Although I agree with struggling because of the reasons you've pointed out, he is a pro making solid dough, playing in the best league in the world - he should act like it.
Should that even be in the equation? I know you are kidding.
But unless you get a major return, there's no point trading a player every team would love to have.
We need him too.
The thing is, sure it's on this/our team, but it is common throughout the league.
My beef is, if you're making millions of dollars playing the game you love and are playing in the best league in the world, it's a privilege, respect it.
He's never played full-time in the NHL, and yes, he's entitled to more, but as I'm impressed with his performances, the Canucks should sign him on a show-me deal.
Trevor is a Canuck true and true. None of us no exactly what exactly played out behind the scenes with Benning and FA.
If you know, please enlighten us.
Unreal. You're right, many times it was war. Even Brad Maxwell could throw 'em down.
Amazing team and Smyl was the heart and soul, as he was with the Canucks. That's why his number is hanging from the rafters.
This is absolutely true. Obviously Kane as a player is someone you'd want on your team.
But like you said, he's worn out his welcome.
As far as term, not a chance. He's at the point where he plays-as-he-goes.
Whoever signs him, good luck.
And all the best to him as well.
Who cares if he has more value now? Of course he does, that's pretty obvious. I would find out first whether he wants to be part of THIS team moving forward. You don't throw away player's like JT just because you're trying to capitalize on a great return.
Why do you think so many other teams are interested in him? Why should we trade away that caliber of player? We need him too.
He's the kind of guy who hates losing.
