If Francis were to take Myers' contract off our hands, it'd be right neighborly of him. We could then turn around and use that six million to shore up some deficiencies back there. I'm thinking maybe bring back Hambone and maybe another vet of similar or slightly greater value. A bit of a fantasy I think, but I like the idea very much.

I’d love oel if he was a rightie
I'd prefer OEL over Schmidt tbh, go all out like Tampa heavy skilled on left d, then get some reliable defensive right side dmen to back em up.

TBL:
Hedman - Ruuta
McDonagh - Cernak
Sergachev - Savard

VAN:
OEL - Myers
Hughes - UFA/Trade (Larsson?)
Rathbones - UFA (Hamonic?)
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

A better system and the entire D would look 50% improved. Same with the forwards.

JB has zero UFA luck. OEL would be another broken down albatross. Say no to that bloat. Go steal Victor Sodastream while Arizona is still trying to put out the Chayka house fire.

Just thought of a pretty good idea.
Fraser Valley Mosquitoes
The Canucks could make a logo like the Blue Jackets alternate hornet logo.
It actually ties into a local Sto:lo legend of how the mosquito was created.
With permission, they could use local masks and have the Cannibal Woman Th'owxeya as their mascot.

Soderstrom has strength issues that may inhibit his ability to be effective at the NHL level

Say it with me Tard Boy. Schmidt and Myers is not 12 million well spent. The defence is a bloody mess and needs a rebuild. Then again you’re the same moron that blathered on about the North Divison being the strongest one, so your knowledge is somewhere between Gomer’s and Mathonwy’s.

And one more time for the mongoloid. The idea is to jettison both Schmidt and Myers you illiterate fuck. Not “see who Francis leaves us”. The idea is to rebuild the bottom 5 D in the league and make it better.

The last thing you need to do is burn more brain cells. You barely have enough to arm an ape.
Blob my boy - that's a lot of antagonism in just one post.

Boy, blog is angry ever since the Avs failed to make it past the 2nd round and the Kings lost the lottery again.

RD, your thoughts?
It hasn’t been a good playoffs for Blob, most certainly, but Blobs my boy, he keeps it lively.

Meh… it wasn’t unprovoked Leves. Little neckbeard starts calling people stupid, idiotic and dumb he’s gonna wear one. It’s adorable how much he idolizes Dude and Doc and reports back to them. He’s seemingly oblivious to the fact that Dude and I have been going at each other for two decades. Doc and I used to pretty much agree on most shit. He has been a staunch Elmer supporter since 2015, whereas I expect a bit more from the GM….. and here we are

At least 2 decades.

Fair enough then.

Carry on all...

Yeah, I'm down, since my reemergence here I've actually watched a couple of games.

Looks good to me...

You seem to be handling another disappointing playoffs for your Sakic Avs and your Tavares leaves OK somewhat but I am sensing a little displaced aggression

I was a lurker back at Central, managed to find the new Corner and started posting - was that 2011 that that all went down? Jesus, I've been around 10 years.

I think my older brother knew Chris from Central personally and he introduced me to it back around...2002 or 2003 probably? I don't think my brother ever posted either.

Back then - to my recollection - the THINKER liked wearing the goat horns in every thread, which is an important role on a message board to keep things lively. Now, Blob/Tanner has taken over that role, weighing in with a controversial/contrarian take just to keep things lively. Nothing wrong with that, but he's quite sensitive at times.
