This board will explode if we sign Neal . After them saying we won't be going for big ticket guys

Apparently Vancouver and Vegas are really battling it out for Beagle.

Go Knights!

If true, there's no reason for Beagle to choose us over the much better team if the term/money is close. Surely, he's just using us as leverage.

Vegas is paying $2.775M a year for Reaves. Silly season has officially started. Hopefully they also overspend on Beagle.

 

[member 290103]

Hopefully Beagle is just leveraging other teams using Vancouver. Dim will waste the money regardless though, so it really doesn't matter. If it's not the Beagle, it's some other shitty overpriced vet.

Hopefully the Schaller signing indicates we're out on Beagle. Hope for another lower cost guy rather than Roussel as well but I know that's not likely.

And I mean....



I'll take it.

 

[Canadian Canuck]

I really hope we Sign Neal, Schaller and one of Rousell/Beagle depending on the price.

You forgot to say "and trade Sutter".

We are NOT signing Neal. The only thing that would be acceptable is one year at a really high cap hit so we can trade him for a first at the TDL

God this is going to suck ass

Like that idea... Neal, one year for 7M or so and let Dahlen/Lind/Palmu ripen in Utica. Flip Neal for picks at the TDL and bring up the best of those three kids.

something tells me magicman1963 is actually jim benning

Naaaa...i actually have a few more marbles then Jimbo...not many more but a few..lmao

I like Schaller, but this is just one of those "bottom 6 guy scores random nice goal"

 

[petrishriekandgo]

That Neal deal may be a move (IF it happens) to try and pry a first rounder etc. out of somebody to position the Canucks for a shot at Jack Hughes @ next years draft.

 

[Nucker101]

Neal is gonna get way better offers than 1 year at 7.5M from a bottom feeder...

Well... we have the space to compete with those offers.

I’m on the same page but he is probably looking for $6MM * 5. So a one year deal would probably cost $8MM. But I’m ok with that. Retain salary if needed and trade for a first. Of course, it’s wishful thinking that he would leave term on the table

 

[petrishriekandgo]

Also like the idea of Boeser learning from Vanek and Neal early in his career. Two career NHL scorers, lots of tricks for his basket. Pettersson would benefit as well.

Where is this James Neal stuff coming from?

 

[ChilliBilly]

Just depressing. We have 6 - 8 overpaid borderline AHL/NHL tweeners and we want to add more?Damn it, have these guys not got a clue. Stop trying to speed up the rebuild and clogging it with this shit. we have a ton of talent coming into the system and they keep trying to get asses in the seats ... screw Aquilini , he has made a fortune off of the Canucks, and he worries about trying to get a few bullshit playoff games revenue.

He was seen in Vancouver yesterday/today? Think he was looking at houses
