Pretty cool to see how pumped Podkolzin was to meet Ovechkin.
Yes
It’s really quiet complex and commend you on being able to somewhat follow my complicated algorithm but yes paying a
4th liner 4th line money is my unique management style
Boeser’s QO is a huge problem.
If he doesn’t have a big 2nd half it is a legitimate possibility that our only reasonable option will be to not qualify him and lose him for nothing. I’m not sure how many people grasp this.
QO is high but they can get the cap hit down by front loading, which apparently is allowed under the rules. If they can get it down to around 6m x 5yrs that’ll do nicely.
also, I think Boeser was good against the Caps, just didn’t score. That whole line drove play well, just didn’t get the finish. Im a bit skeptical of Naturalstattrick’s xG but he had the highest xGF for good reason and it matched the eye test. I don’t understand why you are being so hard on him.
It should be common sense but fans get too attached to playersBoeser’s QO is a huge problem.

Stanley Cup contender confirmed.They are 1-3 on the trip, but they outchanced both Florida teams, so really not playing all that bad.
I don't know. You hotshot posters with your fancy stats and crazy ideas. I just don't see it working. You absolutely need high priced veteran players on the fourth line to carry teams to cups, there's ample proof of this using the eye test and that's what real hockey fans can get behind.Yes

There was zero chance when it was Benning. I don’t have a good enough read on Rutherford yet to say that about him.
Fans would be happier and the optics would be better if we traded him for a 2nd and a bad contract but it would actually be better to let him go for nothing.
I’m very interested to see how Boeser’s situation will unfold over the next 6 months. And I will be somewhat surprised to see him on the 22-23 Canucks.
Could you cite a comparable, in the NHL, where this has happened before? I’m struggling to come up with one. Specifically with a fairly high performing RFA on a big contract. It’s normal in the MLB, NBA, and NFL but not here. Rutherford has never really been a trend setter.
I’d also he surprised if he’s on the team but it won’t be by a declined QO. I also disagree that his value would be so low, even with that crazy high cap number, that the Canucks still couldn’t get positive value back. NHL teams sign terrible UFA deals every season, giving up an asset to sign a young scorer like Boeser will appeal to someone.

Don’t have viewership = the market I was talking about earlierya, everything costs $. Only 1 reason that there is no Pre-game and Post-game show: (1) SNP don't care or (2) Don't have enough viewership
Life is suffering.I can't believe the first game I miss in 20 games, Petey scores 2 goals. WTF. I've been sitting around as a fan twiddling my thumbs patiently waiting for him to wake up, and he pots two the moment I blink.
This kid is torturing me. Pure torture.
Hopefully for us a historical moment?Must’ve been a great moment for Podz, meeting your childhood hero
And damn do I feel old seeing Ovi as a grizzled vet…. I still remember when he first broke into the league with those flying Capitals jerseys and the shiny visor lol
Depends on Petey tbh.Do you think there's any chance Boeser foregos his QO and signs a multi year deal that commensurate to his value? I think he'd really, really want to play here to do so.

Hopefully the first work thing Pod does today is to drink a protein shake and pump iron to start his transformation into actual Podzilla?
That would be awesome.
What motivation does Boeser have to sign that deal? He would get more as an UFA.
Can he do that? Would the NHLPA even let it happen? Or is it only another team? This team HAS to make the qualifying offer because he is part of the contract already.Do you think there's any chance Boeser foregos his QO and signs a multi year deal that commensurate to his value?

Is Boeser worth the QO? Especially if a Colorado type rebuild is going to happen, is he worth more to stay and age while waiting for a supporting cast (due to cap issues) or as an asset to be dealt for hopefully better future players all the same age?Let's not forget that the Canucks can take Boeser to arbitration. The Canucks actually have options on Boeser. Clagary, meanwhile, are in a Mark Stone situation with Tkachuk.
He has lots of good chances that didn't go in and then these. A goal is a goal but Garret made it seem like he looked on the deflection off the back in, I PVRed it and have looked several times, he never looked, I think all he was doing was trying to get it to the front of the net. Still hopefully this is a start.I can't believe the first game I miss in 20 games, Petey scores 2 goals. WTF.

what do you think he gets as UFA?

If they are going to trade him and get the best result it almost HAS to be around the TDL when they can retain salary and increase trade value.And just to add - I wouldn't pay him that and I think he should be traded. I also think there's zero chance he doesn't get qualified and it's probably not even worth a discussion.
Pretty sure if they go to arbitration all they are doing is delaying his going, alienating the player and diminishing trade value as other teams would know the team would have to deal to get something back.You missed my point. My point is that the team can elect to take Boeser to salary arbitration and possibly reduce Boeser's contract next year.
