  1. Its over. Not even going to watch the race. Congrats Mercedes engine. You are the champion of 2021
  2. The rudeness, snark and hyperbole could be weeded out a bit. Anyone who's saying that Benning is the worst GM in the league and in Mike Millbury territory should get a slap. But all in all, its probably fine. We are in a rut. Tensions are high
  3. Pretty rough crowd for a Aquilini owned forum Aquaman owns this forum.
  4. Most of the players that we have on this team recently look like analytics signings. The Poolmans, Pearsons and Dickensons all passed the analytics tests. That's what we have here. Someone sold Benning on analytics instead of just finding known quantities like the Sutters and Prusts.
  5. Those are some long lost names Ebbet is one of the most hated Canucks I'd say. For good reason. We had a fighter in those years too. Not Rypin. After him. Can't remember his name though edit Volpatti
  6. Nah. Both were cheering for Boston in 2011. I seen lots of Boston jerseys in Edmonton in 2011.
  7. Toronto Edmonton and Calgary all cheered for Boston in 2011 so F them all. I hope they all lose. Maybe Ottawa and the Habs are the only Canadian teams worth supporting I'm not sure about anywhere else but here in Abbotsford , we got behind Flames in 04 and Oilers in 06. The bars were loaded and everyone was behind them. Just because we wanted a Canadian team to win. Never again
  8. Mellanby has been around a lot of management teams. I'm not against him. Which GM hasn't been an X player though ? Same goes for coaches. They are all x players. Ideally I'd like to go with a non x player for GM. Players making big paychecks their whole life at a young age , probably aren't ideal asset managers. Latest rumor is that Daniel Brieir is in the running for GM of the Habs. That's dumb.
  9. How would you know? He has a ring. He's not cup chasing. He is just bored with retirement. Hed come here for leadership and would probably take it as a challenge to get us back on track
  10. We gotta trade for this player. But what ? Chassion and a 2nd or a conditional 1st ? Poolman Pearson and a 2nd ?
  11. I dont think Gillis wanted to be a GM again. Like the high brow snob that he is, he went into academics.
  12. This team would be better and harder to play against with Jake Virtanen on it. This team would be better and harder to play against with Evander Kane on it. Don't we want to win ?
  13. Was Poolman not another analytics signing ? The Dickenson of the defense. Poolman, Dickenson and Pearson are all suffering from the same problem it seems. Fire the goddamn coach ! We have to find out if that is part of the problem and that is the only way.
  14. So who are the analytics gurus on here ? This was an analytics signing. So blame them. He would have never been signed using the eye ball test. He is young and will probably improve a bit. So you don't have to get too excited about 2 years. Plus he can be traded in the 1st 2 years. J-Dick must be a part of the problem PK wise.
  15. There's something about the last 2 coaches that just has me in the mood for an NHL experienced coach this time. But for the GM job , i think Nonis, Gillis and Benning did alright.
  16. We had Tanev under contract when LE was here. I think JB thought some combination of Myers and Hamonic would have been better than Tanev and Edler. Yes, he was wrong. I just meant that as far as cap space goes, if you are spending it in free agency, there is hardly ever value out there. The shortage of good players is a bigger issue for GM's than shortage of cap space. This is why players simply get overpaid in free agency.
  17. It shows what a crapshoot the game of GM'ing is. Chiatelli has shown high level incompetence despite having a cup. Rutherford has enough hype that someone might just sign him so he can shred his own legacy just like Chiarelli did. I just hope that team isn't ours. Incompetent people climb to high places all the time.
  18. In the last 5 years of free agency , what free agent could have we spent that cap space on ? Im just asking.
  19. Yeah I just have a bad feeling about the next 2 races.
  20. No it wasn't. Erricson scored 30 goals the year before we signed him. And scored in that range through his career. 6 million for a 30 goal scorer, even an older one, is a very standard free agency number. If it was 8 years then yes. But it wasn't 8 years.
  21. I agree. He matched Keslers offer sheet too. Pretty sure he signed Burrows under market value too
  22. Really. Both Gillis and Benning don't deserve to be in the worst GM category. And Neither did Nonis. They have all been a step above the worst which we should be happy about. Nonis did blow way too much assets out the door for that one cup run attempt. Shane Brown, Marty Ruccinsky , Jeff Sanderson , Keith Carney and Mikka Norenen. All rentals. That was nutty but still not terrible.
