On a serious note, Marchessault would be a PERFECT winger for Miller or Pettersson

His dog?
I mean, I'd take that into account too, but this is the first time I've seen a player mention his dog's preference.

Least she doesn’t say that to you.
Hey, dogs are family too! And honestly, van is a great place to have a dog. Lots of areas to walk them lol
I have a dog in Vancouver's DTES, and it's fine. Lots of better places for dogs, but if you need to be in a big city then Van is pretty good. Just wish he could help with rent.

Without knowing where he lives, I'll assume Dt. W the seawall and the parks, there are tons of areas at your doorstep. Also short drives away from alot of parks etc.
If there's one thing I think vancouver has an edge over alot of cities in North America, it's that its infrastructure has a kept alot of nature and greenery inside and throughout the lower mainland. It's not just a concrete jungle. The climate helps too lol
Also yea rent is stupid AF. It is what it is though. Complaining about it is like complaining about gas lol, it doesn't matter cuz ppl will still pay it.
Feel like march will be chasing every last penny if he leaves Vegas. He's won a cup, he's at the back end of his career, I predict any team outside of lv that ends up with him will have paid a small fortune over an uncomfortable term to have.

Literally the only other time Hronek did any media this season, besides the year end, was for a feature on his dog Atilla.

My dog is my family, spend more time talking to him then most of my human friends
Hopefully Petey takes a quick trip to Switzerland this summer.

The Canucks (and all teams, heck, all employers) should be investing whatever they can into improving and strengthening the mental health of their players / employees.

So what is our first player transaction this off season going to be?
I kind of thought we’d have seen a smaller one by this point (Arturs Silovs getting a deal, for example), but I wonder if the Canucks have everything else on hold while they look at Lindholm and Zadorov.

I would agree.
Hronek is priority #1. Van has two good centers signed. Van has 2 good LHD signed. Van does not have even 1 good RHD signed.

Hronek is an RFA and his deal will probably not get done before the free agent frenzy has come and gone. If they can pull a big RHD name out of the UFA pool and the others sign quickly, Hronek's trade value goes up materially.
It’ll be re-signing one of he UFAs. Which one is anyone’s guess. Hronek situation should also come to ahead before or at the draft. I’m less confident in that since RFA negotiations can get weird.
We have 20 days until the draft and 22 days until July 1st. Lots should happen over that time across the league.

My gut tells me they have handshake deals already done with some conditions. Example as soon as Mikheyev is dealt the dominos will fall.
I would say otherwise, if I was a team knowing that the team is less likely to sign a player, I'm not paying more, I'm paying less. Like Detroit did with Debrincat. Ottawa paid 7oa, 39oa, 112oa to acquire him and got 25oa, 112oa and two bums in return. That is significantly shittier of a return.

That's my assumption as well. They probably have an idea of where their key targets are and are trying to move money to keep options opened for free agency.
This is the most likely scenario.....once the Cup is awarded, the announcements will come thick and fast.
I think a lot of teams have been working the phones constantly with players, agents and other teams. And the dominoes are set to fall.
I still sense that the Canucks will be in on on at least one block-buster trade before the draft. They need to move some contracts; but then so does just about every other team in the league.

A trade will happen before any re-signing.
And it won’t be Hronek. Least not till some dust settles first.
