  1. Yeah, I was also waiting for a TT signing and the Holtby signing was a downer.
  2. Yeah, that Holtby signing, to supposedly shelter an unproven goalie was too much of an overpayment and a year too long. I agree, that Demko, seemed ready & just needed time in net.
  3. Good point - that Tavares signing (probably) sent the message to there young core that market value is what they should go after; I guess, Dubas taught he can draft well enough to fill there roster ?
  4. Yeah, different philosophy of rebuilding or a different approach in asset management in a losing season.
  5. I get it; just coming from the POV of looking at other past champs rebuild.
  6. Are you his agent ?! All kidding, aside that first game vs the Sharks, seems to had been a good experience for him cause it atleast, gave him an idea of what he will face in the NHL and what he needs to work on to get there.
  7. Yeah, other than Clarke, KJ is the player I hope JB drafts but I will refer to JB on this one (hope we keep the pick).
  8. Kent Johnson, Mactavish or Sillinger, would be a good add.
  9. Not praising Dubas, just commenting on Lou and his time with the Laffs. As a Nucks fan, I think the Laffs are perfectly fine.
  10. Not saying anything about his tenure, just commenting that having a very assertive Dubas and Lou sharing the decision making process is not a workable solution for them and Lou recognized this. Shanahan seems to had staked his reputation with the younger Dubas
  11. Imo, Mackinnons’ deal will be like Crosby’s deals: high value contract but with a yr/two added on to decrease the yearly cap cost. JB & his team (with Aquamans support) will have to sell the future to the EP & QH for them to take deal that works for both .
  12. No chance, Lou stays there with an very assertive Dubas wanting to prove himself - I guess, he is learning the double edge sword of leadership: you take all the credit as well as the blame.
  13. X factor will be the staff cause his deployment & usage will depend on them - hope he does an EP by earning his spot from day one and doesn’t, even give the staff a chance to sit him.
  14. Yeah, I wonder which of AGM or who is in charge of this department ?
  15. Yeah, the Pittsburgh model - different draft rules (though) but same idea.
  16. It will always be a retool (ever since JB got here) cause a rebuild (to me) is what the California teams are currently doing (or Colorado did) fight for a top 3 pick in a losing season
  17. Yeah, a top 3 will only come our if we win the lottery (due to a miracle) cause a top 3 pick has the stigma of accepting a losing culture in this market. KJ would be a good add but all the prospects you listed are good as well.
  18. Good points - lottery is done and the offseason is just getting started.
  19. This context matters and only because of JBs’ drafting - does both teams, seems to have similar pieces but the methodology is very different. Imo, Colorado is one of the teams that tanks all the way in a losing season: plays & showcases the future; whearas, the Canucks are constantly retooling cause there is no appetite for a tanking team in this market - just look at the discussions in this forum about the importance of the loser points against Calgary: winning culture !
  20. One more year under Baumers system - takes time to learned such a complex system.
  21. Taught this was a conspiracy theory debunked by JB and other (learned) posters - now there is a thread about this ?
  22. I get it but the last paragraph I agree with - time to move on from (an older) Edler but he gets resigned for nostalgic reasons cause (imo) he looked slow and his point shot is not a threat (if it even gets through). Given that the season was an uphill battle from the start, it would had been prudent (long termed) to had showcased & played the future, to see where they stacked up in next years roster or what there real value is - seasons over, just hoping for a good year next season but not so confident with Greens track record - even if a McD type player is acquired.
