Even when a Team is eliminated I always cheer for the Host Team to compete & win for the paying fans in attendance.

Huggy for 70 and JT for 100 is all that's left to cheer for. 2 guys that carried the team all year, while others needed different linemates, coaches, brass or ice time, they just got it done regardless.
Well, im a jinx master, you dont have to thankHello, OEL fan, he just scored.
Why would we not keep Luke. He's signed to another year and at less than 1 mil. He's proven he can play 5 on 5 minutes with Hughes. Even if we trade for another top 4 RSD then Luke would work with Dermott or Rathbone.How do you not keep Luke Schenn
If we could seperate OEL from his contract he'd be considered having a very good year. But at 7.2 on the cap it's not enough.I can’t recall the specific numbers, but OEL was scoring at a 40+ point pace in the second half of the season after a very slow start offensively.
EDIT: If he manages to get 1 more point, he will join Hughes and Edler as the only Canuck defenders to record more than 30 points in a season since 2015, if I’m recalling that nugget right.

The problem is that it’s not 2001 and you have to judge shit relative to contracts if you want to win.Fair assessment, I agree. He played a lot of important minutes for us, and if we move him we'd have a big hole to fill through other means. But his contract is very problematic.
OEL + Garland = 80 points and playing important roles on the team. Not a bad trade for spare parts and Dylan Guenther.
My Gawd that Kraken team is 'bad'. Canucks basically won handily with a lineup sprinkled with AHL players.
But I guess you have to start from somewhere. Beniers looks like a keeper; and the Kraken have stocked up with draft picks at the TDL. And there could be some interest in one of their goalies this off-season.
Unlike Vegas though, slow and steady growth is about all the Kraken fans can hope for.....a pretty typical expansion team, really.

If the team had not made the trade they would now have $12M to acquire a legitimate top pairing, younger, D man, a forward at least as capable as Garland, have Guenther, and a second round pick this year. And for the cherry on top, the cap % that they are paying OEL is a huge contributor to the fact that they need to move more salary out this summer. By August you might have to add losing Boeser to those trade consequences.OEL + Garland = 80 points and playing important roles on the team. Not a bad trade for spare parts and Dylan Guenther.
