  1. It's all Francis' fault for being a cheapo!!! Vegas took a chance on Fleury and made a cup run in first year driving their fans crazy!!!
  2. I'm interested too but is he willing to take $2M x2 being mostly backup?? His numbers show he's among the best backup goalies in the league but then again Boston's defense is pretty damn solid!
  3. If he can play tougher than MacEwen, I'm happy!!! I wonder if he can do a passing job too at centre...
  4. OK.. Jokes aside, does Boston even have cap room to fit both Holtby and Schmidt after sending us DeBrusk?
  5. We'll be nice and throw in Schmidt into the deal and only get DeBrusk and a 3rd rounder!!
  6. Any minute now just like the other thread about Scmidt!! Please don't go away while the GMs and agents are working on final details!!
  7. Hope so!! I can't seem to find enough YouTube evidence that he's a solid 3C... But if he was good enough for Dallas on third line, I'm sure he'll do a decent job for us!
  8. And we gave cute lil Bowey a total of zero playing mins!!
  9. Damn it JB!! He sold us Dicky as our new 3C!!! Can we bring back Boyd to fill 4C?
  10. Excellent!!! Hope we sign him and he can be a great Canucks ambassador in the community!! NHL.com is listing him as a centre but he plays RW mostly??
  11. Ans do we know if he speaks fluent Punjabi??
  12. But Zadorov will ask for much more $ than Kulikov?? I'd take Kulikov for cheap who speaks really good English and can babysit Podz...
  13. OK.. So... Let's say ur given ONLY 2 choices... Tkachuk who guarantees points or Jake V who's constantly in the news for wrong reasons?? Sometimes in life we don't always have perfect characters to build a winning team...
  14. Let's hope Dickinson and Garland won't ask for big$.... Coz their agents probably know JB is a very generous man!! $3M as a starting point for 4the liners lol...
  15. But we hate the rat though!!! I had no idea Garland was a pest and laying dirty hits and then MIA when challenged to a fight!!
  16. I've always liked Brendan Smith!! Big tough guy who can play 4th line winger and D-man... Can drop the gloves too... I'd take him for $1.5-2M!!
  17. He didn't clear all $14M of cap space... Much of it covers OEL and Garland's $.... Does Garland really play like Marchand? Now that's a sweet surprise!! Just thought he's a small sniper.
  18. OK... Forgive me if I've been ignorant, what kind of character issues does Tkachuk have?? He put up so many points in his career, plays on the edge although some hits were pretty dirty... But did he get himself into such a deep trouble like this?? He gave his all in every shift!!
  19. And because we had drafted Jake, we said no thanks to Matt Tkachuk and opted for Juolevi instead... And the rest is history!! What a sad turn of events.... Nonetheless I still have faith in Juolevi... He just gotta work on his slapshots from the point and prove that he can bring his junior dominance to NHL!
  20. Just realized there wasn't an official "Thank You Jake! " tweet unlike most other players who got bought out.... Shame after 6 years of service!! Lesson learned for other young players... If you don't behave like a real man... Crap will bite u in the ass eventually! Just ask Mr. Cosby!
  21. That was expected and I wonder which NHL team would approach him... just not worth the risk!! He'll probably latch on somewhere in Russia! So, we now have about $2M freed up and we should be able to sign a solid 4th line centre or keep Hamonic!!
  22. If the price is right, I want us to make a run at either Kulikov (Podz' designed buddy) or Hjalmarsson (veteran leadership, low maint hardworking Swede who can cover both sides)
  23. This is getting a bit annoying.... "any minute now"??? For real?? Let's hope we can ship out both Schmidt and Holtby ASAP and get some picks & prospects!
  24. Good point!! Time to roll the dice anyway!! I'm happy we won't have to endure one more season of the most overpaid 4th line in the history of hockey!!!
