Cootes looking good in Dev camp. Looks like his puck handling and shot has improved. Looking more than 1 year older than this new draft class by quite a bit. There’s no way he’s going back to junior. Full time pro this season.
Before the twins became Presidents, they offered to work with EP116 to improve his game. Apparently he blew them off. It’s also been suggested he’s lost his passion for the game which coincidentally occured right after he signed his deal. This team will be crap for awhile, in the long run they are better off without him.
It was further back than that. He started to fall off a couple of month before the deal was done actually. I did notice the “right after the deal” narrative has grown roots since some of the media rewrote the facts as time passed. No Canuck fan should be getting dooped on this. We were all watching and debating it at the time.
If the idiot management team had of waited to the summer like they agreed, EP would have lost bargaining power significantly. Too bad EP didnt refuse then he would have been traded before this became an issue.
5/18m is one hefty new cap hit of roughly 17%
Ducks in hindsight shoulda done say 7/16m. Gauthier up next year. Cap crunch coming fast.All of a sudden 11.6m doesn’t look as bad lol
Nico Hischier just got 11.8 per. Hit 80 points once 4 seasons ago… hasn’t made it to 70 since so he has fallen off on production as well. EP’s inflated salary is getting less inflated by the week. Hopefully this helps get a trade done.
I think the team had a good day yesterday. Don’t know much about today’s signing. The Gallagher signing I still don’t get but it’s not worth worrying about.It’s done so move on. I like the Schenn signing and Jamie O.I think Schenn will be an excellent mentor to DPetey.
Agree on Schenn helping DPetey be more assertive & physical along with more savvy on being a total pro. On Gallagher it’s more of of a cheaper vet plug to show kids the grit & determination needed. Cap hit of 3.25m means nothing. Overall it’s about team identity forming up & kids develop & the system taming full root. Manny is looking for a fast North South style.
Not very many kids going to be on the team this season. Most of this years draft class wont even be in camp. Are you suggesting they re-sign him?
Just found out what the condition is. I was worried it was lottery protected… not quite. Top 10 protected. I hope the Rangers finish 11th from last lol.
So lets speculate what Hronek could fetch if MP gets a 1st? 1st in a nearer draft and a young Dman or prospect?
…and there’s the D. Canucks sign Jamie Oleksiak. That’s 2 very large mean D they brought in.
$5m x 2.
EP40’s going to be pissed his only bud on the team is gone. Bottom line is he’ll probably just float through another season.
I think they’ll spend the summer trying to get a reasonable return for him and if the summer runs out and camp is near, they will turn back to one of the trade partners that want it to cost them almost nothing. I really don’t see them starting the season with this controversy.
I think you’re being a little bit hysterical.
Maybe explaining what I want them to do sounds like hysteria to you… I suggest internet browsing from your safe space. Maybe opinions don’t seem so hysterical from there. Aside from that, I got nothing. Sounds like a *you* problem. 😉
