    Anyone want to argue vaccines don't have an effect?

     

    I'm taking this with a grain of salt.

     

    Why should we believe anything coming out of China? I'm being serious here

     

    2.5 years ago there were videos of people dying in the streets like this was the plague. This isn't the plague.

     

    Call me skeptical

    All true, but people die (or are in hospital) who have secondary illness and we don’t record their death as because if that secondary illness or they aren’t registered in hospital because of their secondary illness.  The government used to report more accurate figures.  How about reporting the number of idiots who are in hospital with Covid who aren’t vaccinated?  I’m thinking the people who are in hospital because of Covid are mostly not vaccinated.  And the people who are in hospital for other reason, but while their test positive for Covid (so they’re not sick) are vaccinated.  

    Well, we all know the fear mongering still exists.

     

    Moving on from this silliness has been a long time coming

    Hot take:

     

    Petey will NOT be a Canuck after his contract is up

     

    He's been on a steady decline since his rookie campaign and it's due to various reasons:

     

    -He's become predictable. The whole league knows how to deal with him now

    -He's weak AF. Honestly, what kind of training regime does this kid have?

     

    I've seen some Petey for Eichel talk out there. If Eichel could get the surgery and get back to his old self, I'd make that deal in a heartbeat.

     

    I've enjoyed the Petey ride but I hate to say it, but I think the honeymoon is over

    In a perfect world this guy gets suspended for the duration of his contract

     

    What an absolutely horrendous player, and at a cheap rate of only 6 million a year!

     

    Thanks again Jimbo.

     

    PS. Positions aside, I'd rather have Loui in the lineup than this guy

    My latest back from Beckett:

    Awesome card!

     

    How much does it cost to get the Beckett grading and how does it work? You mail them the card and how do you put in payment? Sorry for all the questions!

    Do Canuck fans think Benning is a great GM?

    He's absolutely awful. I cannot understand how any of you don't see this

     

    His trades overall have been mediocre. "But but Miller!" OK, that obviously worked out, but I mean we still lost a 1st rounder. It's not like we fleeced Tampa. In fact, some would argue Tampa won that trade considering they shipped off a guy that wasn't contributing

     

    His signings have been TERRIBLE. It's not even an argument. His signings might just be the worst in the entire league (Sutter, Beagle, Roussel, Myers, Loui, etc. etc)

     

    The one and only area where you can say he's done a decent job is drafting. I'll give him Petey and I'll give him Boeser. I am not giving him Hughes as he fell into Benning's lap. I also look at the roster and see who is currently contributing at a high rate and I barely see Benning's draft picks make any kind of real difference aside from the 3 I mentioned here. I give his drafting a B overall

     

    I'm sorry, but when you're mediocre at most facets of your job, you're not good at your job. Oh how I wish we had Yzerman

    If Demko stands on his head and wins us the next two games, would that be enough to completely write off Markstrom?

    I'd argue the one game is enough

     

    Consider the alternative:

     

    We sign Markstrom to an inflated contract (goalies are wildcards unless your name is Carey Price)

     

    If this happens, we can pretty much say adios to a young, relatively cheap, stud of a goalie (Demko) to the expansion draft. This also means we'll have cap issues due to paying (over-paying) Markstrom

     

    You don't sign Markstrom, you get to keep Demko, save money, and still have a very capable goalie while also having some cap room to address other needs (D and bottom 6)
