      weird how that happens. Its like Sutter with us. 

       

      Sure seems like there could be several trade possibilities btw Vancouver and CBJ. I don't think there's going to be a Laine offer sheet but I guess you never know.

      I wouldn't be surprised if Buff just straight up retires and they get bridge deals done for both. I don't see how that'd help them though. Their defense has been pretty decimated and they'll likely need to trade one of their pending guys for defensive help.

       

      Moving Laine is a tough pill to swallow though because of what he's done thus far at his age. 

    4. JM_

      JM_

      Im suspicious of this Buff 'holdout'. I think he'll sit and recover from last years ankle problems just long enough to clear enough accumulated cap to sign Connor and Laine to bridge deals.

      eh?  Habsfans boo’d/jeered a legit HHOFer that pretty much carried their team to a cup win (Roy).

       

      Fans by definition aren’t going to be rational at times.

       

      Exhibit A.......***points at himself (Newbie)***

       

      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.

      The west is about as bad as it gets. In the East, we'd be pretty far out of a spot.

    3. Rob_Zepp

      Rob_Zepp

      Parity is alive and well in a CAP NHL.    The bigger spread in the East masks some seriously close games.   No team is running away and putting their name on the Cup this year.   Any one of 20 teams could do it given a decent bit of health luck, hot goaltending and some timely scoring.   Even a team like Oilers, Coyotes, Canucks or Blues could take on a Calgary or Nashville and beat them in first round.

    4. JM_

      JM_

      @Rob_Zepp it would be a long shot, but its certainly possible if the team depth is there.

      Petey has great offensive and defensive instincts with the only areas that need a lot of improvement being getting the puck out of our zone (like Boeser and other young players) and face-offs.... In 2-3 years we will have one of the best centres in the league! Potentially the best centre depth lineup as well... Petey, Horvat, Gaudette, Beagle, Madden.

      28 primary points is something good to have in a season, let alone to this point. Its not really fair to compare him to Dahlin, thats just there for the calder comparison, the really key one is Hischier. I think when the season is over there will be no doubt EP should have gone 1st oa.

    No big name D moved pre-expansion... makes a Dallas deal for Tanev even more likely imo.

    2. JM_

      JM_

      thats true joe, but we can pick up a solid veteran D in free agency to help with that. If Dallas wants Tanev as much as rumoured then the Canucks being able to pick 3rd and 5th this year is a huge step in the rebuild, much more than keeping Tanev and finishing say 25th instead of 28th in the standings. 

    3. Alflives

      Alflives

      If Tanev gets us #3 JB will do that.  I'm wondering if there are other teams bidding for Tanev's service?  At what point does is the return not enough?  Would we take 8 from Buffalo?

      I like it too....we didn't have to wait to get the celebration started.  Home, to revel in their magnificence, then off on the road to seal the deal.

       

      I have the great pleasure of seeing BOTH of these final games and it's such a treat to be able to acknowledge them in person.  To be part of the roar that sends them off to a well deserved family life....

      thats great Deb :)  I had no idea when I got the tickets for last night that it would be special, I was just looking for a couple of cheapies for one more game ($31 bucks each if you can believe it two weeks ago).

       

      For two guys that actually want to play it out hard and try to win it just seems right to me, and also that they get to enjoy it for themselves for the last one. For all the undeserved crap they've taken I guess I like to see them get a little something too.

    Our local media is too hard on the team. And they blame "the fans" but they pick the stories. I'm tired of the fan blame that goes on when its groups like 1040 that are generating all the attention on the the negativity.

      it gets out of proportion when the media takes say the 10% of really negative feelings and projects that to be the entire 'fan base'. thats what bugs me. 

    3. PhillipBlunt

      PhillipBlunt

      Not only are the local media (1040 especially) negative and self-serving, but they are gutless for deflecting blame onto the fans. Time for people to straight up ignore 1040, the Provies, anything Ed Willes writes, and Jeff Patterson in general. In the same breath, people should see Freidman for the same type of clown as the rest of these fools.

      Jim brought a knife to a gun fight. He doesn't have a lot to work with this year, if he is able to move Vanek I'll be surprised, but I won't be if the noon press conference tomorrow is him telling us that he didn't get a single real offer. 

    3. Coconuts

      Coconuts

      I won't be surprised either, seems like there are more teams looking to move pieces this year and more teams seem to feel like they're out of it at this point in the season. We've got some moveable pieces but there are better pieces available.

    4. King Heffy

      King Heffy

      Vanek's the kind of guy that gets moved in the last hour as a consolation prize for a team that missed out on their real target.  The rest of our guys either have little to no trade value, or have enough term that we can move them at another point if the return is right.

       

      Glad Benning got his extension before the deadline so he doesn't feel pressured into making a bad trade.

      well, I do think Evander Kane is a good option for them, but Buffalo is probably looking for a 6 piece haul like Colorado got for Duchene :lol: High quality D isn't going to be cheap either. But what choice do they have? The playoffs are going to be out of reach in 2 weeks at this rate.
