I'll give credit to alvin for identifying the teams needs and signing bottom 6 forwards to a good contract. Mikheyev worked out too, he just gotta stay healthy. Then we also have Pearson, he shouldve also been traded when he had value last year.

I don't know if it was expected to be higher for next season, but should be for the next couple after that.

I think a few weeks ago a rumor came out suggesting that it would be higher for next season than previously thought but obviously that didn't turn out.

yeah the rumor made it sound like it was going up a couple million
seems thats not the case though

All depends on the escrow

Holy fuck, what a nightmare. Sounds like 5 guys are going to get the book thrown at them, deservedly. Fuck Formenton


“In her interview with Det. Newton, E.M. said that she saw an older, well-dressed man hanging around Player 1 and his friends at Jack’s. In the application, he is referred to as M.M. and identified as a person whose “occupation” requires him to attend “functions such as this.” E.M. told police this man was complimenting Player 1 and told E.M. to “take care of him.” She said he was buying rounds for the group and at one point poured a Jägerbomb shot in her mouth.”

This a coach or an exec? Wtf

Apparently everyone on the canucks is available, as only Petey is the untouchable. Although they did note that if Hughes is getting traded, it will be for a mammoth return. Ironically, if Petey says fuck this team/org and leaves, it would be the most hilarious shit ever.

Roster is somehow softer than the Sedins era. That roster should be torn down and rebuilt from scratch aside from Hughes tbh.

Agree, but they won't rebuild sadly

Aqualini is easily one of the worst owners ever in the NHL. He wants to win for his dad before he passes away, so his logic is always try for it. Had he listened to Linden, mayyyyyyyybe our team NOW would be close to contending, or the very least better than the trash we got right now. Alvin/JR are trying to re-tool on the fly, instead of rebuilding just like Benning haha.
I never seen a most 2 faced franchise before, says 1 thing does the other. First JR says that this core is solid but the rest surrounding them is trash, now they're saying core is trash need to change it up
At least Benning was a consistent yes man, but holy these guys are like trolling saying everything you need to hear, but then they go and do the most Benning thing ever. Alvin is literally a puppet, his recent interview was a whole lot of waste of time, he answers questions without answering them. That's some GG skill

Patrick Kane is healthy and not wanting to play

that must impact the trade return
