Nostalgia

If Toronto can pay their 4 top paid players 11.6, 11, 10.9 and 6.9 I'm sure our management can make our cap work. Horvat wants to stay, we want him to stay, we can do it.

WooWoooooooo!

I don't disagree. I did like the role players that he brought in: Malholtra, Lapierre, Torres was good for a while. Forgive me if those weren't Gillis pickups. I somewhat remember him following a money ball type theory. Maybe I was drinking the Gillis koolaid it was quite a while ago.

I know people here aren't the biggest fan of Kesler's or Gillis'. I remember him speaking recently of when Gilis was in office, he wasn't afraid of spending/doing absolutely everything to help the players such as hiring sleep doctors and it really had an effect on Kes, said it gave them an extra jump with recovery. As we know we consistently have the worst/near the worst travel schedule. This season was a great example of that.

When someone sticks out as much as Motte, Hoglander, Miller it's a sign you need to keep them. I wish Mgmt could see that.

"This is not related at all, but call out our shady tactics and your management is looking for new jobs." "Now tell the Sportsnet guys to reiterate it has nothing to do with the statement." "Oh and tell the refs to "watch" the players, we want a message sent."

Apologies for the angle on the 2nd, that's Kesler and Virtanen. Petey was a lucky find online, waiting to get a case to hang on the wall.

Just listened to the full 30 min. Jim was very open about everything. Looking forward to the resume myself. We should know more about the process in the next few days to few weeks from what I understand.

It depends on what Barrie thinks he's worth on this team, we have an upcoming dynasty if we play our cards right. Barrie could be part of it, we'll also be fine without him.

Myers is similar to a less established Edler. Let him figure out his role with the team and get comfortable in Vancouver before the fan base is ready to ship him out. I can't be alone in seeing he was crucial in times this past season.

No, even better, Leafs can't afford to retain Barrie and apparently he wants to come here. I'm hoping JB & Co. can work something to keep all our valuables and somehow squeeze in Barrie, if that means letting Stecher walk, convincing LE to retire, and then doing something with the Baer/Sutter/Rousell contracts it would make us a serious contender. A lot of moves would need to be made but I have faith in this management.

Goldobin was given a fair shake. Maybe he could've earned a few more minutes (when we didn't have anyone to play in the top 6). If he had earned Green's trust to play more than just waiting for passes or skating around he may have stuck around longer. I wish him the best, maybe he can come back to the NHL at some point in his career. Good luck Goldy, wish you all the best in your home country!

I definitely agree, Schenn was a pleasant surprise although temporary. Hughes has been an unbelievable addition to the team and we lucked out with the kids maturity, professionalism, skillset, and the list goes on. Let's give Tryamkin a chance to prove himself, we all know he's itching to get back in a Canucks jersey and show he's an NHL player!

I like these guys' thinking. Give it a shot, Tram and Huggy!
