  1. Ducks are worse. Roster-wise, we are way underperforming. The Ducks sucking is because their roster kinda sucks.
  2. Yeah, I’d generally like to get some assets back from a player in that situation, but the Sedins were such a rare case. Very few players, if any, are more ensconced in the city they play for in every aspect of their lives like the Sedins were.
  3. 100%. Bieksa night, speech of the year, and a home game against the worst team in the league. If the Canucks blow it tonight, there is something unfixable in that room.
  4. Ron MacLean will eventually(hopefully) retire at some point and Kevin is the obvious choice to take over HNIC. Would be hard to pass up that gig.
  5. Watching that makes me wanna work harder at MY job, I hope the players in that room feel it too.
  6. It'll be all up to Bieksa. If he wants to stay in broadcasting, he will continue to excel there. If he wants to coach, he'll get snapped up. When Bieksa speaks, people listen.
  7. Why the heck did management deem him to be too valuable to trade for RHD Marino when he has no spot or plan in our organization.
  8. Makes me wonder why he was reputed to be too valuable to trade for Marino. And if he can’t crack the lineup with Hughes and OEL already here til eternity, what is the point of him in this organization? Why the one-way deal? Why the reluctance to send him to Abby? I don’t understand the plan for him in the organization.
  9. Sadly we had the space for Marino before signing Mikheyev but rumours are we didn’t want to trade Rathbone.
  10. The market has drastically changed too. It's possibly harder to get good defensemen today than it's ever been. You're not getting an Ehrhoff for a bag of pucks today.
  11. That’s why it was so funny seeing Calgary fans freaking out over losing Gaudreau for free. You got half your team from us for free, so call it even.
  12. True, but then again the Miller extension doesn't align with the management's vision to "build around the young core". Unless that "young core" vision is new, in which case, they went into the last offseason with no plan or a failed plan and are already pivoting.
  13. Yeah, highlighting a GMs draft picks that made the NHL as a win is always a weird argument. It assumes another GM would've tripped over the draft stage and forgets to pick any players at all. Sure, someone else may have done worse, but they may have done better too, and that's never mentioned in the argument.
  14. Yeah, I don't think he's untradeable with the extension, but we're going to have to find a contender that needs him this year and also has the desire to build around him for the next 7 years. The pool of teams that could take that on would be a pretty exclusive club.
  15. I can see that argument for Boeser, I'll give you that, but they flinched too early on the Miller re-signing. He would've been monumentally easier to move in-season without the extension.
  16. Re-sign Boeser and Miller in the summer and less than a year later dump them for whatever they can get for them. What a fantastic start to this management group.
  17. A big part of that could be because Bo has never had any decent linemates. Who have his consistent winger been throughout his career? Pearson? He's rarely had regular top-6 calibre wingers. He looks good when he's playing with good players on the PP, imagine if he had some decent wingers 5-on-5 throughout his career here.
  18. You said you'd go with the exact same lineup from the Pittsburgh game. If the doctor and player is telling you he's ready to go, I find it hard to believe anybody would decide to sit Quinn. And if you play him, other lineup changes had to be made to account for him. I don't know what makeup of our roster would've performed miles better than we did last night. We don't have a great team.
  19. True, but so far all his moves seem to be an extension of everything JB was doing. I don’t have a lot of confidence in the new group at the moment.
  20. But the thing is they tried to do a number of things in the off-season and failed. And it’s even tougher to make moves in-season. Maybe his rolodex no longer has the contacts it used to.
