If you are using that line of thinking then trading Jared McCann and a first for Gudbrandson 23-year-old six foot four, drafted third overall who came off a good year in Fla was a good trade. Too bad it didn't work out.


Booth scored 26 goals over three years and 41 pts

Good point.

I always laughed at Lefty when he over and over referred to trading McCann as trading a 1st round pick away. Funny how he only uses that logic for one side of it ignoring that Gudbranson was a 3rd overall. So either they are both players or both 1st round picks with Guddy being the 3rd overall....

Lefty is a spin doctor.... or more like a spin quack....

The internet chatter, on top of all the other garbage, is that Boudreau is purposefully trying to make Kuzmenko’s next contract lower by making sure he doesn’t score more. No PP1 time (Boeser instead), Not out with the net empty (Pederson/Lazar instead).

Ya, this makes no sense at all. Bruce wants to win, Bruce is on his way out.... Bruce isnt going to sacrifice anything for these clown running the office.

What a lovely win. 10-15 OA in the draft on track.

100 million Mexicans cannot be wrong. Siestas are fine.

As a subject matter expert, is it OK if I have afternoon naps, even though I am still just a young fella?

Tocchet bump will have us picking like 10th or 11th I'm guessing

I'm thinking if BB goes before the end of the season that we'll see the team never win another game in regulation and end up 3rd or 4th OA since no one is catching Chicago and Arizona for the very bottom.

dare to dream

Time for the poop-show Canucks to get their asses handed to them! Go Carolina! Hopefully Montreal can beat the Rangers.

Canucks are notorious at not giving what you expect. So enjoy the games they have talent just no discipline and many defensive lapses.

One can hope

If lucky to get a Tage Thompson yes.

Thompson was in the orielly deal.

Holy fuck.

Bo should be getting 9.5 million, based on this contract alone.

If Tocchet comes in and fixes the defensive game they’ll lose 3-2 instead of 5-4?

Podkolzin be like, cha-ching 🤩

Edit, Wild certainly banking on future production. It could look like a bargain in a couple/few years.

Ya, that is a mind-boggling deal. He has a whopping 12 goals, this season.

Kuzmenko is smiling about that contract.

He’s probably a $5m guy, but they’re buying UFA years (2, maybe 3), so he gets a bump. He’s probably going to be over paid for 2+ years and then it will flip when he hits 24/25. But yeah, our pending UFAs are licking their chops.

How can any management group in the league argue that Kuzmenko isn't worth at minimum 7 million, or Horvat isn't at minimum, a 9 million dollar player?
I have watched a few games of Boldy, he reminded me of Jake Virtanen.

Dodged a bullet. Glad we have Pod developing down in the AHL

Yup, trade trade trade.

Marek/Friedman repeating that Canucks are looking for players that can step in and take roster spots right away in a Horvat deal.

This franchise is so disappointing, on so many levels.

It is another contract being signed a year earlier than necessary, just because a team burnt a season to sign a player, out of college.

Why the heck did the Canucks have to join the league, right when I became a hockey fan?
