  1. No one remembers PA saying he might try and search for a RHD and 3C from within? I'd rather give our prospects a shot and some experience anyway to see how they're progressing and Myers is off the books next year anyway with half his salary headed for Petey and Podz and other bottom 6 who will need small raises like Hogs and have some in the bank for Kuz. This year we could snag a nice shot at a future top 4 D with our 11th and draft a D as well with our first. We're not sitting in a bad spot IF we do make a point of sticking to building from the goalie out with D first, pretty simple BUT actually doing it WITH DEPTH as it should have been but never has been done here yet .. can't skip D depth for F sakes! Lmao! Are we ever going to learn that lesson? At the end of the day that's in JR/PA's hands, can it just be this once? Please FFS!!!! Yeah normally for this team, it's fun to watch winning lots during the season beating some of the league's best but I watch every year knowing we won't get anywhere in the post season because of simple lack of depth... Entertaining seasonal hockey is fun yeah but watching some other team hoist the cup is getting a tad old every year...
  2. Well isn't that the way of the team since the 70's? Why build a team right? We've won so many cups doing it the opposite way!!!! Yeesh...
  3. How about just NO, I wouldn't make that move, it's time to stop signing over priced players and grow our own for a change, we don't have enough depth for a cup run and probably won't for the next 2 seasons and by the time the 3rd season starts we could already have someone in that spot if we draft a D with our 11th now or trade for D prospects who already look good at a fraction of the cost. Since when did we EVER win running out and spending huge $ on UFA's in the last 40 years work for us, I don't know, like never! #1 reason there is no visits by Lord Stanley yet and if we keep trying that road over and over again it's not going to change. Selling the farm doesn't and hasn't ever worked now so why keep trying it or evern thinking about it??? Like wtf??
  4. Your such a twit, never did I say I was agreeable with everything JB did, however he did some good things too but hey genius, for your info, look how many people here and on other social platforms said we got fleeced by signing a 3rd line center, and one of the few of the media who got it right was Bob McKenzie, he knew JT played on Stamko's line and looked great doing it and noted Vancouver did great and he was no 3rd line center on any other team that didn't have the depth that Tampa had at the time but hey why would you believe that? Oh wait, his first season he was toe to toe with OV in scoring and then proceeded to put up 100 pts.. yeah some overpaid 3rd line center hey? Bet you were one of them who fell for that b.s. that the vast majority of media was spewing out. See? Your my prime example.. So tell me Mr Genius, your JB when he was hired, what would you have done in his shoes and be specific then tell me the 2 major hurdles he faced immediately that no other GM in the league couldn't have done anything about either... If you can't, pretty sure that would make YOU the narcissist Again, I never said anywhere JB didn't make mistakes as every GM does, but I'm not a idiot to say he didn't do good things too like you...
  5. Are you for real? So you have any idea how many people come on here regurgitating the media b.s. on here and swear up and down that's the way to go, as in whatever they happen to be saying at the time and sorry, I played hockey and watched this franchise since 1974 so yeah I do know what I'm talking about like it or not.. Let me guess, your in the one and done crowd who thinks we can buy a Stanley cup without depth? Probably, that's most of the fan base and that's been going on since day one.. has it ever worked? Lmao!
  6. It's not like we can't get a 3rd pairing guy with his cap space which is probably going to happen, can't see us keeping him now, time is not on his side.
  7. That's because a lot of us know it wasn't all JB's fault but keep listening to the media, they know everything right? Now you do... JB was probably one of the few people who would have actually came to Vancouver to take over the 2012 shi_ show I wouldn't have, too many stupid fans who still listen and believe the useless bush league media, that's nothing new though...
  8. Well I think management was counting on more interest in Boeser and this was a just in case thing, albeit a expensive just in case thing nonetheless. Anyway, you guess why is as good as mine on it but I don't think they wanted to be behind the 8 ball until the last minute and have to sacrifice more like sweeteners, our 11th for instance, doesn't seem to me like they want to break up our current roster. I'm not sure if Bear will be signed again either... It wouldn't surprise me if they reeled in his 2.4? Mil cap on top of this. Hard to say
  9. THIS! ^. I'd call it a disaster shi_ show but that's you being nice right? Lmao!
  10. It's true, and this is the first time in our franchise history we could start building a team for once instead of trying to buy one... Will we do that? Idk but I sure the F hope so! This is sooooo getting old don't you think?
  11. Nice to see people getting that, I would have given him another shot and if he aced it at the beginning of the season, keep him or ask him to waive if anyone inquires about him, the way things are going, a top four D is going cost LARGE, sooner than later, long before his contract expires and it will even out his value in the long run even after he declines due to age.
  12. In your dreams..like we have depth for that, not so much.
  13. And done! Never saw it coming or thought it would happen but..
  14. Well we need a cpl of short term contracts and fill those gaps with our own developed picks so we stay under cap and have a good team BUT we still have to picks coming in so odds work for us that we have a few developing that can cover injuries as well.. and keep it competitive on top of it. Ummm that fragile broken actually started in 2012/13 after Boston put us down, and did they ever, not just for the Stanley cup, for years of being fragile except for the odd run when we went on winning streaks here and there but injuries would happen and we'd go on losing streaks too. But we never had any depth and that's still our main concern, can't win a cup without it...
  15. Remind me to cross my fingers! Honestly though, wish we could have traded half the roster, if not more in 2013 and started to build a team for once but MG had most of it all locked up long term. Meh.. such be the life of a nux fan right?
