  1. Canucks in Australia? https://www.smh.com.au/sport/all-but-a-lock-nhl-in-talks-to-bring-top-level-ice-hockey-to-australia-20230206-p5ci9b.html
  2. I hope not ugh, so close to the bottom feeders. Plus the 9am vancouver time against the wings ends the road trip. They will have adjusted to east coast time but still
  3. The captain answer is interesting, the press stuff is not something he really wants. I think he can be more of the on-ice leader.
  4. I'm not sure where I stand. I think one no-cap effect buyout each year is a good start. I don't like how the cap limits trades and the fact that released players still get full value on the cap but one reason I gave up watching the NBA was because entire teams were being swapped during the season and it became so hard to work out who played where. I think there could be a better player release compromise, maybe one per season doesn't count, then you count 50% of the next one for one year and then the full amount for the contract term after. I saw that the latest espn figures were abysmal so if the tv rights fall then owners are going to want the cap to freeze.
  5. The only way that contract helps is if it was on ltir. I don't wish any injury on him but maybe Don can have a chat.
  6. I'm kind of in love with her as a result. Her hand writing, alex wagner's hair and brains...of course my wife puts up with me so she wins.
  7. That's how you tank baby! (phil hartman as troy mcclure voice).
  8. It's ok, my monday is busier than i had thought so i won't have time to stalk twitter for updates etc. Leave it up
  9. Thanks, i always follow canucks.com but it seems to be incorrect, will do a quick adjust.
  10. your gdt thread now, fyi i had noted that i was going to do it in the sign-up thread but it's fine, busy monday anyway.
  11. It's ok, feel free to add these, those were the practice lineups, goalies are a guess.
  12. It was a little funny that Bo in the pacific-central post-game initially said if this is the last time i play with Pettersson. I don't think he's coming back anytime soon, but maybe one day.
  13. I remember one year watching it and seeing guys trying to go fast, this was 2004 so i think it was st louis whose legs were moving like crazy. Then Scott Niedermayer came out and looked like he was just out for a stroll but his smooth consistent pace was the fastest. Stuck with me about how smoother motion is way better than legs going a million miles.
  14. He needs a change of scenery. Dumba from the wild and maybe a 3rd would be fine and if dumba walks fine, cap savings.
  15. Ep could be the next forsberg or greater but even forsberg had sakic as captain. Schenn would be a good transitional captain but he's probably getting moved. Again highlights how none of our bottom 6 or blueline has that grit consistently. I'd favor a joshua/lazar/burroughs type who can deliver a hit and even fight but none of those are a lock to even hold down a roster spot. Hughes seem even quieter than EP so EP seems like the default option if they plan on moving schenn.
  16. I hope that raty can become a really good checking center - good for 25 goals, faceoffs and can hit and shut down others. That's what we need. Finns usually play physical, his size is good too and he'll add weight. Finnish mike fisher basically. Also want to be able to say "f your hattys, we got raty" one day
  17. i don't like the new beau, age, production and cap hit. Raty i'll reserve judgment. Hard nosed finns with decent size are the kind of two-way center we need. I was underwhelmed, i really think people don't want to deal with us right now. This is a deep draft, we could use this pick on a dman which are undervalued due to the forward talent. Maybe the isles will suck and we can get a high pick again next year. I'm underwhelmed as others have said, but def helps the tank. Fire sale on now
  18. Big tank wheels keep on turning and getting bigger. Pretty crappy return. At this rate in two years we'll be starting over and petey and hughes will want out. Only hope is lottery luck giving us Bedard.
