Confirmed Trade: [CHI/VAN] Ilya Mikheyev (15% retained), Sam Lafferty, 2027 2nd round pick for 2027 4th round pick

[Slapshot_11]

You guys are all fukin losers. Just the most obnoxious individuals I have ever seen. Media and posters. I hope nothing but terrible things for your absolute shit loser franchise that hasn't won anything

I'd be mad too if I had Nurse blocking my teams chances of winning the cup

 

[bringbacktheskate604]

And they still have to go through Vegas or Edmonton. When Connor garland looks like your most clutch player, you're in big trouble

You mean the teams we finished ahead almost wire to wire?
Oilers won't be adding any big pieces while Vancouver most certainly will be.

Congrats on almost winning a cup sadly it means no more than that cup or bust right? So bust it is.
And since you came here to totally deviate from the topic at hand cuz you just can't help yourself, including a long ban not stopping you here's a simple truth.
It wouldn't matter if you had Skinner or pickard, a healthy Demko is far supiour to them and if it goes seven with Silovs with a one goal loss and with every game but one decided by one goal, common sense says Demko wouldn't have had an 877sv% and it's a very different series.
It's really too bad Drai was a no show all finals and 97's back finally broke in game seven.
Props to him tho I've never seen one player carry a team like that before.

One goal away from beating Edmonton with a 3rd string goalie, Vegas is a much scarier team to face.

At least Vegas could beat Florida...

Why is that 10 year old, disgruntled Coilers fan so angry over the Mikheyev trade?

Must be up past his bedtime. Somebody get that kid a warm bottle of milk, and a blanky

 

[Buresflyingelbow]

Use the Myers reported money and Cap savings here and bring back Tanev. Resign big Z and add Guentzel. Look for a Edmunson or Dillon

 

[platotld]

Why you heff to be mad

 

[McHelpus]

Rinse in repeat in canuck land. Get capspace, spend it all on overrated players, then dump them all with future picks, then sign more overrated players.

Hopefully Lindholm and Zadorov get huge pay raises, it aint cheap living in Vancouver lmaoo

 

[Schennanigans]

The Canucks are in a fantastic position moving forward. Good time for Canucks fans.

 

[Three On Zero]

Mikheyev will score 80 on a line with Bedard and the Canucks will regret this !

Like OEL, I think this confirm that Chicago will win the cup next year with Mikheyev getting the CS

They're upset that the Canucks had to drop 40 spots in the 2027 draft to move Mikheyev while the Oilers are stuck with Nurse until 2032.

Canucks are on his mind 24/7

Pretty sad

Zadorov was f***ing massive in the playoffs. Everyone plays an inch taller when he's on the ice.

Big Z was the best all around defenceman in the Oilers series, the guy came up big on both ends of the ice.

If you can get him for about 4-5 years at around 5 million, it would be perfect

 

[Buresflyingelbow]

You can paper down a Bains on an opening night roster and once the season starts you can LTIR Poolman. That’s the $700k retention taken care of.

Lindholm isn't coming back

 

[bringbacktheskate604]

Who's expecting toffoli to sign for 4x4? He's been over 30 goals in each of the last 2 seasons, and he was top 10 in the league with 28 in 52 in the shortened season. He would sign for less than you guys gave mikheyev?

He also left Vancouver on bad terms, which may be better due to the GM change, but everyone was saying ownership was calling shots, and they haven't changed.

I saw it on one of those contract models. He 34 he's likely getting similar to his previous contract plus 4 years is a way to keep it down.

Toffoli leaving was all Benning. He had been laser focused on the OEL trade. Far as I know owners weren't the reason Toffoli was let go.

Even at 5×3 they could still make that happen along with Jake . 7 million should be enough for Dillon and Tanev but maybe I'm way off but if there's two guys that might take a little less is the local boy Dillon and Tanev but I have no evidence to back it up except it's no secret Tanev never wanted to leave and specifically asked to be included in the Lindholm deal and almost was.

Not long now before we find out.

Why you heff to be mad

He's pulling a Gazic. That's gotta be ban #2 over a nucks thread

 

[Raistlin]

I would be mad because Myers basically destroyed their only cup chance by crushing Drai's ribs, and Canucks is now shaping up to be their biggest obstacle in the last possible year they can be a contender, they just match up really well against the way they play.

Vegas is always going to be a problem, but I doubt Stone will ever play 100% over 4 rounds, and without him, they are not favorites. Avs lost Byram and Nichushkin, two playoff beasts, and got Mittelstat back, they are a lot less menacing. Dallas is the one I will worry about plus whomever comes out of the east.

 

[Russian_fanatic]

Welcome back Zaddy and Tanev.

This opens up room for Guentzel and then some.

Lekkerimaki and Willander should change this narrative.

The only top western conference team that isn't threatening at this point is Winnipeg.

Hellebuyck being 2-8-0 in his last two postseasons (10 games) with .878 s% and 4.34 GAA is absolutely brutal.

Lekkerimaki and Willander should change this narrative.

Feeling my bones turn to dust as Hughes/Pettersson/Boeser become the "older" core whilst the young guys come up

That guy has meltdowns semi regularly, you’ll get used to it

 

[Buresflyingelbow]

I think we have the 3rd most Cap space this offseason now with our biggest RFA signed.

Also, I don’t believe a work Frank. S says as he’s wrong on everything Vancouver.

 

[trellaine201]

Canucks have around

CAP SPACE WITH LTIR CANDIDATES

: $20,790,833​

People are posting they have $28M lol

 

[WarriorofTime]

Aside from whatever else in this Dump with a 2nd deal (Dickinson was good to the Hawks on the last one of these), I hope they're able to sign Lafferty. He's a good fit, possibly a guy you keep, possibly a guy you can flip again at TDL.
