pouliot-McDavid-Eberle
Yakupov-E.Staal-Puljujarvi
Maroon-Hendricks-Kassian
Letestu/Pak

How is this forward core guys?

 

[McVirginOil]

I legitimately can't tell if this is a mistake, a typo, or more mocking of me lol.

Not mocking, just playing along with defencemen are secretly great centers lol

How much are you expecting to get Versteeg and Staal for? I don't mind it but I feel like Staal is never signing with us for cheap.

 

[Hopelesslucicfan]

Lebrun says lucic has narrowed it to 2 teams and decision will come when fa opens

Versteeg's probably going to be around 2.8M per.

There is a lot of talk about Staal being undervalued on the market and that it's damaging his pride a bit. I wonder if he can come in as cheap as 4.5M per.

I guess it depends on if we're moving out say, Fayne and what we do on the D side of things.

Versteeg or Stempniak add legit veteran depth.

 

[McVirginOil]

Now I'm scared.

 

[Soli]

Ha ha, good one Looch, hit them Dallas Stars where it really hurts, their hopes and dreams.

Ha ha, right?... Milan?

Ahaha fair. We should just convert Nurse to centre. With his speed and physicality, he'll fill that 3C spot perfectly!

 

[JJTopper]

Pierre Lebrun (on TSN just now) says Lucic has cut his choices down to 2 teams and will decide tomorrow once he hears the official offers. Lebrun doesn't know which two.

This definitely isn't a sure bet boys.

Maybe all the "Lucic + Larsson >>> Hall" people got a little ahead of themselves?

 

[Soundwave]

Now I'm scared.

It's really stupid that Chiarelli did not wait until July 2 at least to make the Hall deal.

 

[Crabapple]

We're gonna get ****ed tomorrow I just know it.

 

[Bum]

Maybe i'm reading too much into it but when Chia was on fan590 earlier he sounded slightly defeated/frustrated.

 

[joestevens29]

Seems to be a lot of people that will say we are ****ed either way.

 

[FiveFourteenSixOne]

Now I'm scared.

ditto.

Starting the season with a gaping hole on LW isn't ideal. We lost a **** ton of goals and assists with the Hall trade, and if we don't recoup a good portion of them with a Lucic signing, I am legitimately worried.

 

[McOilbleeder]

Scary thought, Pouliot could be our top LWer by the end of tomorrow..

 

[Soli]

TSN 1040 Vancouver dude.

 

[AddyTheWrath]

Don't do this....

 

[IAGTTAYM]

This definitely isn't a sure bet boys.

I want Lucic, but I won't be that disappointed if he goes elsewhere. 7 years at 6-6.5M is a pretty scary contract that could easily backfire.

 

[lakai17]

Montreal, Dallas and Detroit also high on Lucic. I will not be surprised if one of those teams sign him, lesser on Dallas but you never know.

Okposo and Eriksson are highly sought after and the dollar will be a factor where they are at today.

The #Canucks were told this morning by Milan Lucic's camp that they are no longer being considered. He's not coming home #NHLFreeagency

Super Not Surprising.

None of us should be surprised after the last 10 years though.
