  1. I still can't believe it... what a steal. If I was Jim I'd just start out with 6 AAV at 3 year... they were low balling him and caused him to miss camp. Luckily he'll get pre season action... so probably no harm done and he got to spend a few extra days back home. It's probably a win win for everyone. Here's to a healthy season for Brock filled with lots of goals and winning hockey. I've been straight all my life, but if I could turn, I would do it for Brock... Sniper on the ice and an amazing guy with high set of morals off the ice
  2. And people laugh at me when I say the Canucks are the most iconic sporting franchise in history?! Just watched this again... Here's to Brock hitting 50 goals in a healthy 80 game season, he took game 81 and 82 off since we already clinched the presidents trophy. A cup and rocket during these 3 years coming right up.
  3. Wow... Here we have it, Bennings best ever contract. Never in my wildest dreams would I have expected Brock at anything under 7 mill... Considering Marner Matthew's are 11mill... Shockingly low tbh... Now I see why Brock held out... They were really low balling him. Had Jim given him 3x6 offer he wouldn't have missed camp. I hope there isn't a single Canucks fan on the planet that is upset at Brock for missing camp. He must have felt insulted under 6 mill. Nothing I'd love more than seeing Brock get paid 13 mill on his next deal over 8 years. Three superstar years coming up.
  4. WHAT?!? If anything under 6, this will be the steal of the century.
  5. No problem with taking camp to the island at all. It's good they spread it across our province. The millions of canucks fans aren't just in Vancouver and I respect them world wide wherever they may be. The organization has very limited content for its fans though especially when u compare to American teams. Roger's is a big reason for this bs and losing our regional coverage. Remember we used that have 30 minute Canucks TV hosted by Murphy or Hannah Bernard? Roger's killed it. I don't like fans that rag on our players and trash guys like Oj, Jake, loui etc as u mentioned... But we as Canucks fans deserve better content. Probably has something to do with it. God I hate sportsnet. That's great. Minor hockey interaction, can never have enough. But the matter of fact is that American teams with 0 fans get 30 minutes of post game and 30 minutes of pregame coverage... While we have to hear the bs Roger's sportsnet wants to feed us...
  6. Canucks Sports Entertainment barely does $&!# compared to all other teams in terms of fan engagement. Detroit is one of the world's biggest dumps and they know they have to try extra hard to build hype around their team. Sadly no matter how poorly we engage our fans, our arena will still pretty much sell out. Detroit, or any other American team generally does more for coverage. And I'm not even mentioning how bad our pre game and post game coverage is... That's on Roger's tho and not CSE. It's a shame but it is what it is. The organization needs a president that actually pushes for things like this to engage fans.
  7. That's not much of a slap on the wrist even... Nhlpa wants to protect its players and let them do blown freely tbh
  8. Edler had a better year last year than he did in 2011. Almost identical stats and he did it on a weak team last year. Edler's best years are going to be his next two imo. He's never been in better shape, his legs are tree trunks, he's matured and more calm on the ice. Tanev wasnt much in 2011... Salo was one of the best dman we'll ever see, Hamhuis was ineffective all playoffs, Bieksa was prime for sure. Edler, Myers, Troy, Tanev, Quinn, Jordie, Biega is the best top 7 we've had. And I'm tempering my expectations on Quinn, he could put us in cup territory if he can do 40+ points.
  9. I'm serious, I think there's a good chance they click that good and stun everyone. Home town Calder trophy winner coming home? Come on... Tyler is in a much better situation here. He's at home, he's happy... He wasn't getting enough respect in Winnipeg. Side note... I don't get it, was Mark Wahlberg joking when he said tie domi? Alex on the other hand is a diehard vancouverite that loves this town and took a huge discount to stay. He had teams lined up to give him 6 years, don't kid yourselves. At the same AAV if not more. It's not about money to him. It's about being here and winning here. These two are gonna be absolute studs whether they play on the same pairing or not. Vancouver has NEVER had such a stacked d... You could go on and on... Jordie, Tanev So maybe I'd like to backtrack from my initial statement of Edler / Myers being the best pairing to, Vancouver as a team has the best d its EVER had. I didn't even mention QH43 our weapon X
  10. Edler Myers could end up being the best d pairing in the division. Heck even the best d pairing we've ever had. Well nvm Salo was something else when he was healthy, any one he partnered with would be solid.
