[Waivers] Dennis Cholowski
86Viking replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Take him and is potential over an aging vet in Hunt that is for sure! -
Where is Torts now... People just being stupid, for them I hope you get Covid, serves all them right for acting like children...marching into schools, spitting on hospital staff...Like get bent, if that happened to my wife I would go deal with it myself

I am not live, but is McWhiner not play a cheap game so far? Made a "dangerous" play going to the net that sent Hughes steaming into the net. The same guy that whined about Tanev taking using his stick to get the puck and called that dangerous... Then he looks like he hid OEL with an elbow or shoulder, was surprised there was no penalty...didn't see a replay so did OEL try to embelish it of did McNugget hit him in a dirty way? There is no toughness on the team to go after any opponent, but nobody should be afraid to hit him imo... Chiasson looks slow and horrible and he is our #1RW option, thank goodness BB6 will be back soon so that guy can sit in the press box where he belongs

This is a solid contract, had similar impact to his team as EP did in his playoff appearance. This is exactly what EP should have got or something no more than 8.5m with an 8yr term, time will tell in 3 years to see what EP has done and what we need to commit to him. I think salaries need to be limited after an ELC, I don't follow MLB at all but teams have quite a bit of control over young players...something the NHL needs imo. Hughes if he can get better in his D zone will be worth his contract, but if he is 1 dimensional and on a PP D not a PK one then his deal is an overpayment too. Selfish young players with greedy agents are ruining this league. If Suzuki continues to improve this contract is going to look fantastic for MTL

[Signing] Canucks sign Alex Chiasson

Oh no there was better options the coach just didn't want to use them, Gadjovich, Lockwood and Di Gusieppe all had very good training camps and pre seasons and all 3 SHOULD be on the team, but instead we have Hunt, Burroughs, Petan and a god damn PTO Chiasson... -

People want to say Green gave Virtanen a chance....HAHAHAHA ya right! Kid got coached by him in the AHL and where was he in that lineup, bottom 6! Did Green ever play Virtanen in his drafted position of LW...UHHH NOPE! But did Green play Hoglander on his off wing as a rookie UHHH YUP. This team will never win jack $&!# with a $&!#ty coach like Green, the team should have moved on from him but the GM has NO balls or the OWNER doesn't...he sings the praise of TO maple LAFF waiver claims last year, what does he have to say about the recent top 6 picks gone and 2 2nd rounders gone in favour of a PTO player and AHL signings in Petan, Burroughs, Hunt... Take your homer glasses off people, this team has messed up HUGE under this GM and Coach -
Would be great to see a local company like CHEK TV pick up and broadcast the Baby Canucks games...I mean it should be Sportsnet but this is the west coast so we will endure 4 channels of LAFF highlights instead...

Politicians...never can you ever rely on anything they say...public health officials are just their puppets, earning a great wage and pension to be the brunt of this entire pandemic. Trudeau has done many foolish things since Covid start, yet Canadians still voted him back

If Chiasson gets more minutes and opportunity over Podkolzin....the team needs to fire the Coach, they should have moved on from Green last off season...JB has a get out of jail free card he can use in the first half of the season if we stink and younger players get limited ice. When I go to a game I want to see the young guys get given a chance, Pod has shown good drive to the net and will only get better with...MORE ice time. Welcome to the Canucks 1st RW Chiasson...hopefully you'll be on waivers within a month or 2 when we get some players back -
[Rumour] Blackhawks open to moving Dylan Strome
86Viking replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Strome doesn't fit our need, think he is offensive but not a PK type player and foot speed issues? -
I wonder if Hamonic has been dealing with something similar to Carey Price? Mental health illness can affect anyone, even the million athletes we tend to bitch about and come up with conclusions on our own when we really know jack $&!# about his situation. I hope Hamonic figures out whatever he is dealing with and at some point he can join Abbotsford to get some conditioning games under his belt before joining the big club. People need to stop overthinking the Hamonic situation, let it play out and in the meantime...mind your own business maybe!> The GM has made it sound like it is NOT something small, time will tell if and when we find out the TRUE reason

but not for Orca Bay it isn't...

It would have meant we never trade the 9th pick in this past summers draft to get OEL either. Meaning we would be clear of all the dead cap after this season. Or could have used that 9th pick and tried to get a RHD with it. This team is going nowhere under JB and TG, the lines assembled this pre season where a joke. The team never gave their own 2nd round picks Gadjovich or Woo anywhere near the same playing time as recent off season cast offs we had brought in for Abbotsford...

I could see us put a claim on Turris, Stenlund( my pick) or Alex barre Boulet (over ppg in A for TB farm team) -
Solid deal for NYR No!? Would have loved EP40 to not be so greedy and taken a long term Draisatl deal...could have been a steal just like Leon's turned out to be...Oh Well see how EP does then back the brinks truck up for him in 3 years I suppose!? Zib is a very good player and a C too, but he is older but still would have got more than that as a FA I think if he had a PPG or higher this year

Couldn't trade Hamonic but maybe a behind the scenes agreemenr for a team to pick him up off waivers for free?? Give us the 3m cap space? -

EP and QH both held out and far exceed being the 2 highest plaid Canucks players...that we have given contracts too! When you start making that kind of $$$ you are going to be under a microscope and people will start to hate on them faster due to their huge salary with minimal time in the NHL! They will both learn and get better, when healthy this is what I want the top 9 to be... Miller EP Boeser Pod/Pearson Bo Garland Pearson/Podkolzin Dickinson Hoglander With Hogs motor I would like to maybe keep him on line 3, where he can become the leader who sets the tone for his linemates. JT does that for his line and Bo does for his
