Change of ownership? What an incredibly stupid idea. Yeah, maybe we can get a good owner, like a Melnyk, who will take the team to another city and turn it into a salary floor team. NO, the grass is NOT always greener elsewhere, it only looks that way to the extremely shortsighted.

Comparing Lekkerimaki to a player, who was the best player in the SHL at his age group, and broke records.... so no pressure kid.
Maybe give him a couple of years to progress and then see, what can accomplice. He was picked 15th, so I don't quite understand, what folks are expecting?
How about we give him some breathing space and let him develop before we throw him before the wolves? He likely won't reach the heights of Petey, but only few does, so I think we should temper our expectations somewhat....
He's so young that even though he basically lost a year of development after we drafted him, he will still be only 18 at this year's draft! His playoff performance looks very promising, let's see how he does next year, hopefully with better health. He doesn't need to be another Petey to be a very useful player, but we can always dream, right?

Salaries up 4.2% per year average over the last 20 years? Like double the rate of inflation? I call BS. Not a chance in hell. Whoever that quote comes from has lost any credibility they might have had.

This guy has been a bigger bust than Alexander Daigle.
A 23rd overall pick who is 10th in production for his draft class is a bigger bust than a first overall pick who is 19th in production for his class? We evidently have different definitions of bust. What is yours?

An explanation is not making excuses
Yeah, many on CDC seem to be unwilling or unable to distinguish between reasons and excuses.

None of these guys are going to win the Norris, but if they can play a few good games at a time on our bottom pair and rotate through, our depth is starting to look pretty good. The biggest value that they can provide other than being servicable, is that they are all on cheap deals, that is huge for our cap crunch.
I could see Hirose-Johansson being a decent third pair down the road.
Me too. Like starting this October.

BoC expected to hold interest rate this week, even as economy keeps some steam
With inflation coming down nicely while the economy stays strong, are we headed for the fabled, idyllic "soft landing"? Like the opposite of stagflation?

But isn't the concern that, if countries don't need to buy US dollars to buy oil, the value of the US dollar will drop?
Yes.

This article stinks
Wow, what a carefully reasoned well thought out rebuttal. Yes, it sure is stinky of the author to point out so many facts that people like you choose to pretend are not true. Really, why should you care about other people getting sick and dying, right?

Not me.
I never said he was. I do think you very much are because all over this board you've defended Trudeau and the liberals.
look at this another lefty boss haha.
I am most certainly not a lefty. I am a poster who would prefer to have posters follow the rules, allowing me and others to peruse the CDC forums to read content about the thread topics.
Endless strings of posts containing political discussions which are not remotely related to the thread topics are prohibited here because they are unpleasant for the 99.9% of the posters who are not participating.

Yeah maybe we should head it over to the adult section and you can explain the new appointment of the ethics commissioner to me haha. Love to hear liberals try with that one.
Excellent idea. Please do.

I am no fan of Trudeau as he has weakened Canada consistently since first elected. Inflation is one of the measuring sticks that indicates that. Debt service on government debt will continue to climb. At what % of the budget does it have to hit before people wake up?
Investment capital continues to leave Canada. People should ask why? Investment improves productivity and thereby increases the ability to service debt. The reverse is happening. Trudeau policies have much to do with this.
You are seriously trying to blame our recent inflation on Trudeau? Not Putin, who started a war that has hugely impacted the world supply of energy and food and created massive inflation throughout the entire world? Please keep your political crap to yourself.

While I love this AND Kuz as well....nothing will ever take away from the electrifying impact Pavel had and how he really was something special to watch here. Kuz is too...but stats only tell half the story. Some of JT's recent steal the puck and go breakaways remind me of Pavel in more respects. That get it and go stuff that has a guy pull away from the pack to score on a breakaway.
Bure was brilliant. Kuz is too, but "passing" Bure in numbers is only part of it. Bure will always shine bright in my eyes.
Need to work hard to think of a more exciting player than Bure. I still remember his very first end-to-end rush: no goal, but wow! Kuz can't touch Bure's straight-line speed, but he is so slippery that he reminds me of a full-sized Huggy the way he evades checks while hanging on to the puck then distributing it perfectly.

