    Cap… Wait it out a year or pay a price to make space?

    I cant agree on what you said about Boeser, if you said that before his started to catch fire in the last 15 or so games, I'd have wholeheartedly agreed with you but he was scoring and he seemed to have his head sorted out better, confidence I mean. 

    Garland the same and pulled of a statement hat trick which was on highlight reels for everyone to see so that helped his cause a lot as well.. 

     Anyway we can agree to disagree on Boeser's situation but the point remains why throw away cap when that will only hurt us later when we aren't going on a cup run this year for sure, simply we don't have enough depth for that YET..

    That's why I'd trade for prospects or picks and keep building instead of stopping and us winding up with another broken core and start all over again however long down the road that is... It's gotta stop, this one and done b.s. has never worked and it never will, we're ok as long as we wait things out and not shoot ourselves in the foot! Again......

    Well hopefully you're right!  It's a lot better for the team if Brock has some value.  Personally I'm not expecting much in terms of him being moved.  Garland I'm a little more on the fence about I suppose but still skeptical.  

     

    Again, I agree with your overall point however.

    Myers buy out? It's not worth it, we're not doing anything big next season so why bother, OEL still has top pairing in him, that's up to T to help him bring that out again, I bet he thought he was back in Arizona last year, however at least he has that potential and if we can get him back to that, we're golden.

    Imo, this is season is a turning point, and the biggest thing is how Hogs n Podz make it. 

    BB and Garland are pretty much out of here and if JR pulls a gooder, then we'll be fine. 

    As in trading for prospects and picks, and then have plenty of cap space. We're certainly not in that bad of a position as the media would have you believe but their not that bright and want to keep signing forwards, only a few have clued in we need lots of D depth. 

    I find it funny as hell that the media finally get around to talking about stuff the CDC has been talking/debating for awhile now, and it happens a lot. Maybe they should troll the CDC for better write ups?! I've seen quite a few very well written articles here than what those F-tards can come up with...

    Anyway, past all that, one thing I'm happy about is the way Silovs showed lately, would be great to have a bonafide back-up in case last season repeats itself in the future and Silovs can come in and help win games.

    I don’t think anyone wants to give us picks/prospects for Boeser or Garland.  More likely that teams are asking for sweeteners in order to take on their contracts.  Boeser in particular.  I think we need to either hope he gets it together or else bite some kind of bullet to move him.

     

    Your point stands however.  Any move that exclusively helps for next season (but not beyond it) is a complete waste.

    Trevor Linden speaks on Canucks captaincy and life after hockey

    I’ll probably get flamed for this but I always thought of Linden as the most over rated player (based on all the fandom on this site).
     

    I won’t dispute his charitable work, but on the ice, he was not a great as folks remember him to be. 
     

    He just barely makes my top 10:

     

    1) Bure

    2) Hank

    3) Dank

    4) Lui

    5) Nassy

    6) Petey

    7) Hughes 

    8) Bert

    9) Kesler

    10) Linden

    “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.

    Ah Feuk... Whynot.  It's just like playing Roulette afterall, or just Huckins darts on a board.  Alternatively, we could just sign UFAs, it would just Costmar.  Anyways, that's McCue to head out.  Gotta grab some Grubbe and do some Landry.  Cya later Holmes.

    Looks like we’re “on the same page,” both literally and figuratively, when it comes to Ben Roger (see my post three above). ;) 

    Oh man this thread is on fire!  Some high quality dad jokes with extra cheese!
    Love it!

    [WCF] Vegas Golden Knights (P1) vs. Dallas Stars (C2) | Golden Knights win series 4-2

    Meh, they've had a lot of success in their short life, getting to the final, and now probably getting to the final again.   That's two thirds the amount of SCF appearance the Canucks have had in over 50 years.

     

    That should  be plenty of reason to gain a foothold there.  in fact it may make them even hungrier.

     

    Nope.  They definitely have to suffer at least one cycle where they get terrible and have to rebuild. Where they have to be sellers and start over.  Do it without Bettman's help next time.  Then I'll have more respect for them.

    I don't really disagree with this.  Only have 3 choices left though lol.  

     

    Dallas has always annoyed me and Florida feels like a waste of time.  Plus I'm just not about to cheer for Tkachuk. 

     

    With Vegas at least I can feel like I'm cheering for the growth of the game.  Lol

    (Rumour) Canucks Blackhawks at the draft

    The only way i'd be ok with trading the 11th overall, is if we are getting an established D, who's got upside in the 22-23 year old range.   And this D better have some actual size and play with it as well, that's maybe under utilized, but on our team would be a solid top four right away.   Otherwise keep the pick.    But not an OEL type deal!!! 

     

    Another way to do this, is trade Kuzmenko.   And keep our pick. 

    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.

    He was even better in San Jose.  And that Kristers Gudlevskis dude who stopped something like 55 out of 57 shots when Canada barely got past Latvia 2-1 at the 2014 Olympics.

    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?
