You’re kidding right? Big D men don’t age well? ( and everything else) Hmmm -
[Rumour] Nikita Tryamkin eyeing NHL return
SilentSam replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Roughly same age as Bo,. But not as worn out as Bo. -
It’s a ride Higgy, omg. I like the what if , has an underdog tone to it
-
look up , waaay up
-
Dare. Do we take this to the “Trade / Rumours “ Threads ?…. it will at least detract from all those bleeding Bo and Hating JT ! Lol.

It could give us a buffer next season if we move all or one of Stillman, Dermott, Meyers . Myers should have given his 10 team list last July. it’s fun for me to think about, I enjoyed his play, and I still think he would be a great presence in our line up.. Timing can be everything, Of all the “what ifs” .. Gonchar , Foote, Tochett, Ilya, Kuz, Podz.. I resoundingly think being surrounded by these guys would have made a difference back then. I hope to see him in Camp. at the same time , I think Diamond F’s this up for the player.
-
Ok ,. Yes. (see above) .. but don’t tell @Ghostsof1915

Gonchar!! Get on the phone !! (see, get rid of Bo and the Universe answers)

If it isn’t evolvement in their own game , it’s adjustments to it to keep them playing to each others strengths.…. The ones that do it have a long and valid career . I’d be interested to know how many watch themselves on Video in the off season, and become truly analytical of themselves. Its the perfect time, especially with the emphasis on training to realize and make those adjustments. I bet you EP does !
-
Are we at the back half of the Miller deal already? Have we even started it yet? Who is sorry?.. enquiring minds need to know this,. You especially. Now we have a timeline? Last week EP was never going to sign here if Bo left,. Oh and we were going to trade Kuzmenko for more wishful thinking . Perhaps what dosent make sense to you,. Makes sense to others ? try a little patience, this management seems to use it constructively,. not destructively . They moved the mistake and the “sorry” culture to the Islanders I seems.

I think they saw an upside to Myers age, and bringing him closer to home ? .. but let’s not forget who he’s matched up against every night almost all by himself. He is a lightweight of a Big Man,. I just think he’s been lacking back up. My thoughts on D are always to pair a higher skilled play with a bigger more physical one.. but no compromise to skating abilities. I typically like the Zadorov, Bogosian, Olyisiak types.. which is why I like/ liked watching Tryamkin so much Simplify it as : Hughes Schenn OEL Zadorov Bear Bogosian. trust I’m using this ^^, to show MY hypothesis only. It takes Heavy minutes off of only 1 or 2 heavy D men.. it’s a game inside itself, those push and grind match ups are brutal. And it’s as big , or a bigger part of the finesse played.

In LE ‘s case , there was an injury sheet that should have been scrutinized.. head injuries .. he took some wick-ed hits. Benning , I think was feeling a bit “left out” of UFA signings when he had the money.. patience would have paid off. Same with Ferland.. I like the patience this Management group has, and if this year has been slightly sacrificed for that , so be it. It might be why we haven’t seen the Supro- Gusto D man we dream about,. Yet.
-
I agree, I don’t think it’s right to use a long term contract as a threat to go to UFA. … and I think we can both agree , JT is NOT LE. Having him here playing protectively and unengaged, looking only to retire healthy and in one piece was a slap in face to all of us. Theft. The truth is the Cap is not allowing teams to grow properly.. another topic entirely pointing fingers back to Bettman and having Teams below the productivity line for too long in markets are poor, when markets exist that are better. Bettman likes the power he is authorized with,. Owners and Managers should have more input.

Miller is not A mistake, they all make mistakes,. I’ve never said he dosent make mistakes , Bo made mistakes .. the flybys and failure to engage physically for teamates is horrible actually, for a Captain. Boeser can’t skate Easy to say oh, we can hire a $10 dollar “face puncher” for that, But then Bo should pay that Face Puncher for doing what a Captain should do,. and in the very least that is show emotion of a Leader a Captain , a combatant. nice , dosent cut it . It’s good for charity. I hope Miller gets the Captaincy, I’ve openly said that before.. why? because the one player people are thinking should get it now isn’t ready for it yet.. and that means putting up with all the BS in this city from journalism trying to pull this team down. JT can handle it , he does well speaking, non cliche-ique, … it will destroy EP to get the Captaincy at this time in Vancouver.. his time will come,. IF he stays here.
-
We’ll try talking about other players and their “lack of” in other threads,. Bo gone, JT is here.. at least I try to relate the reasons why I think managers made the decision they did. you or I dont change a thing and can’t,. .. and trying to pick apart JT , when there is an entire Team to watch make mistakes is just OTL,. Boeser can not skate, Mylers plays apprehensively, Demko could be busted .. .. and the upside of Raty and Beauviller, either one might turn out to be as good as or better than Bo alone.. that draft pick might help land our RHD .. Bo gone , goodbye, embrace this change .
-
K.. so if we’re going to pull out the microscope, why don’t we look at the TEAM? 1st the culture needs to change, and to be honest moving Bo and the next move trying to release / move Brock is a big part of that. Wd do we keep focusing on Miller like he’s the only one guilty of a mistake or mistakes?… it’s because the fans here LOVE Bo, and want to find everything wrong with JT because Bo is the “City Golden Boy”.. saying there’s nothing wrong with him. .. but now there is cause he’s gone.
-
I appreciate this Chon thank you.…. and who really knows what the future holds, it’s all speculative. but the facts remains Horvat is gone, and any hind sight is just that. I believe management got rid of the right player to the right buyer. Lou may still have a move with Bo and may do better for it.. but that’s an added risk not worth taking to injury, play, and return. something we don’t have to deal with anymore. So based on 100 pt season and his past , JR couldn’t find the deal worth trading JT for. But JR and team felt this deal was worth it feeling the stand off Bo was taking. I think we have done well with this. I also think JT’s game gets better all around once everyone is on the same page and playing a Tochett type game. I don’t think Bo’s quiet demeanour would survive here, for the culture change that has begun over this past week. I also think this deal was in the works earlier in January, I think it was LL’s opinion with this managing group, not to let his agent feel other offers and create the rumours abound.. I also think this week was specifically circled for the transaction,. It’s stops the press from creating the elephant in the dressing room every day and night,. But they can go wild on their pod cast,. Or suspiciously, to these boards lol.
