Friedman is trolling with this Zadorov talk right lol?

Debrusk for Zadorov? I mostly suggest this as a joke but I have to admit to being pretty concerned with the length and average cap hit of Debrusk's contract based on early returns. He is younger though.

They are players being asked to too often play out of their depth. They weren't bad last year because less was asked of them.

Myers was used a ton last year in the same role. But yeah, maybe losing Ian Cole was worse than expected.

Not in this case. I didn’t double count players. So if they were called up once, that’s it. They’ve just used an unusually large amount of AHLers to start the season due to injury and a bunch of guys being around the same development timeline.

That’s different than call-ups. You’re talking about accrual. Brannstrom and Bains going down on off-days is accrual. Calling players up actually means they accrue less per day.

Also, Canucks are aiming for 5-5.5m at the trade deadline but I think they will end up less with all the injuries.

If they can even get to 4 million that's a big win. You can likely attach a salary like Forbert's to any deal to get up to the 5.5 million mark.

It feels sofa king weird reading your articles while "hearing" them in your HF voice. Does that phrasing make sense to anyone but me?

The whole thing is strange to me.
