Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

I wonder how much taxes have to do with that... http://www.taxpayer.com/media/CTF-HomeIceDisadvantage.pdf ($8.5M in Tampa is $9.864M in Toronto, guess where Stamkos is going to sign) :wink: That's a fun little rabbit hole to go down.. Stamkos would lose about 8% of his income to taxes signing in To...

It's just the same fucking thing over and over again with Tuna. We get it. The peanut gallery in Toronto turns on players. Phil Kessel, Dion Phanuef. Kris Versteeg. Whoever else. Just because these players got trashed eventually doesn't mean there aren't five million homers - some of them in high le...

You can't deny, though, that $1.2m for Kessel is a bargain.

It's the combination of not having proven himself and expecting a top 6 role. He seems unwilling to take his 'lumps' which is concerning to me. No question he has a higher ceiling than McCann or Virtanen, I'm wary of giving up guys who have shown that maturity and deal with adversity like being scr...

He's flipped his last table..

No wonder nobody's following them

Well, if it wasn't for the Patrick Kane effect they'd be leading the league in viral load..

Those are all buyouts. Next offseason you could buy a player out of the six remaining years on his deal and be on the hook until 2028.

Heck if we bought Brandon Sutter out next summer we'd be paying him until 2026.

This guy is just one victim shy of having taken part in the 226th mass shooting (four or more victims) in the United States this year. By the way today is the 238th day of the year.

Every time we see a team sign a FA we think he is either a) overpaid b) too long of a contract. Maybe we are all wrong and these are just the rates player go for??? It is the rate players go for, you're right - and it underscores the point of how hard it is to build your team through free agency, s...

Doc, I love your huckster routine as much as the next guy, but yeah.. not really anything else to say to this stuff. I'm glad that it brings you amusement , I suppose. Well do you love it... or not ... Dave? :sly: * spits a wad of chewing tobacco on the forum floor by Dave's feet * I don't really a...

I guess I'm not "man enough" :lol: to get into a days long exchange with you over this Hell boy, you ain't even man enough to handle a cup of my notorious coffee! :mex: * takes another swig * Doc, I love your huckster routine as much as the next guy, but yeah.. not really anything else to say to th...

Doc as much as I love debating about the forest by going tree by tree, and then branch by branch, and then leaf by leaf.. just doesn't seem worth the effort. I guess I'm not "man enough" :lol: to get into a days long exchange with you over this (mind you, this is coming from someone who takes the ba...

Jesus Doc, I might have to make a couple more attempts to get through that stream of consciousness.. whatever.. at some other point. On my way through it I noticed you making the salient point that scientists shouldn't be disagreeing with federal government policy which is a rule that's been in plac...
