  1. ‘Deserve’ has nothing to do with it or anything It is what it is.
  2. NHL 2021: Explaining escrow, deferred payments and how it can impact the upcoming season https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nhl/news/nhl-2021-escrow-deferred-payments-impact-upcoming-season/1kxjmdivo5j8p1a8v24yvggd3v
  3. Doesn’t matter where you live bud. If you’re a fan of the Nucks, then you’re a fan. I support your support. Boston earned the Cup. Plain and simple. But, you keep on posting. Happy to have you here.
  4. With the play of the team recently, plus recent acquisitions of players, plus a Coach that has an accountable and defensive structure, why wouldn’t Petey want to stay? Totally rhetorical question. I know you get it. Petey is going to get rewarded no matter if he gets to 100 or doesn’t. He’s the best player on the team and will be salaried accordingly. That’s not even an issue. 90 points or 110 points or something in between still means that Petey will have the highest salary and term. If you’re Petey and you know you’re going to get the best salary and term possible, then what are you worried about? Maybe the team around you?
  5. Started drunk like me. Then sobered up in the middle of the post, then took another sip and rekt posted at the end. Luv you.
  6. You beat me for the drunkest post today. BUT, I have a bottle of Pinot Grigio and two shots of vodka left. I’m comin for your title!
  7. Not a bad take, but it’s either sign him, wait for arbitration, which could sour relations, or wait to see if there’s an offersheet, OR, just do a bridge deal. Some avenues are better than others.
  8. Playing players huge minutes makes no sense. Miller, Hughes, Petey. Why is the organization allowing them to go HAM? They’re already signed. They’ve shown recently that they can win. I like that the Abby boys are getting so much time and opportunity. Why not continue that? Podz and Kravs are still 4th line minutes. Give them more. Bring up Hogz. Let him gel with potential linemates. Keep Demmer game restricted. He just came off an injury. Why play him so much, especially now? Get Silovs out there for the majority of the games. He’s got a ton of talent to be a legit backup. I dunno man, it doesn’t make sense to try a fight for a non-playoff spot and kill any chance of getting the best prospect that could add to the lineup in a couple/three years that adds more skill into the lineup when the team actually has a shot of making a play for the Finals(Conference or Cup). Just my take on it.
  9. Sure. Nothing wrong in enjoying hockey. No argument from me. I enjoy the the boys gaining confidence in their game and showing that they can play winning hockey. I just don’t want the organization to get the worser pick. It’s the worsest.
  10. True. It’s a deep draft. But ‘deep draft’ means that any of the top 5 are typically considered top players or top picks. If the Nucks draft at around 12 or so, then it’s a crapshoot. The Nucks have an easier schedule now and they’re surging. That doesn’t help the team either. I love the fact that the team is gelling. I love that Tik Tocchet is bringing in systems to make the team better, but I hate the fact that the team isn’t allowing itself to draft at the best spot possible. I could go on, but my turret hurts.
  11. Not with the way the Nucks are playing. Canucks are doomed to a middle pick. *sad tank noises*
  12. He’s not wrong though. Canucks aren’t making the playoffs. All they’re doing is screwing the draft choice.
  13. It also has to be paid by this Draft. Who has a 1st, 2nd, 3rd? That’s an interesting scenario for teams that are looking to make a push next year. Would love to know which teams have that and are willing to spend that much for someone who, like others have said, doesn’t have a large sample size? Good thought experiment though.
  14. I suspect that the Nucks will sign Hronek. He has a good fit here and will be assured a better playing opportunity than with most other clubs.
  15. Hronek isn’t being offered that though. Currently. If some team offersheets him, then yes, that return is the standard value. That could be less compensation than the team gave up though if the offering team is higher in the standings than the Nucks are. Or, less compensation of the NYI’s 1st.
  16. Not signing Hronek this summer or beforehand, means the team could lose a 1st a 2nd for nothing if another team swoops in and offersheets him. That’s unacceptable. Hronek will be signed. The only question is term and amount.
