  1. Bo should have been the priority this summer. Miller should have been dealt either this summer or at the deadline.
  2. Couldn't agree more. My son and I are Abby Canucks season ticket holders. We paid quite good money and made a 5 year commitment. We watch other teams come into to town and it is quite a stark difference in their players ages (younger) and skill/quality level. Having said that we understand it will take some time as the cupboards are beyond bare. Hopefully they take this seriously moving forward. Some nights are very difficult to watch and see the value from a season ticket holder's perspective let alone what the Big Club has in the pipeline.
  3. Not sure if this has been covered however he shoots L and plays RD? (replaces Tanev) I thought TG frowned on this.
  4. He sure hasn't "earn" the $30Million plus the Canucks have paid him based on what they thought he would offer. Does he have any honor, or just greed at the expense of his employer and teammates who may have to be moved out or paid less because he can't admit the game has passed him by. Sure they signed him to a contract. So did he in good faith knowing full well why they paid him all that dough. There are 2 sides to every contract not just "hey you signed me so pound sand even though I suck and no one wants me and I am a running joke" He hasn't earned what he has been paid so let's stick around for more of what he hasn't earned. I wonder how his team mates feel. I know I wouldn't be a fan.
  5. If he wants more than $4.5 Million I think its too much. Maybe not in year 1 or 2 but beyond that he should be transitioning to bottom pairing and filling in on top four if required. If that isn't the case this defense hasn't improved and it is not going to be good enough. I would like to see 3 x $4.5 Million or 4 x $4 Million. He is a great team mate and very important in the room. But he can't drive play and isn't fleet of foot. The Canucks window is realistically 2 - 3 years away. Love him but......... We don't need any more over payments please.
  6. Will you be able to get Loui to realize his best before date is passed and it's time to hang em up without becoming an even bigger embarrassment? If so they should hire you.
  7. Loui is a boat anchor and so is his contract. Borderline line 4th line player who can PK. Other players will have to leave because he can't acknowledge the game has passed him by. The Canucks, have at least to this point, not embarrased him by demoting him or bad mouthing him. Same can't be said for Loui.
  8. That's pretty difficult with everything that happens during a game and at speed. I know for certain that if Roussel throws either of the Myers or Sutter hits the Blues are on a powerplay and Roussel is possibly ejected. Watch any of the other games yesterday hits from behind close to the boards are a penalty.
  9. The Ref's are responsible to protect the players from dangerous hits/play - hits from behind especially when close to the boards included. They failed miserably and the result is a player was injured. Why are there no direct repercussions to the officials involved? Players are suspended or fined. Why not the officials? I realize they may not work later rounds but that doesn't appear to be enough. I believe if the Sutter boarding is called the Blues may not have continued to run around hitting from behind and Myers isn't injured. Disgusting.
  10. Hope this lights a fire in his belly. He could play lights out for 20 games. If they can get on a roll and stay healthy they have a chance with Markstrom playing at the top of his game. GO CANUCKS GO!
  11. Sekeres is a pouting baby making waves because he is irrelevant . I tuned that guy out a long time ago. It was hard enough listening to his kermit the frog voice with a headcold but it was his know it all presentation that made him impossible to take seriously. Poser and wannabe.
  12. You mean the Calder Cup right?
  13. See my original bolded statament. What a rabbit hole and waste of time based on an observtion that MAY or may not come true that only time will tell. I know you like having the last word from previous experience by engaging - my bad. Please proceed and I will step off. The floor is yours. Enjoy your weekend.
  14. My point exactly, finally. And yes players do leave teams for more money - happens all the time. If you are saying the Canucks as constructed are currently a legitimate contender (especially if at a minimum they aren't able to retain these players and improve the roster further) and therefore these players will automatically take less I am not sure you are being realistic. Then to go on and say they don't fit into your plans if/when they do sign somewhere else for more than you can/have offered is not really a plan it's an adjustment to your original plan becasue you couldn't afford to pay them enough to keep them - lack of cap space.
