Don’t know if the Canucks pursue this, but I wouldn’t mind them taking a flier on a player like this.

He’s not good having seen him a couple times. Would be a waste.

Bear should be traded rather than left to walk for nothing.
Unless he has no trade value, in which case the acquisition was pointless in the first place, for what did it accomplish?
But he definitely shouldn't be qualified.

Who would you say are the possession players other than the Pettersson line that should be trying to stickhandle through traffic at the bluelines?
Good question.. i would like to also hear who can effectively run lines by possessing...
That makes me laugh.. to their strengths.. the strengths he is likely thinking of exist in the offensive zone and quickly turn into weaknesses the closer they get to their own net

Yes a bit strange...basically Beauviller Garland Boeser Hoglander (when he was here) the so called secondary skilled players get displaced at the bluelines when the D were in good position and Miller has had huge success with his timed dump and chase where he knocks the D man off the puck.
The issue with the above is they are not really good at either but you sure as hell cant let them keep turning it over like Bruce did and expect success. We were getting quick transitioned to death with that crap because the centers were moving the wrong direction and couldn't help when they did.
Tocchet has them winning and supporting well im not sure how going back to Green and Bruce's style is enviable
Kevinsane
Kraken up.
But that’s just it. He has the first line playing fourth line hockey. There’s no risk and no creativity.
Totally agree.. the only guy outside of Petey that I trust is actually Garland but that is only when he has that extra little bit of room like a car length because he gets closed on fast.
Everyone else is either too slow or has a wonderful tendency to carry it directly into traffic. The best skater we have thought you would even think about this due to speed is studnicka but his Puck smarts is about as advanced as my nuclear physicist smarts. This is a dump and Chase team that can do all sorts of neat things while in the zone but to get in it's got to be simple
Canucks should focus on getting Myers to not have Anaheim on his NTC. Anaheim has 1 RHD (Drysdale) and run on an internal budget. Getting Myers at 1M for 1 year is something they may pay a 3rd or 4th round pick for. They could then retain 50% around the TDL (Klingberg model) and get a little more abck for him
I would prefer to keep him out of the division.. i dont like the idea of playin.... haha.. almost had it

I would gladly add a 4th and a B prospect to get rid of that contract.
If we got a return that would be amazing

Main boards had a Beauvillier for Dvorak proposal. Maybe we could use the Habs to take Myers to accommodate the extra contract dollars haha.
They get a 1 million dollar RD that can get them an asset at next years deadline plus that option with Beauvillier and a hometown player and Dvorak gets to re unite with Garland and with Podkolzin on the 3rd line next year

dvorak is bad, tocchet will probably overuse him and the extra year on his contract as compared to beauvillier is actually a killer given the canucks cap situation next summer

Montreal has two many NHL ready D. The last thing they need is a $6m bottom pairing chaos giraffe
Not unless you take a player like Nemeth or Kassian, who have real dollars attached to them. Dump them in the minors or buy them out.

I don't think I'd want to do this, but would Arizona take back OEL along with the Canucks' 1st this year? They'd still have a miniscule payroll and the deepest prospect group ever assembled by far.

Would do this without thinking twice. Imagine giving Arizona 2 top 10 picks for 2 bad years of OEL lmao.

He's the same tier a player as Beauvillier but he plays a premium position we could use vs another small winger who will be UFA in a year and might just walk for nothing and could be easily replaced by Hoglander
Your not getting a good 3C for cheap and would make for a pretty good 3rd line with Podkolzin Dvorak Garland vs the alternative of moving Garland and getting next to nothing in return that helps and still dealing with Beauvilliers contract status which might get ugly as he's already at or above the ceiling for what he brings and with a terrible free agent class he holds the hammer in negotiations.
Dvoraks 2yrs also aligns with Raty being able to marinade in Abbotsford vs rushing him into the role. He's had chemistry with Garland who has had chemistry with Podkolzin which would make for a good 3rd line.
With Pearson Myers contracts expiring and the cap set to move up 2-3 million that summer fitting the contract is much better than chasing a vet 3C like Compher who will want term and it's completely doable with raises for Pettersson Podkolzin and Hronek....i've done the math. The only issue is if we want a big fish on D and dont buy out OEL then it restricts that.
Obviously them taking Myers is a pipe dream which is why i added the haha. Montreal is too close to the cap ceiling and would probably prefer to play Barron and Kovacevic vs making room for 6mill in AAV even if he might be flippable at the deadline

There's no way oel okays going back to Arizona.

Go ahead foot
I think they might want more. For an ordinary team that's a lot of money for just a #10/11 pick. For Arizona is a huge amount of money. Explain to the owner why he should want to spend $30 million real money for a pick that has big chance of busting or unperforning.

They wouldn't be planning to spend $30M. They'd either buy him out for $19.33M or bet on him being on LTIR within a couple of years.
Also, in their present position the team has a less than 25 percent chance of drafting 10th or 11th. They are far more likely to draft 1st, 2nd or 9th.
