  1. I wouldn't care if there was an all Melmacian line so as long as they can play hockey.
  2. I worry about Clarke going to a division rival. Our ace in the hole has always been goaltending these past few years. It's not so much how much our goaltending will decline but how much a positive impact Clarke will have on an opposing team. Just my thoughts, not claiming "facts" (just opinions).
  3. Nope. That's his bonus this off-season. His salary is $3 million. Stall is a defenseman while LE is only a winger. Hardly comparable roles imho. Now if LE was a center, it might be more relevant.
  4. Lack of confidence from making a decent run in the postseason? Sorry but I agree to disagree there. It's way better than ending with a whimper this season.
  5. I fail to see how a even an average assistant coach couldn’t get more out of power play even with EP out. But maybe I’m out to lunch since Hughes, Boeser, Miller, Horvat, Schmidt are all scrubs.
  6. Assistant coaches are the same. Power play becomes the PK again.
  7. Offer him enough money and term would be pretty strong motivation. But we didn’t because well, reasons!
  8. Wasn’t that around the time Tallon forgot to hand out qualifying offers to his RFAs?
  9. Like how coach Q is getting the best out of Gustav Forsling? He’s a high quality head coach period imho.
  10. As well as the dumbazz offer sheet Weisbrod helped instigate for ROR.
  11. Talent might not be there (at least from a defensive standpoint) What really bothers me is the power play. It *SHOULD* be better. Even with Pettersson out, you've still got lethal weapons like Hughes, Boeser, and Miller. ZERO excuse to be this bad.
  12. Seems like Faulk tried to injure Kadri's shoulder by using his head to ram into it.
  13. Seeing as the arena was 100% funded by the previous owner (nor the Aquilini's) and not the taxpayer, I kind of lean towards this. Let's see what happens when the team needs a new arena (as Rogers is kind of getting up there in age).
  14. I think the name you meant to say was Thomas Gradin. I mean, Gradin’s mother even babysat Naslund as a child! skip to the 1 minute 10 second mark. Gradin, I believe also had a hand in drafting Ohlund. Solid career as a Canuck player. Even better career as a Canuck scout. A legendary Canuck that often gets overlooked.
  15. Seems like Benning’s been looking to add a top 4 right side D since 2014. Guess he needs more time.
  16. You do realize John Weisbrod would be then GM? (I know you’re kidding but imagine if that were to happen)
  17. Demko should be MVP. Without him, this team would’ve sewn up last place months ago. Agree with ibatch, Brock had a GREAT year nonetheless.
  18. Happens to all athletes eventually. Look at how fast Hansen fell off the cliff. You can beat Father Time.
