[Rumour] Canucks Getting Calls on Luke Schenn
Jester13 replied to Warhippy's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Anyone else getting the sense that a deal has been made but they're waiting to announce it to protect Schenn right now from having to deal with the media fire when it does get announced? Let him make the move in peace right now, then when he and his wife are ready, announce it and answer questions and all of that at that time. -
[Rumour] Canucks interested in Sam Malinski
Jester13 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Free prospects are great, but I have a question for those who know more/better: are NCAA players as coveted as years past? I say this because it seems like more and more guys that are coveted are already pretty old, so I wonder if NCAA players are as impactful as they used to be? -
(Rumour) 4 teams interested in J.T. Miller

If he wants it. -
I listen to him every day as well. Again, what some fans (you) see as negative, others (me) see as realistic and honest about the team and its players. Let's take the example of Bear, because it's a good one. Drance thought it was a good move. Probably still does, because it still is. It's debatable if he's our 2nd best dman, but it's not an outrageous take to say he is. And maybe we haven't heard much about Bear from Drance for a while because there might just be some other, more pressing topics to cover? Drance has worked in the NHL for quite some time now. To say he's a journalist as if that ruins credibility for his love/insight for analytics is unfair. Again, the issue is not what he has to say, it's how he says it. I just think his detractors might learn something from hearing what he has to say if they can figure out their triggers. I mean, no one slams Jamie Dodd for agreeing with Drance on basically everything he has to say. Why would no one say Jamie is so negative all the time? Anyways. Game is on.

I listen to him every day and don't see him as negative at all but rather fair, honest, and realistic, so please enlighten me on what's he negative about? Surely you can offer at least one specific example where's he's being "negative". Maybe the "that's not good enough" is a good place to start: What's he referring to with this take?

It's not really what he says but how he says it that gets under people's skin. But, I think what gets missed the most by fans that hate him so much is that the bar he has set, and to which all his points are directed towards, is an elite Stanley Cup contending team, not just a WC or middle of the pack playoff team. This is what I like about him, because he sets the highest bar possible and talks about how we can actually get there.

I'm with you on your take of Drance. People who constantly bash him don't actually hear him and what his points are. If they did, they'd understand him better. He has lots of great insight. But good luck trying to find anyone who will actually argue Drance's points, point by point, as they'll quickly resort to bashing him without ever discussing his points.

Teams are calling to ask if they're even interested in moving him. -
(Rumour). Jake Livingstone D - NCAA - NHL Availability

I'd like to think that, but I don't see it. It's a lot to take on for a new player to jump in and be expected (because you know Canucks fans will expect it) to be part of the solution to turn this retool into a contender. This is why I've said before that his BC connection might be there still to entice him to join this gong show, but without that connection, I'd say our chances are slim.
