  1. I'm pretty sure I've said it before I also said that I felt Brock was as good as a UFA when his last deal ended because his QO$ was way too high this is not something I brought up today for the first time and I can guaran-damn-tee that I am not spending the rest of the day searching old posts to prove it are you suggesting that Brock is a future 1000 point 1300 game player?
  2. it was burke himself who had the quick exit he was the prez and GM when the deal went down
  3. I don't see how that makes sense. I guess if you build your team out of 30 + year olds with no prospects, sure but if your team is good enough to make a run and you can sell high a few players you should be able to keep it going, provided you don't sell all of your picks Demko was a second round pick, there were about 7-8 goalies picked in his draft, including Sorokin and Shesterkin adding pieces like that is what allows you to retool and keep your cap down for continued success
  4. the link doesn't say much other than Burke will testify Just going off memory I recall BUrke was not on team Aqua I'm just not sure why
  5. no, its way better to have the guys suit up against their old mate right away it would be the best selling point of the game especially today better than a regular tankathon b oth guys score a hat trick, get in a fight with each other and get injured
  6. I never really understood why Burkie was involved in that dispute was it because he was president?
  7. THAT WAS NUMBER ONE OR NUMBER TWO in those "hard decisions that they talked about its poor mans complex really like the guy who misses the bus because he stopped to pick up a penny Boeser is a guy that has been trending downward ever since his rookie season how would you have felt if he got traded for Mikheyev last season? It seems like a fair enough trade to me, but because it happened in Free agency, Alvinie got greedy and had to sign both Boeser was overpriced last season, last contract actually I thought he was lost the day he signed his last contract so you are going to lose Boeser because his hit is too high, sign Mik and be happy $2 M saved
  8. https://thehockeynews.com/news/canucks-owner-says-he-did-nothing-wrong-in-buying-franchise-despite-court-case-1 not too likely Brian Burke would be a choice besides there is only room for one B.B. in this town imagine how great the convos would be around here with BB as Prez, BB as coach and BB as player
  9. 1 we did trade a second as well as Dickie. Dickie for Stiller straight up would have been a win 2 we just played Chicago, the team involved and Dickie's current squad, = bump the thread
  10. also the way Tocchet is holding him when he passes to the tunnel looks like concern he might fall over, not shoulder
  11. well w could always hold through the deadline then lose him to FA that might not count as a win
  12. no worries its funny though, because that is what I think when people feel the need to insert "Why ARE YOU yelling" memes
  13. well I STAND CORRECTED I wonder if John William Kirton a nd Alfred Lord Tennyson got roundly and regularly criticized for yelling in print? btw I am a fan of Alf Lord Tennyson
  14. I thought of Bruce Budharow at work today
  15. I couldn't get rid of the caps, but I jazzed it as best I could I made it smaller , so they is yelling at a whisper
  16. that may be true, but the concept of CAPITALS BEING YELLING is pretty new age and millennial I find it funny that there is always one or two posts to point it out every time someone used CAPS it falls into the "I am offended by your CAPS, so I cannot understand your post" sometimes I post in caps by accident, and am just too lazy to fix it
  17. I would like them to do away with the lottery I am miffed that so many people accept it I have thought for a long time restricting teams ability to draft 1st more than once in a 5 year period would be more helpful in dissuading the tank If teams could not draft in the same spot (in the top 5) twice in a 5 year period, eventually tank teams would be moved into the 6-10 spots without negatively affecting the teams that are just bad but not awful
  18. There is a certain segment here that view their own definition of saintliness as next to godliness the irony is how often they refer to people as Scum etc they talk about honor and class, without know how to exhibit the same
  19. I also wonder about goals scored directly off of a face off win, which affects the #1 unit, likely Horvat/Petey /Schenn/ Hughes /Myers without stats evidence, but I recall some very fast goals, like 5-8 seconds, which will really hurt the top units #s
