  1. Posting Memes after the two Bruins cup losses in the last decade. The endless debates with the posters on this board on the rebuild/retool Benning era, some of them got pretty heated but it all came from a place of wanting this team to be better and having a Cup at the end of the day. Thank you all for the conversations and CDC as a whole for the memories!
  2. Been on team tank since we got swept by the Sharks in '13 and every year since. Now isn't the time to do it. We're at the point where any potential benefit we get from the draft is offset by the damage it'll do to the core and not extending Petey. Worst part is year 2 and 3 where OEL gives us that 4.7M dead cap. Gotta hope one of the prospects step up.

    Captaincy

    I'm surprised you didn't go with Myyy ShaHronek

    Captaincy

    Its smart in the sense that if you make Petey the captain, he's going to be pestered non stop about his contract situation in the media scrums. Heard a lot of good things about Hughe's leadership in the locker room, and Petey probably prefers not having that distraction to focus on the season.
  5. The trade is Oliver Moore + 2nd for me. Walk out of the draft with a future 2C. Of course, if we can keep Petey with a playoff berth this is a good outcome. We just need to rebuild traditionally after the Petey era. It's sickening seeing the Shithawks draft Bedard and Moore in rd. 1
  6. Leafs are happy they keep their guy. Rest of the NHL is happy Leafs are again hamstringing themselves cap wise in constructing an actual playoff team. Win. Win.
  7. The PK is completely rebuilt in the offseason at a bargain (cole, soucy, blueger, suter). I'm cautiously optimistic, we just have to make it through November with an even record or better. Franchise is literally playing to keep petey at this point haha.
  8. Demko stays healthy for the season (and playoffs)
  9. Someone at Canucks army is creaming themselves right now. They've been shouting about this player for a while.
  10. Mentioned it a bunch of times, but it bears repeating, 30-31 (kraken) other GMs experienced the pandemic, and 16 of them made playoffs, and cup contenders were put together on tighter cap situations than Benning. No excuse here. The expansion drafts are even less of an excuse, Benning lost less during those drafts than other teams that had to lose core players. You can't blame the circumstances considering everyone else experienced it and he navigated them as poorly as one could. The only IF i would venture is that had Benning had that extra cap space, he would have squandered it, he's shown that he doesn't prioritize fixing his internal budget over pursuing a player that catches his eye. The theory is correct, if we're talking about the hey day of this, this team had arguably five guys playing below their contracts (LE, Sutter, Beagle, Roussel, Myers) . That's too much of an anchor even for Hughes and Petey on their ELCs. Bolded: was that Sutter or Beagle? When we dissect this, it's not that impressive. Myers has been with us 4 seasons. All but 2 of his seasons is 50% of his time here. And, having a huge share of a miniscule pie isn't that impressive. If I reword your technically correct phrase, we can say Myers was a 21 pt defenseman for two of his four years here on a 6M contract. Is that a market value 6 Mil defenseman? Is the Canucks production from the back end considered league average where a phrase like 'having the highest point shares' has any meaningful weight? I'd say no.
