Keep dreaming Trotz.

 

[valkynax]

get michael buble to do it as a duet with raffi.

I'd give this a 1000 likes and crash the site if I could but I am but one man so...sadge.

Should I set banana phone as my ringtone?

 

[Tact]

Perhaps they were trying to call JR/PA bluff and try and squeeze more money.

Wrong play - these guys don’t mess around - they will trade and/or move on immediately. Especially if you’re going to leave him in the air without an answer - they do not wait for you.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Seeing some options on the wings here suggested that make me question things. The options have ranged from meh defensively to outright liability

 

[StickShift]

Is the goalie narrative because Silovs is waiver eligible?

Partially, I'm sure they want him getting games and not just riding the pine for stretches.

They probably want another capable NHL goaltender in case someone gets injured, too.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Zadorov's tying goal in Game 1 against Edmonton is one of my favourite playoff goals...probably ever for this franchise.

Sucks to see him go.

Best of luck to him. Hell of a player and a hell of a character off the ice.

 

[Izzy Goodenough]

So how many assets collectively did they flush for a few months of Zadorov and Lindholm exactly?

Why didn't they request a conversation with their respective agents about the specific cost of resigning them before they traded for them?

Their asset management is bad and better improve.

its been stated from the moment that they got lindholm that they’re content with him being a rental

… did you want them to return the exact same team?

 

[Cancuks]

Use Zadorov's money to sign Tanev. If Dillon can't be signed for a reasonable amount ($3 million max) then try trading for McNabb as Vegas needs cap space. There's always a ton of LD on the market so it's more important to build the best right side possible.

Oh no we lost a 3rd in the Zad trade as a contender stocking up for the deadline. What a disaster.

We were first in the league - you’re actively complaining that our GMs bought rentals to try and win a cup?

Seriously? Would you rather they do nothing because of asset management and not do everything in their power to try and win for the fans and players of this team?

They tried to re-sign both to reasonable deals and they couldn’t - Life moves on.

He can go up and down without waivers. Dhaliwal isn't sure why the Canucks are now looking for an NHL back-up. I think they are concerned about Demko's durability and don't want to leave Silovs without an experienced back-up if he's pressed into starting duty.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Nucks 100% need to do a Raffi night next season.

Raffi songs the whole game.

Edit: And have Raffi at the game.

Guentzel's price just went up.

I don't think it reasonable for someone (anyone for that matter) to think Askarov alone gets you a Top 5 pick.

He would need to be part of a package. That's the Ask.

 

[ziploc]

Crap sticks

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

Biggest team needs:

1. Elite Top 6 Winger
2. Top 4 Physical Defenceman

3. 3rd line Centre
4. Back up goalie
5. 6th D

makes sense to get a backup good enough that he would not clear waivers. they can still call up silovs by sending a skater down to abby even without an injury.

not sure why they were leaning the other way, but recall desmith was more or less an opportunistic move last year as the way to get rid of pearson.

I spit out my coffee when I saw AFP has Toffoli at 4x$6M. Who da F is gonna give him that. Hopefully not us.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Wonder if Big Z doesn't get what he's looking for in free agency and fires Millstein and we get him still.

Toronto media seem convinced that tanev is going there and confident they're getting Zadorov too.

I'd bet alot right now Tanev is coming here to finish his career. The team and Hughes connection is too strong.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

My guesses on him are all over the place. I could see him taking a 1 or 2 year deal with the right contender, probably for between $4 and $5M. But could also see him going for some term (3-4 years or more) and being less selective about which team offers it.

 

[Bgav]

Where the f*** are the rumors. Elliot once again hypes up trades and its been crickets

I would agree that, especially in light of all the latest buzz, I think a Tanev/Vancouver reunion on Monday would be the least shocking thing to occur.
