  1. Love this, and now he's ours. I really like his game. Cap dump? Pfft.
  2. Bo floated back all the time. I think the C would be great for Miller. I see him stepping up and being accountable. Captaincy is a big deal, and I think he understands that.
  3. Confirmed: Beau > Bo I wanted this win so badly! Now we can lose every game from here on out. LFG!
  4. Agreed. Seeing Hughes without an A the other game makes me think he's not high on the list for captaincy. I think Miller is the guy.
  5. Miller wants the C. I say give it to him. He can handle all aspects and still wants to improve on controlling his fire. Now that the pressure of making the playoffs is over, I think we'll see a different side of him that's looking forward to building.
  6. The point was that Nemec, Mercer, and a late 1st is not enough to get it done - it's not lopsided enough, which is what people have been saying: we shouldn't be trading away an established #1 dman that we've waited 50 years for only to get back Mercer and some magic beans.
  7. I think I heard or read somewhere that NJ needs to fill the building, even though they're playing really well now, and that the marketing aspect is why they would even consider overpaying to get him. I still don't think a 2nd would get it done. Throw in Holtz or something. They have so many assets to overpay, so it might just happen, but GMPA has the leverage. If they want him, they really do need to overpay to get him.
  8. I doubt they would, but he's also going to be 30yo in a few months, so I'd pass on him.
  9. If Hughes was a UFA then I'd be more interested, but he's locked up and a guaranteed asset. There's also team chemistry with Hughes that's a factor. NJ would still have to add another piece.
  10. But Nemec might be as good as Hughes, and the late first might be a Pasternak or someone else! Reminds me of Family Guy and Peter's mystery box. This is why it has to be an overpayment, because Mercer is proven, but the other two assets are not. If they want to add another proven roster player then management would think long and hard about it, but I don't think Nemec, Mercer, and a 1st is enough.
  11. Allow me to clarify that he hasn't proven anything at the NHL level yet whereas Hughes certainly has. I did clarify my thoughts on Mercer, and I definitely didn't say he hasn't proven anything. But the whole "magic beans" trope is what concerns people, as Nemec might not work out and the late 1st might not either, yet we have a proven #1 dman already on our team, who is ripping it up every year with us and still getting better.
  12. I think because of what many have mentioned: Nemec hasn't proven anything yet and the 1st will be a late one (Mercer would be a great addition). And because we've waited 50 years for a dman like Hughes, and he's young and proven and still getting better. They would still have to add to make it enticing.
  13. Stillman makes how much? Dermott will ask for how much? Hajek makes league minimum? This makes too much sense.
  14. If Bo hits one of our guys tonight then you know he has beef with him and there truly was division in the locker room. Edit: oops, let me put this right away so some posters know this is a joke about Bo's lack of physicality.
  15. OEL - Nemec Wolanin - Bear Dermott - Schenn/Myers Still not good enough.
  16. Trade him for a 2nd or 3rd and re-sign him in the summer. EZPZ.
  17. I like this plan. Jarry is really good, but Sil and Blom are much younger and could be a very good tandem for years to come for us. I'm in.
  18. I think BB was too easy on him, mixed with Miller caring for BB as a person so much that it seemed to have inflamed his passion when things weren't going well for the team and BB was rumoured to be on the hot seat.
  19. Anyone have a sense of what Jarry would be asking for with a contract? Maybe a trade with Pitts could work but with a contract in place for us? It would likely have to be more than what Demko's is, but with some assets in return, the cap going up, etc., maybe it'd be worth it?
  20. Unfortunately, there's no guarantee that we can sign Jarry, but I would do this in a heartbeat.
  21. I listen to Canucks Talk every day and don't see what you see. Any specific examples that grind your gears that we can discuss?
