Boy there are some great highlights in that pack. It's clear they've lost a step in the last couple years, but they're still pretty damn great at what they do.
vegas allowed to start trading as soon as final payment goes through. that could be in time for tdl, making it a year with more trades than usual (they cant trade for anyone in the nhl/ahl though. only junior/ncaa prospects and players on loan overseas)
Would you trade LV a prospect (lower level) or lower draft pick for thme not to take Sbisa or granlund?
Can't believe I'm saying that. haha
In 2000, this is what SJ had to trade to protect Nabokov. Most will think fuck, that's a good deal. But this was Nabokov who only had 11games of NHL experience, and was seen as a good prospect. not a full time starter
Columbus
1. Jan Caloun who was a good f prospect putting up over a ppg in the ahl and a ppg in his time in the nhl
2. a ninth-round pick in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft
3. [conditional pick in the 2001 NHL Entry Draft
Minnesota
1. Andy Sutton
2. seventh-round pick in the 2000 Entry Draft
3. third-round pick in the 2001 Entry Draft
The NHL now has a salary cap, is based on younger players, and LV's owner wants to compete asap. The price will be much higher.
I expect the following protected:
7f: sedin, sedin, eriksson, sutter, horvat, hansen, baertschi (rodin, virtanen exempt)
3d: tanev, edler, gudbranson (hutton, tryamkin, subban, stetcher exempt)
1g: markstrom
exposed:
min. 2 f: granlund, guance, dorsett?(depends on injury)
min. 1 d: sbisa, biega(after 1 more game)
min. 1g:bachman
basically they are either taking granlund or sbisa. unless McPhee needs the grit, leadership and punching bag material in dorsett. If we really wanted to protect granlund I wouldn't give anything more than a package of the following prospects: mceneny, olson, sautner, labate. Even then that allows us to go out and replace those meh prospects with possibly better NCAA ones
I can see McPhee trying to gamble with benning and say "if you give subban/gaudette/lockwood etc, ill take sbisa and you get 3.6mil cap"

PS> I miss Ohlund Best Canuck D ever?
Agreed, so awesome to watch. I will never forget sports radio getting lit up with they'll never be anything more then 3rd line checker calls for the first couple years they were in the league. The chemistry between those two is unmatched.

after these next 7 games I expect the canucks to be 5th last in points per game. they are at 1.02 currently, 4 teams at 1.00. all of those teams have easier schedules than the canucks
Lol i feel sorry for people who watched this game.
Decided to just listen to the game while playing video games. The team sounds just as bad as it looks.
I think i can pretty much start to skip games and they'll all more or less play out the same as long as Willie is coach.
