Trading Elite Players in their Prime -- Are we expecting too much?
Warhippy replied to HKSR's topic in Canucks Talk
He is also our biggest asset and more likely than not walking at the end of next season barring a massive increase in salary. Like it or not, he's essentially going to be unaffordable for this team on the downslope of his career barring an idiotic overpayment or him miraculously taking a very team friendly deal. We as a fan base whined like mad watching all of our assets leave for essentially nothing over the past few seasons, watching the best possible trade asset in this years trade list walk for nothing or lose value via waiting would be one of the worst possible "asset management" moves we could fathom -
You'll excuse the spam, I am posting this in a few threads because I feel people need to seriously see our odds on even sniffing the playoffs. Ahead of us in our division alone are San Jose Edmonton Calgary Anaheim Los Angeles Vegas That's JUST our division with us having played more games than all but Vegas and Anaheim. If we look at the wild card, we have San Jose Edmonton Dallas Calgary St Louis All ahead of us all with a minimum of 2+ games at hand, and Winnipeg 3 points behind us with 5 games at hand. We would literally need to hope a minimum of 5 entire teams with games at hand do worse than us by +/- 7 games while we go a minimum of something like 15-4-5 to end the season JUST to hit the 94 point mark. While stranger things have happened, asking us to somehow play a near .700 over our remaining games while all the teams ahead of us with 2+ games at hand and already large point cushions (barring San Jose, Dallas and Edmonton) play sub .400 is an impossibility. While we are enjoying the run. While it is exciting to watch and while we see what is possible. it is just literally impossible to see this team achieve anything more than a 12th place pick in the draft lottery for their efforts. This isn't hate, this is a mathematical statement of fact. The Canucks can not and will not make the playoffs barring an unbelievable run of luck the likes of which beggars what the Blues did to win their cup. So while the hope of hanging on to core players is nice; the fact is even if we do we're not making the playoffs this year and could watch some of them leave next year regardless

[Rumour] J.T. Miller Trade/Contract Talks

Mike Cammaleri. That's who I've been thinking of. Boeser reminds me of Mike Camo-Larry
-
Boeser is the EXACT type of player you sell high on.
-
Ya? Well my mom said the moment you're overrun you're understaffed
-
Hardly an all star. Eberle also, not exactly an all star. Look at their scoring, career paths at this current stage/age. They're very very similar. Same skating style, same kind of winger. Boeser just pots more goals.
-
Boeser is a scoring version of eberle. Nothing more. Good complimentary piece. But not the end all be all

PET was probably the last true man of the people PM we had. Chretien possibly the last good one. Both travelled and lived extensively. Everyone in between was essentially an "educated person" with a worthless degree and no life experience. Lawyers, bankers and poli sci educated types do not belong in a position of power for promising to fix the system they literally need to exist
-
And this I understand. it's dangerous and should be considered a form of sedition. Intentionally enflaming the masses via misinformation to better your political standing has caused such a ridiculous divide. it started back in 2004 with the gingrich style attack ads committed by the cons about Martin and the libs, then the attacks about his replacements country of origin and more. it;'s only gotten worse with the advent of social media because you can reach a wider far more ignorant and easily lead audience.
-
And again, you read none of that. You googled and screen shot something and are suggesting something other than the bare truth. This is called pushing a narrative.
-
Just so we're clear. When "MSM" all report the same stuff, show the same videos. Have the same stories. It isn't because they're pushing a narrative. it's because THOSE are the facts as they exist. Keanne Bexte did not and does not magically find some nefarious scheme to push a narrative. he IS pushing a narrative by suggesting something other than what's been reported has happened The talking heads, the Keannes, the Carlsons, Hannity's. The opinion columnists who literally only exist to screech at the tv and rant for an hour are the people pushing narratives. To claim "you literally can not trust CBC" is to simply pretend that somehow someway they are not reporting the truth, but you can produce an oilers chance at the playoffs in terms of evidence to support that. Which is why you claim they took $600 million and are a liberal mouthpiece. Because you can not fathom a world in which the truth is as simple and open as it comes. You NEED to believe something else because it doesn't jive with your emotional leanings. Nothing more.
-
cbc never took $600 million...you still parrot that but have no idea what it means or where the totality of the $600 million fund went. There is or was a promise to increase funding for the CBC AND various Canadian media outlets including arts and original programming. but somehow you expect to be believed speaking about health matters
-
We shouldnt have reps who don't even know how their own nation works. Federal MPs screaming at Trudeau to end provincial mandates is the height of idiocy and highlights how poor our system is
-
A masters in political science is about as useful as a pinecone when you need toilet paper. Someone who is a lawyer, or banker or economist or poli sci major should NEVER run a country because they have no clue what the actual issues are and were trained in the broken system they need and depend on for their careers that needs fixing.
-
I'd just like to point out. My mom said I could be anything I wanted to be. My grandma said I was her handsome man. Tequila said I could dance with that hit girl and beat up her old man. I ended up an ex tradesman turned photographer with a pot belly and receding hairline and that hot girls old man, who was in fact tall and beautiful put a size 12 to my cheek. Sometimes...my mom said a lot of things that just didn't turn out the way she promised
-
I can't help but cringe knowing what our options are. Poiliverre will be the next Con leader and he's worthless, like literally worthless. Trudeau probably won't step down and that ensures our options are Trudeau again, or should he lose the most unappealing social conservative leader in Canadian history with less actual life and work experience than any sitting PM before him that is beholden to the pro life christian supporters. Like seriously...how are these the best we can come up with?
-
So that would ensure Poiliverre and Scheer neverr had the chance to run

[Report] Tuukka Rask announces retirement
Warhippy replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in General Hockey Discussion
Guy had a helluva career and it all started once he left Toronto. -
Oh gods do we ever need reform here. No I loathe FPTP and what we currently have is trash. I advocated for two options during the electoral form promise that never happened. In BC and federally. What we have is archaic and needs immediate updating. The issue is, because they see it; they attempt to somehow use it as a means to an ends in their arguments. It once again erodes the understanding of how our system of government works. The "they" in this instance, are the people who also think we have first amendment rights and constantly mistake our system for an American one

If the shoe fits, lace it up
-
Popular vote is not indicative of seats won in Canada over America. It's only a metric.
-
That's.... actually incredibly erroneous of a statement. The health care system was dangerously understaffed to begin with and had been for almost 2 decades. But to suggest a few thousand people out of hundreds of thousands would be the tipping point as opposed to waves of sick individuals completely ignores what HCWs have endured for decades and makes it a talking point as opposed to a genuine issue needing to be addressed
-
We don't....have popular vote in Canada. That's an American thing
