Ugh, burn it with fire.

 

[supercanuck]

Just seems so wrong.

Hurts seeing Tanev in a Flames jersey. I wish him the best and to stay healthy. But it was the right move letting him walk.

Only because we have so many bloated contracts. That's what irks me the most, honestly. Overpaying on term for a guy like Tanev is something you do. Not only because he's a good player but he's been a warrior for your team. If he falls off by three year or so. No big deal. Tanev won't be a liability. Instead, we overpaid for guys that are fourth liners or can barely justify a roster spot.

What the f*** @Hughes Unleashed

 

[brock hughes007]

Just seems weird,,but anyways..flames fans will love his injury time...

 

[BB06]

Don't think we'll see many more move until we get closer to next season. About to enter the NHL period of the Dog days of summer but this time it's the winter edition.

 

[FOurteenS inCisOr]

I would’ve matched what Calgary gave him in a heartbeat, if I were the Canucks.

Sucks to see him in those colours.

 

[Canadian Canuck]

Canucks and Anthanisou have mutual interest but apparently we are focused on getting a defenseman first.

Even this is generous. Baertschi and the Spooner buyout would cover Tanev’s cap hit, nevermind players like Eriksson and Benn who shouldn’t be consistent roster players based on last year (and Sutter/Beagle/Roussel are replaceable with $1-2 million depth players). They make up like $23 mill in dead cap space.

Tanev should be here instead of Myers.

 

[Fatass]

Tanev and Stecher cost Myers. Pretty crappy job by Benning. Oh, and Tofoli is about 2 million less than Loui. God, the money Benning wasted on crappy guys, that could have been used to keep our (much better) UFAs is nuts.

Hoooo boy better be league minimum, he's one of those players who skates really fast and isn't very good at much else.

Yup agreed

Would much rather see if we can get Haula

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

There doesn't seem to be any appetite from management to add a 3C. Not a single rumor. They really seem satisfied with some combination of Gaudette/Beagle/Sutter in those roles.

Mikael Granlund should be our target. Can play RW and C.

 

[vanuck]

Just because last time I suggested they target Hawyrluk and they actually went out and signed him, I'm going to throw out another name who should also be cheap: Dominik Kahun. He's been insanely productive at ES over the last 2 years while playing in a depth role, and largely without PP stats to boost his numbers too.

He also seems to be a decent playmaker too, so he'd be a nice fit alongside Horvat instead of Pearson...

 

[Frankie Blueberries]

He should get the same, if not more money than Toffoli did based on their career numbers. Canucks would have to clear a fair amount of cap (I doubt dumping either one of Sutter/Baer would be enough).

He won’t get more than 3.5 mill imo. He’s regressed a bit.

 

[rypper]

I wonder what kind of celebration the team will have for Loui's 1000th game?
