  1. I would like to add that because of COVID, Toffoli and Tanev's contracts are what they are now. If we had to re-sign both of them if there aren't COVID, they would cost atleast another 1-1.5 million each.
  2. We dodged a huge bullet with that one. As the rumour was 5OA + Horvat to Montreal for Subban.
  3. Yes, it gave this core of Horvat, Pettersson, Boeser, Hughes, Demko a taste of how great it is to play in the playoffs and how good they could be in a do or die situation. This is crucial as if we didn't have that run, I believe we would already hear a lot more players wanting out at this point. Also, the problem isn't letting these free agents you mentioned walk for nothing, it is why they walk for nothing. Benning failed misearably in the free agency period from 2016-2018 is the reason why we couldn't keep the names you mentioned above. Out of the names you mention, the ones I really miss is Tanev and Toffoli and to an extend, Stecher. Tanev imo it is exactly the type of D-man this team is missing right now. Keeping Toffoli should've been a no brainer as he fitted in so well with the team. The failure of Benning in the 2020 off-season is in excusable. I have said all along, I don't hate the trade to acquire Toffoli, I hate how he never even attempted to re-sign him and let him walk for nothing.
  4. I hate Parise because his dad was Canadian yet he ditch Canada to be a proud American. &^@# this guy ever since I found out about this fact.
  5. He does. I went to a Canucks and Stars game way back and he scored against us.
  6. 1-0 Canucks Demko GWG Player Name scored into the Coyotes empty net during a delay of game penalty. After review, Demko is last Canuck to touch the puck so he gets credited for the GWG.
  7. I feel like I could say the same thing for Pearson and Hoglander as well. Honestly, I felt like this team just had absolute terrible puck luck after 2020 playoffs.
  8. I am pretty sure Travis Hamonic is just a myth at this point.
  9. He actually has 7 points in 9 games with Ottawa. I won't call him struggling to stay in the line up for Ottawa. I like Highmore and I hope we keep him as part of our role players going forward.
  10. We also have another game against the Ducks, another 2 more against the Sharks. So those are really crucial games too.
  11. To be fair, Forsling been on waivers many times before he figured it out.
  12. I don't think we are playing all that bad. Some bad breaks and bad bounces plus Demko not on his game makes this look a lot worse than it is. Honestly don't think this is a bad game played by the boys.
  13. I would not even go anywhere near this guy. I supervised someone in the past who is a very productive worker but had an absolutely terrible attitude towards their colleagues/supervisors. No one can tolerate them so that eventually we just moved on from them when their contract is up despite the fact that they are a very productive worker. It is just the same in hockey,
  14. &^@# the Flyers, they went on a streak of losing every game to teams we are trying to catch.
