Good job JB !

For a certain user that was downplaying the OEL connection and thinking JB can’t make a vision of that of the Dallas blueline, JB literally mentioned both the Stars & Lightning defense to something he’d like to incorporate. Both teams have not 1 but 2 clear cut guys capable of moving the puck up the ice. He said we have Hughes but would like to add another guy via trade if it can get done. Literally everything’s aligned up until this point...would be a shocker if a deal doesn’t get done at this rate.

haha No that user has a reputation of being a teacher’s pet / only one right in discussions. There’s a handful of members who I know of that choose not to interact with him. Similarly, I quite simply said no to his reply !

Oh no, I very easily can. Just choosing not to since you asked. If anyone else does I’ll more than gladly share it with them

What’s what you thought? Me saying no? Let me be the first to tell you no, that’s not what you thought. You definitely anticipated me to explain my reasoning for it hence why you asked. So yea, you’re wrong. And because it’s you, no.

No.

Exactly, so who would they trade for an extra $2.25M over what they’re unwilling to go over for Krug? They wouldn’t. And they won’t.

Arizona will sooner or later be forced to trade OEL here to Vancouver. ...this idea that they’re waiting on Boston to decide on Krug makes zero sense. Krug is A.) better than OEL B.) a few months younger & C.) if Boston won’t pay Krug, then why on earth would they trade for OEL who’s the inferior dman and will cost more than what Krug will end up signing for? Imo b/c of this, all signs lead to Yotes having to take whatever we offer and meeting at a middle ground to complete a deal. I would be shocked if Boston traded for OEL for reasons mentioned above. Doesn’t make any sense for them to do.

As I said it’s a mix of things. And yes a big part of that was the Stars blueline if you even watched the series (doubt). Stars forwards as well as defense sustained pressure by moving the puck up ice and not holding on to it like we did. Outside of Hughes, for the most part the rest of our defense was incapable of doing that constantly. 1/6 dmen is a recipe for disaster. The Stars clearly studied tape and applied that change to get the best of Vegas which turns out overwhelmed them as they took them out. But again, stop going off topic and opening different avenues and doors. Honestly, I’m surprised and glad to see you drop the weight thing. It was outright dumb and wrong but even though you didn’t admit to it (which you’ve never done so wouldn’t expect you to), your silence and non-mention of it is something I’m proud of. Didn’t double down !

He also said they were able to take the puck out of the zone and sustain offensive zone time which played a major factor in their success. But once again, please go ahead and conveniently ignore that part which he said. “The irony is delicious” - seconded. Overhaul does not equate to weight. How are you even holding discussion with others with such poor general knowledge? You can weigh more than me but I can be “stronger” than you. And by “breaking down” a team, it doesn’t just have to literally mean physically. It’s by hockey smarts and ability which the Stars defense had a mix of. ...look no further than our very own team - is Stecher not strong because he doesn’t weigh as much as others? Was Hansen not strong? Were the Sedins’ not strong? I guess you think Gudbranson was strong for us solely off his weight even though he didn’t know how to throw his weight around and use it. There are many heavy “softies” that are not “strong”. Physically or on the puck or mentally. Now go twist something else out of context...I should take my own advice which Deniro seems to have and not bother with you. Delusional, bonkers, confusing, misleading, whatever you may want to call it - is all that your posts are full of. And you double down every time. My advice would be to stop living up to your name and being mindful of others. How is it that everyone else besides you is wrong? Should sleep on that. But for the sake my own sanity and others that have had meaningful discussion in this thread, yea sure you’re right & we’re all wrong. I’m sure that must be music to your ears

Sorry but is this MMA or boxing? Why did you bring out the weighing scale? Not sure what promoted you to go off topic and mention such a ludicrous thing but let me be the first to say, overhaul ≠ weigh scale

Do you realize he’s said he’ll have to make “tough decisions” on the teams pending UFA’s too? Yes. But instead, you twisted it to as if he’s catering towards ONLY prioritizing them and nothing beyond that. Which is ludicrous. No team only works internally, they look externally to bring in outside reinforcements. You are completely forgoing that which is sad being it’s common sense management, hockey 101 some would say. And again, you seem incapable of adding up rather obvious clues. As of now, those clues are as simple as 1+1=2 taking into consideration JB’s track record/willingness to bring in a top pair dman from seasons past, the most trusted NHL insider+Canucks insider saying they’re looking to overhaul, and the cherry on top them saying we’re in talks to bring in an OEL. ...when there’s smoke, sometimes it’s a pile of steaming hot you-know-what. But in this instance, it’s clear as day it’s a blazing fire that is being acknowledged by all. Except you it seems...and again not even sure why myself and others are even entertaining your replies. It’s a never ending circle in which you have shown no admitting to even conceivably being wrong once. Something as straight forward as this. Good day to you !

Don’t bother, Deniro. This user is constantly talking out of his depth and then doubles down every time when proven wrong. Not sure if it was this thread or another - but there was a sequence where he thought Boeser was a reliable defensive forward and a reason not to trade away when underlying numbers show he is the worst on our team amongst forwards. ...I’m also not surprised he edited his post - now I cannot respond to what is was. Just let him ramble on - b/c in fact - his username suits him perfectly - being that he is in fact: old news. Just so full on himself and false narratives assuming he knows more than not just fellow users like us but the top hockey insiders across hockey & Canucks. There’s no point in engaging with someone like that, you simply cannot win.

Once again, wrong.

Seems you’re overreacting and wrong again. Stop thinking you’re unique by pretending to be in the loop knowing what the team is or isn’t doing. Most people - including myself - would much rather trust arguably the best hockey insider in Fried & Canucks insider in Dhaliwal. ...don’t know what caused you to react in such a way but yea you’re off the mark. Not hard to add 1+1 when JB has been shown to try trading for Subban/Karlsson back in the day and many others. He’s “overhauled” the defense last season and will continue to. More than 50% of the blueline come next season will possibly consist of dmen who haven’t been with the team for more than 2 years. If that’s not an overhaul than I’m not sure what is. Canucks clearly interested in adding a couple new dmen at the least and linked to multiple guys (Cernak/OEL/Dillon/Ekblad) to continue on from the overhaul from the last off season.

Florida welcomes home the snip show ft. “D-Boss”

Great idea, love it ! However b/c of the previous contract signings from years past that have accumulated up to this point, we’re at a point where the team won’t even be able to retain all of our key pending UFA’s and have bigger needs (defense and/or goalie if Marky walks due to lack of $). But god damn if we weren’t handicapped financially, Maroon would be the perfect player to carry the torch from Dorsett & now Ferland...sucks we can’t throw a contract his way unless JB maneuvers a way. And I wouldn’t be all that shocked if he did now that I think of it. He loves those types of guys. Maroon fits his kinda guy 110%

Independent journalists and reporters and news outlets on social media and other platforms are much more reliable. In fact, I think they’re turning into and may already be the new MSM. People are moving with the times and it’s readily available to see. Nice not having to decipher bs like the TV MSM we’ve been accustomed to... Ratings/views wise, it echoes the same sentiment that there’s been a shift. MSM on TV is running but taking losses. this is why I don’t trust classic MSM for the most part

& Joe Biden is not that person !

Any evidence to back this claim?
