No, Torts did ($2M x 4 years, $1M/year after he was fired until CBJ hired him).

Willie D's salary was never reported, but he did tell NHL.com that he took less money and term than Pittsburgh offered to come to Vancouver because Vancouver allowed him to pick his assistant coaches.

For what it's worth, Mike Johnston, Pittsburgh's 2nd choice, made $850k/year and Travis Green makes $1M/year, so I'm guessing it's probably in the $1M/year ballpark.

Trotz was making $1.5M/year, would've made $1.8M/year for the next 2 years if he didn't resign. Will likely get double that at least with another team.

he'll have no trouble

The Sens are sending Hoffman out of town. -smart move to get his batshit crazy fiancé away from the team. :lawl:

The Senators traded Hoffman, prospect Cody Donaghey and a fifth-round draft pick in 2020 to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for forward Mikkel Boedker, defenceman Julius Bergman and a sixth-round draft pick in 2020.

Can u tell us if the Islanders are making a video package for Barry Trotz?

Mrs. Luongo and rest of the wives/GF NOT very happy!

Yo Hoffman, break up with her now and don't bring her to Florida. Your teammates might actually welcome you there if you did.

Damn... can I totally fuck up the interpersonal relationships at MY workplace and get shipped to Florida????????

might have been his plan all along, move away from cold ass ottawa and get to a nice warm US city

San Jose would have been alright but now florida....that's a win (he's got money and can stay away form the rest of normal meth infested state)

^ his plan? His ass could have been traded to Winnipeg.

what would you be willing to give up to get Erik Karlsson?

A lot, provided he agrees to immediately sign an extension.

Start w/ Tanev + 7th overall.

Both Sedins:pokerface:

I'm not sold on EK being 100% back to his old self after his last foot surgery. My opinion at least.

Erik Karlsson is 28 years old. Canucks won't be competitive for another 3 to 4 years, no point in bringing him on now.

Benning signed Richard Bachman to a 2 year, 2 way contract.

Vancouver, B.C. - Vancouver Canucks General Manager Jim Benning announced today that the club has signed goaltender Richard Bachman to a two-year, two-way contract.


Bachman, 30, posted a 13-13-5 record with a .902 save percentage and 2.98 GAA in 31 games played with Utica during the 2017.18 season. The 5'10", 175-pound goaltender has played 48 career NHL games, posting a 20-17-2 record, a .906 save percentage and 2.90 GAA.

Bachman originally signed with Vancouver as a free agent on July 1, 2015. He was selected 120th overall by Dallas in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft.

Fine by me - he's a good backup/Utica netminder.

Backup for Utica, Demko likes him.

It was reported that he would head to Europe next season, but I guess he changed his mind.

Great ending to a tremendous career

There's no point bringing in a 28-year-old multiple-time Norris trophy winner?

This team finished in the bottom six 4 of the past 5 seasons. If they need another 3-4 years to be competitive, the entire management team should be shitcanned immediately and then sued by Aquaman for damaging the value of the franchise.

i'm pretty sure where ever he's going, he's getting a 6 to 8 year contract with full NTC. it's not like you can just pluck whatever you need when you need it.

you can also make the argument that having him now will speed up the process

Those twins in the back tho
