  1. It doesnt sit well with me. Zucker may have plateaued as a player and the 12th is a pick where we hope, hope, to draft a Boeser like player. I'm not sure why we trade the sure thing in Boeser for that.
  2. Yip. Too much fuss over a guy who got 17 more points than Jake last year with 9 more games played. If he comes cheap because Minnesota is not liking his cap hit fair enough. Otherwise walk away JB.
  3. It was brought up today by someone but I have suggested it in the past. It makes sense for both sides.
  4. The rumored offer by Minnesota of Zucker for Boeser was an insult. F them.
  5. Would rather see if we could sign Dzingel or even Eberle costing us no assets. Or trade LE for Bobby Ryan.
  6. Ralph had his presser today. What a well spoken, intelligent man. I wish him success there. I also hope he's successful so it shows once again what a joke the Oilers organization have become. They gave the guy a half season to turn that mess around. City of Champions? More like City of Chumps.
  7. I like that more than the Lucic for LE trade.
  8. Few things would make me happier this summer then to wake up to a thread about Tryamkin signing and coming back. Please let it happen.
  9. Would rather have Kapanen over Nylander. And I like the trade you proposed but Jake is too much to add IMHO. I would throw in Goldy is needed but not Jake.
  10. I can't factor Tanev into any conversation. I'm done. Great story, great player, great man but I'm done with his injuries. Even if he isnt traded I just can't factor him into the lineup anymore. I'm into Zaitsev if the sweetener is valuable enough. I wonder what Tryamkin would think of our new right shot Russian dman if this trade were to happen.
  11. Leafs would have to add but I can see where this would be a good trade for both teams. But again, it's been rumored for years now that Trouba wants to play in the States.
  12. Yes. To me it depends a bit on Hughes development curve. You got to think he looks to be a second pair guy for now but if he struggles he will be a bottom pairing. Zaitsez is looking like second paring at best. Issue is finding that righty to play with Hughes. A crafty right handed dman is not easy to acquire. Maybe Zaitsev is worth a try at the cost he will come at?
  13. The more I read and ask Leaf fans about Zaitsev I wonder how he would do with Hughes. Righty Lefty. Hughes wants the puck and Zaitsev should have it as little as possible. From everyone I've talked to Zaitsev plays D just fine. Fine on D just struggles some with transition. Hughes may be a good fit.
  14. Tanev for Zaitsev and Kapanen and Marleau. I'd do that. I'd even throw in Goldy if I had to. Kapanen has ten times the fire in his belly than Goldy.
  15. I hear you. Some of those interactions with the southern folk is just good ole great entertainment.
  16. Interesting take on Demko. I'm glad you think so highly of him. He did show well this last year and got better as the year went on. I can't say I know a lot about Byram. I've seen him play once and was impressed but I'm no pro scout. My proposal was based mostly on the potential of Byram being a number one dman. If JB truly believed Byram to be a number one dman in the making I think its worth it. Been a fan a long, long time and have watched other teams ride their Norris dmen to cups and would love to finally see one on the Canucks roster. I am a Demko fan as well and I hope your right about him.
  17. Eww. That would make TO better. But I thought everything pointed towards Trouba wanting to play in the States. Plus, I gotta think Trouba extension in the 7 million range? How does TO fit that in.
  18. Anyone here watch Live PD? Yip, USA is traumatizing.
  19. Interesting. Good point. Why buy him out as he can still play.
  20. What if we take on Marleau as well we can get Kapanen. Buy him out, then he's free to re-sign ala Orpik.
  21. And David goddam Putney.... Because I feel like it.
