Perhaps if a certain GM who huffed gas regularly didn't prioritize Tanner Pearson in 2021 Instead of Quinton and Elias we'd have both of them till 2029 at 8 and change and more cap space. But I guess he wan out of time.Carl Yagro wrote: ↑Sat Jan 18, 2025 1:02 pm Remember that Jack Hughes struggled mightily in his first two seasons before consistently becoming the #1 center he was supposed to be. Makes Hischier's role as NJD's own Bo Horvat much easier as he enters his prime years.
Now you add Luke Hughes and a solid D... well, this should be their time.
Yup, I wouldn't put too much into his playoff numbers yet. The 12 playoff games @24yo was by no means a horrible performance.
Btw, if you have to compare EP to anyone, it should be Jack Hughes... slight, dynamic #1 center who should be leading the offence and running the PP, showcasing his skills every night. Consistent. No excuse-making. $8M x 8.

Re: Re-booted SKYO approved pipe dreams and trade ideas
One trade the Canucks might be able to actually pull off is reacquiring Luke Schenn from Nashville. He'd help keep Miller in line,Quinn would be happy too.Admittedly we do need a higher caliber defenseman, but Schenn might be the tonic that fixes the dressing room.
It's all about the lowered expectations
Re: Re-booted SKYO approved pipe dreams and trade ideas
Looking back, I am actually shocked Hughes is still happy here. Plays well with Tanev, Canucks let him go. Plays well with Schenn, same outcome.dangler wrote: ↑Sun Jan 19, 2025 9:29 am One trade the Canucks might be able to actually pull off is reacquiring Luke Schenn from Nashville.

Stankhoven needs to come back in any deal with Dallas.

If Garland, Hoglander, and Stankoven can’t play well together, at least they can be put in a plaza as garden gnomes.Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Sat Jan 25, 2025 9:29 am Stankhoven needs to come back in any deal with Dallas.

Not sure they’d entertain that. I like him and all but he could’ve cast as an extra in the Wizard of Oz he’s that small.Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Sat Jan 25, 2025 9:29 am Stankhoven needs to come back in any deal with Dallas.

Remind Nill Nieuwendyk for Iginla helped win them a Cup so we will do Miller for Wyatt Johnson and they can thank us in June.

I wish, but Jim Nil responds with a big fat no.

Does ownership in Dallas and Vancouver allow them to trade?
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

The Aqualini puppet masters have probably already given notice to trade picks and prospects to fix this, NOW!
