Cal retains $1.875m not mentioned

Makes sense, that return for a 34 year old goalie is bonkers

NJD needed a goalie upgrade but he’s brittle. Play him 45-50 games.

34 year old goalie that usually lets the 1st shot on net in.

Hopefully he helps to get the NJD into the playoffs and it’s a late pick for CGY.

Flames are gonna be rough next year.

Looks like Kman will be moving in full time here.

Hopefully he tells Jack and Luke how much better things are in Vancouver while he's there

With the Markstrom trade, it completes the Calgary trifecta for Jim Benning 2020 blunders

Tanev, Markstrom, Toffoli all traded for solid asset values years after being signed

While Poolman on LTIR, OEL is dead cap until 2030. Virtanen, Holtby bought out

#Canucks have signed D Filip Hronek to an eight-year, $58 million extension: 8 years x $7.25 million.

Big piece of business done.

That’s a good number, I have no doubt if he had signed a QO and been a pending UFA the following year it would have been much more.

And yet so many fanboys defended him, and continue to do so.

Here's what he did well

He had a handful a draft picks that turned out and missed on a crap ton as well Ike most gms.

Legit nothing else from anything he did was above average in fact most was embarrassingly poor. Can't believe he had a job that long

In hindsight…

The 2 big reaches for JV & OHJ really were the big dominos to fail. Those 2 picks alone didn’t have to be home runs just had to be good. All that followed eg trading picks & poor UFA signings for term look like desparation flops. It all added up to more wasted seasons than necessary retooling properly. No assets in return for UFA’s was piss poor asset management. OEL was the last straw.

Having a cheap owner not hiring experience & not spending enough on the front office & dreaming of winning & money was the root of it all. It only spiralled downhill from there that lasted too long.

We’ll never know truly why TL was fired but my guess is Weisbrod & JB were merely puppets who were the real problems. The entire mgmt staff was horrible & has since been rebuilt bigger & better. Leads me to believe that FA always was the circus leader who finally got experienced hockey ppl like JR & gave him the autonomy to rebuild mgmt from the ground up in every way he sought needed from the farm mgmt & location to more mgmt staff etc.

7-8th depth D on a min contract. Filling in the 23 roster. Lots of holes still to fill in the mid 6 F’s & D.

Dhaliwal said Dan Milstein is willing to be patient and open minded when it comes to Zadorov. He really wants to re-sign with the Canucks.

I bet they wait to see what offers come and go to Van and say what's the best you can do and then he makes his choice from there

Alvin has been busy!
Good.
Feels like Myers is probably done too, but waiting to make it official until other deals in place.
