Remember when CBJ signed Nathan Horton to that massive contract without getting it insured lol. Let the Leafs get out from under Clarkson. Both those guys were under contract until 2020.

That was the only other example of uninsured contracts that got traded that I could think of.

 

[Izzy Goodenough]

Close on Myers (also an unsubstantiated rumour they are close on Zadorov):

 

[Nick Lang]

IMO, you would think if Carolina were going to sign him—it would’ve happened by now.

It's not even June yet. Don't they have lots of time or are these guys talking to other teams already? Are they allowed to have informal chats with players heading to UFA or what's the rule on that again nowadays?

Close on Myers (also an unsubstantiated rumour they are close one Zadorov):

I thought, $3M flat, but that's around right. Would prefer 2 to 3 years, obviously, but not going to split hairs.

I'm okay with Myers in a tweener 4/5 role at this point of his career. He earned another contract with his play down the stretch and into the playoffs. Issue is, he might be pushed up the lineup due to total lack of RHD on our team.

You do hope it's 2 years. He's turning 35 next season and will probably start losing his mobility, and doesn't have the IQ to compensate for that.

Its always a puzzle fitting everyone back in... but I probably sign that contract...

More rumours, Canucks trying to make the obvious Chess move:

 

[Frankie Blueberries]

A Kings fan has proposed a Fiala trade on the main boards.

I haven’t watched him play much, but he is over a PPG in 2/3 of the last 3 seasons. Would you guys do Lekkerimaki + as a base? We probably get outbid though.

I like Fiala but don't know how much appetite I have for moving Lekkerimaki. If we could toss Mikheyev in there too, I'd definitely have to consider it.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Complete fantasy but I would move the entire farm for Joel Eriksson Ek.

 

[Vector]

I’d never wake up from that dream.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Complete fantasy but I would move the entire farm for Joel Eriksson Ek.

Pettersson, Lekk, Hronek, 1st round pick for Kaprizov and Eriksson Ek?

Paper work in the trade will say Elias Pettersson, but Minneosta will fail to see the 2004 birth year. Muahahaha.

 

[bossram]

So, let Zadorov walk I concur with this assessment.

Yes

 

[Petey O]

Complete fantasy but I would move the entire farm for Joel Eriksson Ek.

You're going to spawn the HfWild Beetlejuice mentioning that name.

 

[Bgav]

You had me in the first half, not gonna lie

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

Boeser for Ehlers, Mikheyev and Hoglander for Necas. Let’s get fast.

Boeser for Ehlers is a big downgrade. Boeser had 40 goals, played excellent 2-way hockey, was incredible in the playoffs.

Boeser plays heavy, wins board battles, not afraid to get to the dirty areas, solid 2-way.

Ehlers plays too much on the perimeter, has a tough time winning board battles and maintaining possession, needs big strong line mates to be effective.

Regular Season:

Ehlers 6’0 171
GP: 82 G:25 P:61

Boeser 6’1 208
GP: 81 G:40 P:73

Playoffs:

Boeser
GP:12 G:7 A:5 P:12 +2

Ehlers:
GP:5 G:0 A:2 P:2 -4

 

[Frankie Blueberries]

Boeser for Ehlers is a big downgrade. Boeser had 40 goals, played excellent 2-way hockey, was incredible in the playoffs.

100%. Boeser is also in a contract year which, while being a double edged sword for us, likely means he has a big year production wise. It’ll probably be his last big contract.

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

100%. Boeser is also in a contract year which, while being a double edged sword for us, likely means he has a big year production wise. It’ll probably be his last big contract.

Boeser has really rounded out his game nicely over the past couple seasons, he’s become an excellent 2-way winger, shuts down top lines now, plays in the last minute defending a lead and in the last minute trying to get a tying goal. Miller looked ineffective without him in game 7 as did the power play. Boeser plays hard and heavy, wins board battles, so many intangibles to his game, not just a 40 goal scorer.

 

[Frankie Blueberries]

I tried making a best American born Canucks team. The forward depth is…not great. Let me know if I forgot anyone.


Curt Fraser - Miller - Boeser

Higgins - Kesler - Garland

Booth - Bonino - Klatt

Joshua - Dowd - O’Flaherty

Brashear, Lafferty


Hughes - Hedican

Cole - Schmidt

Ballard - Schneider

Carney


Demko

Miller

Schneider


@bossram - Garland is a top 6 forward

Dave Capuano?

 

[Rowlet]

They can do a sign-and-trade with Carolina.

If they do a S&T, Carolina would just keep him.

 

[Jerry the great]

yeah, i'd have little interest in Ehlers generally, and absolutely not interest in swapping him for Boeser. The only guys I'd look at as a swap for Boeser would be Marner, or if Reinhart is not staying in Florida and wants to come home (not sure why he would). the later would be a move for futures just to free up cap space or a positional swap (like Adam Larsson for Boeser)

that last one is interesting from a cap/upgrade perspective

Suter-Miller-Reinhart (11.5)
Hoglander-Pettersson-Arvidson(4.5)
Joshua(3)-Blueger(2.2)-Garland
PDG-Aman-Podkolzin
Karlsson (.85)

$51.9MM

Hughes Larsson
Soucy Myers (2.75)
Dillon (2.75) chatfield (3.5)

Total: $82.775
OEL 2.35

Grand Total: $85.125 (which i believe leaves us space to LTIR Poolman after the season starts

Sutter and Gillis played for Canada internationally so I wouldn't count them.

So does Myers but Frankie B is counting him.

Listen, I’m shocked neither of you had Joshua.
