I like Zadorov but I don’t know if I would like him at 5 million per season for the next 6 seasons. Those are the contracts that can cripple a team going forward as they will won’t be able to exceed expectations.
Paying for a good playoff run is how teams close their contention window in my opinion.

Speculating on all of it? Even the part about Demko's injury being uncorrectable with surgery?

Like it or lump it, Allvin looks like he knows what he is doing, their bottom six will be the engine again this year. Team has nice balance in lineup

At the time, he was. He even said he was. Since then the information available and what people are willing to talk about (including the player) have changed.
Leave it to a Canucks goalie to discover a brand new injury.

Canucks apparently never got remotely close to his $ ask. Said if no one bites, the offer will still be there for him. I'm glad. I loved Z. I do not love Z at what Boston paid him for how long they're paying him.

If you don’t give him what he wants, it’s definitely disrespectful.
I think that Vancouver dodged a bullet with that contract.

Vancouver fans were showing their true colours again last night, chanting Miller's name when a player is lying on the ice and potentially seriously injured, after a VERY late hit (and interference) from Miller.
Embarrassing, and despicable.
If I was from Van, I would be feeling much shame from that display.

If you've ever attended a game in person in Vancouver before, you wouldn't be surprised that happened!

Well, looks like Elias Pettersson’s tendonitis is still clinging on like it’s got a multi-year contract.

Yep. The Canucks, like the Flames probably said they'd love to keep him and pay him what they felt a bottom 4 defender is worth.

Donnie and Dhali call out the idiot Canuck fans for chanting JT Miller while Rooney was down, and appeared to be seriously injured

How did this thread fall off the first page when the Canucks are 0-1-2 to start the season?
Were Zadorov and Lindholm the heartbeat of that team? Perhaps it was Kuzminko. I hear his team is 4-0.
The Canucks are no good.
