I've read rumors that BA is looking into Pettersson and Provorov. Anyone hear about anyone else?
Hope he's smart enough to avoid the 1st one.I've read rumors that BA is looking into Pettersson and Provorov. Anyone hear about anyone else?
Time to move on from Bjugstad and Carcone. Kerfoot I like.I don't foresee any adding for a playoff run no matter what. Armstrong is careful with his words and everything sounds like any move made will be with an eye to the future and as a long-term addition. It might be dressed up as adding for marketing/media purposes, but it has to make sense beyond this season.
If on the outside, Bjugstad, Kerfoot, and Carcone are the forward UFAs post-season. Don't think there's a huge need to try and move them. Firstly, the return isn't going to be fantastic and they already have a fair number of picks/prospects stockpiled. Assuredly they'd start packaging these at the draft to move up. Secondly, there isn't much depth to move up to the NHL. Doan is up now due to Guenther being out and I'd keep him over Carcone. You'd be dithering between O'Brien and Carcone for the last slot, maybe calling up Yamamoto, but realistically don't see a benefit to pulling anyone up from the AHL.
I expect But and Doan to be on the team next season. If not traded, I'd see if Kerfoot/Bjugstad are keen to re-sign. Carcone can be looked at dependent on those decisions. He's ultimately going to be an in-betweener and might just take a better opportunity elsewhere before waiting on Utah's decision/offer.
What's wrong with Pettersson?Hope he's smart enough to avoid the 1st one.
Massive contract, regressing, and a real crybaby when questioned by anyone.Time to move on from Bjugstad and Carcone. Kerfoot I like.
What's wrong with Pettersson?
We need 70% of our remaining possible points to reach 95 points and make the playoffs. We are more likely to be sellers then buyers at the TDL, but hey if we win at a 70% clip we would be the second best team in the NHL, so if we get in, we will be on fire, so thats the good partMassive contract, regressing, and a real crybaby when questioned by anyone.
So you say there's a chance.....We need 70% of our remaining possible points to reach 95 points and make the playoffs. We are more likely to be sellers then buyers at the TDL, but hey if we win at a 70% clip we would be the second best team in the NHL, so if we get in, we will be on fire, so thats the good part
What do you think a PPG player should get? The cap is going up again, so that contract might look pretty good in as little as two years. Is his regression this year him, or is it the surroundings of what is all happening around him? As far as a real cry baby I can't comment on that, but I doubt if that concerns any GM if that is true.Massive contract, regressing, and a real crybaby when questioned by anyone.
100 percent BA fault.i hope Smith first question is was this year part of your plan? Second question what could you have done differently?We need 70% of our remaining possible points to reach 95 points and make the playoffs. We are more likely to be sellers then buyers at the TDL, but hey if we win at a 70% clip we would be the second best team in the NHL, so if we get in, we will be on fire, so thats the good part
Today we are six pts. out of the second wildcard position. I thought that is where we should have ended up last year, but if Utah can end up there this year I would be fine with that. But if they stumble like last year and we end up more than 8-10 pts. out of the wild card position I would call the year a failure. Last year we were 21 pts. from a wild card position.We need 70% of our remaining possible points to reach 95 points and make the playoffs.

He is what is happening around the Canucks, that's the part you seem to be missing. It started with his pouting over social media and now it's Miller didn't treat him well. He's a crybaby. He is the 5th highest paid player in the League. For that I expect an alpha dog who leads tge team into battle, not a crybaby who shrinks when the going gets tough. Points aren't tge only factor but if it's just points I want to be between $8 and $9 million for a point a game player.What do you think a PPG player should get?

The last spot is Vancouver on an 89 point pace, that won't be enough to get in, it will be closer to 95/96 points historically. We are on an 82 point pace, thats a 4 point improvement and still 15 points out, even if its 7 points out, thats not good enough, not enough improvement.Today we are six pts. out of the second wildcard position.

I don't see a mid season trade for a 1C, BA takes forever on big trades, maybe this summer, of course then there will be many suiters. I do agree, he might be a head case, need to be careful of that, might not have the mental make up BA would desire.He is what is happening around the Canucks, that's the part you seem to be missing.

He could go down as greatest player in team history but at the cost to acquire and risk from contract there is no way I make such a deal. I would rather add a 2/3 center and a D Man if that's achievableI don't see a mid season trade for a 1C, BA takes forever on big trades, maybe this summer, of course then there will be many suiters.

I don't watch the Canucks, just going on the info I read.
