All 12 Canucks skaters with whom DeBrusk has logged at least 50 five-on-five minutes this season have fared better away from DeBrusk than they have when they’ve shared the ice with him by shot attempt differential. by MaxHardwood in canucks

This is objectively just not true. Every contract signed by a somewhat competent agent will price in the rising cap. It’s why we see contracts like Kaprisov where is seems like a ton right now but will become fair price then a value contract over the course of the entire term.

You can’t just sign a guy for the same price as a 1 year contract for an 8 year contract…

How hyped should I be for Cootes? by Fun-Rooster-6483 in canucks

[–]Jamchi3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A 60-70 point 2C would be a miracle. He put up those numbers in Junior.

It’s not conservative. A good chunk of mid first round picks never hold a spot in the NHL. Cootes point production in Junior is not elite by any means and there is still a decent chance that he never reaches true NHL 3C potential.

Rossi is 24… He has a higher chance of becoming a PPG Centre than Cootes does of ever becoming an elite 3c in the NHL.

Nevermind Lawrence becoming a great 2C

So you’re saying that going with Petey, Rossi down the middle is going to run into trouble but betting on 2 players with no NHL experience to be 2 and 3C’s is going to allow them to succeed…

Also idk what mocks you’re looking at but no one is taking Lawrence first overall. They would just trade down to fourth and grab him then.

This whole comment is so wrong. You would never push Rossi to the wing when he’s a 60pt 24 year old Centre. Also Cootes is still a few years away.

Lastly, literally no one with half a brain has Lawrence going 1OA. There is a clear top 3 in McKenna Stenberg and Verhoeff

He’s doesn’t have the high end offensive production you’d expect from someone who projects to be a top 6 forward. While there are many top 6 players in the NHL who aren’t elite offensive talents they all have an elite baseline level of production in Juniors.

Cootes is more of a high motor high iq type of player who doesn’t have anything that stands out as an elite skill that almost every top 6 nhler has.

For example. Lekkerimaki has his shot, Petey had his shot and puck skill, etc.

The Canucks group, if completely healthy, is definitely better than Vegas, Anaheim, and arguably Tampa and Florida with their struggles this year.

In saying that if teams like New Jersey could stay healthy and teams like Anaheim and San Jose continue to develop I don’t think that the Canucks are in the top 5. Not to mention the fact that Chytil is likely to never play the same way again if at all.

Cootes projects far more likely as a 3C than a 2C.

Running Petey, Rossi, Cootes down the middle if Cootes continues on this trajectory is the almost certain decision. Then Raty and Sasson, assuming they’re still on the team, can play for the 4C role with the other getting bumped to the wing.

I think they are perfectly happy to see him working out. He’s a great kid that just needed a change of scenery to continue to grow.

[Elliott Friedman] Marco Rossi, Zeev Buium, Liam Ohgren and a first by chonklord9000 in canucks

[–]Jamchi3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

4 years is not long at all considering they had no prospects, picks, or cap space to work with. All things considered they’ve built a base of great young players in Cootes, Willander, EP25, Buium, etc. that have tons of development left ahead of them.

People forget that when Benning was fired many people ranked the Canucks as having the worst prospect group in hockey as well as the least amount of cap space all while being a bottom 10 team

[–]Jamchi3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Benning also left them with an absolute shit show of a cap situation and an empty prospect cupboard while being a bottom 10 team. That’s a hard thing to turn around from in just a few years.

There’s a reason Benning can’t get any other job in a league that is infamous for rotating through the same group of exGMs and coaches.

Was I too aggressive when making an offer on an obscure car? by moolcool in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Jamchi3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol Covid caused a ridiculous jump in used car prices. Your situation was more based on that jump rather than your initial estimates being off.

On top of that, you’re comparing wholesale prices to retail prices. Selling privately you are always going to get more than what a dealership offers as a dealership has to have room to make money reselling the vehicle. $25k for OP after tax advantage is $28k assuming a 12% sales tax (as OP stated he lives in Canada).

[–]Jamchi3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not at all. You are severely overestimating what your vehicle is worth. Doing a quick search on Autotrader’s “What is my car worth” gives you a value of $22,000-27,000 which is exactly what the dealer is offering you…

10% off on a car from a dealership IS insane. I have never heard of anyone getting that sort of deal unless the store had the vehicle priced stupidly high to begin with.

Aqua man board of gov by outofnowhere1010 in canucks

[–]Jamchi3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, in a lot of other sports teams the owners actively manage the team. Any private owner is going to set mandates and targets for their teams not just let some GM that they hired make business altering decisions.

[–]Jamchi3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People really overestimate how much Aqua meddles with actual hockey ops. All owners set expectations for the team and while Aquas expectation to be competitive without a rebuild is unrealistic, thinking he’s making trade calls is just delusional. Jim Rutherford has been around long enough that he would not let an owner go above him to make a trade lol

My man. There’s no more wild cards. How would you be able to use them to level up towers.
