    I wanted to ask how did Mike Gillis circumnavigate the cap? What is wrong with back diving contracts?

      The penalty just stunk because the league ALREADY APPROVED the contract when it was first submitted to them.  They only retro-actively decided to punish the Canucks AFTER THE FACT.  

       

      One can accept that life often isn't always fair....but what REALLY stinks is a number of teams have had their possible penalty lessened (eg., Weber).  But the Canucks as usual get the shaft.

      @Where's Wellwood What I don't understand is why are we getting punished for that. It was WITHIN THE RULES of that CBA. Yes, the CBA has changed, but it was signed before the new CBA. I think Gillis did a genius move that was within the rules

      I don't call it a genius move when it only saved what $1.2 million per year give or take?  Carey Price was making $6.5 million as of 2012-13 and for 6 years. Gillis pushed the envelope. And the team has made to suffer for it. Had Gillis given Luongo a similar contract. He would have found it way easier to trade him, and probably gotten better return. 

       

      Yes it sucks the league retroactively punished Vancouver. It's probably costing Gillis on getting another GM gig again.

    I wonder if we can even get a 3rd rounder for demko cuz teams know its the 3rd rounder OR lose to seattle in expansion
  5. JustABandwagoner
    I would trade Pearson for future consideration just to get rid of his 3.7M. Hes a decent player but we need the cap and he doesnt have negative value.
  6. JustABandwagoner
    We traded Petey's best friend Dahlen

       no tanking we probably beat wild in play in round  kool and see wat happens in playoffs if not  we get a 1/8 chance to draft the french kid   its a win win situation

      @luckylager "Get out there and play to lose" said no coach ever.  The on-ice product during Willie D's time  sure felt like he said that to the players when he was here :lol:

      PR purposes or not, I don't see why he would say he wants to lose.  Even recreational athletes wanna give it their all and win.

    This is very stupid indeed but I saw a video where OTT will trade their 5th overall for a 1st line player. Would anyone here do JT Miller for 5th overall. I know this will NEVER happen but just outta curiosity.

      That's good value, but like AJ said it'd be stepping back towards rebuild territory. Sooner or later this team needs to compete, and this season was a strong step towards that. I want them to trend up, not draft shiny prospects high forever.

      Good call, DM. May 31st I saw Ottawa selling this pick to TBay(humongous deal)..had to bump it.

      No to Miller.  He's too valuable as a jack-of-all-trades guy with high end skill.  Agreed with W.W., Pete still needs his help with face-offs.  I'm in the camp for either Toffoli (great fit with the other two but costs an extra pick if retained) or Boeser (younger and with upside but if we go with Toffoli and Virtanen he's definitely a cost-controlled asset which can yield a good return).  If possible I'd like to see if we could toss in a sweetener and also get Jacob Bernard-Docker (late first round pick, also RHD), really liking what I'm seeing out of him during his season with ND.  That way we can address two of our "weaker" prospect areas, in LW and RD.

  12. JustABandwagoner
    Bruh in the poll i will ASSUME it says guaranteed 1st overall pick then its a no brainer.
  13. JustABandwagoner
    We are also not winning the cup
  14. JustABandwagoner
    You know I've always wondered. Yes, the league shows a video of drawing the balls, but they NEVER show the video of Scott Clarke matching the numbers. Perhaps Bettman tells Scott Clarke which team to announce and he just acts as if hes looking for the numbers.

    What are the odds of going on a deep playoff run? Is it greater than or less than 12.5%,

    Fine. To make you so called fking HAPPY we have a 1/24 odds of winning the Stanley cup. I would rather take the 1/12 with Laf. Additionally if you look at odds, im sure the vegas betting system has us winning the cup <5%. EDIT: If you are going to be that ANNOYING Qualifying round: 1/2 because its us vs MIN 1st rd: 1/2 because its us vs another team 2nd rd: 1/2 us vs another team 3rd rd: 1/2 us vs another team 4th rd: 1/2 us vs another team 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 0.03125 x 100 = 3.125% odds assuming there is equal chance of winning each round. Obviously theres more math to this cuz how can there be equal odds when one team is better than the other and there is also luck where injuries may occur, bad day, etc.
  20. JustABandwagoner
    NO
  21. JustABandwagoner
    You do realize that we have a 0% chance of winning the cup.
  22. JustABandwagoner
    You do you buddy. Im gonna be rooting against my team for the chance of Laf and having a DYNASTY
  23. JustABandwagoner
    12.5% is the one of the HIGHEST odds we've ever had. I will take it
  24. JustABandwagoner
    I live for that once we are a good enough team to win the cup. I feel we are missing pieces. Winning Laf would be amazing and we can trade Boeser for a D man
  25. JustABandwagoner
    Playing the Wild is meaningful hockey. Good enuf for me. #1 pick here we go
