  1. i'm not knowledgable enough about coaching to make those determinations unless this is just a popularity contest.
  2. i think green is a good coach that will be resigned. imo, the hold up is what he wants and what they want tp pay. most important business is signing petey and quinn. if JB is let go, all bets are off.
  3. which players have personally told you that?
  4. i predict, JB will pick up a D-man from a team, not wanting to lose him for nothing. i admit though it could also be a spot of dirt on my crystal ball.

      The Canucks picked up Madison Bowey at the deadline. I think that's what you meant. :)

      i mean a top 4 d-man. there will be some available unless those teams, work out deals with seattle or deal with other clubs.

  5. if they pick 8th, who will be their best pick?
  6. i agree. i've penciled him on rw on 4th line with graovac and motte for next year. with his speed, he can fill in up the line up if need be. if gadjoviich and lind can grabs spots next season, JB will have to thin out the bottom six crowded picture.
  7. can you mix covid shots? my grandson got a shot. didn't know which kind. now he moved to vancouver and will get next shot there. will mixing kinds have adverse effects?

      If he was issued a vaccine card but lost it or something tell him to phone vaccine BC they should be able to tell him as all the cards are scanned into a database.

      i could just phone the metis assoc and find out which doses they give out. i used to be the vice president of our district here. maybe he has a card but was too lazy to look at it and tell me what kind it was.

      honestly i'd call the hospital for help dont think CDC is the right place, they should have it on his file, no?, i got my card saying which one and took photos on my phone for backup.

  8. i get the feeling if cdc gm's made the trades, we would be in a weaker spot than we're in now. some good ideas but a gm has to rely on his scouts and personell to make the right decisions. we don't have to be accountable for our opinions. if JB says 2 more years and we tade JT and BO for draft picks, how many years will it be , 4 before we're competitive?
  9. i like graovac between motte and highmore, but i'ld like to see miller flanked by podkolzin and a lw., horvat between pearson and someone like lind, wth petey between boeser and hoglander or a physical lw'er. each center would have a rookie to support and help. hogs could plat with petey or miller.each center should have 2 good defensive forwards on his line.
  10. seattle gets 3rd. unless we lose our remaining games, i see us 5th or 6th. we could end up higher than nj, columbus and detroit. calgary is iffy.
  11. where have you been alfie? still motoring around on your scooter? blue cross paid almost all of the 5500.00 of my new one. how has life been treating you? plenty of scotch?

      Hi Joe,

       

      I was scootering around the condo mostly. But got the vaccine a while back, and been getting out more. I missed running over people’s toes downtown.  

      Still enjoy a good scotch. 

      Alf does like to live. :)

  12. falcon at 6, wow. he must have insider knowledge. your the leader falc.
  13. is there any prospects that are nhl ready for next year?
  14. we all agree with that, but who can replace him? i'ld be happy to welcome one onto this team.
  15.  did anybodies draft list change after the junior tourney? i was impressed with edvinsson, lysell and clarke.

      wrong shot d-man but i think edvinsson could be a new edler. clarke fills a need, but right now we need a minute muncher #1 d-man who is really good defensively. all the d-men in the draft bring something but who fills our greatest need?

      Liked Mctavish and Allan a lot.  Stankoven must have shot up a lot of lists after his performance.  Already wanted Edvinsson if we miss out on Power.

      Tuomaala, Lysell, really impressed me.

       

      Svechkov further solidified himself as a top 10 pick on my board. 

       

      Clarke is still 1st over all for me.

       

      McTavish moved the needle a bit I now have him just outside my top ten. 

       

      Heimosalmi, and Ceulemans were very nice surprises. 

       

      I don't think Salminen lost a single faceoff all tournament obviously thats an exaggeration but not much of one. He knows how to slide into open space and has a wicked shot. He plays a power fwd game. If he can improve his pace he could potentially be a second round steal. 

       

      Dissapointments:

      Guenther, Edvinsson, I'm still high on these 2 players however I expected a more dominant performance from them.

  16. it could be right, but i can't prove it. managers don't always tell the truth but neither does the players agents.
  17. you might be right but i won't want to risk my money on it. green tries to put the players in a position where they can succeed. we all agree that edler is nearing his end but he does allow guys like highes, juolevi and rathbone to progress in their development. i could be wrong but i don't see schmidt, myers or harmonic as true #1's, i wish we had a couple. time will tell.
  18. both accounts could be right. JB may have offered 2x3, while tryamkin way have wanted 4x3. JB could have said, we'll pay you what you want but to give you a 2 way contract so if your not one of top six d-men we can play you in me minors for 1 mil a year. try would have balked at that and decided to stay in russia. i'm not saying that is true but we don't know all the particulars. we just voice our opinions. we might be right but we may also be wrong. unless you were in on the conversation, we can only speculate.
  19. i agree with you partly but i still don't think there is any top pairing defensemen on that list, yet. who can munch the minutes edler does. we all agree, eddie has slowed down and is nearing the end but who is going to replace him? maybe a guy like edvinsson. i hope they find someone and let edler retire gracefully.
  20. let us know when the team finds someone to take over, maybe edvinsson.
  21. imo, we still don't have a #1 defense pair. quinn isn't there yet. what edler does, even at his age and declining foot speed, is munch minutes. if JB can find those players, then i hope eddie retires. not often those players come available or cheaply enough to sign. case in point OEL. we have lots of 2nd and 3rd pairing defensemen, just not top pairing ones. i think that is why, JB tried so hard to get OEL.
  22. did everyone notice that hogs was going to try the lacrosse shot but couldn't get the puck to settle down.

      It's only a matter of time 

  23. maybe buffalo will fire their gm and we can get him. then we could fire our owners and get nj's owner.
  24. who won 2020 dead pool contest?
