...I would say that I did not think Surfsides shot packed that much wallop anymore but I suppose taking the fact it is Chytils head into consideration it would make little difference....

A tragic season for Chyle. I feel for the guy. Hopefully he has a good off season and can come back ready to go. Perhaps the shot to the face is a blessing in disguise for him. I wonder whose idea it was to take him back in the Miller trade :mrgreen: Wewould have been better off with a 4th round pick.

Could be tough sledding to acquire another ‘26 1st rnd pick.
But with Forbert, Demko and (likely) Chytil on the shelf for the season, mgmt can still have a successful trade deadline.

Weaponize their now abundant cap space by placing Demko and Chytil on LTIR and use up the two remaining options on salary retention. They must be proactive with other teams to broker deals and assist with cap retention, and accumulate as many assets as possible.

Typical for this season... the only news out of the team during the Olympic break is Chytil's face getting broken.

He should be ready with a cage next week, right?

At least Brock understands the assignment.

100%...and, much to Toppers chagrin, we circle back to the same debate.

Can....these fucking guys.....manage this?

Debate? It’s more of a merry go round of backslapping at this point. None of us think they can (manage).

So, apparently 4 or 5 teams have demonstrated interest in acquiring Kane.

Geez, I was planning on seeing at least one more Chytil concussion this year.

It's such a shame...

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed Megs has gotten real edgy lately?

:wink:

Medgy.

The key to being a Canucks fan is to not let them break you.

Megs is battling those demons.

:wink:

It's like an Alberta version of him. White shades, vape pen in hand, rusty but trusty lifted '05 LS Chevy on the lawn, bud light cans astrewn about...

Just remind him that there is a high chance we draft Sternberg.
