Nucks are trying to create salary cap room. How would this help them with that?

If we could get Boeser for someone like Miller, that would be stellar.

I think the commercial said if it’s longer than 4 hours to contact your doctor.

And if you turn it upside down, it’s a forest fire.

Why is this always a thing every off season?

What year was the helmet hit by Ruff? Adam was looking good in 10-11, and was never as good after that. If that hit was at Niagara camp in 11-12, then it may have ruined him.

Or that hit ruined Luke Adam for the rest of his career. ?‍♂️

Who could argue?

You spelled Kym wrong

I thought the consensus was that he was “outdated” from being able to coach in the current game?

Yes, or 2nd liner. Especially with a face off win % that was usually what? Around 45%?

I’d agree. I’d say Vanek was a first line player, Roy a second or third liner. Max could slot anywhere in the top three lines.

Correct. An article about 06-07: ”Miller ended up with 40 wins that year and the team was also led by co-captains Briere (95 points) and Drury (37 goals), and a formidable third line consisting of Vanek (43 goals), Afinogenov (61 points in 56 games) and center Derek Roy (42 assists).“ 43 goals on the 3rd line. That’s just insane.

That contract is fine though, because if he gets hurt in 2 years, they can void the remainder, correct?

IIRC, Vanek-Roy-Afinogenov was a 3rd line Ruff deployed to create mismatches.

I could be wrong, I’m just not seeing what others are. Asplund looks to me ready for a 4th line spot.

This sounds like the family of 6 that was behind me at Dollar Tree tonight. None of them had masks, and they were all standing within inches of me at the register - despite a sign at the door that said everyone is required to wear a mask, and signs showing where to stand at checkout. They clearly didn’t care, and the poor teenager cashier wasn’t gonna enforce anything. When I said something to them, I was ignored.

I guess the question is, what are we targeting for that 8th pick? Someone we hope turns into a Selke contender, when we might be able to grab one now who is only 21? I think he’s very available. We lament not getting JT Miller. Let’s make a serious move if it makes sense. I guess it’s up to Kevyn and Kym.

This would be fun. We could all argue on zoom instead of on here! I am in if @john wawrow is in.

That’s the inherent problem here. If he IS available, other teams can probably offer better than Mitts, 1st, Ryan Johnson (I honestly don’t even know who he is or heard much about him). STL really paid out their butt to get ROR, so what do we need to give up for Rocco?

It’ll be interesting to see which NHL players opt out. The new agreement guarantees players who opt out will still get their playoff bonuses, correct?

I’d have to think with only 7.8 mil to play with, only 15 current contracts and only 3 D-men for next season, they’d be looking to sign both Cernak and Sergachev and trade Cirelli, or only keep one of Cernak or Sergachev and move one and also Cirelli. If anything, maybe they’d be asking for Mitts, Joki, and a 1st.

I agree that Risto has a fair contract. My point was that TBL isn’t in a position to take on a contract like his - they’re going to need to shed money, not take more on.

Id have to think if TBL was going to consider a trade, a Risto contract isn’t something they’d want to take on. They’d want prospects, picks, cheap players.
