Soucy has been saddled with shit D partners too. So before we sell low on him we should get a representative sample size playing with non-crap partners.

Well, me thinks some of you Soucey fans may want to take it up with Allvin whom has been reported to be open to offers on him. Let’s be honest here, he’s had a garbage season, so not sure how you can defend it. M-Petey is obviously the 2nd pair LS D-man now. Maybe management doesn’t like the idea of paying a third pairing D-man $3.25 million per year. Maybe it’s coming down to cap management and them wanting to clear some more $$$ off the cap table and wanting to be a player in the UFA market or trade deadline. I believe it all his to do with future planning. I cant remember the GM who said it but he said trade negotiations for certain players can go on for months, it’s a back and forth process that doesn’t happen over night. Maybe it’s all about the money regarding Soucey and not the man for other reasons.

Much to do about nothing except for the pee pants outfit and the media neckbeards. He starts 2/3 of his shifts in his own end and unlike last year, he and Myers don't have Ian Cole and Nikita Zadorov to help soak up those hard, high leverage minutes. They cant keep shipping guys out because it's fun for fans. Soucy isn't an issue. If he's traded for an upgrade or part of a package for an impact player, fine. But there's some folks that think they net a blue chip prospect and a 1st for he and Boeser. It's just that easy.
Agreed.

Soucy on the 3rd pairing with the ability to do spot-duty in the top-4 is what management signed him to do, and that's not unrealistic. He's been pressed into top-4 service too much because of injuries and lack of depth that would keep him on the 3rd pairing. $3.35 AAV is a bit rich for a 3rd-pair d-man, but I would say the team is paying for his ability to step up in the lineup in a pinch.

With the cap rising, the cap hit may not seem so egregious. Unless management needs that cap space to make a deal, I agree that there's no rush to send Soucy out the door. Keep him on the 3rd pairing to herd either a youngster like D-Petey or a tweener plug like Forbort or Juulsen.

I'm pretty sure the situation is Allvin will listen to offers, but he's not shopping Soucy and won't part with him unless the return is too tempting.

Vancouver has always been a favoured piñata of Eastern media types like Friedman. Helps distract from the perennial disappointment that is the Leaves.

Did signing m-petey so quickly really insult Brock like Rick Dhaliwal says it did?

I would counter argue that second pairing defenceman are likely more rare than one dimensional lead footed wingers are.

I'm sure if Brock offered to stay for 6years at 5.5 Allvin would oblige.

He’s the worst. I thought Friedman was the worst but Dhaliwal is the king in that department.

Have you ever listened in to his radio show with Donny? Both Dhali and some unknown brown sound guy are constantly arguing at the top of their lungs on the air. It's weird man. High stress

None of this should be a surprise. Two years ago we couldn’t give Brock away. Last year for the first, and only time, he scored 40 goals. Rutherford said in the offseason as much and that the Canucks wanted to see more and assess it after January. Allvin has been saying that all year.

Translation: Canucks are not the team that will give Brock a 7-8 year contract north of 8 million. They have telegraphed this for 2 years. Brock isn’t worth more than Garlund is making. Or DeBrusk. Not on this team. That Dhaliwal doesn’t know ir u dear stand this and just wants to shit all over the Canucks is madness.

Dhaliwal can't help himself, he's like Yente in Fiddler on the Roof.

Tragic.

He's a wannabe Brown Cherry with less knowledge. Shouting and screaming at the top of his lungs. He lick the asscracks of Friedman and agents, gets the odd bon and acts like a hero. He couldn't carry JP McConnell's booze bag let alone those old luggage eyes. Fuck he looked like a bloodhound lit up on meth.

Hargraves wants the old group back.

I have a free day today and am bound and determined to snag a solid Cowichan sweater to go with my beard and Mohawk. Its a scene man.

Any suggestions? And no Dude i don't do Value Village like yourself.

Doyle, with the new sleeve tattoo have you taken up arm wresting? Are you working the guns on the universal in the garage? How much can you curl?
