He might be the same height as an actual penguin too

I literally burst out laughing in class thanks for that

@VanillaCoke

What do you think the figure would be on a 6-7 year deal?

It won't be 7.5, sure, but i also don't think it will be significantly far off either.

It'll be in the 6s


All the rambling about his QO has been way overstated.

 

[sting101]

Yes i'm with @Breakers i just dont get the fascination with Marino directly for one of our stud scorers.

Would have to involve Hamonic if so and Kapanen...i dont think Pen fans would be happy about that trade off but at least then it would make sense for us.

For Pitt they probably want to get rid of Zucker and that 5.5 million for next year. I'm not touching that without them taking Dickinson or Poolman

 

[Fatass]

Big losses coming up over the next seven? Is that what it will take for our owner to allow the much needed trades to happen?

Why do you say this?

Why do you say this?

Because its most likely
Despite all the rabble rabble around here lately..

Likely is really subjective.
There is, for instance, a parasite that crawls in through a fish's gills, eats the fish's tongue, and then replaces its tongue. That, I would say, is pretty dang unlikely.
So compared with that, Boeser taking only 6 million or so on his next contract feels pretty likely.

 

[Canucker]

So depressing that we’re potentially dealing with a team with one of the worst prospect bases, that was curated by our current management team.

 

[Delocatedfan]

What do we think of this deal:

Boeser, Hamonic to Pittsburgh

Marino + 1st + Kapanen / expiring cap dump

Canucks get cap flexibility & move Hamonic out. They add a young RHD on a decent contract & add an additional draft pick.

Pittsburgh gets the best player in the deal with Boeser who fits in nicely in their top 6 but needs to be re-signed and a serviceable top 4 dman in Hamonic

Not really...they won two cups and continuously contend by trading futures...of course they will have a weak prospect pool.

I’m all for Rumours, but I’m actually starting to get sick of it! At first it seems like they were holding everything in internally, now everyone is going everywhere. Out of the teams rumoured to be interested I think I like Pittsburg assets the least amount, give me more NYR, LA, NJ, Col. Marino is such a blah player to be moving good assets out for!

 

[Peen]

Corey has a lot of canucks related likes on his twitter.

 

[pitseleh]

I agree with the defensive upside but at worst it would be what he was last season where he was not a 2nd pairing anchor?

I don’t feel confident saying he wasn’t. Only his expected goals really dipped and given it was only over 50 games and over his career his expected goals have tracked his Corsi/Fenwick/GF/PDO. If all we had was last season that would be a reason for concern but since he is rebounded this year it worries me less.

They continuously contend because they have Crosby, Malkin and Letang…look at their draft record under JR and it’s pretty terrible.

I just want to know the direction we’re going. I’m concerned as f*** that they will keep and sign Miller, I could be wrong, but I feel that’s the wrong direction for this team. As much as I like Miller, I just want the rebuild, which I think is needed, to be done right. I’m sick of being sold a poorly constructed team to watch and having a management group that is gambling on a fantasy that if we make the playoffs anything can happen… we’ve been sold that for a long time, let’s create a contender and no more pretenders. This silly idea of, “just make the playoffs and anything can happen” is a sign of incompetent management, it easier to make a playoff team and sell a fantasy than creating a legit contender.

I could see the Miller as a play to up the offers, teams might give us more if we say he isn’t going anywhere. The ONLY two big names that should be on the block are Miller and Boeser.

JR averaged two trades a month, or so I was told, we just get talk about guys that won’t shift the needle

There will be no rebuild, they’ve repeated multiple times that Demko,Hughes and EP are untouchable
If they want to rebuild they wouldnt have said that

Lol what? They were contending for the cup year in year out, trading first round picks left and right, what do you expect.

depends what a person thinks a retool or rebuild is. They said they want to get faster, that’s going to require more than a trade or two because of the team make up and cap issues. It’s said off the record they expect us to contend in 3 years, that seems somewhere in between a retooling and rebuild, I wouldn’t expect a retooling to take 3 years.

 

[Canucker]

I would expect better drafting than terrible…with or without first rounders. If you’re going to trade your high picks away, you’d better be able to find some late round gems.

So you’re saying you’re happy the Canucks are potentially dealing with the Pens over teams with decent prospect pools? Ok.

 

[kcunac]

Loving the Marino for Boeser rumour/discussion. He’s the type we should be targeting.

I know people don’t like these charts but (from Jan 2021):
