  1. Yeah I totally understand what you’re saying. When management extended Miller, they were basically announcing that this was their version of going all-in. I’ll continue to support the team because, hey, I’ve been here before JR was here and I’ll still be here after he’s gone. But I totally get the fan frustration too.
  2. Therein lies the worry with the team too. As bad as things look now, we have too much talent to be that bad for the whole season. But at their best, we’re not likely a Cup contender either. So the worry is that we’re forever going to be a middling team who neither acquires high draft picks and instead strives to squeak into the playoffs as our best case scenario.
  3. I wouldn't say he gets a pass, his play has been subpar too. But it's more an indictment on the team that he has to be at MVP-calibre for the team to have a chance at winning.
  4. "I don't think I've given up much of anything there."? I think he meant "I don't think I've given up much of anything there."
  5. Marino and Mikheyev have a very similar cap hit. I think when the Marino deal fell through, they allocated the money to signing Mikheyev instead.
  6. I'm not even sure if cap space was the issue. From the reports out there, apparently the team didn't want to part with Rathbone in that deal, the guy who's not even allowed to touch NHL ice right now. So the Marino money went to signing Mikheyev instead. Rathbone+ for Marino isn't looking too bad right now.
  7. I think JR/Allvin need a presser soon to explain the vision for the team to the fans. Last I heard, they were trying to shed cap, acquire draft picks, and improve the D. So far, they'd done the opposite of that. Tell us what the vision is.
  8. If he takes his QO and negotiations don't look good, you gotta trade him at 50% retained for the best package you can get.
  9. Agree. Joshua has been so underwhelming this season so far. Why do big boys always forget that they're big as soon as they get to Vancouver?
  10. The interesting thing about Rathbone is that there were rumours he could be packaged up to bring in John Marino (source) who, by all accounts, is having a very strong start to this season as a RHD. But the team thought trading Rathbone was too high a risk. So it's just one more question in the overall puzzling nature of this management's vision.
  11. I'm not sure if Allvin would want to admit his first big move was a big mistake a little more than a month after the signing.
  12. This whole Rathbone situation has me perplexed. The team doesn't seem to want to dress him and Hughes together. So then what's the point of having him up in the NHL? Well, having him up as emergency on the road trip in case Hughes gets hurt makes sense. Then they send him down to Abby after the road trip? Then what was the point of signing him to a one-way deal? Showcase him for a trade? But they're not showcasing him. I don't understand.
  13. Now it's "Unfinished Busin... wait a minute they already changed that to "Our Pursuit". They couldn't even keep consistency with their slogan.
