the NHLPA would hate it but just because the PA disagrees does not mean it would be bad for hockey the NHLPA thinks Loui Erricksson deserved $36M over 6 years because he found a sucker and put up 63points one year

The NHL is a poser league it always has been the NHL is to the major sports what American Motors was to the auto industry In both cases, it was always the BIG 3 +1 not , as the NHL would have you believe, THE BIG4 If you went to every city with an NHL club and said, 'You only get to keep 1 team', the NHL would be down to 9 teams 7 in Canada, and Columbus and Raleigh So the NHL continues to tinker with the rules, hoping to find a game that appeals to Americans they tried to take out fighting, but Americans like fighting, and so do many Canadians they tried to recreate Gretzky's office, but they couldn't recreate Gretzky they have removed the center line and played with the offside rule but mostly Americans don't care So it's not the cap or lack of trades that brings down American interest It's a back seat league that has not stayed true to itself, except that it will do almost anything to get Americans to open their wallet

I like your cap idea what you would start to see is, Robidais Island being in the press box then you would see $4-5-6M players asking to be traded but you are missing one thing on the trade front players don't like to be traded that is why there are so many "clauses" 'removing clauses from contracts would free up trade, and cause another long strike

So coach T called out the team "soft", who will be our team's enforcer then?

haha we have been playing that card longer than ol Jimmer's "Retool" -
[Proposal] Van - Pitt Including Miller
lmm replied to Highstickin's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
haha so true it's sad though, because it is all true -
I find it interesting that our fearless leader was mocked and chastised for wearing pajamas while visiting India and 'black face' is universally condemned and yet, you feel it should be mandatory for all players to wear rainbow even if it is done insincerely. would you also implore players to wear bras on womens day and turbans on Diwali ? In this day and age, it is increasingly frowned up to wear the garb of a culture that you do not belong to, some times it is even considered appropriation Lunar New yar just happened, and members of the Chinese community performed in Dragon costume, but the players were not asked to also wear dragon costumes. That would have been offensive and inappropriate. Perhaps the event would be batter served if the home teams paraded out gay pillars of their community, (Victoria, Vancouver and Calgary can all trot out past mayors) rather than forcing unwilling players to wear rainbow maybe it should be more like cancer day, when players talk about people in their lives who are LGBTQ2+ and if they don't have anything to say, they can remain quiet

what make you think that?

hahah I guess you didn't watch the JR interviews JR sits in a chair, a mic appears, and sound bite emerge why would media not pick up that gold tossed at their feet?

[Rumour] Nikita Tryamkin eyeing NHL return
lmm replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I think the HalfDozer is corrrect I think its to stop teams from burying guys in Europe until the playoffs so, the Bruins could sign him, and the Canucks could claim him He could sign on the first day of the playoffs, and his season would be done -

I'll go with , 'I think so" but you probably really want @MLL 's opinion on that I recall Esa Tikkanaen coming in for the finals but that was a long time ago -
[Signing] Canucks re-sign Brock Boeser
lmm replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I think in Van at $2M for 2 years or even 1 year would have been good -
[Proposal] Where Else Do Ex-Canucks Players End Up?
lmm replied to HKSR's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
then is becomes a trade of cap dumps -
isn't 41 the EBUG number, back up to the back up in the ECHL?
-
there are only 3 players I see as captain material on the current Canucks Pettersson, Hughes and Schenn and I have never heard any of them speak about being captain at any level
-
I do not I do not believe that natural leaders seek leadership roles One of the problems I had with Horvat was that he was touted as the next captain the day he was drafted, not his fault, but still it set the path. I never heard him say anything like, "If the team wants me to be captain" I think he was talking about being captain in very early interviews. Its hard to imagine what would have happened if someone else came along and assumed the role I don't think Bo would have accepted that very well, but you never know

I just found this in my facebook it seems apropos

I guess I am one of the few who do not have a problem with the cap, per se I think rules could/should and will be tightened round loop holes but most of the problems with the cap revolve around bad GMs after 8 years of Jim Benning, it doesn't make sense that Vancouver fans have issues with the cap Cap problems are created by bad GMs
-
you'd probably see players holding out on teams like Arizona and Vancouver, Buffalo and Ottawa
-
how so?
-
I do not believe it was their focus I probably should have put want in italics I think there is a big difference between accepting the responsibility of being captain and wanting to be captain

we traded a guy who was in Disneyland with his kid spot the difference
