Van & Philly(a Would U, proposal)
Nuxfanabroad replied to Nuxfanabroad's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
It's a hypothetical situation(a Would U?)..it's not ENDORSING a trade..nor selling the idea, for that matter. If English is one's mother tongue, hypothetical ain't too much to fathom, is it? Simply if you're in the GM's shoes, & your ph rings with such an offer, do you: flatly refuse, discuss with cohorts, or possibly even counter with stronger demands? I see many harping about EP in PGT's, yet in threads like these, they're prob quiet as a church mouse. It's a thread for discussion in a scrubbed out week, devoid of Canucks action. & ftr, not sure I'd agree to this offer either. ******************** About 1.5-2 yrs back I presented another EP, 'Would U' offer with CBJ. For PLD & Seth Jones. Many laughed, saying it represented overpayment from the Jacket's pov. At the time I said we shouldn't take it, & would say that still holds up today. Nobody's a freeken GM on these boards. These discussions mostly provide analysis on different player's(both Canucks & other NHL'ers) relative values. If folks are gonna hop up & down(nose outa' joint) it would appear to be more trouble than it's worth..at least it's typing practice for my snail's pace. -
Boring off-wk, so throwing a random idea out there for hyperventilating rants & discussion. The setting: Next 15-20 games, EP40 starts reverting to his rookie form, & looking mighty fine. Team keeps rolling, & appears a lock for a top-3 finish in Pacific. Over in the Metro, Philly is a mess, but Giroux is up to his usual ppg-antics. he agrees to waive his NMC to land on a PO team Van: EP40 Philly: Giroux, 2022 1st r pick(lotto protected; looks like they'll prob wind up picking in a #10-12 OA slot) Another condition: If Giroux re-signed in Philly, we'd get ANOTHER 1st(thereby cancelling the possibility) So we would roll into PO's with Miller, Horvat & Giroux as 3 top C's. Also enjoying a higher pick, after all the spring fun. Philly wouldn't trust their own scouting enough; wagering EP40 is far superior to anything they might select. Don't know what I'd do(in GM's shoes). Such a deal holds risk, & EP in top form is such a gem. But yeah, something to talk about...

Is MTL Purposefully Tanking?
Nuxfanabroad replied to Nuxfanabroad's topic in General Hockey Discussion
That's cool, JIHN..but had you uttered such sentiments like I did back in Oct? Well Hell hath no fury like these Hab-fans scorned! Made my predictions, then spent perhaps 2 pages of thread hosing water on flaming outbursts! :^) Anywho, they are damn-well right in ensuring this catastrophe is a bottom-10, dive-bomb. They sorely neeed to keep their lower 1st r pick. Send the high one to the desert. -

Got a flashback to that Tarantino dialogue from True Romance(loose paraphrase)... "Oh man, nothing was more hard-hitting than your Vietnam war tribute: Goin Home In a Body bag!" -
Is MTL Purposefully Tanking?
Nuxfanabroad replied to Nuxfanabroad's topic in General Hockey Discussion
On the Boobtube is Tony Marinaro's(epi: 103) "The Sick Podcast" with Norm Flynn, a seemingly competent hockey analyst/journo They are ALL-IN , hard selling the heavy tank. Reduced to cliches like "playing the right way". Marinaro even sporting garb that promotes the hard tank. It's a debacle out there in Quebec..with them Habs looking like our angle, way back,perhaps circa 2015?! Question now appears are the Habs angling to actually limbo BELOW the depths of the diseased, desert dogs?!! Stay tuned boppers... -

Would love to turn Hamonic into Edmundson. Don't know what we'd have to add? -
Think we might need some significant muscle alongside the kid. His play-style will draw nasty attn.

Glenmorangie once again..a well I keep revisiting. Pretty light & easy to drink, for any newbies on the lurk...

Gillis was an opportunist, with nice timing. JB an illiterate miner, who preferred to toil in anonymity. Aside from the title, they had nothing in common.

That guy was a shameless attn-wh*re. Soccer 'tenders are irrelevant. Net is just too F***ing big - thus, reduced to gimmicks. Phil 'Lofty' Parks would kick his arse too! :^) Mahn, who remembers attending 1970's Whitecaps games, with that awesome theme song?! Then I recall diff players being serenaded by fans, hoping for magic... "Willllieee our saviour...give us a gooooaaallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!" Then you'd hear the shakes/screams as the rickety roller coaster(right behind the stadium) was plunging for another turn. It was such a memorable atmosphere...

Teams you cheer for other than us
Nuxfanabroad replied to Alflives's topic in General Hockey Discussion
Ottawa gets my sympathy-vote. Got some family out there, as my Uncle had a Gov't career before he passed on. Also grew up a Habs fan, as the parents came from the maritimes, & everyone on my Dad's side loved Mtl for decades. In the late-80's got kinda bored with their play-style..the late 70's Hab dynasty spoiled that fanbase. The Canucks just stole my heart after that spirited battle in '89, with Trev, Rhino & a buncha no-names. Been die-hard since then. -
