(Rumour) Canucks concerned about a Pettersson offer sheet
kanucks25 replied to cuporbust's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I'm not saying it's likely we're going to lose him. My post was more towards the people who think we would/could walk away from him. -

Losing a young 1C sets this "rebuild" back years. This is why some preach cap flexibility. If you need to overpay, you overpay essential players, not placeholders and support/secondary players like the ones we've signed in free agency. -
[Signing] Canucks re-sign Conor Garland
kanucks25 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I'd hold off on calling him a top pair D until he performs like one, because he hasn't for a few years now. FWIW, I'm optimistic that he'll have a bounce back season. Just don't know how far he's going to bounce. -

Really like the player and the contract. Great work. -
Mixed bag is rich. And any dissenting opinion is met with replies likes yours to me Apparently I'm biased just for disagreeing with you lol. It's a figure of speech, surely you understand that. Yes I know, I was one of them. Yeah, I don't think Schmidt is the problem here. I'm entitled to that opinion.

Just find it funny when management brings in a player via signing/trade/draft/whatever, it's all praise here and then if it doesn't work out, it's all on the player. Eriksson, Virtanen, McCann, Prust, Dahlen, Schmidt, etc. We've had quite a few problem children of late. Maybe we should look at the root of the problem instead? And thanks, I will! Most posts I'm replying to don't deserve anything more.

You mean teams weren't lining up to trade for a goalie with a 4M+ cap hit that's been under .900 sv% back-to-back years? No wai -
{Discussion} Canucks Trades the last 3 years and next year
kanucks25 replied to Iron Fist's topic in Canucks Talk
Few draft picks and few prospects left, all before accomplishing anything. So we have no choice but to compete now, that's what Benning has initiated with the latest trade. It's make or break time. If this core doesn't have it, we're in for a lot more years of pain. This isn't "the" year, as the core is still relatively young and could have a lot of good years together, but I think people are overestimating how much cap space we'll have going forward. The limit isn't supposed to increase for at least a few more seasons, and for every Luongo recapture or Holtby contract coming off the books, a Horvat or Boeser or Hoglander is in line for a raise. What we desperately need is a mid or late draft pick or two to become impact players. Someone like Jett Woo coming out of nowhere and establishing himself as a top-4 RD while still on his ELC or cheap bridge contract. We simply don't have the roster, assets, cap space to be a legit contender without something like this happening. We need some luck, I think we can all agree that we're due. -
Pretty shallow way to evaluate the merits of open cap space.

[discussion] Elliot Friedman’s free agency predictions
kanucks25 replied to qwijibo's topic in General Hockey Discussion
If it happened, he's going to report it. That's his job. How a few random, easily offended Canucks fans perceive it is none of his concern, naturally. -

A reporter reporting what they hear. Fascinating. -
[Report] Niklas Hjalmarsson announces retirement
kanucks25 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in General Hockey Discussion
Warrior for the Hawks during their peak years, great player. He won't ever get mentioned with Kane, Toews and Keith when people look back at that team but he was very important to their success. -

kanucks25 replied to qwijibo's topic in General Hockey Discussion
How is that trolling? You do realize Buchnevich was traded, right? You don't think it's in anyway possible that when the Rangers and Canucks talked about Buch, they asked for Horvat? He didn't say it was close to happening or anything because the Canucks wouldn't entertain that. You're perceiving what you want instead of reading what's there. -
Guy at the top right got lost on his way to the spelling bee group photo. No wait, never mind, one of the best players of all time.
