I think the hats are owned by Molson’s plenty of money I can see Aquilini working the concession stands trying to make a couple of bucks to pay Sedins salary,
It’s not all about money it’s the Tkachuk/USA thing. Quit Hughes another example. This is nothing new Ryan Kesler did the same thing, it’s just more rampant now. Winning a cup on a Canadian team is a longshot, that also plays into this.

No best players in the world are coming to Vancouver uless it is Celebrini. I would lower expectations. Canadian hockey is going to take a kick to the nuts in the next few years.
I agree. Montreal is doing pretty good with it’s young players but time will tell if their young stars ask for a trade to less traditional, higher income US market.
Celebrini/Bedard would be huge for the Vancouver market. They should just be coming out of the rebuild by then.
The good news is he isn’t eligible for an offer sheet July 1st so they can see how his season is going and wait.

I would pump the brakes a little. I like the Kid but he has 6 goals 20 pts in two years. We have signed enough anchor contracts in the past and we don’t need to keep adding to the pile.
Canadian teams are going to be having a huge disadvantage with the salary cap and the 40% differential in the dollar. Add to that the cost of living. I don’t see a Canadian team having huge success for many year. Elite players wanting to head to the tax free states like Fla Texas.
Buium will probably want to move on in five years.
Our owner is one of the cheapest fuckers in sports and as you can see he is not investing a lot of money anywhere.Canuck fans should get use to having Swedes on the team and players from BC that care about the Canucks.
Fuck the Swedes, enough!

You’d hope this won’t happen, but the way players are entitled these days. Is it only a matter of time before Zeev want’s to play in the USA? Nothing you can do about the new trend, hopefully he turns into a top pair D and if that’s the case trade him for a boatload of assets like they did with Quit Hughes.
When Buium’s parents immigrated to the U.S. from Israel in 1999 they settle and still remain in San Diego, where Zeev was born, so being a West Coast kid might be favorable for the Canucks in terms of him wanting to remain in Vancouver. If he turns into something special and he wants to go back to the U.S. then just get a good return for him, I mean, the Canucks got an absolute haul for Quinn Hughes.

What do you guys think is going to happen with the Buium contract? If they were willing to give him big bucks and lock him down for 8 years, I think it would have been done by now. This is a tough one. Has he shown enough for that? Is it too risky to give him shorter term opening the door for a much bigger pay day and closer to UFA? Is it best to wait out the most of or all of the season to get a better idea?
He has a ton of skill and is only 20. His age is a valid excuse for and defensive flaws we’ve seen to a certain degree… then there was how bad the team was. He has lots of time to work on the D side of the game and things should be more stable moving forward.
What do you think is a fair contract for Zeev?
Considering this kid is only 20 years old, with miles of offensive upside and an ever-increasing salary cap, I’d get him signed in the 9.5 million range over eight years. Yeah he’s got some work to do on this game but if they have enough foresight to build a young team and let them grow together he’s a top priority!!