Well a few weeks ago we had a 12.1% chance of lading him and we could have improved upon that if Tock-it didn't burn-out QH for 59 minutes/game and EP40/Miler for 27-28 minutes/game, and now we're at only a 4.2% chance to land him and headed towards zero pretty fast with these "vanity" wins - and for what?
9 hours ago, 4petesake said:Are you sure those odds are right? Didn’t we only get as low as 6th or was it 5th? Anyway even at 5th Tankathon has the odds of picking first at 8.5% and has us sitting at 6%. Is this wrong?
It looks like we’ve only dropped 2.5%
Yeah, the mathematically challenged trolls assume that everyone else is equally deficient, so they can fabricate nonsensical numbers to crap on the team and nobody will notice.
To the trolls, haters and hardcore tankheads, there is a HUGE difference between a 91.5% chance of NOT landing 1st overall and a 94% chance. So why not make up some new imaginary numbers that make their position even stronger so they can rant about how stupid the team is.

Miller is everything the Canucks universe has wanted since seeing Daniel Sedin get punched in the face repeatedly by Marchand in the finals, and doing nothing.
He is the right choice going forward, and it was foolish to think otherwise.
I'd like to see Marchand try that with JT. I think he would get squashed like a bug.

I wonder if there's any kind of plan to move him at the deadline. If he comes in and plays lights out and his next contract looks to be in the neighborhood of $7m x 7 years, his value at next deadline would be huge........that would be the ultimate buy low(ish) and sell at peak value.
Maybe not plan A, but I hope it's an option
Considering how difficult it is to find quality RHD, that would be a truly ludicrous plan. Only an armchair GM would think that would make sense.

That certainly is satisfying. It would be more so of course if the poster you are responding to would admit that they were wrong. But posters like that who make up drivel for the purpose of crapping on our team are seldom willing to be honest.

I wonder if Tryamkin would do a Kuz 1 year deal as a show me? Kuz had better rep coming out of the KHL than Try does.
That's possible, but their situations are not at all comparable. Kuz was going to be on a one-year ELC deal regardless of who signed him, whereas Tram's deal will not be a ELC and could be anything up to 7 years.

I have to laugh at all the willfully ignorant clowns like Drance who make a point of crapping all over this team regardless of what they do.
The team addressed what is by far the biggest and most difficult-to-fill hole in the lineup by acquiring a top RD who perfectly fits Petey's and Huggy's age bracket.
They are like hens' teeth, yet Drance and many of his ilk on CDC purport to believe that we can just go down to the elite DMan store and pick up an elite RHD anytime we want.
For those of you who agree with Drance, how many RHD under-26 years old and in the top 20 of NHL Dman scoring have changed hands in the last couple of years, and what did they cost?

Didn’t that guy fly to the moon in 67?
Oh wait , that was Neil.
It’s almost incomprehensible that the last time Toronto made the finals was the same year man first walked on the moon.
Actually, it was 2 years before man first walked on the moon.

That is the normal route for most inspections.
We were committed to buying the home at the agreed to price barring major issues and the homeowner knew that so allowed us to proceed with the inspection beforehand.
Must be nice to live in an area where the market is slow enough that you can do that. Usually in the lower mainland if you try that on a home that anyone would want to buy, someone else puts in an offer and buys the home out from under you, and you are out several hundred dollars and still looking for a home.

The hiring of a certified home inspector is well worth the price as they can pick out many things that the average homeowner might miss. A good inspector will give you a detailed list of what he has found. PS: Only have this done if you are reasonably certain this is the home you want and in the last stages of actually buying it. If the current owner will not let the inspector check the place out before you put pen to paper; you should look for a different home.
That would be very rare. Almost any home seller would have no problem allowing an inspector to check their place out. But very few buyers are willing to spend several hundred dollars checking out a home before finding out if the seller is willing to sell for a price and terms that the buyer is willing to pay. Normally a home is inspected after an offer is accepted, during the "Subject to" period.

"Plays a bit of PK and can score shorties in the OHL."
Or to put it another way, one that does not damn him with faint praise, he is very strong on the PK, is leading his league in shorthanded goals this year and tied a franchise record for shorthanded goals last season.
Considering what our PK has been like, sounds like a player we could use if he continues to develop.

Nice healthy sign to see our inflation rate continue to drop, now below 6%. Although there will still be the "no way, look at the prices of...." posts from people who refuse to believe that inflation has been coming down since the middle of last year.

Is There Anything We Can Do to Bring About a Change in Ownership?
in Canucks Talk
Posted
It's amazing how many of the armchair GMs with delusions of wisdom choose to ignore these obviously relevant facts.
Those of us who are not children can remember what it was like with the team's previous owners. The Griffiths, who cared deeply about the team but who did not have the necessary financial resources, and Orca Bay who had plenty of resources but who viewed the team as a pure investment and who had zero interest in the team.
An owner who cares about the team enough to follow the team closely, to pay well over the salary cap every year, and who has the resources to do so, like an Aquilini, is a blessing. Only a simpleton or the willfully obtuse would take them for granted and assume that ANY other owner would automatically be better.
