  1. Why sign an albatross contract (?); instead he could had gambled on himself and waited till free agency. If JB does this deal: that contract is not going to age well - Suter deal as one example and many more. Imo, it should be Arizona including assets to rid themselves of that bad decision and JB would be a fool to be paying them (any) assets & cap relief from that contract. He is a good d but nothing special and is perhaps starting his regression as most players that signs a retirement type contract tends to do. The team has OJ & other (unknown) lottery tickets that Shaw can build up and there is no guarantee he will even perform in Greens system; also the carrot of a big contract is gone. I taught this rumour of him to the Canucks was dead - it seems Arizona is desperate to create a market.
  2. Yeah; but they probably needs to get there two top 3 picks going first: Kakko and Lafrrenier (before there ELC runs out). Probably, he is staying in Russia or Seattle/mystery team makes a run at him - perhaps karma just coming back for the Suter & Parise signings; if he gets poach
  3. Some fans wants that top 3 pick (but has no appetite for tanking) and his draft pedigree is the only thing giving NP the (high) value cause at this point he is damaged goods (as stated by a poster).
  4. Good take, I've been all over the world and all this shenanigans are nothing new. Hope the game doesn't suffer: in the longterm for short term profits ?
  5. Hmm, the rest of my post are missing ? Anyways, Price and luck played alot in them winning this game; can they keep it going ?
  6. Perhaps: this is Bergevin & the Habs year cause Bergevin has been golden with most/all of his decisions ever since he made that Bogey with the Sergaychev trade; and if Price keeps this up (with some luck), we might see a Canadian team in the finals for the first time since the Nucks in 2011. Also, the last Canadian team to win the cup was 93 Habs led by a goalie named - Patrick Roy - team of destiny.
  7. Perry with Staal was a good signing for (potentially) this years GM of the year. Hope JB can find these ex first line players to complement the young core - enough of the overpaid (great intangibles) bottom 6 sheltering type players. Laffs doing the same type of signings with Spezza & Thornton
  8. Logically it is the right move (for now) but it seems the owners and/or vocal fanbase have no appetite for a rebuild; hoping, JB will not make the same mistakes with this aggressive off season.
  9. With hindsight, I wonder if the investments they made with Suter & Parise was worth it ?
  10. Yeah, MInny (current) GM will be twice shy when signing Russians.
  11. Probably give him a few more years to earn that dough/reputation - but some GM will fall in love with the idea regardless of the player; thus, the LE contract.
  12. Perry and Staal signing paying dividends for the Habs Good low value but important pieces - wonder if Edler will do the same for the Canucks?
  13. Ditto, but the offseason is just about to begin - fingers crossed.
