  1. He'd be interesting if he could be have for one of our lesser prospects, but I don't imagine that's likely. I'm not interested in giving up Juolevi, Madden, Lind, ect. I've got more confidence in the guys we've drafted and poured time into than I do in Andersson being able to flip a switch and up his game for us. If he feels entitled to NHL time with NHL players (and I'm not sure he does) ahead of players we've got who have already paid their dues I especially don't want him.
  2. Definitely, there are so many reasons to keep them out east. Less travel time, more practice time, easier travel, an established and passionate fanbase. Our young guys don't need to be exposed to the microscope that the lower mainland can be, they can deal with that if they make the jump. They shouldn't have to put up with the fans and media the way guys who've made the jump do.
  3. Are you sure Virtanen is the sort to have a church? I get Petey and all, but what about Jake's hit on McJesus?
  4. Props to Jake too, he's really coming on This is why the Canucks have been patient with him
  5. We scored on our chances, our special teams stepped up, we play hard defensively, and Marky did the rest Gosh, we sure are lucky
  6. This is one of those games where we manage to score on limited chances and Marky does the rest Props to our special teams too
  7. I'm on winter break, I can go outside and do things and homework can't stop me
  8. Edmonton and Mike Smith deserve each other

      Research reveals he's no Hasek.

  9. At the very least he's making better money this season, gotta be happy for a bubble guy.
  10. I'm a big fan of suffering Also, I was born on Van Isle
  11. LA's roster is top heavy and their better players are 30 or on the wrong side of 30, they may be better than Anaheim now but all that does it keep them mediocre as opposed to terrible. They also lack cap flexibility, the only contracts expiring in the near future outside of Toffoli belong to players who will be looking for raises. And that isn't helped by having almost 11m in dead cap space next season by Richards, Kovalchuk, and Phaneuf. Anaheim's salary structure is a bit more spread out, with Getzlaf capping the list at 8.25m. I'll be surprised if Kesler plays again, which allows them to stash that almost 7m on LTIR. Eaves are his LTIR'd 3m expire this season. Perry's buyout will hit em for just over 6m next season but with few players deserving of significant raises that won't hurt em too much. Almost every contract Anaheim has will expire within the two seasons after this one, they've got a fair bit of roster flexibility. Both teams are looking at a rebuild, but I'd rather have the flexibility of Anaheim's scenario tbh. They don't have too many pieces to move, but neither does LA really. They could get a great package for Doughty, but I'll be surprised if he's ever traded. Same goes for Kopitar. Nobody's taking on Brown or Quick. Carter's 34 but he might get a decent return.
  12. Anaheim's in a bit of an odd spot, they have players that could but probably shouldn't move as they rebuild. The only thing going for them is they seem to draft alright and they've been in rebuild territory for a while. They're in a better position than LA, certainly. I could see Kase maybe being moved, he's just turned 24 and has a 20 goal season under his belt. It'll be interesting to see how they approach things, I could see them taking their time.
  13. Habs did us a favour knocking off Calgary in OT Minny might do us one too Need a big third period
  14. I don't even care if we lose at this point so long as someone runs Holden
