  1. Next question: will Green know how to use the player or will he even use the player - don't want another, Nate Schmidt situation. If Iam JB, I would ask Green for a short list of players.
  2. Mainly, the staff cause JB has assembled a deep roster but a coaching change will ofcourse, depend on JB and when that happens will more than likely come from Aquaman
  3. Yeah, Sakic should be in jail for that trade cause that 1st round pick turned out to Byram.
  4. I get it but Sakic is one of shrewdest GM in the league, just like Yzerman. Imo, Mackinnon has been following the same model as Crosby: high valued contracts with an extra year or so to lower the cap hit.
  5. Imo, the hardest part of Sakics' job is how to keep all that talent together and still be cap compliant.
  6. Byram in Col ain't looking too bad - good trade by Sakic to get a first from an ever rebuilding Ottawa team in that Duchesne trade.
  7. About Myers: my MAIN criticism is based on his tendency to screw up on clearing attempts - especially, in the PK or when pressured cause it had cost the team a few goals against in the PK or 5v5; and last night there was a perfect example, during the Stars first goal in there PP cause of a weak attempt to ring it around the boards that cost the Canucks another goals against in the PK - even Cheech made a point to call it out. OEL has been playing lights out; and I've been KEENLY watching Myers in the PK or in 5v5 when exiting our zone; and this is a flaw in his game that I hope the staff had identified and will mitigate cause it has cost the team goals or even games. Perhaps before making a post, TRY OBSERVING IT FOR YOUR SELF cause after all, this is a discussion forum. Just wondering and as a fellow Canuck fan LIKE YOU, what is wrong in calling out and having a discussion about a noticeable flaw on Myers that is bothering you ?
  8. Myers with Tryamkin would be an interesting pairing. JB can skip talking to Tryamkin & his agent, rather start negotiating with his wife. IMO, Myers shouldn't be in the PK cause of his tendency to fail when clearing the puck.
  9. Yeah, tonight it all worked out but it is an area of concern - imo.
  10. Yeah, ChaseOn was totally invisible - which is a good thing..
  11. Glad for the win but there face off performance needs to get better.
  12. OEL is a LHD with Ham might be good; but good point on Myers & Burr being both right shot D's. Also, Hughes with Poolman looks solid for now. I would like to had seen OJ with Myers - seemed ok last year for a brief period but Green had made up his mind on OJ. All the best to OJ in Fla; and anybody noticed how well Forsling is playing regular minutes in Fla - would he had been a good third pairing LHD ?
  13. Off topic: Taught Cole Caufield would be lighting it up after last seasons playoff performance. I guess, it proves that the Habs run was just an avg team that got hot at the right time.
  14. How about a Myers and Burr third pairing and Ham goes with OEL as a first. Just don't trust Myers during crucial times of the game or in a PK role cause of his tendency to screw up when clearing the puck or exiting the zone when being pressured. I HAVE SEEN ENOUGH EXAMPLES OF HIM MAKING A WEAK CLEARING ATTEMPT OR COUGHING THE PUCK UP WHEN PRESSURED.
  15. Didn't mean for it to sound like that. My point: still one more period and this is looking like a shoot out.
  16. Ditto; but for tonight let's enjoy the lead and hopefully they or Demko closes this game out. Green still has a DEEP hole to contend with before he can breath easy.
  17. Might be better to put Lammi or a defensive forward - than a D who has issues clearing the zone.
  18. Thats what I taught but what was the infraction the Zebras' went with. Anyone motivated to go to the casino ?
