  1. Not you. Tryamkin and his agent Niel Diamond or whatever. Just when I thought the Tryamkin saga was finally over.
  2. Kes went on to be one of the worst signing in the NHL. I'd say that was a better trade. Bo may get overpaid but his extension will never be as bad as Kes's. JB got a haul for a player who's best hockey was well in the rear view. Bo has good years in front of him.
  3. I have been pretty harsh on MGMT. A lot of what they have done has really rubbed me the wrong way so I decided t make a list of pro's and cons since they arrived. Pro -Hamonic for a 3rd -Mikheyev signing -Kuzzmenko signing -Thank goodness they got a 1st hard to swallow cost but depending on who they pick this trade could work out. - Kids to the farm -Bains, Aman, -Bear Meh -Miller extension felt he was a good trade chip that could have helped long term -Kuzzmenko re signing felt he was a good trade chip that could have helped long term -Bo trade I don't hate it but I'm not thrilled with it. I don't think it was necessary would have preferred to move Miller or have both and not Brock and flip Kuzz would have been ideal. Con -3rd for Dermott -Brock re signing 6.65m country club soft slow player should not have been signed -Treatment of Bruce there it is -Dilution of our wings there are too many bodies and not enough ice. So much money tied up on wingers that we are discussing good players like Garland who was top 30 5v5 last year and 7th in penalties drawn as potential cap dumps. -Lekkerimaki pick these picks are gold small scoring 1 way wingers even good ones get traded all the time for peanuts -Stillman So I guess overall it looks pretty even I give new MGMT a meh!
  4. NY is fun to visit. I wouldn't want to live there or raise kids there.
  5. (Rumour) Nux have given permission for Boeser’s agent to talk to other teams
  6. My point was he isn't scoring away from Miller Pete Bo The majority of his points come as the benefactor of his linemates
  7. But like naaaa. The issue is it's not like when he isn't scoring you can stick him anywhere in your line up. He doesn't do enough to elevate the players around him to warrant playing higher in the line up so while he may personally get points it's by playing with Miller Bo and Pete he doesn't really deserve those minutes and when you take that away he looks very ordinary.
  8. Highly doubt we get anything close to that but I hope for us you're right.
  9. Elias Petterson for Captain? "He's just not ready" This message has been brought to you by the Luke Schenn for captaincy party of Canuck Nation
  10. Where did I say that. I'm fine w it these nincompoops put themselves in this situation. I didn't expect a king's ransom. It is what it is. Hey at least we've cornered the market on wingers.
  11. Love how if this trade was in the proposals section it would have been panned so hard but come in here and most everyone is rainbows and tiddlywinks
  12. I think I've been pretty staunchly anti JR/PA since the get go when most were so high that JB was gone I was listening to their 1st pressers and thinking welll $#!t these 2 are worse. I will say I think this is probably the best deal we were going to get. Carlo's head is mushy Lysell is a scoop more Lekkerimaki and Bos 1st is prob 32oa with Bo As much as I have been one of the more vocal anti JR posters I think last year they just wanted to kick the can down the road and we are now seeing that this isn't a re tool we are in a rebuild. More dominoes will fall this is just the beginning. I don't think they expected Brock to crap the bed but maybe it's for the best because his bad contract has precipitated this. I still think Miller is their guy and Tocc is going to try to get his game back on track.
  13. Pull a Schneider and get a top 10 pick for him please. Let's do this! Tear it down. As much as I love lil Huggy bear and he is a great player. Building your D around a rover is not how to build a D corps unless we a re inventing the wheel Hughes needs to be our 3/4 guy behind a top pairing like Edvinsson Sieder. Pete is great but much like Datsyuk we need a Helm, McCarthy to step in so he can shine
  14. I dunno man I think we tend to over value our guys like Miller last year. Bo is a 60 pt guy with intangibles he's about to get paid like a ppg guy. Which diminishes his value. The question will be can he keep up this pace or does he crash back to earth once pen hits paper.
