  1. Good point. Grandma glasses and JB seem to have some repor.
  2. Sure. Zaitsez, Marleau, Kapanen for Tanev. One stop shopping for TO.
  3. If Zaitsev comes with the right sweetener I have no issues with this. He is a serviceable dman and at 4.5 you wont get that kind of dman in free agency at that price point. Especially a righty.
  4. So we agree on the tanking doesn't work. Ultimately where this team has failed in my opinion is the lack of first round picks. The lack of darts at the dart board. Cant even really blame anyone though as our team at one point may have had a record amount of NTC's. Eddy should of netted a first. Instead nothing. Nothing for Hamhuis, Naslund, Morrison, Jovo. These just off the top of my head. Its painfull although I think Jovo was hurt at the deadline.
  5. Its been proven. Tanking doesn't work. It doesnt. It's a lottery and we suck at it. Hughes and EP are legit and we didnt need top picks to get them. First or second overall picks would of been nice but you need some luck and we dont have any.
  6. I don't know if it's as bad as you say but I see your point. I dont agree on Hutton and especially Stetcher. Both capable dmen. That's why I dont get down on the Myers and Gardiner rumours. They will make our D better. Will need some development luck but OJ and Woo are legit prospects. Prospects so not able to list them as starters yet but indications are they are on the right track.
  7. EK on one leg and a pulled groin is better than any D we have. It's a gamble but if he stays healthy we finally, finally have a number one D, Norris Dman in a Canucks jersey.
  8. I could see Arizona and Chayka helping out Dubas. These two XBox GM' will stick together and help each other out.
  9. So true. Kenny ffnn Powers. I see him working out on the ice here in Kelowna in the summer sometimes. Very good on his edges.
  10. Been a weird series. Tied at two games a piece yet one team has been far better than the other with each win.
  11. Fans are making silly comparisons between the two. They are both tall rightys and that's about it. Meyers has a nice first pass and is a great skater for his size. He can actually turn and react and not rely on the glass to get the puck out. Edit. I would love to have Myers here, but no on a stupid long contract. 5 years would be nice.
  12. Kind of feel bad for Cheveldayoff. Very, very patient GM and he's built a great team. Then finally goes out at the deadline this year and last year to bolster the club and it doesnt work out. He's got some work to do now.
  13. I do agree. Gardiner isnt as bad as most think. He is a good replacement for Eddy if Eddy is asking for too long a term. Plus, the guy has been mostly healthy his career so far.
  14. Too bad this kid didn't work out for us. He started with a neat legacy being born into the organization from a Burrows that bled blue and waived his NTC to better the club. Sounds like a self entitled little twerp.
  15. The thing about signing EK is finally having a number one dman. It means every other D slots down one and the group looks better already.
  16. Willie Mays Hayes:Willie Mays Hayes. I hit like Mays, and I run like Hayes.
  17. Probably right. But not that far fetched. Corey Schneider landed a 10th overall all by himself. CS was more proven than Demko at the time but their career trajectories are very similar so far. Young, quality, goalies are worth a lot if you dont have one in your organization.
  18. McKeown? I believe that was the player drafted with our Linden Vey pick traded to LA?
  19. Been a fan since 82. Canuck luck is a real thing and I'm sorry to have to agree with you.
  20. I would sign Myers and trade Tanev. Tired of the injuries. Gardiner isn't as bad as he's made out to be. Fact is our D really lacks at puck moving and both these guys can fill that role. I'm glad JB is at least looking to address this issue.
  21. The fact he fell to us, coupled with our needs, it was a thing of beauty. I thought for sure Detroit was gonna pick him.
  22. Really? They want to buy him out? Cant they make up a bunch of crap like Toronto where Marleau, Zaitsev, Torontos two biggest anchor contacts, all of a sudden mysteriously want out?
  23. Nice. I will always remember JB's giddinenss when he drafted Hughes.
