  1. Oh man. Someone more tech than me has to quote your post with that GIF of EP on the bench last year after getting scored on. "Guys........Focus!"
  2. If Hutton is traded I wouldn't mind adding Benn. Bring on both Benn and Schenn and we upgrade our toughness at the back end.
  3. Tanev is UFA after next season correct? He could potentially sign an extension with the team he is possibly traded to right away could he not?
  4. Exactly. I figure best we could or should offer is a second, Tanev, Jake. I'm positive the Avs will get better offers than that.
  5. Would love to add Barrie but I can't see how we can afford to trade for him. If they want Tanev that's a start but I cant imagine the other pieces are in our wheelhouse. Hate to dwell on it constantly but again it's out previous crap drafting that has us in this hole. We took Anton Rodin just before Barrie. Barrie was playing just down the road in Kelowna and playing, skating very well. The regime of Nonis and Gillis had a few hits on picks but way, way too many whiffs.
  6. I defend JB a lot because too many fans use hindsight to judge him. But I give most of the credit to Eddy on this one. He has shown that he is a true Canuck and loves the team and the City. As a fan I can really really appreciate that.
  7. Congrats EP. Two classy, Swedish Canucks retire and then you show up. So glad your a Canuck and I hope to watch you kicking ass for years.
  8. Meh. Maybe Seattle takes him if only a year was left to deal him at the deadline. In the end I just dont see them taking a dman of Eddys age. Eddy will be 35 at the expansion draft.
  9. In the end I really doubt they will trade him within their division. My bet is he ends up in the East.
  10. This is really good news. Great, veteran, long time Canuck to help with the kids. Best news all day.
  11. Hughes says hello. Hughes will be there manning the point in due time.
  12. For sure. I could see the Leafs interested as well. Perry will sign cheap there me thinks.
  13. I used to think that was enough but it isnt anymore. With what contracts are coming to Zaitsev, a serviceable right side Dman, isnt on such a bad contract anymore.
  14. A lot of trades are probably hinging on what happens with that week where your allowed to talk to UFA's. I believe it starts Sunday.
  15. Looks like the culprit of an Amber Alert for missing children.
  16. That's good to hear. Tanev to TO just works. He's a big upgrade on Zaitsev at basically the same cap cost. Being an Ontario guy his chances of re-signing are good. If I'm JB I offer Tanev and Goldy for Zaitsez and Marlaeu and Kapanen. Makes sense for both teams on so many levels. Rumours like this dont get released by accident. I think this is an example of JB learning on the job and he is finally using the media to his advantage. This will put some pressure on Dubas knowing Tanev is being shopped. IE Tanev to Buffalo for Rits, Tanev to the Jets if they dont re-sign Myers. Tanev to Vegas for Miller and a cap dump. There are scenarios out there that may prod Dubas to get something done now rather than being left at the alter with few options.
  17. Doesnt surprise me at all. It may also be a story leaked on purpose. Puts pressure on TO to swap Zaitsez + for Tanev. TO has done nothing to improve their D yet and lots of pressure on Dubas to do so. A trade around Zaitsev + for Tanev makes so much sense.
  18. Panarin is going to get the keys to a franchise at this rate.
