Thank you!! never thought I'd see the day where someone is gatekeeping fans from wanting to know the height and weight of their team's players..
-
again, me wanting to have correct data on players has nothing to do with me being fixated on it.. stop making such wild assumptions and being so judgmental.. and I mentioned it being 2021 because it should be easier than ever to collect and report accurate data
-
Who might that be? I know we got rid of at least one of them at least...

Elias Pettersson | Quinn Hughes - Contract Discussion Thread

There goes the idea that Quinn isn't at camp to avoid injury while still unsigned.. -
[Signing] Kings re-sign Cal Petersen
'NucK™ replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I thought Nedeljkovic @ $3M was a good comparable.. I don't understand what Cal's agent possibly used to get LA up to that $5M #? -
So weird to call it a fixation.. what, you think we spend out free time thinking about what Pod's real weight is? It's 2021 ffs.. before releasing weights and heights on a brand new training camp roster sheet, do you not feel like those #'s should be accurate? When there is a 3 day old picture of two guys who are the exact same height, but one is listed at 6'2", and the other at 6'4", obviously it's going to raise some eyebrows and generate questions. tldr: I don't think a fan wanting players' height & weight to be disclosed in today's day and age, and for those #'s to be accurate, has anything to do with being fixated about it.

certainly hard to imagine it, but I also have a hard time imagining how anti-vaxxers say 99% of the stuff they do.. so IF he really is one, even his daughter being immuno-compromised may not be enough for him to change his tune

[DEBATE] Which is the greatest TRADE in Vancouver Canucks history?
'NucK™ replied to Elias Pettersson's topic in Canucks Talk
I had no idea we traded for the pick that we used on Edler. Nice job 2004 staff! -
I feel like $6m has always been his floor.. all the Dahlin deal shows in my mind is that Huggy should indeed be signing somewhere close to that $6m, and won't get whatever exorbitant # his agent is looking for.

[Signing] Kings re-sign Cal Petersen
'NucK™ replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Here we go, obviously the most accurate comparable to Petey -
He is. There is literally a picture of him standing right next to Klimovich (listed 6'2") and Pod is a smidge shorter.. so that chart is definitely wrong. Also, if he was really 6'4", he'd be far heavier than 203lb..

Brock you are a BEAUTY
-
I'm pretty certain JB would too.. Quinn is probably stuck on $7x3 or something like $8.5x6 if he is considering long term.. hopefully seeing the Dahlin deal brings him back to earth
-
I've watched every game that Quinn has played too, but that's only one side of the coin if we are comparing two players here.. I agree with the way you have described Quinn. I also think Dahlin has pros such as having a higher defensive ceiling once both players have matured (yes, largely because of his size), while also playing more physical. Yes an offensive d-man like Hughes is more valuable to VAN at the moment, but to me that isn't the indicator that he should be making more than Dahlin. IMO, it's a perfect comparable and if Huggy is now missing camp because he's stuck on $6.5 while JB is offering him $6, that's lame AF of him

Elias Pettersson | Quinn Hughes - Contract Discussion Thread
'NucK™ replied to Bertuzzipunch's topic in Canucks Talk
I think there are a lot of pros and cons to both players, both of which are pretty hard to quantify. It's like they aren't really comparable players at all, but perfect comparables at the same time (if that makes any sense..), which to me makes the same $6x3 deal for Huggy look like a no-brainer. -
well no one here has any idea what you are talking about, so no, when the deal is announced we'll still have no idea what you mean..
-
for what reasons to you is Quinn worth almost 1M more than Dahlin? not trying to be a dink, genuinely curious why you feel Hughes brings more value

Elias Pettersson | Quinn Hughes - Contract Discussion Thread
'NucK™ replied to Bertuzzipunch's topic in Canucks Talk
I just meant if you are solely looking at basic stats, and not underlying ones, Assists in the only thing Hughes wins in. Dahlin has more G, shots, better shooting %, all while getting (slightly) less ozone starts than Quinn on what I would argue is a worse team. 4x more hits too.. So to say that an arbitrator would give Quinn $7m if Dahlin at $6m was the main comparable doesn't make much sense -

Why would they only look at Assists? -
Speak for yourself lol.. I'm an MLB (and occasionally NFL if I'm really enjoying my couch) viewer

Elias Pettersson | Quinn Hughes - Contract Discussion Thread
'NucK™ replied to Bertuzzipunch's topic in Canucks Talk
Yeah I suppose they would both want some kind of modified no trade. But I don't see either of them putting much value into a full league wide NMC is what I meant I guess. So on that note, I can't see that being the holdup, because I think both sides would be totally fine with like a 10-15 team NMC list for instance -

'NucK™ replied to Bertuzzipunch's topic in Canucks Talk
I mean do Huggy (with his bros in NJ), and Petey (considering he seems to be OK with playing anywhere as long as the team is competitive), even want NTC's?? -
Elias Pettersson | Quinn Hughes - Contract Discussion Thread
'NucK™ replied to Bertuzzipunch's topic in Canucks Talk
Could you elaborate on what makes them special compared to guys like H. Sedin, D. Sedin, Kesler, Bieksa who were all asked, and agreed, to "a deal"? -
Not so sure about that... I'm 6'2 and nowhere as thick (or muscular I'm sure) than Pod in that picture, and I'm 195lb.. I'm pretty sure he is at least 210. Just look at those thighs. He basically has a similar body to Horvat (215lb)/Boeser (208lb), but is a bit taller

Thatcher Demko and Jason Dickinson at NHL Media Day
'NucK™ replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Pretty sure they are making some kind of promo video that will probably come out when training camp starts. Or if we don't see it then, potentially in-arena during the home opener.
