But this one is a head scratcher. You can't get a player to play if they're injured... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't get a player to play if they're injured... it is sarcasm coupled with irony in their truest forms oj is unique as he was in fact called up last season and turned out he was injured that fact makes the post i responded to a bit funny (as that is clearly not what the poster intended to convey - it twists his meaning) the sarcasm part is suggesting that very same thing be repeated i'll throw in an emoji next time to indicate i'm not being serious since that seems to help clarify subtle comments for those who seem to miss them Edited July 16, 2019 by coastal.view 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your post makes sense now. Better not to call him up at all. Just get him to start in VAN LOL. Edited July 16, 2019 by Dazzle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) If OJ can make the team out of training camp, then this would be a positive in his development...other "D" from his class have played in the NHL and are ahead of him in their development...however, if OJ can make the jump, then he is not that far behind the best in his draft class Segachev 72 pts, McAvoy 60 pts, and Chychrun 54 pts.

aGENT Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 This 'NHL games played already' argument is so head-achingly myopic and lacking context. Fabbro only played 4 games late last season and has had nowhere near the injuries of Juolevi. If he'd been hurt the last couple weeks of the season, would he be a 'potential bust' too? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabbro was in college last year... age and league are valid indicators of ability. Juolevi would have played NHL games had he not gotten injured though.

If only JB could get someone who knows something about risk and contracts..... the players wouldn’t care in all likelihood. If their production declines and they get sent to the minors - they would rather be bought out and then sign a new contract more appealing to nhl teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So some of the time you are chasing a ghost For sure - I get a lot of misspells too, sometimes even gibberish. But I do proofread, and that's my beef - some don't. I accept that in my example (complimentary vs complementary) it is not so obvious as many don't know the distinction, but another is "reigns" instead of "reins" (eg: "give Bo the reigns already" .... huh?). A simple reading of what is about to be submitted would show that it doesn't make sense.

For me, Benning's biggest mistake was in not retaining Laurence Gilman. He is now working for the Leafs, and hate them as much as we want to, but they are managing to the cap much better than we are. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His cap hit just fixes all our problems There are no cap issues once only 23 players are counted towards the cap. Tanev probably does not get traded unless we get a top 4 RD back. Otherwise our D goes back to being in over its head imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronto had to trade their 1st round pick to dump a contract (marleau). Toronto signed nylander to a ridiculous contract and paid matthews too much too soon. Toronto is managing their cap way better than the Canucks!! Edited July 21, 2019 by Kanukfanatic 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
