  1. Don't know man. Messier's time with the Canucks led a lot of fans (including myself) to check out on the team. Was it all Messier's fault, no. Is this teams poor play for the last 10 years Miller's fault, no. Both players had the chance to provide hope to a team by being the star players they are paid to be. Both players instead are terrible teammates who don't seem to care about the fan base.
  2. At this point I'd be happy with a bag of pucks for Miller. I don't care about losing an "asset" for nothing. I'd argue at this point that he is a negative asset to the team.
  3. It's the no emotion that kills me. It's been like this for years.
  4. Mine was when they resigned Pearson. That signalled that nothing was going to change. Bad contracts to aging players past their prime.
  5. I think the key to the FA signings is what tier of free agent you are chasing. In Tampa Bay's case they are not trying to find a top tier FA to plug a hole in their roster. A team like Edmonton and NY have both over paid free agents to get them to sign. In NY's case it is going to hurt them when their young forwards are out of their ELCs. I think the best recipe is to draft your top end talent and win a trade or two, then fill out the depth with FA signings. That will ensure you are never overpaying your free agents.
  6. Gudas is the type of player we have needed on our defence for years. Good bottom pair Dman, who is physically engaged every game and not afraid to stick up for his team.
  7. The Canucks were better off with 5 Defensemen when they dressed Guddy. We don't need a plug on Defense just to toughen up our lineup.
  8. I just think it comes down to them wanting to make as much money as possible and not being willing to endure a full rebuild, because it could hurt revenue. If there were fans in the building last year we probably would have seen change already. I'm sure next season we will have a new GM and coach. Hopefully the owner takes a step back and lets someone with experience run his hockey team.
  9. I'd take Kane 50% retained for Tyler Meyers. Then bury Kane in the ECHL if possible. Take Meyers salary off the books giving us a little more room to rebuild the D-core.
  10. I agree with you that Aqualini doesn't seem to care about what his fan base thinks. Regarding Benning and Green, sure fire them, but it's not going to make much of a difference. There is something rotten with this group of players. Whether you let JB sort that out or someone new, a big chunk of this team needs to be torn off and traded away. I have no idea who the cancer is in the room, but based on how they are playing and their percieved give-a-$&!# meter I want to see all of: Petey, Boeser and Miller gone. I want the C taken away from Horvat and given to OEL. This season is already wasted, so I don't care what the return is for those players. We are going to be bad regardless. I just want to see a team that plays for each other. A team I can get behind and love again.
  11. Why? How do you know they won't? Are you saying they couldn't use a player of Petterson's capability? And also, after his bridge deal Petterson will be making at least 9 million a season. Probably north of 11. He is one of the best centres in the league.
  12. Why don't you explain how he drafts well. Outside of Boeser and Petterson, give me a good NHL player he has drafted that wasn't the obvious pick? Hughes and Hoglander were obvious picks. Good luck with the rest of his genius drafting. He has not outdrafted the average NHL GM. Do a little research on the other GM's around the league and their drafting. Benning is dead average. Not great, not bad. Just in the middle of the pack. Unfortunately for Canucks fans he is bad at every other aspect of GMing.
  13. I think this is closer for Demko. I don't think he has the track record for anything higher at the moment. I also don't think Binnington did. St. Louis is going to regret the hell out of that contract. I hope that Petterson and Hughes sign for what you have listed, but I really think that Petterson will 8 x 3 and Hughes will be 7 x 3. I hope I am wrong because we have a large portion of our roster to fill out with almost nothing after those three sign.
  14. Very well said. completely agree with you. There is something terribly wrong with that team. I think they have more talent than us, but for some reason are stuck being horrible. I would hate to cheer for them right now. That trade proposal looks good. At this point I am really gun shy. I think its fair trade because it makes me want to cry at the thought of losing those guys.
