Well, Vrbata, Vanek, Miller was good UFA signing,I would add Nilsson as good as well. . Of course, Lui, Gagne was afwul. Burmistrov was a mistake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a pleasant change to see Calgary treat our anthem with some respect though. My buddy's daughter will be singing the anthems tonight. We'll see how it goes. Only the Canadian...and she sang the RIGHT lyrics. Edited March 9, 2020 by Lionized27 to edit 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishopshodan Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Fun times. We're in the fight for the playoffs. We are a better team than we were predicted to be this year. Coach Green has heard that he isn't polling well on Melmac and has started to show some emotion and growth. The veterans are starting to pull their knickers up and if the stars are aligned we will be healthy going into the post season. Yep, it's a beautiful day in BC. Go Nucks.

Pouted like a little boy after being taken off the Sedin line. Granted he had SOME legitimate beef (given that he did score 30+ goals with them the season before) and being replaced by Sutter (a center?). Vrbata worked well with Bonino when he wasn't with the Sedins but that option obviously wasn't available (as the later was essentially traded from Sutter). Regardless of justification; he should've acted like a professional and sucked it up. I think his father chimed in and said the same thing about he should be a professional about it.

They were down 0-2 to Columbus the other day and came back with 3 goals in the third to win. Columbus choked the way we did against them last time.

He was an absolute cancer and a terrible example for young players. Benning should have suspended him without pay after his trade deadline stunt. Vrbata had other suiters as a UFA, surely he was targeted by us to play with the twins and was told that prior to signing. He plays with them and does well. Then, the next year we try do to things differently. Any person with half a brain saw it wasn't working but also knew to raise his trade value all we had to do was put him back with the Twins to up his value then deal him for that thing we never became accustom to as a Canucks fan during the rebuild....an ASSET like a pick or prospect that could eventually turn into something for us say now? Sure he pouted, but like I said before he was promised to play with the Sedins and he produced when he was with them. Also, blame the GM for giving him the deal and the NTC protection that went along with it that allowed the "TDL STUNT" you are referring to. I know what your saying, but the player just used what was given to him by the team in his contract. My theory almost nobody should be gifted a NMC or Full NTC. It hampers every team every summer. But it is the GM's who continue to do this and its the Agents who demand this and play the other 30 NHL GM's against each other during negotiations. Its all flawed, go the NFL route, contracts with only certain guarantees. Player decides to pull a LoserSSon and he gets cut after 1 year, then can sign for league min with another team to try for a fresh start. Instead, the NHL allows these long term deals with guaranteed $ and NMC/NTC security. Remove that and lower the length of contracts to 5 years max. Then also make players have 10 pro years of service before they can become a UFA with no voiding a full year like this College loop hole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
