  1. Exactly. What does Toronto need. Good, young, cheap D. Why would they get rid of one? Because Liljigren isn't. good.
  2. We need young RHD. Yes. But we need young RHD that are good. Liljigren isn't good.
  3. Yip. Hoglander is one of my favorites and I think the upside to him is plenty and real. I would hate to see him traded.
  4. Kind of shows just how difficult it is to aquire stellar goaltending when acquiring a backup proves difficult. How blessed we've been for so long to have top end goaltending. At the moment we have Demko, quite possibly the best Canucks goaltender ever.
  5. It's complete crap that San Jose can afford this against the cap. They should still be on the hook for Kane. This league is so bush.
  6. Exactly, Rathbone is already better than Lillypad.
  7. I'm obviously not a Liljegren fan. But if the trade is Halak, sure. When I hear Motte for Liljegren? There are new holes in my drywall.
  8. I see no need to trade Schenn. Great depth D, that is signed for cheap this year and next. Quinn loves him and he adds snarl and cup experience. I would rather keep Schenn. If a second round pick was offered up, I may be talked out of my opinion, but I love having a player that loves to be a Canuck.
  9. I've followed this player quite closely since Lamarillo walked through the draft floor with the cat swallowed the canary grin. Liljigren fell in the draft and Leafs nation thought this was a steal. I admit I hate the Leafs, so I've watched this closely. He was in the minors as long as possible, mostly because he couldn't be trusted in the NHL. He came to the age where it's play him with the big club, or it's waivers. He's only playing because of cap, lack of depth, waivers. He isn't even that great offensively and people assume because he's smallish, he must be offensive. He's a mess. Would way rather see Rathbone in his place, not even close between the two imho.
  10. This has to be made up. Liljigren is a mess on his own end. He skates well but is soft as tissue, and about as dumb as single ply. No. Only reason he's in the Leaf lineup is because of cap and their lack of depth. Just No.
  11. I don't know. Canucks D can be a tire fire in their own zone. Demko bailed them out more than the average amount imho.
  12. Shouldn't even bother with three stars when Demko is playing, just have two stars and Demko. Maybe he wasn't first star, but they don't win this one without Demko.
  13. Yip. Was watching a Flames game the other night and forgot just how damn good Tanev is. Easily one of the most underrated dmen in the NHL
  14. He has a unique style for sure. But it works. The guys a gamer.
  15. Liljegren, lol. He is far from a good, young D. He's only playing because the Lafs can't afford the upgrade.
  16. I agree. I would ask for a second, take it or leave it. Every GM knows you win cups with your third and fourth line, they need to play, and play well.
  17. That's my feeling as well. I'm all for re-signing JT. Getter done. But you can't pay him for this career season as if it's going to continue. That would be stupid.
  18. Nice add by Sakic. He knows what it takes to win. I'm excited we now have JR in charge, finally upper mangement with a cup rings.
