[PGT] Vancouver Canucks at New York Islanders | Feb. 09, 2023
Jester13 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Love this, and now he's ours. I really like his game. Cap dump? Pfft. -
(Rumour) 4 teams interested in J.T. Miller

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. -

Confirmed: Beau > Bo I wanted this win so badly! Now we can lose every game from here on out. LFG! -
(Rumour) 4 teams interested in J.T. Miller

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. -

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. -
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.

[Waivers] Libor Hajek, Linus Hogberg

Stillman makes how much? Dermott will ask for how much? Hajek makes league minimum? This makes too much sense. -
[Rumour] Canucks Getting Calls on Luke Schenn
Jester13 replied to Warhippy's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Trade him for a 2nd or 3rd and re-sign him in the summer. EZPZ. -
[Rumour] Canucks getting calls on Thatcher Demko
Jester13 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
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. -
Is Elias Pettersson Happy In Vancouver? | 32 Thoughts (Sportsnet)
Jester13 replied to Canuck You's topic in Canucks Talk
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. -
[Rumour] Canucks getting calls on Thatcher Demko
Jester13 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
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? -
[Signing] Islanders re-sign Bo Horvat
Jester13 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
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?
