  1. Miller this season is 44 points in 49 games. we have almost half a season of hockey left ..…. This is planet Earth calling..
  2. Consistency of aprx 1.0 ppg with the Vancouver Canucks.. that’s what did it for Miller.. and those “intangibles” you spoke of , Horvat does not possess. looked cute with the C on though. … and I think it came the other way,. I think JT wanted the 8.5 range, and the Canucks offered 8.
  3. You said my comment about pumping and dumping Horvat was a scheme that didn’t happen, and this outlier year for Horvat was all him. What you think wasnt taking place, was . And that why we got that much back for a 2C , Something even Lou L couldn’t replace by trading Horvat for again without looking like an ultimate fool. JR set it up, it’s part of the reason there was a no disclosure allowance between the Canucks and Horvats Agent over the Agent being able to shop for Horvat. (which would be tampering I beleive) JR and PA actually look pretty damn spiffy right now , I’m happy , that’s all that matters.
  4. I think you’ve contradicted your entire post with that first statement.. try ending with it. then it might make sense, and explain how we got a 1st , a really good asset in Beauviller, and the Islanders best prospect in Raty. for that , or who ever we were to trade Horvat with, is why he was “pumped”.… and that is irregardless of if he would have signed here or not. it’s not a scheme, it’s a tactic.
  5. I think that truly happens when he begins his new contract.
  6. No , people saw his true value before this season.. the over rating began shortly after Bo was set up to score for a higher trade value.. i L O V E this management group.
  7. Counter ? To your lost cause (Horvat) ? im having as much fun with this as possible now ,. I like fun.
  8. …. Didn’t we all go over this last Summer ?? is it , no…
  9. I still don’t see the desperation in his game,. But he has been in pretty good company this season. .. and had a key position on the pp
  10. He couldn’t trade Horvat again because he would get less back than what he gave for him knowing that dollar figure. Lou would look Dazzled and Blinded if he traded Horvat for less than what he got .
  11. “ MOST insiders say this trade was fair” ?? Lol no wonder you’re being like this, you’re not following the right “peeps”.… time to trade them too
  12. It’s called DESPERATION,. Something Lou Lamorella is having right now, .. and something Horvat has NEVER played with. Horvat was pumped and dumped this year.
  13. .. and from those practice clips , he is not out of step ,. That’s going to be an exciting line to Watch tomorrow!
  14. i think the return brought a better skater to us, with a good release.. sure to get good ice time which is what apparently he’s been missing.
  15. Personally speaking, I just want to watch Tryamkin skate and cream people.. that’s why he is feared as a top shutdown D in the KHL,. He shuts the first progression down.. even in the neutral zone. Hes also used consistently on the PK and is very good at it. That kind of a D man is unsung.. people want to see goals for a player. I’ve watched him the pst 3 years, and yes a lot of teams will be interested because of those reasons.. Two years ago.. vs a guy same size as J Benn.
  16. moving on.. this kid is going to do well with EP and Podz,. Giving him the best chance to succeed right from the get go.. He is a very good skater
  17. Yip,. Lou be getting a cease and desist order from ownership pretty quick lol.
  18. I sense your desperation. .. and your willingness to put this under the microscope, but this is a move for the short term future,. Next season, Not involving 8.5 for 8 years for a 2C. Others will have the opportunity to step up . and we have half a season and the Summer to see what happens. Brock is the next to go , somehow, somewhere, someway.. Then I think we’ve cancelled the soft culture associated with this club.
  19. I said “ with “ him.. that’s in the context of a team effort. Don’t be so quick to look to inflame .. it dosent look good on you.
  20. He is if we win a cup with him.. but anybody we move has to be replaced with someone of equal value and a plus. We weren’t going to get that for Miller because he is worth more to this team. Horvat IS easily replaced.. A 2 C, who has been set up to score this season,. It’s worked out well for us. as it will in 3 years with Miller IF we need to move him. I just wish this management would have seen the depreciation in Boesers overall play and prowess, and not give him an offer. but they didn’t really get a good look at him. Personally , I’d be happy to have that 6.5 in Capspace. watch Joshua or Lazar, or Podz ,. Or whoever they place with Miller light it up.. that’s what helped Bo this year,. mans ghe fact remains this could have been strategic from managements point, to pump and dump him for wanting Big Dollars and holding out.
  21. D man Petersson looks exceptional, if think someone said Forsling is looking good to. We have eyes on Jake Livingstone, and of course Aidan Macdonagh .. I can see our 1st pick (via Islanders) being used to acquire a pro . Demkos name being floated now too. I wouldn’t mind seeing stallward BBurns here, something I hoped we would look into early before he was traded with 50% retained (4.5m?) it’s not something that can’t be resolved for next season.. which I think is where we are all looking now.
