  1. I also saw him, in the international (amateur) stage but he was an unproven NHL'er - is my point. Otherwise, no chance Pitsburgh trades him (one for one) for Stojanov
  2. Would prefer the Canucks to focus on the D core and next years draft. Pass on this player cause he will be looking for term
  3. My impression, is that he wasn't willing to take a (big) paycut and a lesser role with the Canucks. Anyways, I agree with some poster that it was time to move and give him a chance, to win somewhere else.
  4. Yeah, Pitsburgh had a need to protect Mario & frienda; and good chance, his draft pedigree played a big part, in that trade. Mike Penny: I haven't heard that name for a long time and I wonder if he is still in the game cause Delorme is still with the team ? Anyways, those years draft record were very comparable to Gillis imo.
  5. I get it and my point: they were all top 10 picks or both are top 5 picks, that didn't live up to there draft pedigree - just like OJ. I remember that day when I heard the trade for an unknown Naslund and LUCKILY, IT WORKED OUT...
  6. Typical, Sakic contract: high value contract with added years to bring down the yearly cap hit. Plus, he was a FA signing - will this be the one gamble where Sakic losses cause last year, was his contract & best year ?
  7. Juulsen - might still pan out ? Big IF and yeah, it was just like when Quinn drafted Stojanov at #7 or Sandlak at #4.
  8. I have no sympathy for this team and as a Canuck fan, I think they are doing well. I now understand why Detroit moved on, from Holland for there rebuild.
  9. Sign him cheap and sell high on him during the TDL
  10. Chicago doing what MTL is doing and good chance, making a strong push for a chance to draft Bedard Sign him cheap and trade him
  11. Schneider was trending up and Gillis only got one lottery ticket for a solid young asset, is my point. Good thing, Horvat panned out cause drafting a bust would had not been good.
  12. Trading those players you for the cap space would do much to improve the team....
  13. Yzerman is attempting a run a with his core to perhaps see where they are at... He chose Kasper over a consensus top 10, in Lekki - perhaps another Seider type pick ?
  14. Good chance, Allvin stays (far) away unless, he has a plan sign him & sell high in the TDL; and it seems JRs' main job is to keep Aquaman away from Allvin
  15. Lou and JR are are both HOFs' and I can see both of them PERHAPS laying the foundation for a potential deal. The rumoured trade seems very unlikely that Lou would give up, for Miller cause I do remember him giving Gillis the squeeze for Schneider - but lucky, for us Gillis hit a homerun with Horvat.
  16. Palat to the Canucks is a pipedream but fun to speculate
  17. After seeing, what happen in the TDL - I just (really) lowered my expectation(s) and the drafting of a consensus top 10 pick, at 15 can be considered a BIG win. Off topic: Iam really impress, with Gorton & Hughes with there quick transition to rebuilding and after, a year they are already further ahead than our ever retooling Canucks. As for the Miller drama, it is only a big deal (imo) cause the media shills keep bringing it up and after, yesterday's non resolution, it seems that it will take some time to unfold and that is the way it should be. Although, after watching what Chicago did - should the Canucks had just pulled the trigger on the Rags (rumoured) offer ? But the reasons for both are very different cause Chicago it seems, is making a play for Bedard, whilst, the Canucks are (once again) retooling. Preferably, I also hope they make a play for Bedard and do what Hughes did with MTL.
  18. Yeah, reading a few commenters that Anaheim & Minny did very well
  19. Would had preferred Kasper but Yzerman also liked him.
  20. A proud member of the ever rebuilding loser club - vomit inducing how Armstrong and his crew were prancing around in there high school suits
