  1. Ha! Everyone here except you Mr LE’s cousin thinks he is one of the worst signings in Canuck history.
  2. 100% the very worst. This is 6 years of floating versus 3 years of floating for Messier.
  3. I suppose your right about there being an AHL. He would be foolish to retire when he could be sitting at home and do nothing. However, is there a mechanism that we could force him to play like in the KHL? Lol. Send him to Siberia!
  4. I’m quite sure other players looking to land here are not going to look at it that way. It’s no secret that LE is not a good player anymore and that he has been given more than his fair share of opportunities.
  5. This contract has become a cancer to the team for too long. From the moment he arrived and scored on his own team, it’s been nothing but down hill. It annoys me that TT would have remained if we didn’t have LE. It’s obvious no one wants this guy and JB is not willing to throw away futures to get rid of him. A buyout doesn’t help much so we are stuck with this disaster. Do you think he will retire if he rode the bus Utica? Does LE have any pride? No more posh amenities? It is time to play hardball on this guy.
  6. Vegas ought to be fined and lose a 1st (I just don’t want that first going to the Blues!).
  7. Is there anything preventing both sides to negotiate a new deal in the meantime or do they have to go through this process?
  8. I’ll take your word for it. Not bad for a 3rd then. OEL was gonna cost us dearly and cap wise as well for longer term.
  9. Is he as good as OEL? I had such a hate on for all those Vegas players, didn’t really pay attention to how good they were.
  10. I don’t know much about this guy. I looked at his point production stats and not overly impressed for 6M per year. Can anyone tell me more about him?
  11. And I will tell you that if he wasn't playing hurt, we would have beat Vegas. Stop undervaluing TT.
  12. Nah I’m sorry. That is not a good enough excuse for not signing him. 4 years is not long for his age. He is in his prime.
  13. He signed at a steal for a solid top 6 young player. He gelled well here. He wanted to be here. I don’t get why you are undervaluing him so much....
  14. Who ever lands this guy, it will be a lopsided deal. Vegas is desperate to shed cap. I wish all the teams were able collude and no one helps them.
  15. Wouldn’t shock me if JB is fired in next couple days.
  16. Those guys can always be bridged. I hate hearing this excuse. By the end of those bridges, we will have tons of cap room for their big pay days.
  17. Brandon freaking Sutter will make more money than TT. TT wanted to be here and was willing to sign for less and with no NTC/NMC. You can’t expect him to sign for 2 years. That’s ridiculous.
  18. At such a low hit? Given his age and abilities, that wasn’t really a risk. Something is off here.
  19. Hearing on 1040 that there is no NTC or NMC. So Toffoli said he wanted to stay, gave JB lots of time to figure it out and ended up signing elsewhere for less than his previous contract. I guess that 10 points in 10 games wasn’t worth that eh Jim?
  20. He was ranked 4th in NHL voting this last season and many thought he was robbed of the nomination. He was truly our MVP. Did you watch any games last season?
  21. It’s not but with each passing day all teams are filling out their rosters and only scraps are being left over or discarded. The hand me downs might be of good value but it’s still Value Village. We had great players we lost. Key pieces the team and fans adored. I’m just obviously very upset right now and hope your right that there is something good that may come upon us....
