The Official 2024/2025 Canucks & NHL Thread

Bruins would need to retain 20% plus salary for the next 5 years. Probably not happening.

[spoon.ek9]

It's been discussed before and no one thinks it makes any sense. Our problems are on the right side, not the left. Also, we already gave up assets last year to acquire him, we really shouldn't give up any more for him to come back. Bruins won't be willing to retain enough salary for it to be feasible for us either. As much as we all loved having Big Z, it made total sense for the Canucks to let him walk.

with Hronek injured, of course.

-latest update about Hronek from GM Allvin:

Hronek underwent a successful lower body procedure and will not require surgery on his upper body injury. Hronek will be out approximately eight weeks.

Man I hope Miller comes back soon... there are so many ugly rumors floating around all the industry insiders lately I wish it would be put to rest. Everything from him wanting to be traded from Van and trade rumors with NYR as a result to infidelity with a teammates wife. Crazy days in Canuckville these days.

[spoon.ek9]

I believe Dhali reported that there is no trade in the works. Just a rumour. Teams might be calling to check in about Miller with the Canucks but our team isn't putting him on the block or anything of the sort. I swear, this market just wants the juicy scoop and will start any damn rumour to try and get some clout regardless of how this might hurt the player and/or the team.

Rumours about infidelity are always a go-to when it comes to players. Until I see a player personally confirm such a story, I'm not inclined to believe the media or "insiders" about it. Most will never put their name beside such claims.

I think the Miller rumour about him being too hard on his teammates and generally being difficult to be around might be on the money. When he left, Allvin said he’d “come back as a better player and teammate.” He got into it with Petey at practice and now look how Petey’s performed since Miller left.

He’s a bit of an asshole. That’s part of what makes him great. That can also be draining in the locker room if he’s always so intense.

Anyhoo, that’s the rumour that I believe.

[bobbinka]

wow, are you kidding me? No call on that hit on Sherwood??

[pastarocket]

Tough loss in OT. Boeser’s shot hits a post on a two on nothing.

Kaprizov scores the winner.


Lankinen gets his first loss in a road game.

That OT could have went either way plus the blatant trip on Garland went uncalled

Ya. Was it Tocchet mention Miller plays better when he is pissed or angry? But I dunno if that is good for him all the time. Always turning into the Hulk for 82 games can wear you out lol.

[spoon.ek9]

They did better than I expected. Usually at the end of a long road trip they phone it in with a sloppy loss. This was a real solid effort!

That was CRAZY that it wasn't called or even suspendable.. left his feet and targeted the head with an elbow. Could have done him in for either one.

yet the goon Quinn Hughes gets a game misconduct

[teggy604]

There is a simple solution. Just make it no contact sport. You still have the slashing, hooking, tripping, icing, offsides calls. Any hit is going to be questionable because of the speed these players are going.

[bobbinka]

4 Nations rep:
Hughes and Miller for USA
Pettersson for Sweden
Lanks for Finland
Tocchet for Canada

I mean, the Minnesota game is a writeoff from the start anyway, long-time Canuck hater Kelly Sutherland was the ref. You could get rich betting against the Canucks in any game he's officiating of theirs.

[pastarocket]

The Rangers trade their captain to the Ducks.

TSN's Pierre LeBrun reported this trade:

Trouba to the Ducks in exchange for D-man Urho Vaakanainen and fourth round pick.

Then the Rangers gave an 8 year contract extension to Shesterkin.

11.5 million per year.

A busy day for that team.

[68style]

Not bad, Trouba is terrible

[Hondaracer]

Sounds like another 80% rangers team that will sniff at the cup but not win

11.5 on your goalie is crazy, Bob was a fluke on a team with players outperforming their value
