  1. Little Nickie and Dries, spot the difference what ever happened to the Pizza guy never a sniff did he spill some spaghetti on the boss or sumpin'?
  2. man o man o mother am I ever tired of this "slow walk " crapperola and that muzic sends shivvers down my pant leg
  3. Baumer will be fine I am a little worried about the duties of David Struch and David Struchalong
  4. getting a better draft pick and getting out of cap hell
  5. I once heard a wise man say: "We've won four in a row, but it doesn't mean, er , um , erm uuhm $&!# if we don't continue on this wave"
  6. to pass Vegas all Canuck fans need to hold hand and pray for Edmonton and Calgary to beat Vegas
  7. I said in an earlier post that the only way I see getting more for Brock is a sign and trade but I don't see a 19 goal scorer being worth what you are suggesting and with his high QO, he holds the cards He could, ( as Ibach has suggested for months, or maybe it was Awalk) take less But he can also choose to walk and there is nothing short of offering him $7.5 the Canucks can do about it so how do you say "They will not just let him walk... no way" what have you got to back that up?
  8. that was awesome I remember it from back in the day but enjoyed that like it was my first time truth is though it reminded me of my kid
  9. I'll say you are having trouble understanding me because we are saying almost the exact same thing except for the bolded I think that is just you making stuff up He is not worth $6.5 imo
  10. Maybe MLL can chime in on this, but as I understand it once the offer is there, Brock can just sign it then he is the highest paid forward on the team but not the best forward sure Alvin can try and maybe actually barter Brock down, but he gives up a lot of leverage If Brock is signed at $7.5 and I am Horvat's agent, I am looking at $10 It is basic trickle up economics the one great hope with the new management team is that the salary structure makes more sense than it did when Loui E was the highest paid player on the team the Hamonic deal was a good one, but many in the Vancouver-Ottawa and greater hockey world did not understand it I wouldn't count on that happening again
  11. there are millions of beautiful women in this world and I am extremely happy with one of them live long enough to not take yourself seriously
  12. you don't simply qualify. by qualifying you are offering a salary of $7.5million that is real money and cap Boeser is currently capped at $5.875, that is $1.6M less than $7.5 where does that cap money come from? and then there is the small problem of explaining to Miller, Horvat and Pettersson why you pay Brock more than them " Hey boy, we'd reallly like it if you'd give us a nice friendly discount, cuz, you know we kind of spent heavy on the Brockstar" It will be interesting to see how the management get out of this one
  13. how many times has that actually worked? I always think of this deal when thinking about trading down I guess it worked for NJ, but can you think of any other time it worked out? Side note, man picking goalies is tough, Calgary pick Kidd and his 4.15 GGG over Marty and his 4.01 GG in the first round I guess Lou knew something about something Trevor Kidd Goalie Born Mar 26 1972 -- Dugald, MAN [50 yrs. ago] Height 6.02 -- Weight 190 [188 cm/86 kg] Drafted by Calgary Flames - round 1 #11 overall 1990 NHL Entry Draft Player trades [notes] 1990-Jun-16 Draft pick rights traded from New Jersey Devils with round 2 pick in the 1990 draft (Vesa Viitakoski) to Calgary Flames for round 1 pick in the 1990 draft (Martin Brodeur), round 2 pick in the 1990 draft (Chris Gotziaman) and round 2 pick in the 1990 draft (David Harlock)
  14. but Rental season is over If Brock was traded last deadline, sure he'd have brought more but because of his QO price Brock is essentially a UFA, (that is unqualified RFA = UFA) the Canucks could afford to wait on Miller because he has a year left not trading Brock was the "miss" of Alvin's first TDL day
  15. kind of wondering the same thing when looking at the Brock proposals I think unless its a sign and trade, Brock is worth a 3rd Erhoff garnered us a 4th, so maybe a 4th
  16. I guess that explains why you are a mod I used to dream about girls now I dream about women
  17. I Agree its interesting that we call it the "Bruce Bump" but we never called it the "Willie Bump" 101 points after the "Saga of Torts' lots of similarities. I did say similarities, not same, I know there will be some ready to jump all over that statement Although I have been happy with Bruce, and his record speaks for itself, there is something to be said for being in the right place at the right time Everything from Markstrom/Tanev/Toffoli, to Gadj/MacEwen including Petey/Hughes, Petey's mid-summer comments, air plane banner, chanting "Fire Green/Benning/Aqua..." and finally the Jersey, all lead up to the bump. There was collective exhale from the entire province of BC when the change was finally enacted I am sure Bruce is a better coach than Green, but Maggie the Monkey could have presided over the bump
  18. yes, it would have been nice to get in on that haul there was one team willing to pay that much It wasn't "Setting he standard" it was a "one off" Sometimes you have to get in on "THAT" deal and not wait for the one that follows Sometimes those deals are not offered universally That would have been a huge coup for a first trade for a new (to the NHL) GM Probably for the best, Canuck fans would not accept anything less at TDL day for the rest of Alvin's tenure
