The Tank Megathread | 7 | All Tank Talk & Standings Talk

Jets adding someone like Stamkos would be huge for them.

Small budget team + Canadian economy tanking = no money.

Cap floor means you do have to spend X amount of money; haven't really bothered looking at their payroll - but most teams could probably afford one big ticket item (might require a dumping of a contract or two).

Not quite as expensive but even a team like the Canes could afford to pay a good chunk of change to Staal.

Sigh, Calgary lost.

Well they are going to lose Buff and Ladd this offseason but having a 10M guy on your roster is going to be hard especially having an internal cap.

They really need to get a goalie. Can we con them with Miller.

 

[Bonham]

Sigh, Flames...

Good news is, we're only 5 points out of last place! Need a huge win from Calgary tomorrow.

True enough.

As for Miller, they need a starting goalie not an elite backup goalie.

They should be adding hamonic

 

[kanucks25]

Ducks and Coyotes about to enter the 2nd intermission tied.

Hopefully they go to OT

NY want a hockey trade, not sure they have the depth since they will be losing Buff.

Is buff leaving certain now?
Haven't heard anything new...

Nyi might have to take the best deal they get. Hamonic is going to want out before next season starts.

I can see him cashing out, probably will be his last big contract. Don't see him taking a "hometown" discount to stay in Winnipeg and hard to imagine Winningpeg having enough dough to give him the contract he wants.

I think edmonton has the most assets to make a play for Harmonic and they are ****ing ******** for not doing it.

Some nice tank games tomorrow.

Oilers vs Canadiens

Leafs vs sens

Flames vs Nucks

Jets have a chance vs avs
Rangers vs flyers


Lose tomorrow and we lose ground to at least two teams below us and hopefully get a couple of other results (jets flyers)

 

[stuffradio]

He also thought we'd win game 7 against Boston.

So, isn't that a good thing for tank supporters? It means he's the jinx to us making the playoffs.

Kypreos reported today he expects Buff to sign in the near future.

 

[NucksRuleYep]

Only 5 points out of dead last now.

All it will take is 5 losses in a row and we will be in prime position.

Would be surprised if that happens.

 

[VanJack]

Sigh, Calgary lost.

Yes, Flames also stubbed their toe against the lowly Blue Jackets....but look at it positively, seven of the 14 total lottery picks will go to Canadian teams if the situation stays the same, and no real reason to think it won't.

Too bad our schedule is easy asf

I'm as excited by that prospect as I was when McDavid went to a Canadian team.

 

[Zombotron]

Yeah, I really want to see Edmonton augment McDavid with a competent two-way centre in Pierre-Luc Dubois, and I really want to see Ottawa augment Erik Karlsson with another finesse defenseman in Mikhail Sergachev, and I really want to see Toronto with any of the top-four picks, because we all know Toronto is modest and level-headed about its prospects!

 

[tantalum]

Too bad our schedule is easy asf

Game before the break they lost to Nashville, a team they need to leap frog. Game after the break they lost to the worst team in the league. There is no such thing as an easy schedule when you are a bad team. Right now every decent team that has the Canucks more than once down the stretch are circling those games as gimmes...the Canucks don't get to circle any games.

I think it is more important that we lose ground to the teams in the wild card positions. That way we have a better chance at becoming sellers at the deadline. So I want the Avs to get hot in February.

 

[Knight53]

Pretty big game tonight. Sucks that Calgary lost yesterday as it would've made this game more interesting. Absolutely do not want to see the flames pick in the top 3.

Feel like after the Leafs game next Saturday the wheels start to come off where we see multiple losing streaks.

Really hoping that the Columbus loss opened Management's eyes and ultimately the Ownership's mindset. Feel like more people are starting to side with the tankists after each lose lately which is good news.

 

[Gaunce4gm]

Well Miller is supposed to start so I'll say 5-3 Flames. Goals from Virtanen Baertschi and Henrik. Bo and Ben with a pair of Apples each

 

[Love]

Do we want Montreal to win today or Edmonton? Preferably a 3 point game obviously.
