  1. I also think this could be posturing by management. They already know Bo will reject it and are just trying to make it look like they’re doing everything they can. Easier for fans to swallow trading the captain if they believe he’s chasing a payday. Also calls the bluff of teams that think they can get him for cheap because we can’t re-sign him.
  2. This is why you should always refer to @Alflivesas your source and not someone named “cheesetits”
  3. I think they still believe they can dump the likes of Myers, OEL, Boeser, Pearson etc. Maybe they‘vegot deals in place and buyouts as backup. Because if they don’t they’re not gonna be able to improve the team.
  4. You mean Dhaliwal doesn’t know everything that is going on with this team?!? I believe his words were that the Canucks “refused” to meet with him. Lol
  5. That’s up to Bo and his agent. They’re taking about a contract offer not a trade offer.
  6. No they don’t. But they said they would look into drafting him again if they knew he was coming over.
  7. I don’t see this as incompetence. I see this as four cops looking to take out their anger on him for making them look foolish. Like how did he get away the first time. Seriously…
  8. Bunch of organized thugs hiding behind a badge. No better than the criminals they’re supposed to be putting behind bars. Thank god for cameras catching everything now. Just think about how long this has been happening with no evidence. What happened to defund the police? Seems like that lost all its momentum.
  9. I’d rather have an undersized defenseman that can make quick reads and smart decisions with the puck than an oversized defenseman that runs around like a giraffe in heat…
  10. I mean he could very well be 100% healthy and pass any medical exam. It would more come down to Clark’s demands and what he thinks about his long term ability to play the style that he needs to play. Same thing happened to Luongo. He was never the same after his groin injury. He just couldn’t move side to side efficiently and often got exposed.
  11. I mean I would think it means they’ve got a goalie coming back as part of a package. Or they believe that Clark can turn average goalies into really good goalies so why invest so much in one? Or there’s also the possibility of a trade request. But I agree I don’t think it really makes sense unless there’s belief he’ll never regain his top form.
  12. They’re high on a guy that is struggling at the ECHL level? You can find better goalies than him for free out of the KHL or SHL.
  13. Cossa’s a bust. I would take the other three pieces just for Horvat though.
  14. I trust him more than Friedman tbh That’s actually a good nickname for Elliotte by the way!
  15. It seems like some people would rather be sold hope. Like sure if we acquire a bunch of picks and hit on the majority of them maybe we’ll be good in 6 years. But as we’ve seen that’s no guarantee. 10 years down the road and we still haven’t replaced the talent that we had in Pettersson and Hughes, and fans wondering what if? There are no guarantees in either plan. I’d rather not wonder what we could have built with two of the best young players we’ve ever had though.
  16. That’ll teach him to get off the tracks when a crazed giraffe is barreling down on him.
  17. Also it’s about what we can develop him into more than what he is now. If they believe there’s another level to his game and he’s just a late bloomer or needs a change of scenery. Maybe Gonchar can get him back on the development path. With our lack of depth we can absolutely afford to take a look. Especially if it also gave us extra cap space.
  18. So many Canucks fans in denial about what the team is doing. They’re not rebuilding. I don’t know how many times they have to say it. What the fans want doesn’t matter. People need to stop getting mad when they make moves in line with exactly what they said they were gonna do. People are like “why didn’t we trade this guy for picks!?!” Or “why don’t they trade Horvat and Miller?” Just stop. Those are rebuilding moves. They’re not rebuilding.
  19. He’s 26. This team plans on being competitive in 2 years. He fits with that timeline.
  20. Except he doesn’t have trouble defending and would give us another D man that can actually skate. No one’s saying this would fix the D. He could be a good compliment to the D core though.
  21. Get him to the WHL! It ain’t working over there.
  22. This has no bearing on their trades. They’ve already said they’ll use buyouts if they can’t clear cap.
