Etem and Granlund haven't earned anything more than a qualifying offer.

Baertschi should get a bridge deal.

But who knows with JB running the show.

hopefully he beats the record

^ I love how the goalie got beat by 2 different guys on the reaching out from behind the net to tap it in move.

Henrik injured, Vey now centering 1st line

Vey scores

Daniel not helping the tank

We need the third period tank!! :mad:

Tie game

I cheered when Burns tied the game, my dad asked why I cheered lol.

Hammer scores, not helping the tank

Burrows empty netter. Tank fail

So much for that.

Lol thought we wanted to trade Vey

Vey has 5 even-strength points in 28 games, Etem has 5 even-strength points in 21 games. Somehow "earned" their way onto the top line. #WDlogic #Goodforthetank

Henrik traveling back to Vancouver to be evaluated. Tanev to stay with team, but unlikely to play vs. LA.

and it was just reported that WD is going to stay on as head coach for next year...

Not just WD, but the entire coaching staff.

Let's contrast last year to this year.

Last year:
101 points, 8th in the league

This is despite a 2nd unit PP that WD kept together all season and into the playoffs ... that scored 3 (THREE) goals all season. Despite Sbisa being absolutely terrible (thankfully not so much this year) but continuing to get 2nd pairing minutes. Despite constant line change bungles resulting in penalties and odd-man rushes against (that continues this season). All obvious knocks on coaching.

The result:
Eric Crawford (director of player personnel, 17 years with the Canucks) - fired
Lawrence Gilman (assistant general manager, 8 years with the Canucks) - fired
Lorne Henning (vice president of player personnel and assistant general manager, 9 years with the Canucks) - fired
Mike Burnstein (head athletic trainer, 20 years with the Canucks) - fired

This year:
On pace for 79 points, 23rd overall

The result:
Everyone is assured job security with 1/4 of the disaster of a season left! Hurrah! :woot:

if playing vey 23 minutes a night lands us a top 3 pick i wouldnt mind at all :badpokerface:
these guys are playing with their careers on the line, might as well sit back and see if they can do something with all the minutes they receive

I'm not sure what the AHL out clause is, but I'd guess it means he can go back to the KHL if he gets sent to the AHL.

ahl clause will cover two things. if he doesn't make the team next year, is pissed and wants to go to khl instead of ahl. or if hes not having a good time while in the ahl , he can go back. canucks retain his rights though

Talk about Markstrom as the #1 next year... knowing the Canucks Markstrom will be in a another jersey next year LOL

He's marginally outperformed Miller so far this year, has 1/4 the cap hit, and is a decade younger.

Miller: 14-19-8, 2.63 GAA, 91.6 Sv%, 1 SO
Markstrom: 10-8-4, 2.57 GAA, 91.7 Sv%, 0 SO

Markstrom better record, similar overall stats.

Miller: 92.5 ES Sv%, 86.2 PK Sv%
Markstrom: 92.1 ES Sv%, 91.3 PK Sv%

Markstrom substantially better when we're penalty killing, Miller slightly better at even-strength.

Miller
<25 shots/60: 1-1-1, 1.31 GAA, 93.2 Sv%, 1 SO
25-35 shots/60: 10-8-5, 2.37 GAA, 91.5 Sv%, 0 SO
>35 shots/60: 3-10-2, 3.28 GAA, 91.4 Sv%, 0 SO

Markstrom
<25 shots/60: 0-0-0, 0.00 GAA, 100.0 Sv%, 0 SO
25-35 shots/60: 7-5-0, 2.08 GAA, 92.5 Sv%, 0 SO
>35 shots/60: 3-3-3, 3.37 GAA, 90.7 Sv%, 0 SO

Markstrom substantially better with typical loads. Miller better Sv% under heavy loads, but substantially worse record.

Miller: Pulled 2 times
Markstrom: Pulled 0 times
