    Unless they trade away a valuable asset, be it a good player or a draft pick, or do a hefty buyout, they will simply have to live with this D-core we have until the all the bad JB Contracts have run their course.  Until then, don't expect much of a change.    It is what it is and no amount of wishful thinking will make this d-core any better than the last sveral years.  they stink and we all know it.    In the meantime, lets just hope that we can outscore the opponents and squeek in the playoffs.

    The point I wanted to discuss is, if there are no changes at the blueline, how can Bruce prove against that "relying on goaltending too much to win games" thing?

    [Rumour] J.T. Miller Trade/Contract Talks

    Probably a first if you’re not taking any cap back. He has a 10 team no trade list clause. That doesn’t help your chances moving him. Neither does the fact that he has another year at 6M. 
     

    Monahan is a worse player but had 1 year left at 6.375M. Myers has 2 years left at 6M. Like Myers Monahan has a 10 team no trade list. 
     

    Myers is a decent defenseman but you can get better value players than him. I mean we’re trying to because there is only so much cap that can go around. 
     

    If you retained then there might be a decent market for him but that wouldn’t help you get cap compliant. 

     

    The best you might be able to do is trade him for a lesser player who only has a year left but even then who can do that. 
     

    Above all else right now cap’s a premium. 

    The Hamonic/Senators trade few months ago amazes me even more!

    What are your unpopular Canuck opinions?

    Not directly Canucks related, but

     

    I just don't like the fact that after years and decades, Vancouver is still a one-team-city.

     

    Don't the Whitecaps and Lions have a season GOING ON right now?  Why the media put 90% of the focus on J.T. Miller while nothing is actually going on?

     

    I understand the NBA and the potential investors may hesitate when talking about bringing back an NBA team, but I just don't see the passion from the Vancouver fans and community, comparing to the Sonics fans and Nordiques fans who want their teams back badly!

    Sorry I didn't closely follow this.  But isn't he already 26 years old (i.e. not a rookie any more), and he's been playing in the KHL (the most wealthy league in Europe I suppose)?

     

    What would make him want to play overseas under an entry level deal? 

    How much is he earning in the K?

     

     

    Again sorry I didn't closely follow this; I thought it was a bidding war when I first heard about him.

     

    Timrå stays in SHL after relegation games, first time ever no Stockholm team is in the top league

    I live in the UK and have this argument with my football friends who just don't get how we don't have relegation in our league. It's just not something we are used to and I don't really think it would work with the way our leagues are set up. Plus very often the teams that bump up end up going straight back down the next year so it doesn't really solve the bottom feeder team issue.

    I believe the North American way actually sounds strange to the Europeans.

     

    I remember some NHL analysts mentioned it before.  This league REWARDS bad teams (with high draft picks).  If you are not used to the N.A. way, it feels uncomfortable watching teams "tank" in purpose.

     

    Outside of the N.A., a bad team should be kicked out from the top league, instead of having an advantage over the other teams which have better records.

     

    In the N.A. the market size determines if a team stays in the top league or not, instead of the win/lose records.
