Fozzy Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 $6 million a year for five years at aged 36! good money if you can get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I can't stand that bald bastard. But if they put that in writing, then a contract's a contract. Not like this cash cow of a franchise can't afford it. What really bugs me is how team management at the time completely bent over to sign this old fart to millions, while at the same time nickel-and-diming Pavel Bure until he refused to even play for us. Sooooo ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJDDawg Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I can't believe how our management and ownership at the time would actually include such a clause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jägermeister Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Same old CDC. I can't believe this crap.............like kids in the playground wanting to get even for stuff that just happens. For a start I bet most of you and nearly all of the fan base were wetting themselves at the thought of the guy starting in Vancouver........typical. Suddenly now a guy who was a stellar performer in New York becomes "What really bugs me is how team management at the time completely bent over to sign this old fart to millions" Are you listening to yourselves? He was too good for the Cannucks at the time..............plain and simple. It makes me wonder if your pants have even dried out enough yet to cope with getting Doan..............who also has all the credentials to be a "sign this old fart to millions" Doan the guy that MG is being pilloried for just now because he isn't chucking the farm at. Hindsight is wonderful..............and it lives and breathes in it's essence on CDC. Last 6 seasons prior to joining the Canucks. 1991-92.......107 pts in 79 games +31 1992-93.........91 pts in 75 games -6 1993-94.........84 pts in 76 games +25 1994-95.........53 pts in 46 games +8 1995-96.........99 pts in 74 games +29 1996-97.........84 pts in 71 games +12 Obviously we should never have signed the old fart.................1983–84 – Stanley Cup Champion – Edmonton Oilers1984–85 – Stanley Cup Champion – Edmonton Oilers1986–87 – Stanley Cup Champion – Edmonton Oilers1987–88 – Stanley Cup Champion – Edmonton Oilers1989–90 – Stanley Cup Champion – Edmonton Oilers1993–94 – Stanley Cup Champion – New York Rangers1989–90 – Hart Memorial Trophy Winner1991–92 – Hart Memorial Trophy Winner1983–84 – Conn Smythe Trophy Winner1989–90 – Lester B.

canuckelhead70 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I have a grievance with Messier for being a complete tool and screwing our team. Can we file a grievance against him? Some consider Messier one of the greatest leaders in hockey, I highly doubt that. The only good thing that came out of cry baby Messier's tender here was he left (quit) our team after 3 years and we didn't hve to deal with him for 5 years. Once a quitter, always a quitter Messier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SukhKular Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Hey whatever. Money owed is money owed. Just goes to show you how cheap McCaw was over the years. FA had to come in and bail him out. And it won't surprise me if he also has to shell out some cash for the Bertuzzi incident. (Frack, could we wrap THAT up already?) I don't like how he 'came in here and ruined things' either, but Messier is a hall-of-famer and one of the most respected men in the game. Patching up how he ended his term here can only serve to help our cause. It's good to see that we are no longer bush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
