  1. @kilgore Thanks for writing in to Donnie and Dhali. Saw they mentioned your message on the show today and had the boys ranting in support of this board.
  2. Teams should be allowed to spend over the salary cap by any amount. The caveat is, teams can only dress players up to the salary cap amount on any given game. This is better for the game as teams would be able to ice the best team possible, not dress guys just because they make too much money. For example, the Canucks would not have had to buy out OEL. If he isn't one of your top six defenseman, he can sit in the press box without it hitting the teams game-to-game salary cap and we can make actual transactions to improve our defense. Players would have to earn their ice time, not have it guaranteed because they make more money than an AHL player that might deserve it more. Sure, some markets would have the financial ability to sign more talented players than others, but that won't allow teams to be overpowered on a game to game basis as the salaries still need to fit within the game-to-game cap. Also, how many star players would be happy sitting a bunch of games knowing they won't all be allowed to play at the same time? Remember when the offseason used to be more fun and interesting? This rule would make roster construction a lot more interesting again whereas right now making any trade is near impossible with the mental gymnastics it takes to work around the bad contracts most teams are stuck with. Sure, a lot of those are mistakes are the fault of the GMs, but rules should favour putting the most entertaining product on the ice as possible, not punishing GMs that made poor moves as all that does is punishes the paying customer. Tell me I'm wrong, and why.
  3. They should draw a random seat number every game, and whoever has that seat sings the anthem. It’ll be terrible most of the time but at least it’ll be entertaining.
  4. This is the last time I'll say it. Abolish anthems before games. It's guys playing a sport for entertainment, not a solemn occasion. The Canucks barely have any Canadians on their roster anyways. Instead, every team should have their own anthem/fight song. Have local bands perform the song before games.
  5. I don’t understand all the Dubas love. He inherited a 105 point team that couldn’t get out of the first round that had Matthews, Marner, Nylander, and Reilly. In five years, they became a 107-point average team that has one second round win. Amazing progress.
  6. I’m convinced “bruce there it is” chants are started by the away team fans now to throw off the Canucks
  7. If we could light up Marky a little bit and pump up trade values for a few of our forwards, that's a W in my books.
