Talk about a bunch of overboard drama. Keeping Loui one more year would not be the end of the world.

The drift I am getting is that Loui was very much unhappy with his benching at the end of the season.

Wrongmove

Not to mention Hughes.

We also added Pearson and Schenn at the end of the year. Should Sutter and Bear stay mostly healthy we should have no trouble making the playoffs.

Jim has ticked off one of his items on his summer honey do list. He has acquired a top 6 forward. Not just any forward but a very solid physical versatile type who is also a play maker. JT also comes with cost certainty. Yes he may have payed a little too much but JT is exactly the type of top 6 player we needed and I think we will be very happy having him on the team for years to come. The naysayers need to remember that a player in hand is worth 2 picks.

I have seen very few O lines that can stand up to constant blitz pressure. How do you relieve the pressure? Lets see ... you run the fracking ball at least 15 times a game. How about a few screens.....or considering Rielly was the main point of the defensive attack why not a few pitch outs to throw off the attack.

No. We got a player with a future and an awesome cap hit. Not an over priced has been. (sorry Pat but there is some truth to it). One needs to look at the whole picture when evaluating these things.

No....just more of the same old crap. Lions abandoned their running game when Harris left.

You can run and have fun or you can pass. Hint: Mike it is not all about you. Shave the Edmonton beard.

With the draft just an hour away and speculation coming to an end I thought I would start a place to discuss the picks and Trades by the Canucks.

Sane advice... not.

To plagiarize “the times are a changing “.

For every player that is added there will be a player leaving. You are talking of adding 2 players. So it stands to reason there will be 2 leaving. Witch means there will be more than 2 mil left.

Do the math and subtract the outgoing contracts

Jim has completed step one. Elder is signed to a reasonable contract without having to protect at the ED.

No worries mates. Jimmy has got this.

Great year PeteySD.

Grasshopper....Grasshopper....a brother in hand is worth two in the draft.

Benning just beating the bushes to see what he can scare up. As he said "we have talked to every team in the league"

I take it math is not taught under the bridge.

Myers probably staying in Winterpeg with Trouba gone.

So much for wanting to stay a Canuck. Didn't realize there was a price attached.

Exactly. No run = no win.

Let’s hope there is one in the pipeline. Looking forward to the home opener. Go Lions