  11. Would love to see Sutter get going this year. He's to a 20+ goal year.
  12. He's on group b today with Beagle and Schaller. Everyone can relax
  13. Absolutely love it. Way to man up Jake. I hope he gets that 20+
  14. Come on guys... let's go easy on him... How about we just wish him the best and hope this is a wake up call? His interview on the radio seemed ok, he owned up to it and said he wasn't that far off from the goals that were set for him. He's not pouting either, I like his character. He's certainly matured.
  15. Ahhh found it... so I can't do $14 exactly... and made my point that Burrows was a legend. So I've just chosen 6 other teams to pay for as someone had already paid my share 6 teams to send good blessings so #6 is re-signed in the next day or two... Also shoutout to Syg and Sestito for tossing me a 5th on this one... negotatiations initially started at Poirier + Bitten for Future considerations Wont be surprised if Bitten makes the NHL eventually but we had to shed some contracts.
  16. Wow he ended up taking less than Matthews then... what a good local boy. Respect. They should trade Matthews to Arizona if they don't win with him in the next year or two... I'd say give him 2 years.
  17. I'm glad if true. Then we'll stop having to hear about it 24/7 Also maybe it will speed up Brocks deal too. I could see Ferland absolutely crushing him when we play Tarrrranaa
  18. Where do we send to? I remember it used to be on Fantrax first page when you logged in? Or are we doing e transfers? I'll do $14 to pay homage to the Fun Fact: Alex also retired as a Nashville Predator in CDCP going down as the best looking guy to have every played for any american sports team ever. Burr was the real life Tom Cruise... except when he did magnificent mind blowing things, it was in real time and in front of 18,000+ ... gotta give credit to Tom though, he does do a lot of his own stunts unlike many actors... but if I could chose to be Tom or Burr, I'd chose Burr 10/10 times.
  19. Couldn't agree more. This is gonna be the best money puck signing during Bennings tenure. I see some a lot of Kevin Bieksa. Long Live The Great KB3 and shout out to Kesler and Torres too.
  20. Hopefully he signed the jersey the kid was wearing and not his forehead hahah I remember 2 whistler camps ago, I think would have been 2015, a girl asked Daniel to sign her arm He said something along the lines of "I've done that before and it Irritated the fans skin" so then instead of walking to the bus which was 10 second walk away and not signing anymore, Daniel went back into the arena and came out with some signed pucks for the girl or maybe it wasn't pucks it was something else... Can't remember exactly but man what a class act Daniel and Hank always were throughout their careers
  21. You're as right as it gets. Sadly I don't think their closed minded agents who just want a big commission care about this If Brock signed 8 years 5 mill AAV for example, he could easily make up way more doing business in town. Everyone would respect him way more and flock to do business with him. Heck he could close his eyes and become the #1 grossing realtor in town and make bank doing that... He could invest in gyms... I'd %1000000 go to a Brock boeser gym over a Steve Nash one... It's just silly. Not to play the game you love over a couple million. I've never made more than low 6 figures in my life and I'm less worried about money than these players tbh... But again these guys are hockey players and that's what they're confident making money at. I think if they had more business acumen they wouldn't care as much. Whatever tho, Brock is worth billions if you ask me. So not bashing him or anything. He's the greatest American on the planet. Hope he joins us in camp shortly
  22. This is getting silly... Just come to camp Brock I can't believe how many NHLers are bent up over a couple million. Is 1 mill AAV gonna make any difference in their lives? Like I know they're all hockey players and that's where all their confidence is shifted... But come on... Do they have 0 confidence in their ability to make more money? 4 mill AAV or 8 mill AAV... How hard do they think it will be to make more money? They're nhl stars... Brock could literally do any business in Vancouver and make additional millions with his eyes closed.
  23. So many studs drafted after Bostons 3 picks... This warms my soul At least they didn't whiff on debrusk, could be worse! Aho konecny Eriksson ek even should be good. Let's not forget the prized jewel of the 2015 draft.... BROCK BOESER!
  24. That's not bad. I'd even go as far as saying they're pretty sharp. I wish one day Canucks fans would get along with fellow Canadian teams fans. We should not hate on fellow Canadians. We should focus our dislike towards dumpsters like California, $&!#sburgh, Chicago, Boston, etc
