  1. You're absolutely right. Just like Yahoo search, back in the day. They left a ton of money on the table because no one knew how to monetize the business effectively.
  2. I'm just saying, we could all "speculate" about the potential negative implications of Hughes, Petey, Miller, ad nauseum. Where does it stop? It's out of our hands. Let's just hope they can build a winning team.
  3. I agree. There's far too much of this overly suspicious type of thinking, not only on this board, but in the media, and life in general. Definitely not a healthy way to go through life. It's either people in need of attention, or people who have a poor outlook on life, period.
  4. I agree with this. If you're a real player, you want to compete against the best. That's how you take it to the next level.
  5. I believe it was last year where one of the reporters or? asked him about the Captaincy, but it was clear that he was going to take the summer to think about it, and it looked like he wasn't comfortable with it. Does anyone else remember this and can recall the details better than I can?
  6. Same. It was between Miller and Thuggy Bear. No to Petey. He didn't seem comfortable, so it's best to let him play his game. Congrats to the mighty Quinn!
  7. That's why it's best that he doesn't sign his new contract until after this year. He's betting on himself to improve upon last year, and when he does, he's going to get paid and be worth every penny.
  8. I agree, and he's only beginning to come into his own. Last year wasn't a fluke. He's only going to get better.
  9. Then walk. What's nonsense is... that's only your opinion. He was chosen Captain and wasn't leading by example. He's around the same size as Miller and can actually throw 'em down pretty good, but... I'd rather have Henrik than Bo leading the way. As far as GM, perhaps you should apply for the position. And you say, virtually nobody liked the return of this deal. Really? What do you realistically expect to get for Horvat? Dobson?
  10. That's what we're pretty much doing now with Myers. It's got to stop. And like you say, this management has to get the salary cap under control.
  11. That's a line in Animal House, John Belushi. Haha! Edit: Just saw the post above.
  12. And last year he began transforming into "Thuggy Bear"!
  13. True. That was a hard team to play against.
  14. Well, who really knows? Some guys take longer. Nichkushkin is a prime example. At least the Canucks still have Kravtsov's NHL rights. Let's hope the kid figures it out.
  15. If Pearson is healthy, he's a good scrapper. But...
  16. Yeah exactly. There's no rush to move him, yet. Depending how the team plays and where we are in the standings come TDL. Plus, because of the fact he's playing for his next contract, has better coaching and should have a reduced role, I expect he'll be more of an asset this year, unlike last.
  17. If you can pull that one off, I'm sure you'll find a job somewhere in the NHL as a GM. Nice one!
  18. As much as he was a gong show last year, he's going to be playing for his next contract. And like you say, he's working with better coaches in a lesser role. Depending if we're in a playoff position, trade him at the TDL.
