Actually it does, because if you let the guy walk the year before and then the following year you trade assets to just get him again, you're a horrible GM if you're doing that The fact that Benning didn't get anything for Tanev or especially Markstrom after committing all those years to him and turning him into #1 waste all those years to get absolutely nothing back, is actually a joke tbh.

Funny when I posted this yesterday my gut told me you wouldn't agree with him somehow

This is basically what I said yesterday or the day before, the only way it makes sense in signing Edler is if he's a 6th/7th type role player, if he's not and you're expecting more out of him still then you might as well throw in the towel now

If he was a UFA I would do it, but because he isn't and Benning let him go for nothing, trying to trade to get a player back you let walk isn't good.

I know, but I thought after Benn was moved, and not trusting the youth they tried Edler on RD with Hughes a few times I thought.....

That right there is exactly why I believe he is the best player to ever play the game, period.

Benning must be worried about not wanting to run out of time like last year.....

My reaction to Edler not Hamonic

What I really liked seeing last night at the Derby was seeing Ken Griffey Jr. The guy was my idol growing up, I even went to Seattle for his jersey retirement ceremony years ago, I so wanted them to give him a bat let him try and hit one out , but wow his gut has grown even more

Tbh I liked how much Schenn protected Hughes more, but yes Tanev helped Hughes because he was a defensive minded first kind of guy, and that's exactly what Hughes needs as a partner, basically you need to find a Willie Mitchell somewhere for Hughes, but if guys like Myers and Edler are jumping up into the rush paired up with Hughes well that's an automatic fail, but if Edler is still on this team well that's an automatic fail again

I do hope that's not true, I'm not going to ignore that could be a possibility, but I also see a guy who's now won it back to back and basically rubbing it into everyone's faces that no one can beat him, by doing this other players may not show it emotionally but inside because of their competitive nature it does bug them a bit even if their not showing it at the moment. Some players though also can acknowledge when someone is just better and they probably have no chance but will still take in every moment and just enjoy it and try their best. I feel what Pete is doing is actually kind of helping the HR derby to make it more exciting by being cocky, it may help persuade someone else to try and take his spot now. Maybe another incentive to get someone else to try and beat him next year, no one has ever won the HR derby 3 consecutive times in a row, Pete now has a chance at that next year maybe someone would want to try and prevent that....

Or it was the start of Edlers decline... Edler couldn't even score a goal this year.... He's actually never scored less then 5 goals in a single year, but he literally scored 0 this year, if that's not a sign that he's declining then I don't know if you'll ever see one... Edit my bad his rookie season he only had 1G in 22GP

I do hope so, and hopefully not everyone is trying to jump up into the rush anymore and only the ones offensively gifted for it try it occasionally,(cough cough Myers stay back). I really wanted to wait until Seattle picked their players to then see who would be available to grab still, but it looks like they just rather resign these guys instead, don't like this approach like you I want bigger and stronger back there.

He's definitely a beast in the HR derby, watching him walk up and crush the first one in the finals was fun to watch, you just knew he was winning. Let him be cocky that doesn't me, maybe it will help someone like Vladdy step up again and compete next year to shut him up lol, but as long as Pete doesn't trash the league that he's playing in at the same time, then all good, unlike Kuch crying about who wins the Vezna. As you mentioned when you look at stats others are doing better then him, so he can say what he wants but they may not mean much

There are a few factors involved with that statement, yes it can happen, but not always and it also depends on who you're already carrying on the team.

Definitely surprising when most of the play in games under Green are in the Canucks zone, 75% of the games it seems the Canucks are outshot from the opposition and they normally outblock their opponents in shots most games as well. It's very interesting how he coach wants the D jumping up into the rush so much when they play most of the game in their zone already and rely heavily on the D blocking shots. The amount of games Markstrom stole for wins the last previous years was ridiculous to watch, but I haven't seen much changing, Demko is still bailing this team out when he's in net, the majority of play is sill in our zone every game, it definitely seems they play a more defensive style game, so this D jumping in the rush without puck possession in the offensive zone is a fail automatically by the sounds of it. Yes Hughes +/- was worse this year, but he still has a ways to go before he is as bad as Edler was 8 years ago with his league leading -39, but somehow Edler is still good....

Basically fire your coach early in the season and you may have a better chance at a cup

Edler thinks he's 28 still, but plays like he's 48, he's just way to slow, even at the point he will lose the puck and has no chance in catching them he normally takes hooking penalties because he can't catch them. Its not just in the rush, but that's one of the issues. Whether it's the coaches pushing him to do it or if it's him making the decision sometimes, they both are a fail, and I hate the coach so that's easy for me. Hughes doesn't get a free pass from me either, I've acknowledge he needs to improve on his defensive side luckily he's still young and has time to work on it, where Edler is not young anymore and his time is done.

This guy is a clown, someone posted a video of him taking about the NHL playoffs recently I believe it was BoKnows he seems to like this Stephen guy, I can't stand this guy I saw a video of him and that other guy having a debate about a year ago and I was shocked people actually watch and listen to these clowns. Regarding this issue with Ohtani, his apology is meaningless because I saw on his twitter before he apologized he actually double down and posted another video trying to claim the same thing he did on the show earlier in the day. After trying it twice and realizing he's not getting the reaction he wanted from people he then apologized, get this clown out of here. Oh and he supposedly yesterday also got flamed for how he pronounced some Nigerian players name for Basketball I guess they weren't happy with him as well.

You do realize Davis is not a pitcher right? You listed all the pictchers on the IR, normally when a pitcher is injured you call up another pitcher not an OF.... If anything you should of just said because Springer was injured that's why he was up lol, but instead you want to use players that had no reason for him being up. I guess the Jays are the only team in the MLB with injuries, no other teams have those issues I guess, no other teams have pitchers on the IR that they want to bring up an OF instead to replace the pitcher with I believe you should try and shop him first before shopping your prospects first, that's a no brainer.

Too bad some older Canucks fans have a hard time moving on from certain players and letting go, they seem happy with mediocre play and could care less for trying to improve, the fact that some of these fans have watched Edler get burned year after year and it continues to happen and they still turn a blind eye to the problem, and still try to defend him by even saying his in good postion... If you're saying that when Edler is notorious for jumping up into the rush and not being able to get back and be out of position, who are you even watching out there is my question now....

At this rate the Oilers might just resign Peter Chiarelli
