    Their agenda with this issue isn't authentic. They've been trying to make an issue out of it for months, looking for anything to grab onto to make this more than what it is. 

    Ok just had a bbq with a bunch of other senior age hockey team guys and general topics were : Auston Matthews contract, Elias Petterson contract or will he bolt, Quinn Hughes is insanely good, Demko needs to be better and a bunch of random Rod Briindamour stuff as we are in Campbell River. But yeah fans talk about all the same stuff..lt is not a conspiracy.

    The media in this city will not stop on this issue until Pettersson actually wants to leave. 

     

    D&D are back only hours from their summer break and they're back on the drumbeat of making this more of an issue than it is.

    Why do you look on the negative side, I see it as they did not interview him so they ask Elliott on his thoughts… he gives a pretty positive look on the process.

    Pederson was at least still a very good player for the Canucks...more or less a race between him, Skriko, Tanti and Smyl for scoring during the years he was a Canuck, 75 points a season or so.

    Yes he was, I guess I was meaning the long  term star where he was a top five point producer kind of player. Being young then my expectations were higher.

    Yes, I have Bourque and Coffey ahead of Lidstrom.  Probably Potvin too.  I'd also have Jagr in the top 10 of all time...

    Trevor Linden once said that Lidstrom was the best dman he had ever played against. But he was referring too the actual position and not taking into account the offense provided.

  5. Barry Pederson, mainly because of what could have been. This man was a star in Boston, on sports page  you would see his highlights every game, i met him as a junior in Victoria… everyone in bc knew he was a future star, everyone was so happy and excited for the trade until the words of an injury would come to haunt us forever. And of course Neely turned into a legend instead… ugh!

    If they let go of Kevin and Jen then they are even more stupid than I thought.

    The recent years of TSN/Bell cost cutting measures makes me wonder if TSN is even going to bother bidding for the next NHL TV Contract?

    TSN would have to do a massive hiring spree if they want the next contract.

    Yeah Jen is an awesome person to have on there, so knowledgeable about the game… And Juice… wow I can’t believe it.
