My guess is 2 pieces for Petey a prospect & high pick no retention. 3 pieces if retention. I wouldn’t go more than 1.6m.
Sounds good to me unless BPA top winger falls to us. Also expect more draft capital is coming before the draft. DeBrusk maybe a later 1st is still possible hopefully. EP is a strange predicament with so many variables & how he starts the season. My guy says he’ll bounce back to a 60-70pt player more if highly motivated but that is not a good bet given the 2 seasons. Boeser at best a TDL chip if a suitor steps up for scoring. Not holding my breath on that lol
Verbeek playing hardball sure created a mess with Carlsson. Gauthier next up & not enough cap without a trade. Poor GM job for a good team on the rise.
If they don’t match… they will have 4 extra 1sts to trade for forward help. 2x 1sts for Petey and DeBrusk? That still would be less salary than Leo.
DeBrusk mentioned he wants to stay out west and I heard something about Petey’s wife and California connections. Could be a trade desirable for both teams and the players…
Never know but as you said if they don’t match they have to move 1sts. Already lost Trouba & Gudas for D depth.

This could happen… dare to dream that this is our C depth in a couple of seasons.
1C Alexis Joseph
2C Caleb Malholtra
3C Braden Cootes
4C Brooks RogowskiBeen thinking along those ideas as well. Gonna be much pain for 2-3 years but to be expected. Getting bigger & faster & better looks to be the plan. The D is still in the infant stage but is forming up nicely. It can use more top end talent to supply the system more depth. So far so good with RJ’d 1st draft. Need to see 2-3 prospects emerge & continue with more drafts.
Tasks at hand for Manny is figure out an identity & work on the woeful PK. I don’t see much help for the PK with the current group to work with. Play disciplined hockey is a good start. North South fast hockey & puck hounding system.
I blew up HB about EP & people joked how much I posted & some even pissed off in disagreement. I ragged on incessantly about him from nearly the start of the 2023/2024 season starting in November.
You are correct, it was before he signed that contract, that his play had dropped off signicantly.
I believe Lefty and Nighty were 2 of those who supported that contract.
God those 2 are idiotsYou’re senile I didn’t want EP & if they had to resign him 10m max. I was against him for months before anyone. Only an idiot has no recall lol
The culture of this team moving forward is huge as we all know. Hopefully he’s moved sooner than later.
Culture changed when the old regime ended. A few trades as well has helped it along.

Hopefully they find a way to trade Boeser as well. Time for all the flakes to go.
Demko I see as a positive in the room but he is better for the rebuild as an asset if he can get a healthy run in.
After those guys are gone, it’s pretty much the end of that era.
Boeser is a TDL option when teams are hot to trot to add goal scoring. Otherwise he stays when the market keeps shunning him,
Demko is what he is no worries there.
DeBrusk heads the good bye train.
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.
I stated often to trade EP if it cost over 10m. Didn’t see any reason to pay more. Sure he could score but he wasn’t a play driver. Play drivers are gold in my books.
