So was the plan to hire Fabre why they shut this down?

That is what liked best about CDC was it was a very easy access to Canucks news but also usually beat many professional outlets to report NHL news. I mostly stayed out of live GDT and only jockingly (intended) posted in trade proposal threads because it does take on some of the inherent toxicity of social media, even in it’s juvenile form. I did like that it was predominantly Canadian which is where Reddit often loses me. I can certainly understand why the Canucks want to close this board. The unavoidable nature of the political talk is probably something best not to have on their IT, Security and Legal departments lists of concerns.

Really wasn’t looking to debate CFF. May go back at some point or just creep on there because it is still best site for getting info quickly. Was wondering if anyone has tried other sites. HF Boards is a nightmare, CanucksCorner looks fairly dead, hockeyforums.net looks long dead.

I don’t want to start pointing fingers or blaming. Just was looking for a new home for Canuck talk.

Nope, basically got told that wasn’t entitled to formulate an opinion on the current or past play of the team if it was anything other than positive. ‘When a mod tells me that I really didn’t see any reason to stay.

Yeah, it is complicated by the fact that I eschew all social media otherwise finding the right community would be probably be easier. Appreciate the comment. Seems ludicrous that you get targeted for constructive criticism but that is the reactive world we live in.

Left CFF because of overly aggressive mods. Any other reasonably moderated fan forums?

Don’t know but still one or the other.

Myers hurting a tank? He is the tank commander.

I don’t think Hronek is signing for $4.5M.

I am not sure we can afford another high end top 4 D. Pettey is going to get paid big time and we will need to pay Hronek. OEL penalty kicks in 2 years for a couple more years before becoming manageable. There is a reason we only signed one player for more than 2 years this off-season. Our D would potentially be one of the better setups in the league with good size and puck moving with him but this is a pipe dream. Though never say never with trader Jim around.

Now you want to know my point when you first told me I wasn't entitled to posting my opinion. My opinion as stated in this post and the last one about Podz is what I stated. Pro athletes don't deserve pats on the head for showing up in shape and that is what all these articles are. These are just fluff as most everything in the Province is. Here is the thing, you don't need to read or post to my response just like you are saying to me. Why post anything if you don't want to see an opinion contrary to yours. I don't think Studnicka is close to making this team in shape or not. As you noted there is a glut of wingers of varying quality but almost all better than what Studnicka has shown. He is a bottom 6 NHL/AHL tweener. I still don't think an athlete being fit is news especially if they don't ask the simple question of why in your prior years as a professional athlete did you decide to come into camp in something other than optimum shape, but that would be journalism not a silly puff piece.

Right back at ya.

How many of these articles do we need a year. So Brock, Kuz, Podz and Studnicka decided to get in shape this year. That is a professional athlete's obligation, why is this news. Well I hope Studnicka has a great year in Abby, glad he decided fitness was important for a professional athlete. Fit or not he isn't in the top 15 forwards.

I think Jack may be the most exciting player have seen since Bure (I always exclude McDavid from any discussions, he is an outlier). EP is the better overall player and the one would prefer to build around.
