Hockey Night in Canada Insider Elliotte Friedman joined the guys and recapped the Canucks free agent signings and how close they were to signing Jake Guentzel.
The cap should be flexible based on local tax rate. So if tax is 15% in Van over a zero rate in say Florida, Van’s cap should be 15% higher. Easy. Still benefits low tax states owners but gives higher tax markets a leveler sheet of ice.
I think that Tocchet slept pretty well last night, after those signings in Vancouver. Dhali is going to miss having Dan Millstein on the show, now that he's stepped down as the Canucks assistant GM.
@ocramocram1 Lol nope, my feelings are great. The all-knowing almighty Oz, err I mean Friedge, predicted that guy is gonna be a star. Just curious if he's a star yet bc I don't watch Sportsnet
Because they're all big Libs and so are the people who run their network and they would never say anything against the NDP or Liberals in a million years.
Ppl have a misconception on Guentzel being a great signing for the Canucks if it panned out, but what ppl don't realize is that if we sank $9mil on Guentzel times 7yrs, that means there's no money for Brock and he walks next year. Also, we definitely wouldn't have the money for good quality role players and we would have had to dumpster dive for reclamation projects to fill spots on the team...
Zadorov will be getting bought out or traded towards the end of his contract. Good on management for sticking to there guns. Zadorov doesnt have our coachs in boston to get everylast thing out of him. People need to stop crying about him. 3rd pairing dmen shouldn't get paid 5mill a year with that term especially.
Luke was right Canucks suck. And like the sabres they will never win a cup..alvin is a dolt, The owners are a joke don't spend money on marquis players..lindh9lm/zadorov/ their best players in playoffs and wont sign them is proof of there incompetence. Wouldnt give z an extra 300k to stay? Owners dont have winning mentality and never spend. Dont say the cap, they can make room. The best forward theyve had in 30 years is marcus naslund..messier didnt count..its a loser franchise for a loser city. Luke was right. Managing money doesnt win cups spending does. Unfortunately canada will never win a stanley cup again. Welcome to the new nhl where american owners buy cups$$$
@@gskeyz2987 What makes you think we're supposed to take this seriously? Oh right, I forgot we're on the internet. The stakes don't get much higher than this. Indeed, this is _very_ serious.
