  1. Of course he is. It is a contract year. He will go back to normal Bo after he gets the pay raise just like JT
  2. My thought which has now been lost was in part B of the question which was why has Stillman not been sent down? I understand we traded Dickinson and a Second for Stillman. I also mentioned in my original post that we did not have to hold on to JT and instead traded him to the Rangers and Rathbone for Marino thus getting two RHD. The guy I quoted only chose to get upset about getting cap.
  3. Is that worth Dickinson and a 2nd though? Also, if they had made trades last year like JR was talking about we would not have had to make stupid trades like this.
  4. Trade JT last year and Rathbone to get two RHD and other things to boost this year like JR said they were going to do. Maybe start there. Why trade Dickinson and a 2nd for the ECHL D-man, Stillman? Why have they not owned the mistake and sent him packing?
  5. I really like him with Lazar and Bo for that reason. Big guys. 2 of them will hit you
  6. Pits writer says Montreal is offering Josh Anderson for Boeser. Might be adds but what do you think?

      At his current value I think Boeser for Anderson would qualify as a hockey trade.  Not that I'd want them to be traded straight across (Montreal's gotta add a sweetener) but Brock hasn't been the most consistent player either, and I can't help but wonder whether Anderson next to Petey could become an Alex Tuch type (fast, decent shot, physical).  Of course I'd like an RD coming back but I doubt we'd get Savard.  

      If we could get Anderson (bad contract swap), Kovacevic (big depth RHD with upside) and pick I'd do it.

      I would do the trade Phil_314 proposes, he is right, Brock is younger with less term and better track record, so MTL needs to add significant sweetener... is Anderson really fast? if fast and big, could fit more of what we need. He would look good next to Petey or ...dareI say it Miller as the 2C...

      @Canucks Curse a couple instances here of him powering and barreling to the net, plus his hands and blistering shot when he's on his game.

       

  7. HAHAHA. Weigh us down? Typical Canucks fan. Just like the fans hated Edler but now want him back. Wanted the Sedins to retire to be relived of their contract... list goes on and on. OEL is doing his job and should even be on the PP1 to make it more lethal as he lifts the PP2 from the doldrums. Gets some goals scored on him and Anchor contracts Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa Hughes gets gifted PP1 time because he is the golden boy. Against Montreal, lazy back checks lead to goals against and trade everyone OEL is an Anchor trade everyone. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
  8. What about Hughes then? He in the Montreal game, it was his bad D the resulted in 2 goals against
  9. She looks better than me at math. At least she looks like she is computing. I just look dumb and start drooling then shout 42. I dunno.
  10. They added some free UFA's and did some minor trades. Benning could have signed those players. If you were the GM, you could have signed them
  11. Because he was handed Crosby, Malkin and Letang. He took on the job here. Hired a rookie GM and then surrounded him with too many voices. Management is built like they are a bank not a sports team. Too many opinions and directions. You need one direction and then you have to run with it. Failure is all JR.
  12. The management had plenty of opportunities to put their stamp on the team while buying some cap. JT to Rangers - Potential, RHD, 3c and... Mariano for Rathbone = Another RHD JR said he was going to make changes but needed 6 months before he started. It is a year and a day.
  13. Imagine what a problem OEL contract would be if management wasn't so inept. Trade JT to Rangers for Cytil, Nils Lundkvist + Trade Rathbone for Marino Did not let Chatfield walk OEL Lundkvist Marino QH Chatfield Schenn Myers Burroughs Oh and now no Stillman trade Yup OEL is the problem
  14. The management group that had Rangers drooling over JT Miller and could have gotten that D man that is shining on the Stars and more, but didn't. Were offered Marino for Rathbone, but didn't. Traded Dickinson and a second to get Stillman and capspace. Used the capspace to trade for Bear who is doing well but could not beat out the RHD that management let walk for nothing. Now, the management group are so inept that they need Boeser's agent to find a trade because they cannot. You think they will rip someone off?
  15. Benn holding on to Hughes and driving him into the boards the other game right a bell? I do not disagree but there are times.
  16. I think Demko should get a shot at this game. The only way to get him going is to play him. Playing him against SJ should help to get his confidence back.
  17. Schenn is like having Cement- (can't remember the nickname) on the line with Gretzky. He allows Hughes to play his game without the fear of a cheapshot. Everyone knows that if they try to play dirty they will have to fight and as most of the weasels in the league aren't fighters... He might have been a 7th on Tampa but he has a bigger role here.
  18. Having Burroughs with him allows him to play his game instead of chase the game.
  19. Well... Gudbranson was hyped. Our PK sure could have used Sutter last year and this year. Baer was pretty good for us until he got the double concussion. Then, he was considerably slower. Our PK could use the Dickinson that is playing on Chicago
