I like that the Peg is getting some of their UFAs re-signed.

For a place that "no one wants to go to", they sure seem to keep alot of their players.

That Pionk deal is pretty good value relative to the Chychrun contract. Nice work from Winnipeg.

Really? Chychrun is younger and better though. Feels like both are decent value.

Well, once you’ve been in a place for a while most will tend to stay. That’s why they are a draft and develop team because you’re not likely to convince players who have no ties there to sign. Get them in there when they are young and get used to the city. Build up ties to it.

Makes the Marcus Pettersson deal look like a steal. He has scored more at 5 on 5 the last two years than both of them. Better defensively, and on the pk. I like the Pionk deal more than Chychrun. And they couldn’t break up Pionk and Samberg with how good they have been this year.

MPetey addition plus contract just keeps looking better my god

I honestly cant believe he signed that deal. He could have gotten 7.5~ on the market

well he's boring so there's that
yeah i don't know
again - reminder to not to go after flashy players but players who do the exact same stuff but are boring

Regarding the M-Petey deal, sometimes fortune smiles on our Canucks team. It's rare (getting Hughes at #7 in the draft, getting D-Pete in the 3rd round), but it happens.

Something wonderful could happen to our forward corps this summer. Life is funny (and cruel) that way.

The Pettersson contract is much better than Pionk’s, but it highlights how defenders who put up points (rightly or wrongly) get paid, even if the difference is just an extra 10-15 points per season because they get second unit PP time.

Pionk has averaged 40 points per 82 games since he joined the Jets whereas Pettersson is at 25 points / 82.

Remains one of the few obvious market inefficiencies that can be taken advantage of. When I saw Matt Roy’s contract with Washington last year I was shocked he got so little.

Bodes well long term for the Canucks to maintain a good blue line at a very reasonable cost with Junior and Willander.

Absolutely.. Junior has that boring thing going for him where unless he just snaps into a 40 point dman in 3 years he could be a fair market long long term piece

All eyes on the Buffalo game as they EDGE the Flyers 5-4 in the final game of the season for BOTH teams. Unreal end...

Yes definitely not on the Panarin story.

Not sure how many of you are old enough to remember Dixon Ward…

His son, Taylor, scored his first NHL goal last night as a 27 year old unheralded rookie playing his first NHL game.

For those that don’t remember (or are too young) Dixon was a later draft pick for the Canucks that put up some big numbers in College and then had a nice rookie season with the Canucks, but then things kind of went in the crapper after that.

The first father-son duo in Kings history

Sweet moment as Dixon lets the tears flow after watching his son score:

Full story on what happened to Charlie McAvoy at the 4 Nations Faceoff. The Minnesota Wild team doctors administered a shot resulting in a staph infection. Yikes.
