    Beyond our utter lack of systems play/puck support, it's so blatantly obvious but SO MANY people just brush it off as "player X sucks".

     

    Funny how Schmidt was a solid D in VGK, in an appropriate role and appropriately partnered, and has been that again in WPG, approximately role and partner... But "mysteriously" he "sucked" here.... hmmm

     

    Schmidt, Myers, OEL, Gudbranson... All set up to fail here.

    Agreed that it didn’t quite work out here with those players.  So begs the question, what was needed for them to succeed?  A better system? A better partner?

    I didn't know they made Dodge D250's in 2012? Did they mean Ram 2500?

    An update on the Amber Alert…

     

    It is believed that the mom is also travelling with her dad and boyfriend.  Last seen of her dad was in Merritt.  One truck looks to be hauling trailer of stuff.  The other vehicle is towing a large RV trailer.  So it’s likely they’ll hit some obscure camping grounds.

     

    They were supposed to go camping in Kelowna but that booking was canceled.

    Could be.  It's a big list, almost half the league.  I remember a guy saying that alot of Americans had all the Canadian teams on their no trade list except Vancouver.  Can't remember who that player was...

    Possibly Brian Burke.  Heard that on the radio when he was promoting his book a couple of years ago.

    That Duchene buyout barely makes sense. Are they in win now mode when most people see a rebuild. I think they'll be better than a lot of people think. They've never been a fold it and rebuild type of franchise. I guess it saves them money in the long run if they just want to be done with him.

    Same reason Canucks bought out OEL.  The player no longer fits in the teams plan and they need the cap space.  Canucks are like Nashville.  In no man’s land of being stuck in the middle.  Not good enough to be a playoff contender.  Not bad enough for a rebuild to get a top 3 pick.
