    Very unfortunate that they couldn’t give Rathbone a better look considering it’s not like the guys we’re choosing to play over him are difference makers anyway. You’re right though it’s a bad look for young college guys looking to sign. Why would they pick us to follow in the footsteps of Rathbone.

    I'm really curious why fans think Rathbone being down in the AHL developing is such a terrible thing?

    He wasn't ready, and it's not like this is his 4th year, it's his 2nd. If he truly expected and all these guys coming the the NCAA expect to just be gifted a spot on a team then I don't want them. They gotta earn it, and be ready for it. The NHL isn't a development league, and we've hurt a lot of young players by treating it like one.

    I just want to know If Kuzmenko tells the Canucks he's going to ufa, will everyone be ok if we end up trading him at the deadline?

    If Kuz won't discuss an extension or sign an extension before the deadline, then we should absolutely trade him.

    If we are trading Bo, there's no reason to keep Kuz as we are going into a mini, possibly major re-build.

    What might should be is not what it is though.

    As a dinosaur, I miss the tie; but that doesn't work for Vegas et al, so we have this hogwashed Marchand of a point awarded to the loser.

    And it messes up the old math and the historical comparables.

    I'm getting dizzy.  DROP THE PUCK DROOGS  -  LET'S DO THIS!!

    Oh I agree, I hate the current format but I know the shootout is going nowhere.

    I get it. But ppl who use the term usually have a grudge about it. They either want to go back to ties or have shootout wins get 2 points. Which is dumb. Splitting the difference is perfect.

    Honestly, the way the current system is, is pretty stupid. Having different games worth a different amount of points doesn't make sense. Every game should be worth the same amount. So with the "loser point", or the get to OT point if you prefer to call it that, every game should be a total of 3 points. 3 for an Reg/OT Win, 2 for a SO win and 1 for the SO loser. No points if you lose in OT.

    At least, that is my opinion.

    Why do ppl call it the "loser point"? Do you want to go back to tie games or do you want shootout wins to count as a regulation win ?

    Because back in the day, you didn't get a point for making it to OT. You only got a point if the game ended in a tie, if the game didn't then one team got 2 points while the other team got 0. Thus, the extra point being known as the loser point.
