Canucks & NHL News, Rumours, and & Fantasy GM | LOOKS LIKE GRUB IS BACK ON THE MENU, BOYS!

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Last one was over 1,000. Continue here.

EDIT:

Stickying this OP with the fantastic news from Grub!

Boys please remove this damn thread, I survived. I'm already in remission and the doctors said early this month that the prognosis is good. So remove this shit, back here and so forever grateful. I'd lost faith but the doctors in Singapore did a damn good job. They've send me home with the medicine, couldn't die on my kids. So still kicking, hopefully I make a full recovery and will be healthy forever. What a terrible experience it felt like I was dreaming, but I never gave up.

Go Canucks go!

I would think that IF management wanted to trade EP they would need to get buy-in from the Aquilini's, and I think in order to get buy-in from them management would have to show some kind of cause that led them to this course of action. They just made a huge financial commitment to EP, for them to agree to reverse course this quickly after signing him would be a huge red flag IMO.

saw the sabres in-person on saturday... kulich is definitely a better target than cozens.

this is a dumb simplification, but for a defense corps with dahlin (who is genuinely a stud), power, and byram... buffalo's d is kind of meh. not just defensively, but i wasn't too impressed with how they create offense either. might be lindy ruff as the issue, and i'm sure power will grow into an excellent defenseman. but i can see why buffalo fans aren't hugely enamoured there.

that said, i doubt power is on the table, at all.

using the necas rumour as a comparable, would guess they've offered something like byram + peterka + zucker (salary / former penguin / always rumoured) or kulich + mcleod + jokiharju

Sign and trades happen more often than you think...granted this is a different circumstance, and other players/executives know that we essentially gave him a handshake NMC. You can't really mess around like that without making future UFAs second guess signing with you (though I guess getting immediate clauses nixes that worry.)

The return on EP will be much better than on Miller, both now and in the summer. But the return on Miller will get considerably better if they move EP before the deadline and let things calm down.

They just made a huge financial commitment to EP, for them to agree to reverse course this quickly after signing him would be a huge red flag IMO.

I think they recognized how much leverage EP had and used specific tactics to remove his leverage. Part of that was getting him to commit long term and knowing they had the window to evaluate options as a failsafe. Now you no longer HAVE to move him as soon as possible.

Edit: well I think the below trumps what I just had to say.

Simply the best news, better than anything hockey related. What a difficult journey you have been through. Your reward is your family. And being a Canucks fan (sorry--it can't all be sweet).

Quite a plot twist here. Rumors of his demise were greatly exaggerated.
