  1. Can you do the FallGuy? Where he jumps his Chevy in the intro. Loved that show.
  2. Meh. From the same GM that gave up Forsberg for Erat. McPhee shouldn't trade.
  3. Just horsing around and I agree. Check my comments in the Oilers hire Holland thread. Hollands overrated. More a play on JB's lack of experience vs Holland.
  4. I'm kind of scared though. Holland is like some slick, young playboy while JB is still a vulnerable, young hotty. One drink and JB will be giving it up for nothing.
  5. This is probably a farce. But it does get me thinking. Maybe something around Lucic and Larsson. Larsson is UFA after next year. Maybe there has been no interest from his side to extend. If Larsson came here with an extension that may be interesting. He gets a lot of flack but he is a solid top four right side dman.
  6. But a player can also agree to waive his expansion draft eligibility. Could Lucic not add that to his contract at the time of a trade?
  7. Agreed. You need skill but you need some size and skill with size too match up. Skill will overcome a lot in a game, especially a regular season game. But a seven game series is a different beast.
  8. Doubt that's true but I would do that in a heartbeat. Even add Goldy or Hutton. Nurse is a underrated dman I would love to see in a Canucks jersey.
  9. Sbisa should continue his a career as a perfect 5 or 6 dman. Problem is the NHL has changed in that the pressure to develop young kids quickly has squeezed out a lot of fringe 30's players like Sbisa. He should still be a bottom pairing NHLer but it may not happen for him. Strong guy who handles the forecheck well. Clears the net well and doesn't take crap. He just seems to melt when he gets to many minutes though.
  10. I cant argue those points. Speed is important and Lucic is not that. If not Lucic, then in some way we need to protect the kids. If JB is considering Lucic then he agrees this is an issue with the team. Watching EP take crap and Hughes will now too is one thing, its hockey. It's the lack of pushback that absolutely riles me. We need a player with some bug eyed squirrllyness to keep teams honest. A player that can honestly instill some fear.
  11. I wonder if adding a tough player like Lucic helps all our middle weight guys play a little tougher. Like how adding a number one dman slots the rest of the D more appropriately.
  12. I still haven't latched on to the trade Lucic for LE proposals but I haven't written it off as an option yet. What intrigues me is if we add Tryamkin, Lucic, Poolparty, for next year. Hmmm.
  13. MDZ always seemed proud to be a Canuck. In his interviews and the way his teammates talked about him he seemed like a great teammate. Been a fan for a long time and have seen times when a player doesnt want to be a Canuck. Too bad he won't get his name on the cup if the Blues pull this off. That would of been neat.
  14. In retrospect given Minnie's roster those are very valid points mll.
  15. Can they not structure the contract back end loaded. Say 3 + 3 + 8 for instance. It would virtually guarantee Seattle wouldn't take him. Or structure the bonuses as such?
  16. Ummm. If this was the offer for Zucker it would be done. Plus, no way JB offers up our best right dman unless he's sure of another one being acquired.
  17. That's where I would try him. EP needs a Panarin to play with more than anything. EP's smarts are off the charts and needs a player like Panarin.
  18. If Jake can grow into the role I agree. I'm just not sure Jake can learn the puck recovery skills needed for that line. Like Burrows did. Jake still wants to be the fly down the wing with the puck winger. Not a puck retriever.
  19. I think it's going to take more than a late first to acquire his rights. He may be the biggest UFA I can think of in years. He is young for a UFA and has KHL miles on him which are easier miles. I put Panarin ahead of Tavares as a UFA get. I would think there is a wink, wink mechanism in place where if JB knew Panarin would sign here he would trade for him. If that were the case it could quite possibly cost next years second.
  20. I don't know man. My Spidey senses are going off today. I got a feeling Panarin is signing here.
