  1. Give me a Canadian kid that can go to the tough areas and put the fucking puck in the net. That's what this team is sorely missing. The last thing we need is another player that plays the perimeter in a cycling fashion(our PP speaks for itself on that topic)
  2. Here's a thought, does any top 5 team draft Thatcher Demko as they need a goalie enough, or does a top 5 go off the board leaving us Drasaitl or Dal Colle? (Or highly unlikely 1 of the top 3 fall to us)
  3. We were officially out last game as the stars and yotes play eachother on the last game of the year...
  4. This was the team I heard had an offer accepted in principle but had to be approved by ownership and who even knows if he (Kes)would have waived....heard kinda the same as your saying it was but a 1st,2nd and some D I'd never heard of. Also it was also allegedly leaked to a Pittsburgh paper that gillis wasn't allowed to trade Kes, but like you said....who knows for sure. Edit: Anaheim and my phone quote thingy is being r-Tarded
  5. Lmao!!!!! Kesler ain't going no where until maybe trade deadline in the final year of his contact. And secondly it doesn't matter if its league sanctioned....if Aquilini wants he can fire gillis at anytime. So if gillis wants to make millions easily, he will do as told.
  6. It don't matter what he wants. An insider leaked last night that; 1) Gillis was going to trade Kesler yesterday but Aquilini clearly let GMMG know that doing so would cost him his job immediately. FA believes Kesler will be vital to this teams rebuild and as such will not allow him to go until his contract is up. 2) The Lou trade. FA finally gave GMMG permission to move Loungo for whatever he could get to avoid a full buyout. Gillis approached Tallon & Tallon said that the exact same deal was on the table as last year, so the trigger was pulled. Had this move been done a year sooner we may still have had CS.(which apparently Gillis is pissed about) I used to hate GMMG & his incompetence but if "the water boy" is truly in the know makes me think gillis' hands are tied regularly and Aquilinis are micro manageing this thing
  7. Kesler will NEVER get traded, he'll walk as a UFA. That organisation internal leak says it all.
  8. I think torts'll give Markstrom the start. Get his nerves out of the way on the road.
  9. *He takes the trade and runs away laughing* Tatar= Shroeder 1st =(in this years draft will probably be a long shot for the nhl) Jurco....1pt/game in jrs playing with mackinnon does not equal kesler. The Pitts deal is better IMO & it sucks. Mantha or nyquist+ 1st or no deal.
  10. Aren't Philly, Pitts, Det & Chi on Kelsers list? Where do people keep getting CBJ from?
  11. He was in Sochi....were you? I mean it could be 100% true, but it doesn't mean Healy is any less of a douchebag.
  12. Soooo Johansen >>>>>Kesler & Murray>>>>>Edler ???? What do you think is fair worth when shooting down other proposals? Prehaps Kesler+ Edler for Columbus 2nd rd+Boll+Umberger?
  13. I'll agree that although Subban and Karlsson are quick and good with the puck, their defensive skill is a little bit suspect and I would take Schenn over Alberts and Y. Weber if the cap hit was reasonable, but 2+ million is to much to pay for a 6/7th guy.
  14. It is called defense and at the nhl level you have to have enough speed to do it effectively. You shouldn't have to rely on timmonen, mezaros, coburn, etc....to bail you out shift after shift. IMO whoever plays as Schenn's partner should win the Norris each year for doing the Job of two guys and the over compensating of Schenn's frack ups.
  15. Edler>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Luke Schenn And I don't even like Edler, figure he's a 4/5th d-man. Luke Schenn is one of the slowest defensman in the league. I seriously don't hope we're willing to pay a 2+ mil caphit for a shot blocking/hitting specialist....
  16. I see you're of the variety that believes players should be paid for what they've done, not what they're worth & what's best for the team. it's good too see. The sedins led us to a conference championship and I believe it's okay to cripple the franchise for 5ish years to reward them for that. Great people for the city of Vancouver. If there was any other good citizens there, it'd be a much better place. 85,300/game is definately worth haveing classy people as leaders of this team. I don't care if they're on a steady decline. Classy one-dimensional players are very hard to find in this day and age. I'd even love to have Malhotra back at 5 million/ year x 3. #WinnersOfClass /thread
  17. Agree whole heartidly, but I keep Bieksa and Burr. Tanev, Corrado, Stanton, Shink, Horvat & Kass, Lack are the only guys I don't consider moving. Why do I keep Juice and Burr? Cuz simply they hate losing. When the oilers started rebuilding, they didnt keep anyone like that, so their young guns accepted losing with the promise that one day everything will be better. That's where that attitude gets you.
  18. I would try to move both Sedins to Mtl for Subban +gionta or plekanec. If we get gionta back buy him out, take the cap space. If we get plekanec, either play him to see what he's got or try to flip him for a prospect+ a pick.
  19. Yaaaaay!!! Hanzal didn't even pay a price for that
  20. Agreed, the sedins look significantly slower already. I noticed last night when the pace dialed up a couple notches last night, Danny sure looked slow....they're puck movement is way slower too, which is throwing them off. I think the long dark days are gonna get here sooner than we think.
  21. Well.....some people just get a little frustrated with the process.
