Grub's Canucks & NHL News, Rumours, and & Fantasy GM | Trade Winds Coming Early

I can see why the Blue Jackets would want Hoglander, he fits their short guy obsession. Look at these tiny guys on their AHL team:

Grimaldi - 5'6
Fix-Wolanksy - 5'7
Brildey - 5'8
Ahcan - 5'9
Malatesta - 5'9

I want to see CBJ ice all these guys in a game.

There are so many good names that we can target all of a sudden with the Rangers struggling and Detroit looking to shake things up again.

I wanna see Buffalo fall off also, lots of good names there also, and the senators.

I feel bad for Senators fans, but the management team deserves this disaster of a season after hiring Travis Green of all people. Anyone with half a brain out here in Vancouver could’ve told you that was a disaster, especially with the quality alternative head coaches available. They’re in the playoffs this year with a competent coach.

Watch them give up Brady this offseason, and someone with a competent coach and leadership group will transform him from a cry baby into their JT Miller.

OOTL, really been focused on my music lately. What's the deal with Miller, why's his name out there? More to his absence or just a target that got leaked?

Pretty weak return for Jiricek. Especially compared to Gauthier and McGroarty.

Bro in my mind Waddell's still GM of the Canes for whatever reason. Probably has to do with the above lol. Thrashers' had a great set of kits, I thought. I just complimented some dude at my work for even having one. Logo wasn't my favourite but wasn't enough to sink them for me. That style of uni really f***s.

Would be Hoglander + 1st I’m guessing for Provorov. I’ve never been a fan of the player but would still be an upgrade. Just has to be with an extension. Can’t afford more rentals.

I rather lose a player to free agency than to extend one with a bad contract. I have no problem with management walking away from Lindholm last summer. Had we signed him to the rumored 7x7 deal, it would've been an anchor that will sit on our book for a decade (you know he is going to get bought out somewhere along the way).

Yeah, but then you go look at what I've called peak-OEL theory which basically tosses the middle buyout years to the gods. Which is stupid in it's own wise little way.

Quinn Hughes is Quinn Hughes, but like cap goes up regardless we still got the $4.5 or whatever as a competitive disadvantage. That's always gonna be a huge huge huge deal for us moving forward. Basically pray some ELC guys pop hard when they, uh, bust out? I guess? Otherwise just ship as many out for the short-run hopium. I've done basically a decade of fan purgatory, what's another?
