Why can’t we all just get along?

[donlever]

Didn’t see it, Donny, sorry. The CC has been busy

Just chirping bud.

All good.

Lots going on here which is great!!!

Who isn't getting along?

How long have we all been doing this?

[Ronning's Ghost]

I believe Demko to be untradeable at this time for anything of value so basically a money off the books deal until/unless he can prove he is not a walking (skating) hospital case....

Lankinen continues to be a thorn in my fucking side.

4.5 and a no move.

Where is he going?

Goalies go on hot streaks. If either one of them looks like a brick wall heading into the deadline, I think there's a chance someone wants that one.
(I assume Lankinen would waive to go to a contender, which would be the only teams that would be buyers.)

The return would not be great -- it seems to me that there's never a great return for goalies, even without impediments -- but at least they'd be out of the system.

Left Wingers

DeBrusk
Sherwood
Kane
Hoglander
O’Connor
Ohgren

Right wingers

Boeser
Garland
Karlsson (centre/right winger)
Lekkerimaki

Left wing is stacked so one of (or both) of Kane or Sherwood need to go. Right wing is thin so Garland stays, for now. The centres stay. Walk Chytil to UFA after next season and is a placeholder for Cootes. Cootes to Abby next season.

Boeser has been suiting up on the LW a bit lately.....this year is the first time ever for him. Honestly, he's had better looks playing there, just crazy snake bitten.

There are 3 left wingers expected to go top 5 - McKenna, Stenberg and Belchetz. With all the left wingers we have this is a bit of problem. I’d probably be more inclined to draft the centre Lawrence, although apparently Stenberg can play both wings, but he’s a Swede and this would certainly put Mëds on suicide watch.

BPA.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Lol @ Cuz Dude 2 site adjuster....

I call them augmentations

I call it Bi-po(lar)sting.

[Meds]

Ya know, I keep thinking for all the time that I've wasted my life here and following this team, I can't be real.

I'm more than likely a sock, just trying to be a Cypher and enjoy my fake steak until someone pulls the plug.

ReeferFingers was never really one for the banter and chirping.

If the tank is on, who cares what's between the pipes this year or next.

Lankinen is a shrub.

He is to far overrated by some at this site (and by contract) for a 30 year old journeyman goalie with 180 NHL games on his resume.

There is a reason he was available last minute to us for a million bucks - because there was no league interest.

...and.zero reason (at the risk of being repetitive) for our glory boy management team to sign him to the deal they did.

They made flogging him that much harder through their idiocy.

He has become a do us a favour please chip in any trade scenario.

Favors cost, often with negative ROE.

[BCExpat]

That was a great haul for the Canucks. Now maybe they can play their way out of the basement and let the Flames settle back to the bottom where they belong (along with their upcoming 1st overall pick - McKenna)

You do realize I’m saying it tongue in cheek right?

Everyone has their point of view on what has happened and what can happen in the future but to me only time will tell.

Lots of arguments for Stenberg being the BPA at 1st OA. Have you been seeing what he’s been doing in the SHL as a 17 year old?

"We came out of the gates with that. Because they wanted to check certain boxes, and we had to check them for them. That's the only way it gets done. We're not going to sneak one by them. They're smart."

Anyone else get a feeling that this quote is like Paul Maurice talking about the leaves?

[donlever]

If I were running the Canucks and all things are as they are now I'd take Verhoeff and trade Hronek.

Draft high again in '27 and, if done right, start competing with Ducks Hawks Sharks Utah for the next decade.
