lmm Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Which one - giving the ''C" to Messier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 TO CAROLINA: Kirk McLean and Martin Gelinas TO VANCOUVER: Sean Burke, Geoff Sanderson and Enrico Ciccone - TO BUFFALO: Geoff Sanderson TO VANCOUVER: Brad May - TO NEW YORK ISLANDERS: Trevor Linden TO VANCOUVER: Todd Bertuzzi, Bryan McCabe, 3rd Round Pick(Jarkko Ruutu) - TO PHILADELPHIA: Dave Babych, 5th Round Pick(Garrett Prosofsky) TO VANCOUVER: 3rd Round Pick(Justin Morrison) - TO NEW YORK ISLANDERS: Gino Odjick TO VANCOUVER CANUCKS: Jason Strudwick - TO PHILADELPHIA: Sean Burke TO VANCOUVER: Garth Snow - TO NEW YORK RANGERS: Russ Courtnall Esa Tikkanen TO VANCOUVER: Sergei Nemchinov Brian Noonan - TO VANCOUVER: Trent Klatt TO PHILADELPHIA: 6TH Round Pick Messier had the C before Keenen got here. Over all I don't hate any of the deals he made, the Babych trade sticks out as his worst, but most of those I would do again. Sanderson for May? every day of the week. Tikkenen for a bag of pucks , yup McLean for Buirke, 2 struggling goalies that continued to struggle- meh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack Attack Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I'm not talking about just any signing, trade, or re-signing, I'm talking about the BIG move. The one that says that we're going for it all this year no matter what? Every move he's made so far has been pretty safe. Think on the same lines as trading for Pronger, Richards, Horton, or signing Hossa. He hasn't made a move on that level yet. The blockbuster type deal.

NucksBruins Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 You mean the guy who made the bold move of trading Federov for Beachamin, signing Niedermeyer to a 4 year 27 million dollar contract, trading some spare parts for Pronger, and firing Babcock and hiring Carlyle? Seems like that worked out pretty good for him. Gillis has the opporunity to make moves like that with Weber or Suter. Time will tell if he can make those bold moves or not.

realnucksfan2010 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Mike keenan publicly calls his players out beacause nothing else has worked, there are several other coaches/GM\s around the league who do the same thing, so blasting Keenan for that is just dumb!!!!

GradinToSmyl Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 The term "goalie graveyard" is tossed around for how tough fans are on our goalies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I am new to hockey so I was hoping you could explain things to me. First, how can you be a Bruins fan and a Canucks fan? Second, what exactly does goalie graveyard mean? I hear lots of people using the term and it sounds really stupid. I'll explain that to you after you respond.

Avicii Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Well, in his defense with Ballard -- he was one of the better defensive defensemen in the league in the top 15 or 30 with hits and blocks every season prior to coming to Vancouver, with 30 points to boot. I think it's fair to say coming to Vancouver killed his career like going to NY killed Redden, Drury and Gomez careers. There's no way to know that a players career is going to fall off the face of the planet by switching teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onesmallleap Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 On the side though- my sisters sitters cousin told me that GMMG has some regularity issues going on so maybe we should cut him some slack..... Hey !! Why don't we as fans have a charity drive to buy GMMG a truckload of centrum?? Help the BrotheR out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 or like the Flyers bold moves with Richard and Carter or the Kings bold moves with bringing in Richards and Carter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksFanMike Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 That was out of neccesity though. Hodgson and his camp wanted out. If he was happy here, he wouldn't have been traded. And as far as Kassian being considered a plug, people who say that know nothing about him. I wouldn't consider a rookie for rookie trade really that bold. I'm talking about landing the big name free agent at all costs, or packaging half of the farm for that legit gamebreaker. That type of thing.

TOMapleLaughs Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Mike Keenan made the boldest trade in Canuck history, so yea, that is what we are talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradinToSmyl Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Why are we successful? Because the Sedins, Kesler, Burrows, Luongo, Edler are capable of destroying other teams. What do they all have in common? Drafted/gotten by Nonis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
