Remember when CDC wanted Laich + Prospect + first for Luongo?

 

That still would have been better than Markstrom + salary retained that we got. Matthias no longer counts.

 

We got hosed. 

yeah i liked mattias.  wish we kept him.

If MG hadn't signed Lu to that albatross of a contract we would've gotten a killer return for Bobby Lu. 

You can't focus on that... if he hadn't signed him to that huge contract at a bargain of a caphit for a goalie of Bobby Lu's quality, we wouldn't have been able to afford the teams we had during those dominant years. Ultimately it could have been great, or could have been the start of the rebuild a few years earlier if Lu didn't sign that albatross.... we will never know.

Screw LA. Scumbag organization. The way Vancouver came to an amicable end with Rodin is evidence of how well Vancouver views players. 

Er, Canucks brass led Rodin on for 3 straight years. He was the Ted to our Robin. He got badly treated both here and in Utica, and letting him go back to Europe was the very least he deserved.

I don't think they led him on. He just wasn't good enough to make it in the NHL. Are there particular instances where Rodin was poorly treated?

- Convincing him he was in the team's plans with a 1 year offer designed to save the organisation's face in keeping him, rather than allowing him to leave for another NHL team where he actually stood a chance of NHL action. His agent plays a part here, not wising up to how this was going to go down

- Usage in Utica; bottom six minutes with inferior linemates, rather than being given an opportunity to prove his worth. Not to mention, not being given games at all due to the veteran rule

- In an era with Megna and Chaput, he simply wasn't given a chance to show his worth

 

That's plenty right there.

That doesn't mean that he's guaranteed a roster spot though. A year offer is essentially a show me contract.

Possibly his play dictated this?

The whole WD era was a clusterfluck. It potentially made Tryamkin leave for the KHL. I agree that playing Chaput and Megna was dumbfounding.
