Great GDT over on CFF tonight! I’m signing off with this triple mention…

 

…and one more thanks to @-SN-, @-AJ-, @-DLC- for keeping this place going all these years.

 

 

 

[[PGT] Rangers(4) vs Canucks(3)]

So quiet in here. 
 

Vintage, how are you doin?

[[proposal] Peeke for Garland]

JFC, this board...

 

Garland will be a cap dump. 

We will pay a team to take his contract.

 

Peeke is a 25 year old 6'4 RHD.

Even with his poor numbers last year, he's still fetching a 1st round pick, and maybe a sweetener.

He's cost controlled for another two years at 2.75 per. He has a massive amount of value.

 

You aren't even on the same planet of value here.

If you want to move Garland and his 3 remaining years of bloated contract for Peeke, you're going to be adding the 11th overall pick, and maybe be getting a 2nd or 3rd round pick back if you're lucky. Guys like Garland aren't hard to find. Big, cost controlled, young, RHD are extremely hard to find.

 

Please for the love of god people, stop posting these asinine trade proposals.

Yeah, Peeke for Garland is totally unreasonable, and outside the realm of possibility. I see that now.

 

Thanks for your wisdom here.

Damn. I haven't been around that long but I've been a long time lurker. Love you all. Such a shame we couldn't celebrate a cup together.

 Come over to the new site. There’s a great crew that’s joined there already

I hope you will join. You have been one of my most appreciated posters over the years. Initial bias no doubt due to your username from my favourite books, but you always seem to have intelligent things to say and are appreciated. 
 

Same with @SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME  

 

Hope you both migrate to the new site. 

Yes please

For those considering the new site https://www.forumcanucks.com/

 

• Many admins and active members have joined already, and it has a great vibe
• You can transfer your post count & rep points
• When you turn off dark mode (scroll down, bottom left) it looks and works nearly identical to this site

I know how you feel brother, going through the worst time in my life.

This community and my fantasy leagues on it give some sort of comfort.

Hang in there. You’re not alone.

So...this is obviously disappointment. The decision wasn't mine, but apologies for the timing, I know it's a bit awkward with the season so close. Like many of you, this forum has been a big part of my life. I've always used it as my source for news and discussion, and I've enjoyed the many many personalities that have been through. I also didn't enjoy a few, but even those battles will be remembered fondly.

 

As to why? I can't tell you that - but I think there is a focus on other social media channels now, and the forum hasn't been seeing a lot of growth.

 

There are of course some existing alternatives, but none of them have the same long-form format as we have here.

 

To try to support the existing community and provide a place where everyone can continue, or simply come together, I've booted up a new forum at https://www.forumcanucks.com/ (soon to likely be https://www.canucksfanforum.com). The structure mostly follows what is here to make moving over simple and easy, but of course it is open to suggestion and change. I'll keep it going as long as possible.

Thanks Stealth! Appreciate you keeping the same interface. I just set up an account as Huggy Bear (wanted that as my next username )

So where can we all go to keep everyone together? 

Sounds like @-SN- has something to share on that front. 
 

@Jack Gordon suggested Canucks Corner, and Reddit has come up

It's been an amazing ride, everybody. I've called this place my hockey home for over 13 years and I've been incredibly lucky to help out with an amazing staff group for about half of that time as well.

 

I'm sure I'll see you guys again. Canuck fans have a way of finding each other. 

Thanks for being an admin. Always appreciate your posts, too.

Heartbreaking. 

Utmost thank you to everyone who has contributed to this forum and made my life that much more enjoyable. 
 

Hope we can all reconvene again. 

My thoughts exactly. What a great group of knowledgeable, passionate fans. I’m going to miss this place.

Multiple accounts..  I've been on this forum for well over 10 years. Literally decades of my life following this team I'm so passionate about.

 

This was the best place, vintage made it the best spot to get any info not just Canucks related news.

 

CDC will be missed.

Same here…two decades

Well that was disappointing news after a 7-1 win…

 

Where can I talk hockey with you fine folks next month?
