[Buyout] Canucks terminate Virtanen’s contract
guntrix replied to Where's Wellwood's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Y’all gotta pin the survivorstoriesproject post so people don’t keep asking about where the info’s coming from. -
[Signing] Canucks sign Tucker Poolman
guntrix replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I’m fine with the other signings. This one I’m not so sure about. -
(Rumour) Canucks concerned about a Pettersson offer sheet
guntrix replied to cuporbust's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I'm late to this party so I have a question: why wasn't Petey signed before? Why let it get to this? -

The wait and see approach applied for 1. But 8? Now I see why JB didn’t bother waiting. Good riddance. -

This is just like any other career. Some people have the ambition to try themselves in a more intense/high stakes big market while others are fine with - like you said - taking their paycheck and living in relative anonymity in a low-key market. There's people for everything and neither option is necessarily wrong. -

Tbf, if your main sources of deterrence are guys like Drance, Sekeres, Dhaliwal, Johnston and Twitter, you probably need to build some mental fortitude. -

This. People will blame the allegation for his demise, but the guy was already trending in this direction. Any NHL prospect would kill for the amount of chances Jake was given to succeed. -
I haven’t said that I’m against this trade precisely because it hinges on which OEL shows up. But that cap would’ve been gained next year regardless. Is what we paid the Yotes to take 3 1-year contracts off our hands worth it when we could’ve just bided our time? We’re certainly not contending this coming season.
-
Exactly. Absolutely huge gamble by Benning. Those referencing the dead cap going the other way forgot to mention the fact that it’s coming off the books in a year’s time. If OEL continues his decline, we’ll have a total albatross of a contract that we’ll have to deal with. It’s obviously too early to come to a conclusion but this could either be a blessing or a complete disaster.

Elias Pettersson | Quinn Hughes - Contract Discussion Thread
guntrix replied to Bertuzzipunch's topic in Canucks Talk
Not sure I agree with signing bridge/mid-term deals for guys of the quality of Hughes and Petey. These guys aren’t wait-and-see prospects; they’re probably our most valuable assets. Regardless, JB pretty emphatically stated that there won’t be cap crunch problems this off-season. I intend to hold him to his word. -
Does anyone know what they’d be “advising” on? Surely it wouldn’t be on hockey operations/management seeing as they have pretty much no experience there. If this is to get them into the org and groom them with the objective of having them take over positions of more responsibility/leadership in the future, then great. Otherwise, this does seem to be a bit of a PR move.

What is the main position target the canucks need
guntrix replied to Bertuzzipunch's topic in Canucks Talk
Top-6 forward. Guys like Highmore and Motte should not be seeing extended minutes in the top-6. -
I was thinking along the lines of shayster. Doubt there's much evidence at this point, to which she'd in all likelihood go for a settlement. But like Alf said, in the scenario where it successfully goes through civil, I'm not sure how it would work. Someone would need to have in-depth knowledge of Jake's contract and what would constitute a violation/breach.

Even if it involves sexual assault? Surely there's a clause in his contract that covers that too.

Definition of accountability: the state of being accountable or when an individual experiences consequences for their actions. Don't play coy, old. This is not about counterpointing. The only reason I mentioned Gudbranson and Sbisa was because you took the same approach with those two and after wasting years of my life arguing with you it turned out you were completely off. It's bewildering how you think I'd spend months (probably years knowing you) entertaining it again, though I'm surprised posters are still falling for it. And about Highmore - I said this trade was too premature to gauge a winner. Maybe you should make sure you read the actual posts in their entirety instead of winding yourself up over your past mistakes.
