Marleau contract is the stupidest signing in a LONG while ... Lamoriello going senile.

Lou has made this mistake before. Ryane Clowe was the last one.

Shanahan also signed off on Robidas.

Robidas was exiled to Robidas Island with Lupul on LTIR. When a team has deep pockets, and can find ways around the cap, the risk can be manageable. I'm sure they have some plan in place to get out of Marleau's 3rd year, like trading him to Vegas so they reach the cap.floor.

When you're drafting up exit strategies on the day of the signing, that's pretty indicative of how bad of a contract it is.

That has nothing to do with a rivalry, the stars need scoring

I know. Just wanted to joke about how both deals are similar. Radulovs deal can backfire like erikssons.

Anyone know if Sami salo is back in the organization?

Not officially but he is guest coaching today at prospects development camp.

So anyone got projections for the canucks lineup?
Seems like there's 18 players fighting for about 6 spots(either 5 f/1d or 4f/2d). players that need waivers are in bold.
f: boeser, goldobin, burmistrov, boucher, gaunce, Virtanen, rodin, Molino, chaput, labate, megna
d:wiercioch, subban, holm, biega, juolevi, pedan, mceneny

sedin-sedin-granlund
baer-bo-boeser
Eriksson-ganger-sutter
gaunce-burmistrov-rodin
dorsett
boucher


edler-stetcher
hutton-tanev
del z-gudbranson
holm

would send mceneny, biega down in first cuts so they make it to the comets

I'd probably go with:

D. Sedin - H. Sedin - L. Eriksson
S. Baertschi - B. Horvat - S. Gagner
M. Granlund - B. Sutter - A. Rodin
B. Gaunce - A. Burmistrov - D. Dorsett

A. Edler - T. Stetcher
B. Hutton - C. Tanev
M. Del Zotto - E. Gudbranson

J. Markstrom
A. Nilsson

Extras: J. Megna, P. Wiercioch, A. Biega

Waivers: M. Chaput, R. Boucher, A. Pedan, E. McEneny, R. Bachman

Boeser starts in the AHL, called up for injuries, sticks if he plays well.
Juolevi spends another year in the OHL.

Waivers-eligible (28)
Spoiler!

Waivers-exempt (18)
Spoiler!

Ineligible for AHL/ECHL (1)
Spoiler!

Unsigned prospects (16)
Spoiler!

this would be the 6th season since he signed his elc, making him eligible for waiver

Grenier and Valk signed with Florida today. Not a big loss for Vancouver, but both were good for Utica.

Fortunately, it looks like Utica may actually get some decent prospects this season.

With Boeser getting 4 goals in 9 NHL games I hope he gets a serious look. Wouldn't be disappointed if he plays in the A at the end of the day but it would be great to see an actual rookie make an impact right away like we've seen on other teams.

My reasoning is that we get decimated by injuries every year plus I'd like to see Rodin get a legit shot if he's healthy in October. Odds are he's the guy who gets bumped from the top 9 if Boeser is in the NHL.

Fair enough but if Boeser is ready I'd prefer Rodin bump someone else. Gagner was effective as a bottom 6 last year and I wouldn't be sad if Dorsett went away quietly, myself.

You gotta make room for Boeser to start the season, he earned in at the end of last season. Give Rodin a look on the 4th line and move Gaunce to Utica. Gaunce was a plug all last season, let him bury a few in the AHL.

Rodin is useless as a 4th line grinder.

IIRC Gaunce had amazing possession stats last season. He just needs some talent around him.

Wasn't really impressed with his game last season, hes great at checking but that's about it. Possession stats are great and all but if you're plunked on the 4th line for the entire season you're not going to get much talent around. If he does start it will be interesting to see if and how Green can help elevate his game because he needs it badly.
