  1. Whether you agree with his point or not is irrelevant but I assume you would agree that this is political? Again my issue is whether or not he would be a fit with the Canucks, bearing in mind the Mark Donnelly thing.
  2. I’m assuming if you are interested you can do your own research and come to your own conclusions. You were pissed that this thread turned political and now you’re adding to it. I’m not here to convince you of anything. As I said earlier I just want the team does it’s due diligence first.
  3. I don’t care about his personal opinions until he gets very public and very loud about them. I care about how they effect the team. His views on Covid & restrictions diverge 180° from this team’s stance. If you want to know to know more about this it’s not hard to find but as you correctly pointed out this is not the thread for it. I raised the issue here because this is the thread about trying to acquire him. When you pick up a player who goes out of his way to let his political views known you get the whole package. And if you don’t like politics mixed in with your hockey this is something you’d want to know because you’re going to get a whole lot of it if we get him.
  4. What specifically, if you were Green, would you have done differently in the last ten games to lose a couple more meaningless games? It seems to me that with the roster that was dressed they had a pretty legitimate shot to lose those games. It just didn’t happen.
  5. From everything I read on his, Caleb’s, & the mom’s Twitter accounts I don’t get the impression they are a family willing to be “managed.” In any case I’ll leave it at that as I was only offering my opinion and don’t want to turn it into some sort of personal attack on my part.
  6. I just spent 20 minutes on the CBJ Reddit and the feeling is the polar opposite of this thread, strictly hockey related. Maybe it’s just because they’re hurt he wants out but most felt he wasn’t a true #1 this year and he was going to be badly overpaid on his next contract. Between the price to acquire him, his contract demands, and the baggage he brings, he is off the list of players I’d be looking at. I don’t see a “Covid is a hoax” guy fitting in with this team. How’d that work out for Mark Donnelly? On a side note, similar to Coho where you got him and his dad, with Jones you get him and his mom. She seems to be VERY loud and active on her Instagram & Twitter accounts on a wide range of topics. She, Seth and Caleb all retweet the same things.
  7. I don’t think it did. Capfriendly still shows him with a modified no trade contract and if I remember correctly JB said after the trade deadline that one team enquired about him, so JB asked Schmidt if he was interested. Schmidt said he wasn’t and that was the end of it. Don’t quote me on that last part though.
  8. It looks to me like it will be $925,000 All NHL entry level contracts are age based and all are automatically “two-way” contracts. Players younger than 25 years of age as of September 15th of their first NHL contract must sign an ELC which have set limitations. Definitions are as follows: Two-Way Contract – the players salary is dependent on the league in which the player is assigned to play. The entry level NHL maximum salary is $925,000 and AHL maximum salary is $70,000
  9. That’s why I recommended the club does it’s due diligence. If the other players don’t care then neither do I. If they do care then he’s not a good fit.
  10. Fair enough but my concern wouldn’t be what you or I think, it’s how his teammates would feel about him.
  11. No question that Seth Jones is pretty much exactly the kind of talent that the Canucks need for RD but I hope the club does it’s due diligence in finding out what personality they’d be bringing into the locker room. His Twitter account is very far right politically. He retweets a lot of Don Trump jr and pro-Trump views and is anti-lockdown, anti-Covid restrictions etc. I’m not sure he fits in with a team that was ravaged by Covid. I have no idea if it’s true but there are also rumours that he was one of the reasons PLD wanted out.
  12. Am I reading too much into this or is Ron MacLean going out of his way to play the straight man tonight, no pun intended?
  13. As a Habs fan if you managed to score tickets to this game what would it take for you sell them to a Leafs fan? It’s a little disappointing to see a few Leafs jerseys.
