Yeah, even Marchand was baffled with the non response - moving on. Overall, they were great Canucks and hope they make the management portion better; and I don't really blame Aquaman for making this move but my only concern is: will they be willing to stand up for what they believe is the right move (like Linden, based on the rumours) or ..... - this offseasons' move(s) will say alot cause we already know of JB'S tendencies when FA opens. Excited they’re part of the team but skeptical; and I really hope they do (very) well. Management and staff adjustment(s) seems to be done and the roster tweaking(s) is about to start - fingers crossed.

Yeah, give them a shot and all the best to them - GCG !

That list looks like a bunch of free loaders - taught some of those players are long gone: Hossa, Gaborik, Zetterberg (good to great players but getting paid for what; atleast Ferland has an excuse); and Kesler - I saw his promo for his Show and he looks fine (?). There is something wrong with this list - smh.
-
Yeah, very similar rumours when Sakic was trying to trade Barrie before he leaves for FA; until his time ran out and took a lesser valued deal with the Laffs. Imo, The Yotes will be paying a team to rid themselves of that disaster.

[Rumour] Tkachuk may want out of Calgary
ShawnAntoski replied to CanucksCountry's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Yeah, why pay in assets and cap - hard pass ! -
[Signing] Avalanche re-sign Jayson Megna
ShawnAntoski replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Yeah, one team’s expendable player is useful for another. He seems to fit the AV’s system and the coach see’s him as a useful part. -
Good take; old clique and the new guy. We will have to see how it goes, hopeful but skeptical as well.

Imo, Green played the players he trusted to pad his stats and the season still turned out to be a disaster; with hindsight giving these unknown lottery tickets a legit chance would had been the prudent decision cause it would had atleast answered where they might or not fit in next years roster. This coming season the biggest X factor (imo) is what Shaw can do with the roster. There are plenty of examples of players thriving once they get to a new team & there are also others were the result is predictable. The offseason is just about to start (fingers crossed) and I can’t wait for next season - GCG !

I get it and this is just my take in a losing season; whereas, Montreal was (legitimately) competing for a playoff spot. Iam not suggesting any trades just responding to EPs' post about Green tendency with deployment. Imo, JB see's something with Green and he is staking most of his tenureship with him; although, the short term extension and the addition of (a veteran) Shaw, probably means something ?
-
Under Green this is true but under a different staff - good chance, it will be different. Also, mainly talking about Rafferty and Bones basically showed he belongs in the NHL regardless of Green - imo.

[Discussion] NHL Sells Naming Right to Divisions
ShawnAntoski replied to BoKnows's topic in General Hockey Discussion
Bettmans and crew running out of ideas and the day of seeing advertisements on players jerseys are probably not too far away. -
I get it but Green was obviously coaching for a contract and he was not going to play an unknown over a trusted vet. Perhaps, if Cull was the coach or if the Canucks did a coaching change during the season the deployment would be very different; would like to had seen the roster with a different staff; hopefully Shaw can be a difference maker (?)
-
Looking at it from an overall career POV; and I did watch the (regressing) Edler. Preferably, the team should move on at this point or sign him to play in Abby to appease the nostalgic crowd
-
Yeah a slightly better Edler and way overpaid.
-
Probably have to do a lot more with the roster and coach.
-
Raff was not given any real shot to show what he can do by Green & friends; ofcourse, he is an older rookie and he was really anticipating getting some minutes but the staff didn't give him that in a losing season.
-
Yeah, a prospect can only learn so much from watching and the only way to really develope is to play - regardless of readiness.
-
So - Who Should The Canucks Take At The Number 9 Spot?
ShawnAntoski replied to Patel Bure's topic in Canucks Talk
Yeah, would rather see first what systems Shaw can put in place and see if the roster will buy in. Pass on Reinhart -
If JB is still looking into this disaster - him, the AGM's and pro scouts should be fired; OEL is not a game changing d man.
