That's where most people go wrong with Kanye's talent. In truth, kanye's always been a mediocre lyricist. his true talent lies in beat making and executive production. On topic: Ovi's beating wayne. book it.

Loui cooling back down is a positive development. Had he continued to play decently, he may have thought that maybe he can still play in the league after this year. With him continuing to struggle, the potential of him making a prideful retirement at the end of this year because he realizes he is no longer up to NHL-par becomes more and more likely.

I'm pretty sure a Tryamkin contract cannot be submitted to the league before July 1st? I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure he can't play this season no matter what. I remember reading that somewhere.

Brock Boeser has a dying father and if you think that isnt effecting his performance you're probably wrong. Trading him right now would be very dumb imo. He will rebound. With that said, he definitely needs to work on his skating this off-season.

1. you're using the word troll wrong 2. business is all about risk management. the canucks took a very light risk ($900k, a truly inconsequential amount of money to an nhl budget) on a high reward project. if goldy learned to compete and play defense every shift, he would have been a hell of a player at $900k. this was a classic low riak-high reward play. you make that signing everytime.

even if he was on a two-way, his cap hit would be the same. as others have pointed out, because his cap hit is under $1m, it doesn't count against our cap while hes in the minors sooooooooooo you're wrong

LOL petey's out guess i'll hit the gym tonight after all

LOL bro he played NHL games, thats more than 99% of this board will do in their entire life

He was a ppg player in his draft year. it was a 29th overall pick... that's pretty much the kind of player you get in that slot. none of the forwards who were chosen after him had stats that were any better lol. except for maybe ty rattie, who currently plays in the khl.

I think some people take that year with a grain of salt because he was playing on more of a stacked team. He does have offense but it's not elite offense. I agree that woo will probably be more of a 40 point guy.

It's so tough to say. I dont know about you but I haven't seen him play since he's left, and my suspicion is that most of the people speculating about where he might fit/ who he might displace/ how much he'll be paid haven't either.

Who'd we let walk last year? Who'd we let walk the year before last year? Who'd we let walk the year before the year before last year?

I read that article. Definitely a couple red flags. For those who don't subscribe, basically whats playing out in Russia is the same thing that played out when he came to Van. He's unhappy with his ice time and usage and that's the main factor in wanting a return to the NHL. Not sure how he thinks he's going to get better ice time in a superior league, but that's literally what his agent said in the article. And for what it's worth, The Athletic puts out good content. Their subscriber model allows them to tailor content to the reader, rather than conforming to the will of their sponsors. It's far less click-baity and far more insightful imo.

You're disgusting and your take on this is bad. So are your takes on hockey so maybe I shouldnt be surprised. God, you're an idiot.

Loui Eriksson?????????

You did say that in your first post! haha You're right that EP is shooting more this year. He leads in goals, but also leads in assists. Like I said, might be 50/50.

He's definitely shooting more than he did last year. Idk. Might be 50/50 pass/shoot this year. I dont think I'd describe him as shoot first. I think at most he simply makes whatever the right play is in any given moment. That's the first time I've ever heard someone describe him as shoot-first though.

Not sure a lot of people would call petey a "shoot-first" player.

He's definitely above his ideal body fat % in that pic, and that's without even considering that he's a professional athlete. Average man wouldn't call him fat, sure, but the boy's puffy there.

True, that's not the reason for those statistics though.

It's not a matter of them getting hemmed in no less than other lines. That line has had horrible possession stats. I was a fan of that line at the beginning of the season but it's been noticeably bad the past several games, going back to the 7 game win streak. Schaller and Beagle have the worst +/- on the team. That line shares the bottom 3 spots for Corsi on the team out of anyone that's played more than 8 games this year. It's bad.

That line has been horrible the past 5 games. Something's gotta give. They get hemmed in their zone multiple times a game. Sutter's ability to get out of his own zone would be a welcome addition on that line imo.

The one thing I can't stand is how we play like we're on a PK in our own end when it's 5 on 5. ffs go after somebody. I've never seen a team play 5 on 5 defense the way our team does.

His systems need work but he's bringing this team along. I'm hoping his systems grow with the team just as AV's did, because he checks all the other boxes as a coach imo.
