Craig Button on the Canucks homestand and Penguins Defenseman John Marino
TSN Director of Scouting Craig Button joined the guys to talk about the importance of this homestand for the Canucks and Penguins Defenseman John Marino.
I think the key is moving Boeser so the Canucks can help free up cap space to resign Motte this year and hopefully Miller next year. I'd rather keep Horvat because not only is he a solid goal scorer and excellent back checker, he's probably the best face off guy the Canucks have had since Manny Malhotra was on the team.
If Motte can be signed to a reasonable contract, I would like for the Canucks to keep him in the fold. He is still young enough to grow with this core, I mean its not like he is on the back end of his career. If his asking price is high or he wants a no trade or a no movement clause I duno.
Tyler Motte is getting 1.4mil right now. Quite a number of people say he is going to be getting 2.5 or 3 mil in the open market and the Canucks would not be able to afford him. As much as I like Motte and everything he brings to the table, I don't really think the market would pay a 4th liner that kind of money. Motte's skill set does not decline rapidly with age, so if the Canucks can use a longer-term contract to persuade him to stay, I think they should try to get a deal done for maybe 1.6 to 1.8 mil.
I bet you guys didn’t know that the guy who developed tie dye while working for the Grateful Dead in the 1960s and early 70s, Courtney Pollock, has lived in Powell River for years and still sells his artwork on the internet. So Craig can thank him for the tie dyed shirts.
5:39 "I watched Chris Tanev play in Calgary, boy what a miss for the Vancouver Canucks, letting him get away, that was a big miss." 5:51 20-8-4 (corrected) under Boudreau.
anyone thinking that Tanev leaving wasnt a horrible thing knows nothing about the game of hockey. The comments on Ovechin are nothing short of foolish as well.
If Tanev was still here half the city would be filling their diapers every time the trade deadline passes and he isn't dealt. The roaring success of the Maple Laughs, Sabres and Coyotes have a good portion of the arm chair GMs clamoring for nothing but sub 25 year old unproven players rather than known commodities.
Guys, stop booing Russian athletes in the NHL. They're not the ones invading Ukraine. It's not the same there as it is here where you can speak freely about your government with zero repercussions, especially if you're a public figure.

You were doing fine until you talked about politics of which all of you are ignorant of. That's why the media is the enemy of the people.
If they can get Marino and maybe add Sean Walker from LA that blueline becomes pretty legit

Trade Motte when u can! He isn't staying in the off season.

The Media won't ask Biden or Trudeau the tuff questions but let's hammer a hockey player and make him the problem . Seems reasonable 🤔

I feel Motte is worth up to 2.25 x 2 and it wouldnt surprise me to see him re-signed for that.
No Deal Boeser ripped off Trade

It's time the Canucks look for a rental RHD.
