  1. The seniors of HK have listened ! Cool story; https://globalnews.ca/news/5503439/hong-kong-elders-march-protesters-extradition-bill/ Nearly 2,000 Hong Kong seniors march in support of young protesters
  2. So easy for some to criticize JV but when you take a step back and remember when you were 22 years old... it's not his fault that he was slightly rushed into the NHL and needs a bit more time to reach his potential. I'm still a big fan of his hits and takeaways regardless of his scoring totals. I think we will be shot gunning more often next season
  3. Will do a 4-year deal, or wants a 4-year deal ? Maybe they will do a 7 year deal as well if the price is right
  4. He didn't say anything about term at all. This is why I loath the endless speculation for contract signings.. my optimistic guess is a 6x6 or 7x7 deal
  5. I would prefer to go off direct quotes from the player and his proven character qualities. his agent will of course add to rumors to increase leverage. he has gelled with his teammates like friends, and there is no doubt in my mind he wants to stay with this core for the foreseeable future. hopefully he doesn't push for too high a cap hit so we can be ultra competitive
  6. He could make those moves, but I would rather he wait and get full value for our assets if possible. its still very early in the summer, I like having a stiff competition at training camp.
  7. While I haven't watched too many highlights of both, the assessment of Pod seems to be that of tenacity and 2-way player with skill. I am not sure the same was said of Nichushkin.. who is being bought out. I hope Podkolzin is seeking glory
  8. Love players that want to be here, definitely helps their cause with the fans when they speak up about it. (Unlike erikson that unappreciative sonofa..)
  9. 7x7 seems like a fair deal that will carry him into UFA. It will also make him our highest paid player though, I think. he will only get better as he is surrounded by more talented playmakers.
  10. Was the HK LegCo takeover by ‘protestors’ a false flag attempt to sew discourse amongst the general public and create negative publicity for the (majority) pro-dem side? I wouldnt put it past the pro-Beijing groups to do such a thing.. backed by the scummy communist party anything is possible, so villainous its like a movie. I am much more interested in this current event then debating whether the use of nukes in ww2 was justified - go make a history discussion thread
  11. We have hit some 1st round home runs for sure and hopefully that continues. I also think that if we drafted 10-20th and it turned out to be JT it would be a triple base hit, solid round at bat. Not every hit will be a home run. Its pure speculation at this point but clearly if the pick given up ends up being a top 10 it will be disappointing. No risk no reward as the saying goes. I view the glass as half full and we got a great player that will assist in the next phase of our new core evolving into a contender. As for Myers and/or Benn they are proven commodities that happen to be BC boys. Its about damn time we took (slight) advantage of players wanting to come home. Of course we still need to pay around market value to land quality. Hopefully the trend continues because there are a TON of BC boys out there that would look good in our lineup. There are plenty of moves that can be made to free up cap space for leverage so sit back and enjoy the show my dude who knows wha JB has up his sleeve.
  12. My feelings to a T - especially once I did some looking into the type of player JT is and bringing in some proven home town talent is always a bonus
  13. It must be so tiresome to spout negativity all the time, optimism is better for your mental and physical health
  14. I believe but curious if this is an exact quote and where to find ?
  15. The end result of his actions is looking good though eh’ Still certainly need to see an improvement in the standings which will ideally be coming soon,, to be determined but I have looking forward to the show
  16. weren't the majority of our core players drafted by the Nucks? And dont we have an average player age of 26 years old with the core being younger than that.. ? Im personally stoked where the team is sitting right now with a bright future
  17. I feel like Pod will bring a similar nastiness when prompted by a cheapshot/dirty play on a teammate. We need more of that.. ala Dorsett with immense skill Hoping that Jake will learn a thing or two from JT as well... put all that MMA watching and aggression to good use
  18. He can bring Tryamkin with him
  19. Took the words out of my mouth lol we can still draft that kid next year. If we suck in 2021 then things will look bleak
  20. Most people knew this except the Dem establishment lol they went and done goofed themselves
  21. now that is a hefty price tag... what about all the people who worked their butts off to pay their way through college with minimal debt ? https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-48747987
  22. His most candid moment was saying he kind of lost his voice because when he found out he got traded he was at a bachelor party in Vegas lol He also acknowledged he played on a team with elite players and gave that as a reason for his mild drop in production (less ice time, different role). he seems poised and looking forward to having a chance at a bigger role
  23. Booth was a good guy, just unfortunate with injuries it seems. I agree I have much higher expectations of J.T. (I just had to check and it stands for Jonathan Tanner if anyone is wondering)
  24. Not to mention Boeser Complete steal !
