[Rumour] J.T. Miller Trade/Contract Talks
Sweathog replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Gotta disagree with you there. 1994 in game 7 he scored two goals with broken ribs. And under his leadership we lost the cup by one goal to a loaded Ranger team. No we didn't win the cup, but to say he didn't deliver isn't fair. -
Big time disappointment this off-season so far?
Sweathog replied to Canuckfanforlife82's topic in Canucks Talk
It might be more appropriate to judge this management group once training camp arrives. We'll know more about their direction then, as this offseason has just started, they still have a couple of months to make things happen. I don't think we have enough info to judge JR/Alvin one way or the other right now. -
[Rumour] J.T. Miller Trade/Contract Talks
Sweathog replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Rutherford has been around the block a few times though, I doubt that he would let ownership interfere. IMO it's very likely he's insisted on full control in his contract. -
[Rumour] J.T. Miller Trade/Contract Talks
Sweathog replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Unless Miller is adamant about wanting to leave the Canucks, then I don't see how we can trade him this year. I'm thinking that trading him at this year's trade deadline, with the team playing so well after getting rid of Green, would be a big gut-punch to the rest of the team by sending their best player packing. It's essentially a message from management saying that they don't believe in the team despite their high level of play this year, and I'm worried about the effect on morale. If the Canucks don't go anywhere this year, and seem to be out of contention next year, then trade him at next year's deadline. If we get less assets in return, compared to what we would get this year, then so be it. -
He's not coming to the Vancouver Canucks, so that makes it very good news.

Yeah, or something that resembles a locker room anyway.

I'd be a good reason for McDavid to ask for a trade, if he wants out of Edmonton. No one could blame McDavid for not wanting to play with that clown

Good, looks like Rutherford plans on staying far away from Kane. This is the best news Canuck fans could've hoped for in regards to Kane. Let him go to Toronto, it'll be entertaining to watch him destroy their locker room.

Good gawd, he really screwed this up. What does cancelling his contract mean for his debt? If his appeal loses, it must change his bankruptcy situation.

[Rumour] Coyotes gauging market on Jakob Chychrun
Sweathog replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I don't want us to get Chyckrun either, as the price will be too high. But his +/- stats are misleading imo. Look at Sakic, his +/- was brutal in his first three years, but like Chyckrun he was on a terrible team as well. -
Boudreau is building an identity for each of the forward lines
Sweathog replied to *Buzzsaw*'s topic in Canucks Talk
I agree, I wonder if we can pry Nick Ritchie for a reasonable price. -
[Report] Canucks fire Jim Benning, name Stan Smyl as interim GM
Sweathog replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
I agree. It's better to keep Gillis away from this team, we don't need him doing another hatchet job on the Canucks. -
[Waivers] Evander Kane, Logan Shaw
Sweathog replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
We definitely need toughness, but Kane isn't the answer. Last thing we need is to throw a variable like Kane into the dressing room while they're trying to figure it out with a new coach., too much can go wrong. -
[Report] Jason Spezza suspended 6 games
Sweathog replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in General Hockey Discussion
No way that was intentional, should be reduced to 2 games. -
[Report] Canucks fire Jim Benning, name Stan Smyl as interim GM
Sweathog replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Whoa, just found out about this about 10 minutes ago, been at work. It had to be done, some of his moves were great, but he definitely had some catastrophes as well. -
[PGT] Vancouver Canucks at Boston Bruins | Nov. 28, 2021
Sweathog replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Yeah, I can see that. I don't know what to do about that except move on from them, unless they're breaking forum rules. -
[PGT] Vancouver Canucks at Boston Bruins | Nov. 28, 2021
Sweathog replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Fair enough, I see where you're coming from. I don't enjoy the "garbage team" posts either. But at the same time it's the nature of the beast, some fans are just angrier than others. -

Sweathog replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
If people are making personal attacks on members of the organization, whether it be the players, coach, or gm, then I agree with you. I've already said that some comments made on here are over the top. But criticism relating to their performance this season are entirely warranted. This is professional sports, and results matter. And fans are allowed to voice their criticisms should the team perform below expectations. -

Sweathog replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
I get your point, and it's a good one. Some posts are definitely over the top. However, with some people on these boards being so emotionally invested in the Canucks, venting is to be expected, especially with this team performing far below expectations. I want Green gone, I don't think he's a good coach, but I don't hate him. I would hazard a guess that in all of Canuckville, there are very, very few fans that actually legitimately hate him.
