I get a kick out of you broom pushers who think managers are unable to weigh multiple scenarios and outcomes at one time.

I don't think anyone is suggesting they didn't weigh the scenarios. I think they're saying the suits simply took their shot and missed.

Missed on that particular fish perhaps, there are others...

Cool Hand Jim was talking about trades today, trades that he could no doubt pull the trigger on.

It's all good, Jimmy's got this...

The Canucks have had more talks with Tyson Barrie’s camp tonight. More to come tomorrow morning I think.

Problem is it seems the management poured too much effort into OEL which thankfully fell apart. Time to go dumpster diving on one and two year deals and explore the trade market. Let the poisonous contracts run out and try and break in some younger free agents or trade acquisitions.

The swap from Markstrom to Holtby was necessary to retain Demko and wasn't dictated by cap so much but this one and the challenges they're going to have in replacing Tanev and Stecher are definitely a result of poor cap management. Not that I would have given Tanev the deal he ultimately got but as of right now the Flames right side is far superior to the Canucks thanks to Tanev and the Baerstchi trade. Ouch.

I'm still waiting for the Ferland LTIR and Eriksson retirement announcements.

Dhaliwal: I believe the Canucks are interested in Tyson Barrie.

Bryan Little got such an announcement today, he's medically ruled out of the season for the Jets (head). We need our crack medical team to earn it's keep and favor us with an announcement on Ferland. They cleared him four times I think last season and on all four occasions it was instant concussion-like symptom city. Enough.

They should have done that immediately upon elimination. Was it four times? Unreal.

That's two; There are more. Smoke?

Micky wrote: ↑Fri Oct 09, 2020 10:42 pm Think the Canucks will probably talk to Tyson Barrie. Isn't this what many of us said July 2019 when he signed with TO?

Now Stecher will probably be re-signed to roughly the same as he was making. That's what a UFA can do. Decide his own destiny.
We'll see.

Quinn Hughes will miss Tanev. Sorry to see him go. Guess the Canucks didn't trust his longevity long term. Flames throwing plenty of money
around. Will come back to bite them. F**kers.
