  1. Shinkaruk has a much higher potential of busting than Reinhart. Someone said the contrary in this thread while i was browsing on my phone. If you think Reinhart has just as much of a chance at busting, then you have NEVER watched Reinhart play. That's just a ridiculous statement. There's a reason Shinkaruk went 24th and Reinhart will go 1st/2nd.... And no, sorry folks, even if this draft is "worse," there is not a 23 pick difference.
  2. People are underestimating the amount of cap we really have.. With Kesler traded for picks/prospects, we should have around 20 mill. TWENTY. Our core is also already locked up, so no worries there. Unless Patty Kane is for sure going to hit Free Agency, no point in keeping all that cap space.
  3. This team never needed a FULL ON re-build, they just needed to get a youth injection. We don't need to blow anything up, we have a solid core that probably has a good year or two left. We need more of a re-tooling, imo. If we can somehow get the likes of Reinhart without losing Shinkaruk, the future already looks bright without having to do anything. These are also Free Agent signings, we lose absoloutely nothing other than $$$, which isn't even something we should care about other than cap space, which is also something we don't need to worry about since our core is already locked up.
  4. Well, if we're going for a Cup run in the next 1-2 years, this is the right move.
  5. Sooo... Can the NFL start up already?

      LOL was playin madden all night with a buddy. i had a feeling it was gonna be brutal

  6. Torts should be fired after this game. I know it's not his fault, but something needs to be changed. SOMETHING. Jk, Gillis will just re-call our savior Lain.
  7. Frozen: 10/10 Perfect. Would put it up there with the likes of the Lion King etc. Tangled: 9/10 I don't know why it's not perfect, but i wouldn't say it was as good as Frozen, so i had to make it a little worse.
  8. Which will never happen, and has never happened.
  9. You know your team sucks when Erik Cole can undress your two best defensemen.
  10. Yeah, you know if he does that, the most we'll get for him is like a draft pick..
  11. I'd actually be kind of down for a Kesler for Spezza swap...

      With the right UFA signings, team could still contend next year.. So much easier to find players for Spezza than for Kesler

      Spezza looks and acts like a wiener. And he's even more injury-prone than Kesler, but he's not a beast like Kesler.

      How about Kesler and Edler for Cowen, Spezza, and a 1st?

  12. Everyone needs to be reminded of the Nash trade to NY. Remember when everyone was talking about how deadly Nash - Richards - Gaborik was going to be? That line, on paper, screams offense. But guess what? There was absolutely zero chemistry between them and Nash doesn't even play with Richards anymore. It's all about chemistry.
  13. Martin Era can score goals, does that mean we bring him in? It's not just about finding players who can score goals, it's about finding players who will fit with the roster AND score goals. Would there be chemistry between Kesler - Vanek? If you've seen Vanek play, that combination just doesn't make any sense. Same with Kesler - Gaborik. Moulson MIGHT make sense, but that wouldn't be worth it. He'd probably walk as a UFA anyways. Yeah, let's get a scoring winger to play with Richardson (who should be gone after this year with Horvat coming up and the recent Matthias trade). Santo is done for the season. Sedins play a cycle game. Does Gaborik fit that bill? No. Vanek? Nope. Moulson? Nah. We're not talking about Crosby here, you can't just insert any player and he'll produce. Has to be the perfect fit. But that's why it's so hard to find someone to play with Kesler.. We've known this for years. The absolute perfect player that would compliment Kesler perfectly is Patty Kane, but that's never going to happen. Ever.
  14. Schneider was not good enough in 2011 to bring us to the Cup finals. Did you see the one playoff game he played in vs Chicago? Shaky as hell. EDIT: And you're also dealing with what ifs.. What if we kept Luongo, traded Kesler for great assets, and somehow won the cup? What if?
  15. Again, you're just talking hindsight. Nobody is arguing that the Luongo contract doesn't suck right now. We're saying it was a good contract WHEN IT WAS SIGNED. Of course it sucks now, that's not what were trying to say.
  16. Cats outta the bag. Me, this guy, the other guy, and the other guy, ARE ALL THE SAME GUY! Seriously?
  17. I'm just trying to have a discussion about hockey, and that's why i signed up. Isn't what this place is for? Sorry if it seemed like i was "attacking" your posts, i was just simply discussing what I think of the situation. Jeez, no need to go all defensive by telling me to "get a life."
  18. Yes DeNiro, i am so against your opinion that i created two accounts to tell you how wrong you are. I actually took a time machine back to 2006. Pretty neat, huh? ??????????????????????????????????????
  19. Exactly. Without that contract, we probably would have not had the cap space for the likes of Higgins/Lappy/Torres.. Maybe even Ehrhoff. Team would have looked completely different. EDIT: DeNiro, you're just talking hindsight...
  20. Every single insider has reported that Pouliot was NEVER apart of the deal. Every. Single. One. EDIT: Hell, even Pittsburgh's PLAYER DEVELOPMENT STAFF has stated that they "do not want Ray Shero to trade Pouliot." That's why the trade never fell through, because they refused to add Pouliot. That's so logical, how can anyone not believe that? There wasn't any of this nixing business going on. We, as Canucks fans, just like to think the worst. They refused to add in Pouliot, and Gillis refused to trade him for just Sutter, 1st, and a 3rd. Simple as that.
  21. The reported trade was Sutter, 1st, 3rd. I guess that's fair value for you, right? Damn, Gillis totally should have pulled the trigger on that one. What trade did he exactly "nix"? EDIT: For the, 3rd time i think? A scoring winger with Kesler DOES NOT WORK.
  22. You're talking as if you know what happens inside the war room and how management operates. You don't. So how can you make these assumptions? Because of what Farhan tells you? You're not getting the point. Vanek/Gaborik/Moulson/etc. would NOT help this team. All of these wingers need a playmaking center to produce, which we DON'T HAVE. And no, none of them can play with the Sedins.
  23. Have you watched this team? Where the hell does Gaborik fit? With Kesler? Yeah, right, like Kesler - Gaborik would work.. Sedins - Gaborik? That's just even worse. Same goes for the likes of Vanek, Moulson, etc. If you actually think trading for rentals is a good idea, i don't even really know what to say. EDIT: This team is not 1 rental scoring winger from a cup, what's the point?
