Should remake the rules where the team who signs him will have to surrender a draft pick based on the round that player was drafted in.

or how about he has to play for the team that drafts him for at least one year once out of school

lol Jiri Hudler apparently close to signing
Canucks one of the favorites along with the Hawks


I'd be ok with a short term deal, Dim Jim might even be able to flip him at the deadline

The only thing dim Jim can flip at the deadline is a sushi into his mouth.

The same thing has been said for over a month now

but it's actually close, like could sign any moment between now and October close
:lawl:


there was also another rumour that Canucks were interested in Jimbo's nephew who's a dman with Northeastern University

didn't even know he had nephew playing lol
but right hand dman putting up ok points in the NCAA

:notbad:

Matthew Benning hockey statistics and profile at hockeydb.com

Sportsnet writer Luke Fox gives the Canucks virtually no chance of making the playoffs for this upcoming season.

An Olympic related quote from the article: " And Vancouver is like the runner who rounds the bend in eighth place and still thinks he can catch Usain Bolt." :considered:

6 non-playoff teams with the best shot to return in 2017 - Sportsnet.ca

Montreal, Boston, Winnipeg, Ottawa, Calgary, and Colorado are picked as the six non playoff teams with the best shot to return to the post season.

lol Brandon Plug signs a PTO with the leafs


what a waste of a 5th round pick

^worst fucking trade ever! Sames goes for the shink trade....upside of that shink trade is he can potentially lost to the expansion draft because calgary won't be able to protect him

Good to see the only delusional person is AQ

Virtanen looks so out of shape with that gut of his. Seems obvious that the Sedins and Burrows calling him out to the media did nothing.

Looks like Jake will have a heavier shot next season.

fixed

:troll:

he's bulking brah

Too much time in Hollywood, not enough time in the gym.

But then again, Phil Kessel is a Cup champ so whatever...

what's going to happen when Kessel retires? Gary Roberts has his boot camp. Is Kessel going to host a fat camp for talented, lazy fucks? lol

Remember Cody Hodgson going to the Roberts camp and how well that turned out?

:lol

fitness level isn't able to compensate for overbearing parents and a player who (allegedly) whined for top minutes all the time lol.

It still boggles my mind how Kessel is so dynamic with his body type.


Truly an elite talent.

Have you seen Ovie?

just think how good he would be if he actually put in off ice work

lol aaaaaaand Hudler finally signs...

with Dallas for a 1 year $2M contract

Ovie looks like he's built like a tank. He's not Adonis as you suggest but you can tell the dude is packing a ton of muscle.

Kess on the other hand looks like an everyday beer leaguer. He's one of my favourite players because of this.

He did this last season and won a cup :thumbs:

(recall he hooked up with Gary Roberts in the off-season)

don't know what JB's plan b is but if he thinks he is going to trade for a top 6 forward I don't see it happening? What could we offer that other teams would want?

All our picks lol
God forbid, our up and coming.

I will pretty much lose my shit and not watch a game if they ever go that route for a band aid top 6.
