Can't stand on your own, without your buddies egging you on - lol. What a predictable and boring response cause you obviously don't understand what a comment or an opinion is ? Also, nice fuzzy logic to try and save your fragile ego - lol. You took this whole thing in the gutter and you only have yourself to blame, for that ridiculous & sarcastic post/response (see below). It is also obvious by now, that you have no issues, when it comes to making things up and lying. Don't change and keep doubling down. I can almost predict what is coming next: crickets or more personal attacks cause you have nothing else. I also don't need a big word to describe a lying child. I had reposted your post numerous times and you didn't mention any 1st round pick - lol. Plus Hronek is STILL not a 50+ point defenceman - until he achieves it. A 50+ point RHD who averages over 22 minutes a game and a 4th round pick for a 2nd?

Still have nothing, continuing to double down on your mess and let me remind you of your RIDICULOUS post cause it was you that had discounted the 1st round pick - lying child ? A 50+ point RHD who averages over 22 minutes a game and a 4th round pick for a 2nd? Lol and still triggered after getting stonewalled - how about Hronek being a 50+ point defenceman ? Also, the 1st round pick is with Detroit - lol.

You guys buddies cause I had noticed that you guys had been going back & forth with emojis ? Can't stand up for himself ? Not really surprising and it only makes your pal seemed, like a child/a fool (to use your words). Anyways, your buddy took this in the gutter cause he got stone walled with facts, got triggered and started lying to gain the moral high ground. What a ridiculous post (see below) and I responded in kind, with facts & a similar sarcastic tone. A 50+ point RHD who averages over 22 minutes a game and a 4th round pick for a 2nd? Below is my full response to Lock, that got your buddy triggered and not redacted -unlike, how your buddy likes it. "Now that you had fully explained your position on the trade - I meant no offense. I also don't mind if someone disagrees cause I would hate for this forum to become an echo chamber. I get where you are coming from and I REALLY hope Hronek becomes a solid 2nd pairing D, even after he signs his retirement deal. But I would still argue it was an overpayment; perhaps, if the 1st round pick wasn't included, the trade would not had garnered too much criticism. Cheers" Just like you: when you post your opinions about certain topics (and I've read your opinions), I made mine about the trade - where was I wrong, on a personal opinion vs the unfactual & sarcastic post your buddy made ? Perhaps, look at the discussion thread, before taking your buddies side and making any snarky comment about "e-flex"ing.

As a fan, hope you are right about OEL cause he will be expensive to move or buy out..

Still not a 50+ point defenceman !

Post the whole post at once, instead of redacting my post to fit your fuzzy logic narrative - LIAR ! Lay it all out, unless you are hiding something - LIAR ! All you have are YOUR word vs facts.

Don't think it was a silly question. Let me rephrase: when a significant injury happens, how would they mitigate the injury cause good chance, the cap issue isn't going away, in the foreseeable future ?

Well said and that is what Yzerman, is doing in Detroit after his successful tenure, in Tampa

I stoned walled that child and got triggered, so that child is now trying to twist the facts with his fuzzy logic. Anyways, good points and cheers.

Does the quality of the replacement matter ?

A 50+ point RHD who averages over 22 minutes a game and a 4th round pick for a 2nd? Above is your post and just sticking with facts: - Hronek is not a 50+ point NHL defenceman - a first round pick was also included to acquire Hronek Nice try trying to get the moral high ground by twisting the facts, after getting stone walled - got triggered . You OBVIOUSLY have nothing else - but sarcastic insults and with your childish words, you are only projecting your immaturity by openly lying. Dealt with you before and I can almost predict what is next: crickets or more lies & insults. Bring it on CHILD !

We had seen EP and Hronek is still an unknown commodity, in this line up. After the Schmidt and OEL, failed experiments, I've learned to wait & see if the player will click. Hroneks' best years was last year with 38 points and this year he has 18 games left, to make a NEW career high. Yzerman knew what he was doing with Hronek but as a fan, I hope Allvin made a good deal ?

I get it. I hope this breaks the string of bad luck and that is why, a deal this type would had probably been better next season vs overpaying for it in the TDL. Anyways, nothing new and cheers

The poster made a sarcastic post and it deserves an equally shallow response - imo. Also, EP has proven he is more than capable and worth the big payday and comparing a defenceman who's best year is 38 points, is not the same. I get it cause it is fun to project or just to prove a point and it was the same type responses, when OEL was acquired: the projections based on how he was a Norris candidate during his contract year and how Vancouver will greatly benefit from his addition - lol. As a fan, I hope he becomes a solid Canucks, even after he signs his retirement deal - but cautiously optimistic.

Yeah, next three seasons will be the highest at 4.7xx per year. Allvin keeps saying the word "accountability" and I wonder what he really means. Hopefully, being reunited with the coach that was benching him in Arizona (Tocchet), will have a different outcome.

It will extend his stay on the books for 8yrs and it will cost, one of the genius that made this trade happen: 2.4xx per year till 2030-31. The actual cap hit per year varies but the avg amount is 2.5xx per year for 8 years, if the Canucks decide to buy him out this June. Plausible but I prefer they find a taker this offseason - but it will cost assets and money retention for 4yrs, to clean up this mess

Buying him out will only extend his stay on the books and Wolanin is a good find based on his salary - but he only signed a 1yr deal. Preferably, they trade him with the maximum allowed salary retention for 4yrs, instead of 4+. Plus, only 2/3 years after the trade and we are already seeing why Tocchet was benching him in Arizona.

TANKS JB AND FRANCESCO for this mess. Four more years, of LE 2.0 but the potential drama between OEL & Tocchet & friends, might make next season very interesting.

For now, he still has 38 pts and the cost to acquire Hronek, did include a 1st round pick. As a longtime Canuck fan, I REALLY want him to do well (even after he signs his retirement deal, after next season) but I am cautiously optimistic and I believe games are not played on paper cause no guarantee he will click with the team or not be oft injured: remember Schmidt or how about OEL, Dermot & Poolman ? Like I said, nothing new from posters like you and it is not just me, that has this opinion of the trade. Your are just playing word games to defend your post: "A 50+ point RHD who averages over 22 minutes a game and a 4th round pick for a 2nd?" If what you had posted had happened, we won't be having this discussion - but Yzerman OBVIOUSLY sold high on Hronek, for more lottery tickets in a deep draft & the more important cap flexibility. Plus, based on your own projection: this will be his best year.

Still not a 50+ point player until he does it.

3-2 nucks Kuz

What happens when a significant injury happens ?

The rest of the schedule plus Demko - pretty much kills a top 5 pick, in ANOTHER LOSING SEASON. Anyways, nothing new - ANOTHER LATE SEASON WEENING STREAK TO THE MEDIOCRE MIDDLE

Not just my opinion and those stats are with the Redwings, let's see if he clicks - remember Schmidt ? What happened to the 1st round pick that also went to the Redwings ? I was getting these types of response from posters like you when OEL was just acquired or when Myers was signed - so nothing new. Lol lol Making up stats, as well ? Cause I don't see a 50+ point season, in the NHL. Too funny !

Good points but the quality of opponent should be considered when looking at the wins. Tonight, Anaheim will take the loss cause that has more value, for what they want to get out of this season.
