NHL'er

Already a very solid #1 in Buffalo and he’s not even 20

And the Sabres just won in OT!!!

If he stays healthy, I think Dumba will have more goals. I think point totals will be very close. Dumba probably has the edge in +/- as well. There is also the potential for the dreaded "sophmore slump" for Dahlin, though I wouldn't count on that for a player of his calibre.

You could also look at if you are doing the opposing GM a favour by upgrading him in goal. 

I think I have convinced myself the other way from choosing to go for Dumba. Coming off injury as well... Keep Dahlin and Kuemper.

Don't invite those people back into your party.

@Nuxfanabroad which one? going to listen to it on repeat lol 

It's My Party, by Leslie Gore.

Became kinda a cliche, when we were kids. Sisters would wail that song when anyone's plans got kiboshed..guess in context it was usually okay for a chuckle.

I hope your next shindig is like SRV's, "House Is Rockin"(don't bother knockin')...

Keep in touch online, and after a bit of time you'll both know if you want to see each other again.  if so, one will fly to meet the other in their home country, you spend some time together, and then you should know.

@Agoork solid advice, thanks! And thanks rest of CDC ahaha especially @debluvscanucks 

I was actually in the same boat.  Met a girl from Denmark in the Caribbean and we only had a week together before she went back home.  After keeping in touch, I flew to Europe to see her 6 months later - was only supposed to stay a week, but extended it to 2 weeks, we fell in love, then shortly after, spent the summer together camping and travelling around BC and Alberfta, and fate was sealed.   I married her overlooking Bow Falls in Banff, and we now have 2 teenage kids. 

Maybe the pillow of smog that covers Hong Kong could be seeded with cannabis?  

I don't blame the people in Hong Kong.  China is breaking the terms of the deal they made with the UK and HK's politicians are completely complicit in selling their autonomy away at the expense of their people.

Strangely it only takes losing a cup final to make Vancouverites riot. 

Wonder which of our rights would have to be threatened for people to react here?

Lol 3.5 x 4. Tanev's contract is insane.

Easily Ferland, it's dumb to give depth players term.

According to some on here Lucic at 6 x 4 years is what we need 

Ferland all day any day for me - love this signing

Anyone remember an old animated clip on YouTube where some GM's from teams that he's meeting butcher his name in all kinds of ways?  "By-foo-loo-GEE-Lee-in".  "It's Buff-Lin".  

I did a bit of a double take, took me a few second to realize who he was referring to. Truly fantastic name butchering, gotta love it!

actually like big buff, just didnt when he was with the hawks.

the issue will be cap circumvention

it is not a friend of bettman

if he views a transaction as being framed to accomplish cap circumvention

he'll bring out the big guns and luongo the teams

@Ghostsof1915 someone who knows how the real world works unlike some Mr Drive-By

review last year's posts after the draft

people were saying the same thing about lind and gadj

let's see how the next year progresses before suggesting players have arrived

the players who really arrived were the ones that were drafted and then blew it all up in their next season, brock, ep40, gaudette, etc... dahlin did fine too. but then cratered in north america

lind and gadj did not shine in their draft +1 season

i'm gonna celebrate more once we see some progression from the newly drafted lot

JB seemed pretty pumped about him.   Brackett as well.  "best hands in the draft" lol.  High praise

You mean like how Dan Marino dropped to the end of the first round in 1983? 

Why stop at him? With enough Photoshop prowess, we could have Hughes and Kakko recreate the opening of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. 

.

Carolina matches 

Not sure if Aho does that well in the Western conference. Not sure if 2 1sts, 2nd and a 3rd are worth giving up. Lots of question marks in this trade.

Carolina has the cap space to match. As much as I'd like to see Aho on the Canucks, its not going to happen.

He's definitely a keeper.  No question.

They’re better imo. They don’t have a single flaw in their line up and they’ve destroyed nearly everyone they play. 

They get 10~20% more cap space than rivals. It's bullsh*t

@Nuxfanabroad yea fully agreed. stupid Florida. surprised it hasn't been addressed yet 

Do it

Plus Leivo isn't one of the laziest floaters in the whole league.  Good luck moving that bum's contract, Dumbass.

I still can’t believe Wee Willie got those dollars.  He’s getting more than a lot of really honest hockey players, like Bo!  What the hell are Matthews and Marner going to get?  14 million?  They’re both twice as good as Willie Boy.  

I keep routing for him

......to continue sucking!

Suck it Dumbass Toronto, your guy is total dud. A soft floaty pretty boy prima Donna

Most of the girls working the red light district in Amsterdam are from Prague. 

I know what videos you have been watching 

highly offensive comment

 don't make me triggered

jk I am slovak and love my czech and slovak women. Hands down I love Norweigan women the most. 

Maybe he didn't want to take the point away from a teammate.

I was wondering that to, but if you watch the replay around 2:00 minute mark and slow down the video it goes off the Blues player.

...and Leivo was shaking his head, that he didn't touch Boesers' hattrick goal.

what, are you a plumber?

Alf should talk...he's a guy that can't even be bothered to do a courtesy flush when he's done a huge number 2.

Hey @NewbieCanuckFan Mrs. Alf had auto flush installed on the toilets.  Alf now does his business in flower pots.  

I'd say, right now it probably goes

Tkachuk

Toss up between EP and Dahlin

At this point for me its Petey , then Dahlin and then Tkachuk. However you can not discount the Eastern Media - not so much as Bias as they don't get to see Elias play as much. Kind of like the Linden - Leetch race. Elias needs to run away with it in order to win IMO

Tkachuk is scoring at a higher rate than EP is

LL I heard the same crap about Gretzky the entire time he played. 

He has 1138 points, in 881 games and still going. 

5 100+ point seasons

Over a point a game in the last 4 seasons.

2 Art Ross

2 Conn Smythe Trophies

2 Hart Trophies

2 Rocket Richard Trophies.

3 Stanley Cups

2 Olympic Golds

I wish more Canadian players whined like that. 

He's the captain, it's his job to whine. But honestly, he's toned it down for the past what, seven years now?

I wasn't criticizing the Cros, just a little poke while pointing out he has big pull with the refs. He's the best player of the 2000's.

In points - 3rd in the Pacific, 8th in the West and tied 16th in the league.

In point percentage - 4th in the Pacific, 10th in the West and 24th in the league.  

Canucks are the only team to have played 23 games which is insane given that they are also the only team with 14 road games.  

It's really early in the season.  Regardless of what the makeup of the conference is, it takes a certain amount of sucking REALLY bad to be that out of a playoff spot right now.

remain optomistic

hardest part of the schedule is done

majority of the remaining games are at home

january is typically injury month for the canucks

but this season they hardly travel that month

they should be back a full strength before christmas

hockey gods have vowed to then lay off the canucks injury epidemic for 6 weeks

so we can watch the team shine

and then whammy them double hard shortly before the tdl

or maybe they will just forget about the team

and we'll just see the team progress and mature and gain a wild card spot

Thank god we don't live in that world

They didn't know they were going to get Samuel Girard.  

brutal

who would you rather have: Pettersson, Boeser, Bo, or Hughes?  We have them all!!!!!!!!!
