I've been posting on GAF since I was 4! I've been made!

*bails out*

Ho Sang's dad?

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Good news. Vinny is still available...

You see the Eklund rumor?

Vinny (some retained) 2nd rd for Upshall

 

[SuperSonic1305]

:lol

What a dick. Sign him immediately.

I'd rather keep him for one more season and try and trade him in 2015 when he will only be owed $8.5 million over three years.

 

[Pickles the Firecat]

Ducks got their center without giving up Etem?

someone shoot me

 

[Smiley90]

Kesler's really gone, eh.

This will need some getting used to.

Damn that guy looks cool as fuck. I want the Leafs to draft him just for his dad alone LOL

 

[Giggzy]

Ander Herrera and Luke Shaw for United, and Kesler for ANA all within the same day. And promoted to senior technician yesterday at my work with a huge pay bump.

Life can't get any better.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Kadri and Ho Sang on the same line. Imagine it. Then put Komorov in the middle and watch the fireworks.

#Canucks acquire 50th overall pick from Tampa Bay for Jason Garrison, the rights to Jeff Costello and Van's 7th round pick in 2015.

Hey, how was Yosemite?

 

[bonesmccoy]

Coolest sports dad is, and always will be, Yannick Noah. Champion of tennis, music and charity.

edit: Shaw will be loaned to Nottingham Forest in a year.

looooool

wait wait wait

loooooooool

 

[Socreges]

Lower return for Kesler then I thought, but the circumstances really hurt their bargaining power.

You've also said he's an "injured, declining player" and at his "lowest point value wise". Yet you thought he'd get a higher return than Bonino and a 1st rounder?

Seems about right to me. I'm just glad the Canucks traded him now because, as you implied, his value is only going to get worse.

That is some big cap relief

Sorry to see him go but, he wasn't exactly a genius on D

 

[ZeroGravity]

YZERMAN'S DONE IT AGAIN

 

[Unhandled Exception]

https://twitter.com/VanCanucks/status/482603264626552832

LOL

 

[Samyy]

Nonis are you going to do something already

 

[bonesmccoy]

Wow

My jaw dropped
that cannot be real

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

We just salary dumped Garrison. Wow.

Imagine the conversation to get him to waive his NTC.

Linden and Benning already making their mark.

 

[Crazymoogle]

If I'm reading Capgeek right, we still have to sign Kassian/Tanev, but that's over 20m in cap room?

 

[Socreges]

https://twitter.com/VanCanucks/status/482603264626552832

His contract sucks, but wow

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

The tear down has begun. What a terrible.

 

[DopeyFish]

If I'm reading Capgeek right, we still have to sign Kassian/Tanev, but that's over 20m in cap room?

now you can take clarkson and phaneuf for free!

 

[lamaroo]

The market is dead for every posotion it seems.

 

[Samyy]

Canucks gonna go IN on Bolland now

 

[TUSR]

If I'm reading Capgeek right, we still have to sign Kassian/Tanev, but that's over 20m in cap room?

And a few other players, but pretty much yes.

 

[Curufinwe]

Vancouver still have a good defense, right? Assuming Edler bounces back.

 

[Giggzy]

Hey, how was Yosemite?

AWESOME.

The weather dropped just in time from that heatwave we had, so the backpacking wasn't as miserable. Yosemite falls was raging due to the snowfall prior to the heatwave. We also came across this little dude who followed us for ten minutes pissing all over the place.

I'll post more photos, and hi-res, when I get home from work.

 

[bonesmccoy]

I guess the cap really is only going to 68m after all.

 

[Crazymoogle]

Bieksa/Hamhuis, Tanev/Edler are a good top four. Last two are cheap. Corrado + whomever

 

[Heretic]

Hnnnnggg..

Going for broke here if true

Lol Don't listen to him

 

[Acid08]

Damn that Garrison trade is wild.

 

[calder]

Biggest reaction of the day for me was realizing Jason Garrison signed a 6 year deal with a 4.6 AAV. Did Chevy sneak into the Panthers offices and make that offer?

 

[ZeroGravity]

If we can somehow dump Purcell there may still be room for moves.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Bieksa/Hamhuis, Tanev/Edler are a good top four. Last two are cheap. Corrado + whomever

Well we just got Sbisa.

Looks like we're going to overpay for someone on July 1st. Miller?

That was a hometown discount deal too iirc.

 

[udiie]

wonder if theyre planning on picking up miller for big bucks which would basically mean me = tears of sadness
i hope its hiller.

 

[Crazymoogle]

Well we just got Sbisa.

Man, I give up. Just gonna call him Sbarro for now.

Looks like we're going to overpay for someone on July 1st. Miller?

If the team doesn't feel super excited by either of the young guys, yeah. My guess is 10m / 2years?

I guess Hiller is a cheaper possibility but didn't we go that route before in the days of Irbe?

 

[Socreges]

That was a hometown discount deal too iirc.

Yep

The trade doesn't look as bad when you call the 50th overall pick a "2nd rounder" . Truly he's no great loss and was a disappointment during his two-year stint here.

 

[Pickles the Firecat]

That is fucking awesome.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Nucks sign Hiller, Markstrom to waivers.

 

[Samyy]

Yep

Yea while the draft isn't top heavy its quite deep, some excellent players to be had in the 2nd.

 

[Crazymoogle]

n/m, speculation

Hiller would definitely be the cheap grab though

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Canucks clearance rack is getting bigger.

 

[calder]

That was a hometown discount deal too iirc.

Hah, yeah after I hit submit I bothered to look it up (that's just how I GAF) and saw it was a UFA offer from the Canucks. It's funny to me because the Jets seemingly gave that exact same deal to like 83 dmen in the past 5 years.

 

[udiie]

! Impressive cap restraint. I guess they really think Markstrom is garbage :/

EDIT: Where was this reported?

i think its speculation

 

[ZeroGravity]

Kind of amazing that Victor Hedman is only our third highest paid defenseman, and for three more years.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

! Impressive cap restraint. I guess they really think Markstrom is garbage :/

EDIT: Where was this reported? Can't find any info on this

Not happend I'm just sayin'. Markstrom will need to go through waivers next season.




Not my business tho
