I think Petey will be traded and the team rebounds. It appears that he can bring back the best return, that could allow the Canucks to salvage the season. I also feel management will want to see if trading Petey can also 'reset' Miller.

I have no idea what's going to happen but I like the idea of cab fare to the airport for both of those guys at this point.

What a freaking soap opera.

EP40 would clear the most salary (unless we retain too much), giving us a lot of flexibility moving forward. As for what happens? #CoinToss

I am trying to figure out what JR would even give this interview, I mean, are the Canucks really trying to tank any decent return for these potential trades?

What a shit show. I haven’t seen this kind of mismanagement of a room since god the fuck knows when. Brown banging McLean’s wife? Schaefer banging Lindens wife? Not sure what’s been worse. The Linden/Messier power struggle?

Sounds to me like a calculated plan to announce to other teams the Canucks team store is open for doing business. Tire kickers, serious inquiries, all are welcome.

We all know Raisin loves to go bargain hunting early before the rush begins. The guy has an itchy bum that he just can’t not scratch. He be doing this even if the team was doing well and drama free.

At the same time it advertises to the rest of the league that the available product comes with the tag “buyer beware”.

Never heard that one, at least management turned him into Salo.

As an aside, is there a trade freeze during this 4 Nations crap?

I'm not sure if he has ever really cared that this kind of stuff is out there with all of his teams. My hunch is that a lot of this drama has been fed to the media from internal sources themselves.

He will target what he wants and damn the speedbumps. He'll go after the player(s) even if fans/media consider the transaction not of equal value or an outright net loss.

In this recent article:

https://theprovince.com/sports/hockey/n ... ller-noise

The low emotional IQ one is at least very self-aware and open and honest about himself. He's changed some of his spots, but you can't turn a leopard into a panda.

All those right things they said last year about culture, accountability and not being overly sensitive about having honest interactions... yeah, what happened to all that?

Yes, that was the story. But as you know, could be complete bullshit
