That's because the PP is static. Same strategy, same players every fucking time. Extremely easy to coach against when you know exactly what they're going to do every time.

The only thing they've improved on is their zone entries ... in 3 years ...

What? You're telling me other teams caught onto the deadly drop pass that the Canucks invented?

I think every time you want to use the troll face, you should just use one of these instead:

.

they cant. he has 2-3mil in bonuses he will hit that the team that trades for him will have to pay, fucking themselves over. I don't see him getting traded for much, unless to Toronto or Ottawa

also seems gaudette wants to stay another year in college. might go ufa way

Melnyk is notoriously cheap. No way he shells out for bonuses on a rental.

Vrbata's salary is only $1m this year... and including all bonuses so far he's still only at $2m, if the team makes the playoffs he gets another 500k

$2.5m isn't a bad deal for a 45-50pt vet, not to mention Coyotes can retain salary

true, I forgot about melnyk lmao

"If Vrbata plays 30 games $500,000 in bonuses. If he reaches 20 goals or 40 points he’ll earn another $500,000. Also can add up to 1,250,000 more in play-off performance bonuses."

they cant retain on bonuses. they are paid by whatever team has him at the end of the season not by arz if they trade him

that college rule is horse shit and should really be fixed

there should be some kinda compensation to the team that drafted college players who decide to remain in college and go to UFA

last thing we need is losing a needed blue chip prospect for nothing

well, they are going to push to sign him this year.. but yea, he hates Vancouver lol.

Where da trade rumours at?

Source?

that article on the province makes it seem like they want him to stay in college for one more year and bulk up/get stronger

twitter noise also makes it seem like he's got no interest in signing with Van but this is all noise and totally unconfirmed

either way, my hopes aren't very high on the Canucks landing him...imo, best move is to sign him now (after college season) and burn that year off his ELC cus letting him go back to college is a huge risk

" the only thing I hate more than a canadian, is a canuck"

its been speculated he will hold out for bruins.

aquilini and linden headed to la today to try to finalize the games with la in china for next year

Source?

lol at quoting and not leaving a link

pls go

^
come at me brah.


cant quote his tweets bashing Vancouver after he deleted it all to avoid media questions. its well known that he went after Vancouver a lot on twitter.

also millers list

from the Kuzma article

Gaudette will probably stay at NE another year. If he decides to stay another year after next year then that's where we should all be worried about losing him for nothing.

Also, Kings placed their goalie Zatkoff on waivers today.

LA put zatkoff on waivers today which could mean quick might be coming back off IR or that miller could get traded to LA if quick isn't ready...

Thats not entirely true. If he can grad by june of next year, he only has to wait until aug 16th to become a ufa. he can quit school in jan in his 4th year and be a ufa at the beginning of feb 2018
