Why do the Canucks keep doing this?

[Krylian]

Murray and Samsanov is a really nice tandem.

 

You guys may not have liked the trade but Murray looks a lot better in a 1A 1B tandem right?

 

Like if you only need him for 41 games he could be awesome. Then in the playoffs you play the healthy or hot one.

 

Yes. Having Samsonov as well makes the Murray deal more tolerable

[Krylian]

Almost 5 million for Makayev ???

 

Canucks have a history of overpaying on UFA Day. Why stop now

[Spanky99]

Yippee, love the Samsonov deal.

Yippee, love the Samsonov deal.

 

Right?

[BTS]

I hate that I love the Samsonov deal for Toronto.

Who's your fav team these days?

Sens dumn-dumn.

[Horses Fart]

Paciorietty and Dylan Coughlin to CAR from Vegas for future considerations.

[JG34]

Gaudreau to Columbus.

[Horses Fart]

Gaudreau to Columbus.

 

It was them or NJ it seems.

[BTS]

When was the last time a star player left money on the table from their previous team to sign with a clearly inferior team?

 

This really sucks for Calgary fans.

[jays4life19]

Sens dumn-dumn.

 

He has much better taste in hockey in that case.

 

Personally I am a die hard, loyal Ottawa and Vancouver fan but I am looking to add a 3rd fav team to my roster.

[jaysblue]

Yippee, love the Samsonov deal.

 

Stanley Cup in 2023!!!

[jaysblue]

Samsonov is the perfect high reward signing. Still offers huge potential.

I don't get how Jersey didn't match that offer for his hometown team? Derp!!!

That's the goal.

I didn't really see the fit in the first place. Between the Hughes bros, Hischier, Bratt etc, they are already built on small skilled types. I just don't think you get far in the playoffs with smurf team.

They did. Its been reported that the Devils offered 10+ million on a seven year deal. Has to be one of the strangest free agent signings ever. People seem to think he had his heart set on going to Philly, but they have no cap space, on account of Chuck Fletcher being the worst GM in the league.

Such a weird move. He said it was family but goes to the Blue Jackets? I can see why Philly couldn't make it work but why not go to the Devils? At least they are rebuilding. Maybe he doesn't like the limelight..

Oh, didn't read that.

[JG34]

Some weird contracts being handed out. Tampa had a couple and now Ottawa with Norris for 8yrs 7.95M AAV.

Wow... Dorion chucking money around, lol. That one's puzzling. And people complained about Nylander's deal.

People are still saying Nylander is overpriced, I don’t understand how.

They should sign a few big guys that can skate, with those guys and take the puck away in the corners etc.

 

Johnny Hockey has me perplexed as to why he didn't sign there.

Whenever I see that I just chuckle to myself and move on. It's a great contract, he's our most valuable trade chip, if they were to do something, he'd bring in a haul.

Never surprising when an American NHL player wants to leave a smaller Canadian market.

[Horses Fart]

So Mete, Benn and Jarnkrok in two days and the Leafs are officially out of money. Somebody gotta move via the trade market. Who’s ur bets on? Hope for Holl first.

Sandin and maybe Engvall still need signed, I wouldn’t object to Milano as well. I agree Holl will be gone, unless the trade Kerfoot but I think he’d leave a bit of a hole.

Love to see Milano
