  1. I have been critical of Horvat in the past during his LONG tenure with us through it all I wonder if the culture change after the Sedins left has jaded him a little. On one hand he has been one of the most loyal Canucks ever, but on the other hand I dont see the passion anymore. I think we would be doing him a favor by trading him. Its one of those things I think he doesnt know he needs because in that last interview I think I could actually see him start to think about spring/summer in Ontario around April 30th.
  2. When you consider how JR views our defence you get to thinking how much the fanbase have under-valued guys like Myers and Schenn
  3. I think its time to have a look at guys like Sheldon Rempel and Nick Petan. Rempel has been outstanding as of late. I think 

    them coming up would do wonders for our compete level.

      I wouldn't mind the Canucks giving these guys callups but some guys are able to dominate the AHL but never in a way that translates in the NHL.  I think the odds are very low for any expectation that they will be difference makers in the NHL at this point.  Happy to be wrong, of course.

       

      Petan has generally had a success in the AHL and he has had multiple chances to break into the NHL but just hasn't been able to contribute to anywhere near the same degree in the NHL.

       

      This is a breakout year for Rempal and while he has had fewer chances to break into the NHL, his age and size are going to be limitations on the chances he will receive.

      Petan has had multiple chances in the NHL and was as useless as Megna and Ebbett. I don't want him playing a single shift for us under any circumstances; he is even worse than Chiasson.

      I agree with Bell and King Heffy that Petan is not an NHL player. He's a great AHL player and is probably going to end up in Europe in the next season or two to make some cash and he'll thrive over there.

       

      That said, Rempal has never had much of a chance in the NHL and I think he's deserved a chance to play some NHL games. I feel like he's probably an upgrade on Justin Dowling, at this point. I can see Rempal being called up in the event the Canucks trade a current roster player for picks/prospects. He's due for a chance.

  4. You assume everyone's production stagnates, that may not be the case. Especially with EP and our defence chipping in a bit more and Garland picks up again we could start coming alive.
  5. The structure imparted by our new coaches really showed its flare here. Every single line contributed to our team defense today that was an amazing away game.
  6. The only way you would agree with me is if the point totals for Miller and Petey where year to year close or more that Mc David. I guess there are just two trains of thought when it comes to evaluating players.
  7. Pete maybe wont score like Mc David true but you only judge by one single attribute, the ability to put up points are not the only thing you build a team with. The other qualities that Miller and Petersson posses I find lacking in Mc David. Miller is more like Yzerman then Mc David and Petersson IMO is more like Datsyuk, in my ..... and I cannot stress this enough so calm your tits.... opinion.
  8. Actually it was the media that was making the argument that Pettersson was in the same league as Mc David. I believe it was elliot Friedman that said "If someone where to argue that Pettersson is as good as Mc David and Matthews, id be willing to listen." Im arguing that they are on the same tier as those guys, but I digress because its subjective, its not JUST about the numbers which is CLEARLY the basis for your counter argument. The reason its so hard for you to swallow is because your not seeing the numbers right now, so try to open up your mind a bit and stop hearing " PETTERSSON AND MILLER ARE THE EXACT SAME AS MC DAVID AND MATTHEWS" When what im saying is they are in that same elite tier just lower down the pecking. I mean FFS look at the team when you consider what those two guys COULD be with the right linemates I think its not unreasonable to think they are in the same tier as those guys. Not at all. And thats my subjective opinion, if you disagree go down to the beach and pound sand.
  9. Enlighten me as to how you replace Millers qualities? Hes the second coming of Yzerman and OF COURSE people want to see him traded. If we had Nathan Mackinnon himself there would be fans that would want him traded. THERES CERTIAN PLAYERS YOU NEVER EVER TRADE PEOPLE!! Them requesting a trade notwithstanding, you dont build a f ycking hockey team and trade players like f ycking Miller. Would you trade Crosby? Or Stamkos in his prime? Yes you COULD but those teams that kept those players WON A CUP IMAGINE THAT!!! And yes Miller IS in the same league as those guys with all he brings to a team he IS in the same calibre as those guys. IF we can make an argument that Pettersson is in the same caliber as Connor David and Matthews then we DEFINATELTY can make the case that Miller is that elite as well. Do you know what good teams do with elite players? They sign them not trade them away for 2-3 lesser players.
  10. Funny but I think we should stop using the word Miller and trade in the same sentence.
  11. Yeah lets hurry up and trade him.... literally no smart fan ever. If Allvin trades him im so done with this team. IF he gets traded because he didnt want to be here then fine. But any other reason Im done.
  12. He will be required to surrender himself immediately, probably first to the CBSA then to the VanPD or RCMP. He would be arrested at the 1st point of entry to Canada from wherever he is. OR he is arrested by the CBSA at the airport where he departs.
  13. Exactly. And that should be a lesson to everyone about the law. If a man or woman goes to the police and makes the claim that another man or woman assaulted them in anyway the police then have reasonable cause to make an arrest when you are arrested you have to be charged with something. So yes JV is charged because the police have reasonable cause to do so. He will now have to go through arraignment where a JoP will decide his immediate future then the crown will decide how to proceed in terms of the charges. Sexual assault is an indictable offence so police can arrest based off of a victims statement alone because of the seriousness of the offence.
  14. I hate the DJ everytime he plays that fing white stripes song. Hes just the worst.
