We turned down Klefblom, Bouchard and the 14th overall..Bouchard, Lavoie, 14 OA, 2021 1st and Russell
is this still the analogy.. your logic is so clearly flawed
Maybe do a little research and see how else our owner makes money on the arena. Yes the panthers lose money but he doesn’t.
A smart businessman does not fire-sale his assets that have long-term value unless he has a liquidity crisis and cannot afford it. Ekblad provides an incredible amount of value for his contract as compared to say Stralman.That’s kinda my entire point, my Finnish friend. When the team is in the red you need to cover the costs, so he’s actually eating into his profits by doing so. A smart businessman will eventually cut free from the anchor.
This debate with you will lead to nowhere, you will defend him and I won't.
Could they be in the mix for Pietrangelo?
That could be the only reason I could think for trading Ekblad, but even then I'm not so happy about: we'd be getting older and more expensive when we have Barkov/Huberdeau coming up for extensionsIf they traded him they would.
We bring it up to explain why rare players aren't reasonably traded for packages; we tried many times to explain it without examples but it seems like examples work bestI’m not sure why draisaitl is involved in any conversation here. He is firmly ingrained in this community and lives and breathes hockey. I’m not sure he would be excited to play for a market like sunrise.
Hope you kept the same energy from the wacky drai + 1st for ekblad proposal lol. Anyways, I think if he wants to compete and play in full arenas, he should come back home somewhere in canada.To all who are inclined to have a young , well rounded RHD on the rise on a good contract. Draft your own guy and put in the years to maybe, possibly, have him turn out to be better than average and stay healthy also. Some of these proposals are just poor from the start. You don't get something for nothing.
What would you consider Erikssons deal? A ripe tomatoWith Matheson being one of the worst contracts in the NHL, could they be looking to package him with Ekblad?
From a Canucks perspective, I would be able to stomach Matheson if we could get Ekblad on a cheaper deal.
To Fla:
Boeser
Stecher
Eriksson
To Van:
Ekblad
Matheson
You think Draisaitl is worth less than Ekblad. At that point the outside factors don’t even matter because their values aren’t even close.No it's not because you changed it. And then you accuse me of changing it. How dare you. Just take a deep breath, collect your thought and possibly try again.

And maybe he can watch the Stanley Cup awarded to another sunbelt team from loonie Canada for another 27 years aye?Hope you kept the same energy from the wacky drai + 1st for ekblad proposal lol.

Eriksson is only owed $5m in real cash for the next 2 years while retaining a $6m cap hit. It is actually a valuable contract for a team looking to cut costs.What would you consider Erikssons deal? A ripe tomato
Heck Barkov and Ekblad are the last players that Florida would move. This is getting reallyLmao, line every rumor from up north, I’ll wait for confirmation down here. There was a rumor we were cutting cap space from up north that was false
Unless Marner can play Center and you're assuming that we're signing Pietrangelo, then please don't whine when people give TOR fans shit bc of their solipsism. Even if we swapped Ekblad for Marner to play 2C and signed Pietro at 9m x 7y, we're still taking on an ungodly amount of cap that would make even my own caveats untenable--let alone your original nonsense.
Sure: Just not elite enough to make it worth it. Bouchard is a good prospect, but not a clear top pairing defenseman on expectation. Florida already has a pick there.
Your offer makes sense if we are rebuilding. Otherwise we need an overpayment.
Dude if Florida deals Ekblad, It's not going to be for a player making $3.4 million more then him. If Ekblad is truly on the market then ownership is probably cutting some cap not taking more on.A Marner - Ekblad swap as a basis interests me
So he’s going to cut the Panthers and not get any money? I’m not sure you understand. It’s all or nothing.That’s kinda my entire point, my Finnish friend. When the team is in the red you need to cover the costs, so he’s actually eating into his profits by doing so. A smart businessman will eventually cut free from the anchor.
