Management now has a gargantuan mandate to acquire a top six game breaker who can support Hughes with the heavy lifting.

Mason McTavish is the first player that comes to mind. Would Anaheim deal him? For the right price, any player is available

At what cost though?
A game breaking top-6 you say…..and that lands you at Mason McTavish? A career high of 42 points (this season), pacing at a 55Pt pace over 82 games, doesn’t sound “game breaking” to me.

But hey, he’s younger and still has the upside to be a 75-80 point guy, plus he probably signs a bridge deal for half of what Petey makes.

So let’s run with it…..

To ANA: Petey + Hoglander + pick
To VAN: McTavish + Zegras

Understanding yer just fucking about here...but...my guess is Verbeek is not trading a head case, Zegras, who he has struggled with ad infinitum....

...for another head case.

Especially since our head case comes with The Weight....

:D

Verbeek thinks you're funnier than Matt Rife

He's very likely correct....

They had a journalist who covers the Ducks in Anaheim on 650 last week, based on the interview, McTavish ain’t going anywhere, so get your hands out of your pants. He says it won’t be long until he’s wearing the C he’s that well thought of in Anaheim.

Apparently they’ve explored the idea of moving Zegras.

I’m new at this and still full of drugs but let me throw something out there.

Trade Chytil and Demko and sign Bennet and Marner. Trading the 2 players gives the Canucks ~$25M in space to sign both and have a few million left to sign the last couple of players.

Should I lay off the drugs? :lol: well actually I can’t but what the hell.

Actually, you might be on to something with Chytil.

Pettersson and Chytil (16m)

McTavish (RFA) Zegras and Trouba (13.75)

Chytil’s insured, right?

The Weight provides star power while keeping the team above the floor.

"There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
He told me:
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie"
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

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

As an aside.

One of my fav Bowie tunes.

The acoustic version with guitar and vocal only is great.

Quiye enjoy that entire album tbh.

Back to pussies and overpaid hockey players....
