Yup
The Bains over Raty crowd after last preseason game is funny, you don’t get to make the team just because you had one good game after an entire underwhelming camp, vice versa

I mean, they kept the depth guys that can play centre. Bains much like PDG was mostly doomed by all the offseason signings at wing. There was really no room on the wing, especially with Suter switching over and Joshua due back probably within the month. I guess Raty secondarily took Bains spot by moving Suter to the wing, but it was really a positional equation more than anything.
Also, Drance was saying again today how much the organization loves Aman, and that is spot was never in jeopardy.

Well done to Raty. He made huge strides (literally) this offseason.
Even if it's just for a short period of time, it will only motivate him more.

This is completely jarring

When thinking about speed, Forbort and VD aren’t exactly who I’d endorse.
Hoglander being a proof of concept player-development example to show other young players is not an element I considered
That 2021 roster is AFTER we gave up the 9th overall (Guenther) to allegedly be competitive.
I still think that Rathbone Schenn pairing could be something...
Dhaliwal keeps saying it and Allvin specifically mentioned it today. I'm not a fan at all but I can see it making sense closer to the deadline.

If someone gets a Patera Bruins jersey and wears it to a game, it's instantly going to be featured on the Stanchies and social media.

Here's the summary of the Seravalli interview.
League-Wide View:
-admires how aggressive the Canucks management is
-90-95% wouldn't do what the Canucks have done in terms of making trades
-too many teams are risk-averse
-there are teams that are afraid to call other teams because they feel it means they lose leverage; Canucks are not afraid to call
-for example, Walman wasn't shopped around
Boeser:
-turning point was when he said he never wanted to be traded
-next contract, if he scores in the high 30s, is 8-9m
Mid-Tier Contract:
-teams have looked the success of the Golden Knights with a stars and scrubs approach
-was surprised that Hoglander was interested in signing his extension
-thinks his arbitration case would be higher than 2.5m
Wild, Kings, & Red Wings:
-Yzerman will get a longer rope than most due to his legendary status and the difficulty of their division
-thinks Guerin is safe because he has the owner's trust and this is the last year of the big buyouts
-Blake is on the rockiest ground
-Sabres have the longest playoff drought in North American pro-sports
Lindholm:
-Lindholm is their #1 centre
-his contract status last season really affected his play
-wanted to do so much to validate the trade to Vancouver and took him a while to just be himself
-Oilers are very happy that they don't have to play against Lindholm anymore
Swayman:
-roster submission increased the pressure
-didn't think they were that far apart in contract talks
"-too many teams are risk-averse
-there are teams that are afraid to call other teams because they feel it means they lose leverage; Canucks are not afraid to call
-for example, Walman wasn't shopped around"
He's basically calling out Yzerman. It's how Hronek became a Canuck as well.
-there are teams that are afraid to call other teams because they feel it means they lose leverage; Canucks are not afraid to call
-for example, Walman wasn't shopped around"
He's basically calling out Yzerman. It's how Hronek became a Canuck as well.
There was a time when he made moves in TB to move out Drouin, Bishop and futures to get Sergachev, Cernak and McDonaugh.
So, no reason for him to be afraid to make a call to setup a trade. Has a history of making them.
Yzerman has become paranoid. He’s the driving force behind the draft being moved to remote. Thinks other teams are spying on him.
