  1. Dickinson now in Covid protocol... Doesn't the team still practice/eat/travel together? Still don't understand how they can just isolate a guy and go ahead with a game.
  2. Boeser has been one of our most in-form players under Boudreau. Sucks. Hope his exclusion isn’t the difference.
  3. Grew up in an Avalanche household. Still remember going to hockey practice in my Avs jersey.
  4. You’d also need to take into account draft positions.
  5. Not sure at this point if Pettersson is an irreplaceable part of the core at the cap hit he’s commanding.
  6. Forget how China trying to cover up the spread at first made it virtually impossible for the world to see the virus coming (which is insane in and of itself); the fact China still refuses to close down its wet markets even after seeing how quickly these strains transcend national boundaries (not to mention the millions that have died) is simply unbelievable.
  7. Same people saying neither went on a tear when Juolevi didn’t make the team lol. We would be crazy not to take Dahlin.
  8. For the record, I’m on board with the Rutherford hire. I just thought this forum (and you) had collectively learned from the Benning experience not to blindly accept everything. But the cult-like tendencies this forum was literally famous for 3 years back are clearly coming back.
  9. The ‘interim’ GM hiring the permanent AGM who will work with the permanent GM who’s not even hired yet makes absolutely no freaking sense. How people agree with this rationale is beyond me.
  10. I guess this confirms JR will be running the show. Not sure how the incoming GM will feel about the AGM being a close confidant of JR. Just hope the Rutherford Show doesn’t backfire, the GM should’ve had a say in the AGM hire imo.
  11. I mean, it’s going to get to the point where we won’t be able to fit all of Pearson, Miller, Horvat, Boeser, Garland and Pettersson with Hoglander’s and Podkolzin’s ELCs set to run out in 1-2 years time. Which of those top-6 players would you trade away to keep Pearson? In fact, there’s a chance even trading Pearson won’t give us enough cap to retain all those guys. In a cap world, we simply can’t have it all. #ThankYouDimJim for wasting all those precious ELC years.
  12. Pearson’s by far the most replaceable forward. In fact, with trying to retain as many of our younger forwards as their pay goes up, our short-term priority should be offloading Pearson’s cap hit.
  13. Hughes struggling against one of the biggest teams in the league isn’t the surprising part, it’s the fact that we’ve put him on PK duty.
  14. If Rutherford’s goal is to “mentor” the next GM, as is being reported, McPhee wouldn’t really fit the profile.
  15. Can someone give me the down-low on why people’s opinion on Rutherford is so divided? I was seeing on other boards that fans of other Canadian teams wanted us to hire Rutherford. Now this happens. Can’t say I’m not a little bit worried. edit. No need.
  16. The changes in this team are night and day. The intensity and cohesiveness with which they play now are so much different than before.
  17. If you got a massive promotion at your job and you suddenly started sucking, would you not get scrutinized for it?
  18. Yeah, thought it was strange too. Shouldn’t be up to him to decide whether a hockey decision makes sense or not.
  19. Somewhere out there oldnews is pulling out stats to show the Canucks just made a grave mistake.
  20. The organization is just putting a bandaid on the problem until the GM is replaced too.
  21. Still can’t stop laughing at the fact Gaudette scored on us. Pretty much sums up the season.
  22. Is there a market anywhere in the world, in any sport, that mostly reports positive stories? If there is, I don’t have any knowledge of it. Unless you work in VanCity Buzz’s feel-good section, that’s not really the media’s job description. Players need to stop blaming the media for their own shortcomings IMO.
