Re: Free Agent "Frenzy" Day 2023

Rathbone is no loss. He can’t defend. Looks lost in his own end. Maybe he can figure it out with another team. Woo apparently (Meg would know better) had a solid year and really came on in the second half. I’d hate to see him get plucked off waivers. Irwin has almost 500 games. I wouldn’t count him...

Well not anymore. (prolly grew up a Leaf fan now that I think about it) Young, impetuous, influenced by the bright lights of TO no doubt. Say three mea culpas my son and burn an Austin Matthews sweater and you are forgiven. Would it be wrong to hope for another pandemic .. just so I can laugh when ...

Re: Free Agent "Frenzy" Day 2023

-They brought in a couple of former all star defensemen to coach their weakest link. -they bought out the mistake known as Oliver... I am optimistic This. Coaching will help a lot. Hopefully no more ill timed pinches, or no more forwards leaving their dmen hanging on the back check, or half assed e...

Re: Free Agent "Frenzy" Day 2023

The only thing I didn’t mind today was Soucy. Other than that not so sure what everyone is so enamoured with today’s Canuck events? Agree, worst case scenario, the geriatric and his robo Swede puppet got their porn scan and stalwart defenders. Is there anything left in Coles game, Blueger is what? ...

Re: Free Agent "Frenzy" Day 2023

But at this point, are Soucy/Cole anything more than elite 3rd-pairing guys on a top team? Is Latka Blueger a 3rd line centre or 4th? I see Soucy as a 4/5. Not a bad signing. Cole isn’t good anymore, IMO. Except at taking dumb penalties or “good penalties” after he gets beat. I hope to be proven wr...

Re: Free Agent "Frenzy" Day 2023

Two thumbs way up! Been waiting a decade(s) for a management team to use Free Agent Day to leverage futures. We just bought some chips to play come TDD, likely for no better than 3rds/4ths scraps but who cares, it's free. Just hope we're not caught in that shit zone by then of being between close t...

It's those new skates with the elevated blades he was wearing, and his mom fudged his ID and no one thought to check.

Re: Who should the Canucks pick? - 2023 Draft

This team has wingers galore. Benson is without a doubt a decent player but do the Canucks need another winger, much less one who is 5'9 and 163 lbs. We already have Connor Garland whose junior stats were better, and an established NHL player, who seems to be the subject of regular trade speculation...

Re: Trade Rumours & Armchair Pipe Dreams 22-23 Sponsored by SKYO

I think the trade is a win-win for both the Kings and Jets in terms of players changing hands, but in no way would I commit 72 million to that cancerous prick Dubois. He’s had a tantrum to force his way off of two teams now, one of which employs his dad. This was the best that Winnipeg was going to...

Re: Canucks News N Notes 23-24

Vegas has players under similar contracts, Stone, Karlsson, Pietrangelo, not to mention any number of players over 30. Tampa won cups with a similar mix. I hope I don't need to point out the difference between our team and theirs. The point is it makes perfect sense to take on Miller's deal if you ...

Re: Canucks News N Notes 23-24

...... Trading JT with no plan to fill the number 2 and 3 spots at centre is a recipe for more mediocrity and more long term re-tooling that does not work. JT will not be a problem for the first 4-5 years of his deal. Perhaps the last 2 years may be hard to swallow but replacing him with the same c...

Re: Canucks News N Notes 23-24

I’d a preferred keeping the 1st and 2nd rd picks squandered on 6’-0” 190 lb Hronek and looked for other ways to address the situation, why the rush? Also extremely concerning is Hroneks laundry list of yearly injuries while Severson is a warrior. Has had 1/4 the injuries Hronek has sustained yet pl...
