  1. I like Hamonic the player. Old school, good player, good contract. But would rather keep Schenn.
  2. Very few things in life are certain. But this trade will be touted by the media as the best move at trade deadline this year. This is certain.
  3. I don't get the Elliot hate either. He's actually one voice that will speak with some facts when talking Canucks. Ya, he can be a Leaf homer, but so is 90 percent of media.
  4. TO getting Marazyk in the minors for depth and making room for Halak. Halak can be had for cheap, cheap. Dubas et all are baragin shopping.
  5. Yip. That's all I would do. I am as tough on Halak as anyone, but I don't think he's that bad. He's been a great goalie through his career, just a bad fit here.
  6. I heard JR wanted a Dermott - Barrie, top paring next year Heffy.
  7. There's hope. Dubas gave up a third last year for Red Light Rittich.
  8. True enough. And I wouldn't trade Motte for less than a second.
  9. See if you can get an asset for him tomorrow? Business is Business, need to keep emotions out of it.
  10. Saw this coming once you string some rumors together. Something involving Halak or Motte or Hunt. Tough to evaluate Dermott as I hate the Leafs. Even with my goggles off, not a big fan of Dermott.
  11. My hope is they all make nice till trade deadline passes and see if we can lose the guy. If not, if I'm JR, I find out exactly what was said. If it as it appears, I would park his ass at home and call up Martin. You can pay the goof to stay away from the rink, call up Martin.
  12. I get what your saying and like I said, he's similar to Juolevi in a lot of ways. Exchange for Motte? I guess it depends on market value for Motte. I'd rather have a second for Motte than Liljigren. I'd rather have Liljigren than a third for Motte. I'd have traded Halak for Liljigren, but I think that ship has sailed for several reasons. I would hope we could get better than Liljigren for Motte. I do agree Lockwood has a good chance of taking over Motte's role sooner than later. I just watched Liljigren quite closely the other night against Carolina. Long ways to go to be a regular NHLer if you ask me.
  13. Liljigren may have been tried top four, but he hasn't played at a top four level. He's brutal. Falls down plenty because he's weak. His hockey IQ is constantly questioned. He's only on Toronto because they can't afford better and I believe he isn't waiver wire eligible. He's at a level similar to Juolevi. Ask or read up on the Toronto fan boards. The common consensus is that he shouldn't even be in the NHL. So now you have a player who really should be in the minors perfecting his craft, but is instead getting blown up in the NHL. Problem is I believe he can't go to the minors without passing through waivers. He's brutal, and this fan base should stop looking at his draft position. Even TO fans and media have very little positive to say about Liljigren. That's a red flag in itself as that fan base is always looking for a hero. Heck, if Dubas laced up his skates and scored a goal at the Christmas Family skate the fans would probably want him on the team. Stay away from Liljigren, soft, weak, and shares the same hockey IQ as Jake.
  14. Smart trade by the Hawks. But they should be short a first round pick this year from their failure to deal with, and then hide a sexual predators actions. The NHL is bush.
  15. Both those teams will be tough outs and I'm betting we lose both. I really don't like how we are playing. Everything JT is doing is magic and this won't last forever. Was last night the beginning of the end of JT's magic touch? Hogs is a bigger loss than his stats show. Pods is struggling, a rookie, so understandably so. Our D is still loosy goosy, our starts are embarrassing, we have no backup, Boeser is MIA. I predict a couple more losses this weekend and the Canucks the center of attention Monday morning. Magic 8 ball says so, lol.
