  1. Get everyone signed as a bustaroo would be great for the cap!
  2. Hockey is a hobby he has more money than he knows what to do with it.
  3. I can’t remember what happened with Quinn, was he signed and he was still under contract with LA or something like that? I remembered just shaking my head and not caring lol. Then he comes in and trades Sundstrom… Lol
  4. Sundstrom and Smyl were basically my only reasons for watching the Canucks or going to games, Barry Pederson faded quickly into a memory!
  5. It was almost astonishing when he came to the Canucks and traded Sundstrom for McLean ( who?) and Greg Adams! Got over that fairly quickly!
  6. You know what… I wouldn’t either. I was just laughing to myself seeing PK at the habs game yesterday all dressed up as usual quite a character.
  7. Maybe we can get PK really cheap… then we have a Norris winner!!
  8. I met Gino and Dave Babych on Robson street in the early 90’s. Friday before a Saturday night game against Winterpeg…a group of 10 or 15 of us and someone asked Gino who was the toughest to fight in the league. Gino held stage for like 10 minutes just talking about everyone and different games and tussles etc but more about the game itself, he didn’t actually talk about a fight. Bunch of just goofy humor stories and Dave Babych just stood there and laughed with the rest of us… just a beauty Gino was RIP
  9. I know!!! I don’t either especially as I’m a big TL fan and after he got basically canned I figured maybe Benning needed to make decisions himself… ugh!! Lol
  10. Yeah that season sure was a rollercoaster, had such high hopes at the start of the year
  11. Who was willing to trade to move up in the draft? It seems easy on paper!
  12. The owner wants a winning team… the team so far with Horvat has done Jack squat…he is getting traded.
  13. I bet that Bo and Boeser and Schenn are coming up and then a few of the bad contracts that they have… or buyouts if no one wants them. Myers after his bonus is payed in summer will be gone after that too.
  14. Any year without playoffs is a major failure… after all the years of Benning being a failure it is just another year for me!
  15. A common sense post, thanks! Yeah one year of being a GM is hardly a time to grade him…especially right now in this post Covid climate of every team capped out and trades are next to impossible to come by. I was on the Benning bandwagon a good five years before the wheels fell off and I became disillusioned of the goal… so many were avid supporters right up until he was canned and I just don’t get it.
  16. Let’s get Hextall back in the league!
  17. If yesterdays press conference gives you that impression I don’t know what to think…Say goodbye to your hero as he will be traded.
  18. It’s going to be a couple years just to get the cap issues straightened out league wide so trades are doable ounce afgain, everything is so tough right now and no one can take on any salary.
  19. It’s hard to believe that Benning lasted as long as he did… but just like a lot of fans on this forum who kept thinking we were just a couple pieces away from being a good teal I suppose the owner thought the same!
  20. Something has to be better than what they are doing right now, I think the coach should have been canned at Christmas.
  21. I watched a few games tonight, not one of them involving these azzhats!
