Trevor Linden speaks on Canucks captaincy and life after hockey
Baratheon replied to Canuck You's topic in Canucks Talk
“On the ice” Linden outproduced everyone on your list come playoff time. Higher totals than any of them. Although Bure Petey and Hughes have higher PPG (in the playoffs), Linden is on par with both Petey and Hughes if you look at the same ages. Linden didn’t get his points in the bubble though. Playoffs are where it matters most and Trev was every bit as good as people remember him. -

(Rumour) Canucks Blackhawks at the draft
Baratheon replied to Baratheon's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Now now! You know better than that. This is CDC! We don’t trade anyone with value no matter what! We just assume that other teams want to give us assets in order to take on contracts that we don’t like. -
(Rumour) Canucks Blackhawks at the draft

Pretty big difference between the two. Beauvillier is an expiring contract. Garland has 2 more years after next season. A deal that helps us for 1 year is a waste imo. -
2023 IIHF World Hockey Championship
Baratheon replied to kilgore's topic in General Hockey Discussion
Good call! I had forgotten about that game. As for Irbe in SJ I was not aware of much aside from that he had earned a bit of hype. Mostly things that I read in the local newspaper (Province and Vancouver Sun I think) back when he came to Van. He was pretty good in Carolina though! Was he really better in SJ? -

Arturs Irbe baby! He was pretty darned good in Carolina for a time. -
(Rumour) Canucks Blackhawks at the draft
Baratheon replied to Baratheon's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Yeah.. Myers and Beauvillier don't make a ton of sense to me (unless it is to acquire assets) to move. Their contracts are up after a year and then the cap is dealt with. (which also might be a reason why they have value closer to the TDL) We don't need to accomplish everything next year. We simply need to improve on last year. No need for short term 1 year solutions unless it also benefits the future, as far as I'm concerned. -
(Rumour) Canucks Blackhawks at the draft
Baratheon replied to Baratheon's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I agree strongly with all of this. (Well aside from Silovs pushing out Demko since I am not bold enough for that kind of prediction) The thing about goaltending is that it's REALLY weird and teams are hesitant to commit to them due to the weirdness. Bobrovsky for example. He was seen as a HORRIBLE contract and then all of a sudden... Where the hell did that come from?? On the opposite side you have Jake Oettinger who seemed like the greatest thing since sliced bread. (an underrated expression. seriously! pre-sliced bread is the bomb and nobody thinks about it!) All of a sudden what happened to him? I just don't see any team investing in Demko regardless of how good he is. (I also just couldn't bring myself to type "irregardless" no matter how much I wanted to keep up the CDC tradition) -
Just heard this mentioned on the radio. Sounds like a Chicago insider thinks they’re taking a look at our pick. I found this https://www.hockeyfeed.com/nhl-news/blackhawks-and-canucks-linked-in-monster-draft-day-trade Possible way to move cap and pick up a 2nd along the way? Edit: This appears to be the source. The Blackhawks aren’t optimistic about their chances to move up from their second first-round pick at No. 19. Even if the Blackhawks package the No. 19 pick and a second-rounder or two, that probably isn’t enough for a team to budge from a top-15 selection. The Vancouver Canucks might be the only team that could make sense. It’s no secret the Canucks are trying to get out of a few contracts this offseason. If the Blackhawks took on one of those contracts and packaged a first- and second-round pick, maybe that would entice the Canucks to trade the No. 11 pick. There should be some really good players left on the board at 11 if the Blackhawks could do that. - Scott Powers

Yep I agree. But anybody can be overpaid. I'm leaning towards your way of thinking but still consider this to be a work in progress until we see what the contract looks like. Once upon a time folks were excited about Jason Garrison or Nate Schmidt. Not saying that's the situation we have here. Simply explaining why I'm not about to jump to conclusions just yet.

Have we extended him yet? No? Then I have no idea if I'm happy or not! The trade was a great first step but I still grade it an "I" for incomplete. My guess is that I'll end up liking the trade but we really do need to see that contract first.

Yeah I guess they probably would. Good call!
