  1. Maybe the owners , Jimbo and Green are in on tanking this season to get a shot at a second Hughes. If that was the case then I would be seriously impressed.
  2. He was good with Tanev. Yes , he needs to have a defensive minded partner who's job is to back him up. However this is a team problem right now and no 170 lb D man is going to win physical battles against 200lb forwards. Hughes game is mobility and as long as the game is fluid he is great defensively and offensively. Right now they are turning over the puck and getting hemmed into their own zone. Board battles are not Hughes strengths and never will. This is a team problem.
  3. This crap about Hughes is getting ridiculous. He was drafted as an offensive defenseman and he is on pace to become one of the best this league has ever seen. His job is not to be great at defending it is to drive the play. It is not his fault that this management can't find a legitimate defensive partner for him.
  4. How many minutes will LE get? 2 to 20 The winner of this competition will be put on the list to be the new GM of the Vancouver Canucks.
  5. They should have kept Gillis and put Jim in change of amature scouting and drafting.
  6. It is not like Jake or Gaudette have shown anything yet this year. So I don't see why not to try fresh faces. Mac has played hard and brings more than Roussel. I guess Roussel kills penalties. Jake has done a great LE impersonation, so we might as well see the real deal. Ottawa looks like they have woken up. We could have a clear road way to the bottom. LOL
  7. Things really open up for 2022/ 2023. Loui cap recapture and LE off the books. Last 9 mil. This is 7 years of Jimbo. I am not saying it is good or bad. Boeser RFA Bo 5.5 mil 2023 UFA Miller 5.25mil 2023 UFA Petey TBA Hoglander 891,666 Podkolzin ELC Hopefully Myers 6 mil 2025 UFA Schmidt 5.95 mil 2026 UFA Hughes TBA Who ever they add next year. I hope they are very careful next year. Focus on 2022/23. Take next year to see how many spots can be filled internally. Pod , Lind and maybe a high draft pick. Year after next this is the core of our team. Lots of cash. Fresh start. ( not sure I would like Jim spending this amount of cash) See what they can get for expiring UFA's this year. Sutter and Pearson should have value.
  8. What is confusing about Tanev is why they never tabled a 3.5 mil for two years right away.
  9. Wait until tomorrow game is over. You may get that feeling again.
  10. Is Loui going down or coming up? LOL Are we really going to have to watch this guy float around the ice.
  11. 650 said he was just activated Ya, it looks like LE was transferred to the taxi squad.
  12. I think it is a what you see is what you got scenario. I doubt there will be any trades this year. I doubt they will pull any assets from the expiring UFA's. Partly because of covid and partly because I think that Jim is a lame duck GM.
  13. The problem with Jake is that they are stuck with him for another year at 2.55.
  14. The problem with this year is that Jim won't be able to get any assets for the expiring ufa's. Trades will be difficult. So Pearson and Sutter walk at the year end. No return.
  15. Show us the info on Ferland contract being uninsurable. I had not heard that.
  16. I think the owners will fire Benning and let Weasel run the team for the rest of the year. They won't spend any more money this year. Just a gut feeling.
