No he isn't. He plays the wing and he's got two years of club control left.

Pesce's game has been cratering for two seasons and he's 30.

No way I'd trade Peter for that bag of shit.

I could care less if those dummy baldies didn't 'immediately' hang up the phone. Like there has to be a timeline on hanging up the phone.

That trade proposal is slightly better than the Zibanajed for Miller abortion.
Jarvis and Nikishin?

Necas would have no problem moving back to centre here. He’s a player, bro. 15 goals 32 assists 47 points. He’s 14th overall in point totals in the NHL. He’d be the leading point getter on the Canucks. He elevates his game post season. Chef strongly disagrees with your take on Necas. The only issue is he is a UFA in 2026. That’s not much security. Probably the reason we would turn it down.

Jarvis and Nikishin is a pipe dream. Necas has hardly played the middle in the NHL and is UFA in 18 months. Pesce is a # 4 D man. It's not enough. Not even close.

Hronek assigned to Abbotsford on a conditioning stint. This is good news and earlier than I expected.

With Canuck luck, one of the goons down there will permanently do Hronek's shoulder in.

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Silovs sent back to the AHL, guess Demko is ready to get hurt again.

We're a cynical bunch these days, aren't we? I can't imagine the players are much happier.

Think we could’ve achieved the cup with different ownership than we’ve had with the Aqualini’s.

Firing Nonis because Nonis didn’t want to gut futures (Bieksa and Kesler) for Brad Richards, or was it Jokinen? Can’t remember. That was the first sign our ownership is going to be a problem.

Firing Gillis because Gillis recognized a rebuild was in order after 2012 in which in fact it was, was another sign of our ownership’s inability to read the room.

Hiring a Yes Man in Benning to buy into their “no rebuild” mandate, was another massive misstep in ownership’s inability to read the room.

Not listening to Linden and firing Linden when Linden suggested the team be patient in building the team

Keeping their Yes Man - Benning around longer than should’ve been because he was obedient.

Hiring more Yes Men in Rutherford and Allvin who are as impatient as ownership is.

I have no doubt we will see 60 years without a cup.

J Rutherford is anything but a yes man. Alvin? Sure but Rutherford isn't a gobbler
