  1. I cannot believe anyone, would be as inept as JB - but Allvin is starting to look like, an even worst choice.
  2. Yup and Allvin is Dubas lite. No wonder, Pittsburgh fired him after two weeks as GM for a more competent Hextall. Atleast, Hextall would had kept his picks and prospects
  3. Allvin is double down with the mess and any picks ? It seems Allvins computer, confirmed this was a good trade. More retooling
  4. Allvin - pls trade for this guy and double down on the mess
  5. Meh, on Bergevin but Gorton is the one that got away but Aquaman would never considered him cause he also would never allow Aquaman to put that leash on him and Allvin - maybe cause of his short term deal vs what Gorton/Yzerman got: a commitment from their respective owners, to do a proper rebuild.
  6. Allvin should do whatever it takes, to double down on the retool.
  7. Obviously, cause he will not let Francesco put a leash on him. Plus, who would you prefer ?
  8. Ah, very clever logic ! Hopefully, Chi will be competing for the Purgatory Cup and the Canucks for Bedard - but Chi is intentionally tanking hard. Good chance, a reverse scenario will happen cause of Francesco - hope not.
  9. I get it - but who is the trade partner ? I agree, with your last paragraph but both JR & Allvin are signed to short term contracts and right now, it seems Francesco, is holding a contract above their heads (mainly, Allvin cause JR can just retire). Perhaps, when apathy has taken hold, Francesco will start seeing things more clearly, otherwise, the same playoff chasing strategy continues which should only entrenched the teams position, in NHL Purgatory...
  10. Stillman for Dickenson, a 2nd and a 3rd Plus, 5pts in 4 games. It seems JB, still in charge - just kidding !

    Walker & Shaw left for two rigid coaches named: Yeo & Cull. So the roster, is still mostly intact but coaching staff did incur some significant changes. Projections aside, the team did lose some important games against teams, that are fast & pressuring, late in the season which ruined the playoff dream and cemented their spot in NHL Purgatory. Plus, where is the depth for injuries and the cap flexibility to improve are some of the BIG reasons, for their current struggles...
  12. The asst coaches are perfect: rigid and clueless or Green x 3
  13. There is no cap flexibility, on the team to make any REAL changes..
  14. The Francesco and JB regime, were so bad - the new FO, hasn't even began to clean up their mess and make new one's.
  15. The team has been the doing the playoff chase strategy, for awhile now and it has led to the team being stuck in NHL Purgatory. There is always a cost and with the Canucks the cost was homegrown depth or drafting & development and cap space. If they continue with this strategy, a Cup will never come cause their is no depth to contend. Ofcourse, you can argue JB was incompetent but look at JR (someone with a resume), even his hands are tied and he is mentioning the word rebuild. If your ok with a team, NHL Purgatory then the playoff chase strategy is best - imo. Honest question: how well do you think, a team that has $13 million tied up, to a top pairing of Myers & OEL will do in the playoffs ?
  16. JR only signed a 3yr deal, so it might be someone else, if Aquaman allows it. I remember the day, when Lemieux (part/majority owner) had a presser to sell the rebuild that would transition, the Penguins from him to whomever (Crosby) and it was obvious, they were targeting the Crosby draft. As a longtimer, it would mean alot, if Francesco did something similar - but I am not holding my breathe
