Reinhart is similar to a Necas acquisition.

Does not have the same speed and little older.

But RHS who primarily plays wing but can play C if needed.

Given the Nucks previously reported interest in Necas and him being a local kid, I would not be at all surprised if mgmt makes a push if he hits FA.

Is that taking playoff production into account as well?

It’s nearly identical for the past 5 years. I’m not sure that what Guentzel did 7 years ago with prime Crosby is necessarily that predictive.

 

[ProviesGhost]

Anyone know what guentzels ask from Carolina was?

they met his earlier ask of 8x8 and he said “let me think about it” then they traded him LOL…. polite way of saying he’s not signing, and I hope he does the same to TB

 

[ziploc]

It's obvious that all of these players are holding out for the possibility of coming to Vancouver. I feel bad for the ones who are going to miss out.

 

[Regal]

Anyone know what guentzels ask from Carolina was?

It was reportedly 8x8, which they met, then he still said no.

 

[wetcoast]

Guentzel is the OnlyFans girl Vancouver spends a lot of time messaging and pining over.

Only to see her get what’s coming to her from another guy.

Well I guess we know what some people are doing while waiting for FA eh?

 

[Cancuks]

How about trading for Burakovsky? After his poor performance in Seattle we could probably have them retain or add a pick to the trade. He's only 29 and 3 years left at $5.5 million. Played well in Colorado and he has some size.

 

[ameselare]

Reinhart's entire family are big members at Hollyburn in West Van, probably the ritziest sports club in all of Canada. That's where the boys all played their 12-14 year old seasons if I'm not mistaken. Paul is in there all the time.

For what it's going to take to sign him, I would much rather have Guentzel. But if he would take 9.5x7 to come home...in our position, we would seriously need to consider that.

Yeah it was them, Morgan Rielly, and Kerfoot. I believe JT Miller might be a member there too so Sam, his bros, and him can all yuk it up there together.

Who wouldn’t jump at the chance to pay this government for blinking.

Watching the Euros.

I don’t know if he’s a Tocchet player. Avs didn’t miss him when he was hurt in their cup run. He’d be an interesting 1 year reclamation UFA but I wouldn’t risk 3 years at 5.5 or even if they retained some.

 

[Kryten]

Getting a third round pick for just his rights is really good. But if a player is leaving, not much you can do. It's like saying the Canucks fumbled it with Lindholm.

I wonder about this team's tearing themselves apart to open cap space being a canary in the cold mine for free agents. How the Lighting/Guentzal thing plays out will validate my thinking here. Joining the Lightning without Stamkos and being the reason there's no more Tampa in Stamkos is a weird situation to decide to step into. Vs Vancouver who mostly able to keep it's team together and has a seamless spot to join.

I might just be coping tho!

Sounds like Guentzels camp wanted 8x8 and CAR dragged their feet for days. By the time CAR agreed, Guentzel was long gone. They shouldve been all over that the moment it was an option. Their days of looking smart with no old guys are going to quickly bite them by losing all their riches to a watered down league

Tomorrow can't come soon enough.

In order news, what's everyone's Canada Day plans?

The same thing we do everyday, Pinky. Stare at the TV and shitpost here on HF

It’s also my wedding anniversary. Dropping the kids off at my parents in Chilliwack at 8am. Hurrying back to Abbotsford and watching the UFA period while HF collapses. Wife will be at yoga until noon. Probably head out to some local establishments in the mid-afternoon.

 

[DFAC]

Sobif both reinhard and guentzel want to come to van, who would you prefer

Guentzel for me, guy is so dynamic offensive and he's about as good as a playoff performer as any.

He would also fit seamlessly onto PP1

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Blake Lizotte going on qualified by LA. He’s a guy that’s stood out to me whenever watching them play. Would be a good addition to our bottom six.

On that note, I wonder about Podkolzin. What does the team foresee his role being? He’s getting a $1M AAV for two years, but has 3 NHL goals in his last two partial seasons combined.

My kids aren’t very interested in the local Canada Day parade this year, so that means more time for me to scrutinize all the activity on Twitter and HF.

Probably close to lunchtime we’ll go down for the food trucks and whatnot. And then the outdoor concerts in the evening I imagine my teenager will want to go to.

The Abbotsford parade is embarrassing and I sure as hell am not going to Vancouver for theirs so it’s perfect time to just hang out.

We did go to Vancouver and stay at a hotel last year for our 10th. Avoided the crowds and went to some breweries. Was an outstanding time.

 

[DFAC]

I would've been interested a few years ago but apparently he's cooked and has a poor work ethic and is lazy.

Novak and Blais are 2 guys I would look at for our 4th line.

Congrats to you and the wifey

Cause they don’t f*** around and want to get a deal done asap so they can focus on other matters.

Linny and Tuck and Ming Ming too....the wonder pets are here for you. What's going to work.... teamwork! What's going to work..... teamwork!

Poster Just a Lot Angry needs to wind his clock back seven years and say' there's no place like home' ... regardless if it's a trailer in Whaley with a B/W set. Cynical and jaded is a bad process my friend. Get your dusty lungs outside and use your wit in a positive way.

I call a cup by 2027. But I'm a positive man. We all suffered 2015-2022. Jack Gordon traded the best power forward to lace them up for table scraps. I'm an expansion baby that's family had ST for years. We all hurt brother. Smoke some good kush and chill. You have great takes but you've lit you're few remaining strands on fire.

Believe.
