  1. Not sure, JR would capitulate to Aquaman - but you might be right cause they had done it before with JM, TT & Tanev. Aquamans' merry go round of mediocrity...
  2. Good points; and perhaps, as a first time GM he might had wanted to make a splash with Miller. Hopefully, this situation will make him a better GM. As for Miller, worst case he walks and Allvin takes the cap space or he takes an underwhelming return. Either way, Millers' demand & age are just not compatible with the current state of the Canucks.
  3. At this point and due to the flat cap: good chance, Kadri PROBABLY signs a Klingberg type deal..
  4. Great signing by Calgary and welcome to the NHL purgatory club or cap hell.
  5. They won't cause he seems to be a part of McDavids' inner circle....
  6. 4th line players, at most should be earning 1 or 1.5 million per year.
  7. Ducks are not capped out with a young core, is my main point and good chance, they will be a competitive team sooner than the Canucks.
  8. Yeah, the Ducks were rebuilding, whilst, JB was retooling.
  9. A good GM, understands when to turn the page from acquiring assets on the top of the draft and when to make a run with the young core. So far, NJ is a medicore team with good pieces ..
  10. NJ is the ideal trade partner for the Canucks but Fitz seems to be a very patient GM, that knows the values of his player. Imo, he sold high on Smith for Marino. Slowly, he is building a solid young team but there goalie situation is the one area, that needs to get sorted out. Irregardless, on paper they seem ready to compete with alot of good piece, for next season but his overall record with that team is still mediocre - hence, the top 5 picks; and we had seen the game is played on the ice & not on paper. At this point, NJ is still a young team, that has not learned how to win...
  11. Is Hunt, MacFarlands' first signing as Avs GM. Probably, saw Buuroughs' tweet and signed him ...
  12. Flames moved quick with Tkachuk - but got no choice with JG cause they were considered a contender. Not a perfect return but they got to move on and prepare for next season.
  13. To answer OP: replace Ratman with someone that actually loves the game and its history.
  14. Yeah, both of Aquamans' past (rookie) GM's failed to deliver regardless, of there accomplishments cause (otherwise) Aquaman will still be the real defacto PoHO and either one of them will still be the GM.
  15. I get and I was also hoping they would spend some of there late round lottery ticket(s) on a RHD - instead of a goalie for this year's draft. Perhaps, interchange between a goalie one year and a RHD the next. Also, agree that Klingberg, is a pipedream cause otherwise, he stays in Dallas for cheap.
  16. It seems they are betting on players, playing there offsides to make it work. Good chance, the Canucks stay away - unless, he signs for cheap
  17. Yeah, I am tired of watching 4th liners that can do a lot of things well but struggle, in the face-off.
  18. Glad to see a solid but cheap 4th line - with a chance, for a homegrown talent to make the lineup..
  19. Perhaps playing against Marchand in practice or just seeing another player of similar stature have so much success has helped him figure a few things out...
  20. He will be a trade piece, as early as next year ....
