  1. Shink sucked too. Hahaha. I know what you mean though. Shink just had that feeling of potential fire around him. I never got that with Guadette.
  2. So I gotta say, I kinda agree with Button here. Ehile it would be cool to sign him, we could just as easily sign someone else, possibly better. And we wouldn’t have to do it before the Expansion Draft. Tryamkin camp obviously wants to get this done ASAP, and will be putting pressure on the Canucks to get it done. That means he needs to be protected in the expansion draft. Id wait him out, or sign someone else. lots to pick from
  3. No we didn’t. Im not even a Gaudette fan. He is a scrawny little boy who doesn’t have enough skill to make up for his lack of size. Not good enough to be a top 6, and doesn’t have the skill set to be effective in the bottom 6. Even with all that being said, we still lost the trade. Highmore is a nothing player. I’m sure he is a great fella, but the NHL won’t be his long term career, unless he is great at sharpening skates or something. AG sucks, but is still much better than Highmore. Expansion draft fodder doesn’t mean a thing here either. We could have exposed AG and still not lost him. (Remember he kinda sucks). I’d rather just get a 4-5 round pick, or hide him on the taxi squad
  4. I was almost on board with your post and drafting a goalie in the high 1st, until you said “and we have a 29-30 year old Demko mentoring him into the starting role” Thats still so young for a goalie. I feel like if Demko is our guy now and in the future, you gotta think at 29-30 he is still gonna be pretty damn good, and for a while still. I think we can wait at least another 2-3 years before we start thinking about drafting starting goalies. We still need defence and center prospects. Even a couple high end wingers are needed. Not to mention we have Dipietro still looking like a player. Brandt Clarke is my pick for this year if somehow he is available. Him and Hughes together for 10 years would be wild
  5. Nice rebuttal. Get back to class.
  6. How ridiculous. The kid has plenty of time and has shown well in his short time in the NHL. His injuries have held him back big time, and he is still trying to get his knee strength and skating back. It takes a loooong time. That alone is a major reason why he hasn’t been in games, and obviously CAN and most likely will be corrected. AHL + - Really? You are going to talk about that? Hahahah lets say this. It’s probably not goi g to look great when you are pretty well playing on one leg. And considering he is still rehabbing that knee, it’s fair to say it was bad last year. Good size and under weight? Quinn Hughes says hi. Caught out of position some times? A rookie? No way. Get out of town. Lol! How damn dramatic do we really need to be?
  7. That wasn’t a running joke. That is a well known thing that has happen dozens of times through the years.
  8. Nahhhh. He gets 3 games because he deserves them. Id go with 2 myself, but let’s take the blinders off here. It was a fairly garbage play by Edler. It happens. He deserves a suspension. That’s not saying he meant to do it, but you gotta be in control and he wasn’t. Not to take anything away from who he is as a player or blah blah blah........ it was a bad hit and he deserves a couple games.
  9. We have a lot more games than the others. We will rise a bit.
  10. The Canucks are dropping fast with not playing games. When they come back, the majority of the team will still be recovering from covid. Chances are we are going to lose more than 10 of those last 19 games. Probably closer to 12-14 IMO. That leaves us in a great spot. Top 7? My vote goes for Brandt Clarke. Right side dman who can play both sides and push the play. Great future partner for Hughes?
  11. I’m protecting Lind before Virtanen personally. But the Bowey thing makes sense.
  12. Well, That’s a dog Pooh move if I’ve ever seen one. But hey, JB’s gotta JB
