Re: Re-booted SKYO approved pipe dreams and trade ideas

Riksters post..... Can't make this stuff up.... Sometimes the information is just mashed up and spit out in a jumble because nobody (outside of the locker room) knows the truth.....and those inside won't say anything about it (at least not for a few years). So you have to read between the lines and ...

Re: Re-booted SKYO approved pipe dreams and trade ideas

Good call rikster, oh no EP didn’t attend a dinner. Front page news. EP was at the heart of all the drama, therefore party to it. I’d rather we remove all those associated with the toxicity that impacted the room negatively. Petey’s presence is still representative of those dark days. Really, if you ...

Re: Re-booted SKYO approved pipe dreams and trade ideas

So a local beat reporter who looks at everything the way some here do, thinks Hughes got tired of EP's lack of training and that factored into his decision to quit on the team? Even though he came into camp in great shape and stronger? And some might argue had a better season up until his injury ...

Re: Canucks News N Notes 25-26

While I agree their original business model was in the condo market and they maintain a high volume in that industry, which equates to struggling as you suggest, they have also diversified their ownership portfolio well beyond the residential market place. Granted they are also involved in the high ...

Re: Canucks News N Notes 25-26

Who would want to spend 2.2 billion to get 40 million of revenue a year? It's insane. It only makes sense from a growth perspective. It's one of the reasons franchise values in the NHL are exploding, having a hard salary cap.... The Maple leaves who are the most valuable NHL franchise at $4.4 ...

Re: 2026 NHL Draft

On Juolevi, it seems the pick was both positionally driven and lowest perceived floor. That's why not McAvoy, not Sergeychev. Now, the scouts were wrong about Juolevi's floor, seemingly collectively, though injuries may have played a role. This only goes to show that no matter the question you are ...

Re: 2026 NHL Draft

Rikster I think the team's scouting went for a shit after Pat and Mike Penny were booted look at the drafting in Western Canada from 87-96. Delorme got marginalized abd ridiculed. He was a good scout. Blob, you're more knowledgable than I am on that time period ... more recently what seems odd to ...

Re: 2026 NHL Draft

In 2014 we wasted a 6th overall pick thinking a big heavy local kid was a good idea. In 2016 we wasted a 5th overall pick thinking we needed to go for a d-man over a heavy skilled guy because we already got one of those in 2014. In 2018 we scored a generational player with a 7th overall pick ...

Re: Hughes Traded Thread

The Canucks will have to take a considerable contract back to get rid of Petey and I’m okay with that. I just want him gone. I just don't think that has to be the case. (I mean, quite likely short term to make the cap numbers work, but not as a part of a "sweetner.") All the things you think EP40 d ...

Re: Hughes Traded Thread

The Canucks will have to take a considerable contract back to get rid of Petey and I’m okay with that. I just want him gone. The one story I find interesting and eye opening is Hughes inviting Petey to come work out with him last off season in Michigan. He declined . Says a lot to me. He’s an eni ...

Re: Canucks News N Notes 25-26

At the end of the day, “Quit” Hughes delivered his verdict on the team and the organization. Says it all when he approached this season “with an open mind” rather than a determination to make it work as captain of the team. If he wasn’t invested in the team - as was evidently the case - then managem ...

Re: Media (AKA Idiots) Rebooted

Should the Canucks make changes to who and how many media members are accredited?.. From the Athletic; And as much as Friday was surely a bittersweet day for Hughes, because there’s no denying how much he loved Vancouver, its fans and the way the organization treated and developed him, he’ll love Min ...

Re: Hughes Traded Thread

One word. Mismanagement.... What if.... the problem all along was Hughes? The old man's supposed slip up when he blurted out about Hughes wanting to jet was by design? And who the fuck wants to spend thrt much time with their brothers anyway? That's just weird. Fucking weirdos I'm not buying its a ...
