[Buyout] Michael Grabner
NewbieCanuckFan replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I'd take McCann over Grabner, Rousell, or Gudbranson. I don't think that's a good example. If he was trash, the Pens would've have re-signed him. He's the SAME age as Jake Virtanen (who's had his share of ups & downs). Not all guys have the development of EP. -

Do Canuck fans think Benning is a great GM?
NewbieCanuckFan replied to fanfor42's topic in Canucks Talk
How he handles this off-season (and the next) will determine (*MY OPINION*.......not stating it as a fact) whether he's a great GM vs merely a good GM. With Loui still on the books (unless he retires), Benning can't afford to make another mistake like that. Stay away from the UFA circus. Guys get typically overpaid (and get term). Target cheaper UFAs (if any are available). -
Loui Eriksson got a six year deal from us.

I suspect a good part of that was from snowbirds coming back from Florida.

Joe Biden Debates Donald Trump September 29
NewbieCanuckFan replied to DonLever's topic in Off-Topic General
Bone Spurs doesn't need a tax cut. 1) He ain't really rich as he owes TONS of money to the Russians 2) He never pays any taxes -
When the Ukraine gave up their nukes, they essentially gave up the Crimea. This isn't to say things would be significantly better in that country today if they hadn't given them up. We (Canada) aren't the only country that has a good chunk of corruption in government (though one could easily argue, it's on another level there [in a bad way]).

We have a good chance at being a playoff team next season (especially if we free up $6 million on cap space by unloading Eriksson's contract). That means that 2nd round pick will likely be a mid-to low ranked 2nd round selection (limiting it's value). Adding Lind (imho) ain't nearly enough a sweetener to dump that contract.

[Rumour] Dale Weise to test free agency
NewbieCanuckFan replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Gillis got this guy for free off of waivers and he’s racked up over 500 games at the NHL level. Not to shabby. Trivia......Gillis traded him for R. Diaz & later flipped Diaz to the Habs for a fifth round pick. Want to know who we got with that pick (Benning selected him)? Adam Gaudette!- 25 replies

Eriksson isn’t so much a veteran at this point in his career but for NHLers, at over 35 years old, he’s a senior. Maybe the Sens will need him for their alumni team.

[Eklund] Virtanen to Boston?
NewbieCanuckFan replied to Provost's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Neely was only 21 when we dealt him. Virtanen is 24. Jake still has some upside but it wasn't nearly as much as when he was 21. That said, I don't want to trade him & think he'll be a solid 2nd/3rd liner (you can put him in either a offensive or checking role - more versality) for us in the years to come. Agree as well on not helping Boston *in any way*. -
(Trade) (Signings) Proposal
NewbieCanuckFan replied to Vanisleryan's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
Why would the Rangers want/need Loui? Even for Lundqvist? -
Jared McCann Signs $2.9 Million
NewbieCanuckFan replied to wildcam's topic in General Hockey Discussion
Guy can play as a defensive 3C or an offensive (in a good way lol) role as a winger on the 2nd line. This is what we HOPE Gaudette will become. -
[Trade] Hornqvist to Panthers
NewbieCanuckFan replied to Squamfan's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I stopped thinking that when we traded Guds for Pearson. -
That's like OVER 40 Loui Eriksson's! A complete NHL roster!

I typed in Red Dwarf on pornhub but didn't get any comedy stuff on the search results.

Collins has a real chance of losing because she so closely attached herself to Urine Man. She had no choice but to take this position to distance herself from "I'll take my steak well done with Heinz 57" if she wants to get re-elected to the Senate. I don't know much about the other person.
