  1. What would you trade to SJ for the rights to Karlsson so we can negotiate with him now?

      EK is the best UFA in years.  If we could get him it would make our completed rebuild elite.

      I guess if you believed that you'd turn into a firefighter chick magnet with 20 year old models hanging off you if you used their razors, this commercial might come as a shock.

      I have the very best seats possible....in my living room in front of a big screen TV. I can see way more from the broadcast than I could ever see from the stands. Now if Vancouver had the first overall pick, I might think about it, but big bucks for a 10th overall? Nope.

      Lets just say all three contracts are major busts.. no need to sugar coat anything.

       

      I think LE knows the fans are pissed at him and his contract, but what can the guy do? 

      He has been injured for most of the contract, and was essentially brought in to play with the Sedins

      who are no longer here...

       

      So blame management if anything.

      @RRypien37 @Stelar I'm talking about the way Neal was talked about when they signed him and still think they have - Calgary thought they were getting a player with grit. This is the kind of thing the Cowgary media says about him: Neal plays with a grit and heaviness and has playoff experience that Bill Peters’ squad doesn’t have a ton of — intangibles that tend to become more valuable when you’re trying to wear an opponent down during the course of a best-of-seven series.

      https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/flames-thoughts-can-james-neal-return-form-time-playoffs/

       

      As far as Loui goes, if you want to complain about him go ahead, but he is a solid defensive player with 1/2 the offence we wanted. Sure thats not good, but its not the complete bust situations of guys like Lucic and Neal.

      Flames missed Hamilton’s offence. (2goals and 2 assists and a plus four) and really missed Ferland’s aggressiveness.  

      Bad trade.

      i do like calgary's talent pool though

      it just needs to mature a bit

      and they need to add a couple of solid pieces

      (and like all teams shed dead weight)

      Tanev- late 1st           (Toronto, Winnipeg, NYI) 

      Markstrom- late 1st   (Calgary, San Jose, Columbus)

      Pearson- mid 2nd      (anyone basically, probably keep him for now)

      Sutter- mid-late 2nd  (Pittsburg, Colorado, Edmonton)

       

      Im positive that Benning will want to do something though, considering its a hometown draft and he keeps talking about it.

      why trade pearson

      makes no sense at all

      jb looked for a line partner for bo for a large part of the season

      and found pearson

      and they play well together

      why trade him and force a new search for a line mate for bo

      bo deserves a quality line mate

    4. Grape

      No one's saying to trade Pearson or anybody for that matter. We're just stating everybody's value.

  8. Does anyone know when and how tickets to the draft become available?

      I'm for moving down tbh, picking in the 10-30 pick range is a crapshoot anyway. At that point it's about tiers and where which team has which players.

  12. Proud of the guys. Sad their season is over but man do I like the new culture. 

    1. Curmudgeon

      Curmudgeon

      Assuming the next season begins on Wednesday, October 9, there are 186 days until the puck drops. To put that in perspective, 186 days is the number of days in a year that school is actually in session in most BC school districts. That means that some CDCers have time to start AND finish Grade 5 by then.

      why does he need to "weave"? he creates space by forcing the d back when he carries the puck in, and he's a big body that has to be covered. I don't think you're giving Jakes current size and speed enough credit. Anyway just my 2 cents :P Green hasn't texted me yet for my opinion. 

    3. canuckistani

      canuckistani

      every player who creates space and spends extensive time in the offensive zone has to weave to create space. Its like virtanen is an interceptor but not a air superiority fighter- not yet- and we need air superiority fighters to spend extensive time in the enemy territory.

      Fortunately the Sabres only have one more season of Vladimir Sobotka left at 3.5.  I'm hoping Botterill can trade him for a half bag of pucks this off-season.

      I bet if we traded him to Ottawa he would start producing.

      I would give Green and Baum another year. Brown needs to go. 

       

      Green needs to to make some changes though, team never coming to play in the 1st is on him. Quit switching the lines around every 10 &^@#ing minutes. 

       

      Baum hasn’t had much to work with to be fair. 

       

      JB needs to stop signing veterans as well lol. Just stick to drafting.

  19. Craig Simpson or a rusty ice pick in your ear? I can't decide.

      How is telemarking? Is it hard to do? You have to master two types of skiing?

      its very hard on alpine/Whistler type terrain, this video is doing a similar style on pure nordic skis which is a hoot, just have to watch the knees. 

       

      Its fun thing to add to nordic skiing at places like Cypress. If you can handle the black runs at Cypress you can learn to add this in as long as you're willing to face plant a few times :P

      As well, I’d wager a good chance a chunk of these “fans” were chanting “Fire Gillis” that set the wheels in motion for his dismissal and the hiring of Benning.
