    I wonder about a UFA player like Carson Soucy. Have always thought highly of him when I've watched him play. He's 6'5 210. Would maybe cost us 3 million? Seattle fans help me out here? Is he a bottom pairing guy or could he play next to Hronek 

    The radio mentioned him as well.  I’m hoping they’re trying to be sneaky via trade rather than UFA

    What the hell???  This is a really short sighted move.  Feels about the same as when Benning traded for OEL/Garland in the first place.  Really about ready to just give up watching this team and this sport.  First the expansion VGK cup win, and now this...

    I don’t love it either but I guess it’s a “yolo” move lol.

    What the hey I say!  Go Canucks Go! Lol

    Given the premium on cap space in what should be the last flat cap off-season, I can see them trading with a team that needs to clear cap, like Boston. Forbort, anyone?

    Hope it's something like this.  

    It relieves any trade pressure for this year as well.  If any team wants our players then they'll probably have to pay.  We don't need to add a sweetener at this point.

    [Speculation] Milan Lucic and the Canucks. Should they consider him?

    Home town kid, 1 year term 2 max, will play for a mill or less, motivated to play for the home team in front of family. Literally worst case scenario is if he doesn't work out the entire salary can be buried in Abbotsford. Literally no downside. Astonishing there is so much panic over a nothingburger deal that can be buried in it's entirety... 

    Maybe (obviously not everyone agrees) but that wasn't my question. Does it have to be him or are there options?

    How many Calgary games did you watch last season? Are you boxscore watching? 

     

    I watched about 8 and at least 15 the year before. So I'm not sure where you're getting this over exaggerated view that Lucic can't play anymore. 

     

     

    Aside from our own team, I kinda just watch hockey games at random for the most part.  I probably watched most of the games that they were on HNIC and then a few other odd ones.  Not sure how many games that would be.  Something similar to your numbers I would imagine.  I certainly feel like I saw enough though and wasn’t impressed.  If anything I was happy that he played in Calgary lol

     

    To be honest I didn’t really think I had that hot of a take.  I thought this view of him had been out there for a while now.

    Dunno, I feel like the the standard has shifted as time has gone on, guys just don't put up the point totals you used to see. Game has changed.

    Yeah I suppose.  My instinct is still no.  Seems like there’s a fair number of players in his generation that have similar or better numbers.  But maybe they’re getting in too idk.

    This is the Canuck board, are you lost? Why would you expect me to be happy Vegas won? Legitimate question. 

    Well I mean I wouldn’t expect anyone here (myself included) to be pumped about any other team.  That doesn’t mean that you have to be upset about it either though.  There can be a middle ground.

     

    For me Vegas was the lesser of two evils.  I was able to find more silver lining in them winning.  So I’m cool with it considering the options.

    No it’s just weird you respond then play the why are you responding card. 
     

    I can respond yet still not care what you think my reasoning is. They aren’t mutually exclusive. As it is a discussion board. 

    Lol “weird” is the correct word to use.  I think anyone can read our conversation back.


    Sorry for insinuating that you were bitter in some way.  Obviously I was wrong. Lol

    Vegas is literally tourists and snowbirds, like Florida, Arizona, California…

    Amazing that the tourists fly to Vegas so often that they can fill their season tickets.  Must be quite expensive.  

    Contrary to popular belief Vegas is a city that has more to it than the strip.  Like people actually live there and stuff.  For whatever reason they seem to support their local team like every other decent sports city.  Crazy eh?
