  1. Was pretty upset with how they treated him last year tbh... He was scratched most year. I was hoping he'd do pto with another team that isn't as deep defensively... I really hope he finds a home and gets a shot at playing 82 games. Sometimes players will pto for one team but end up signing elsewhere... Hopefully this is the case here!
  2. I know this might be an unpopular idea but if Boston has no GM now, can we either relocate the Bruins to a city that doesn't stink of garbage?! Or just fold the world's most sorry franchise completely and take them out of CDCP? OK maybe that's a little too extreme how about we just rename them? Maybe the Quebec Nordiques? North Shore Grizzlies? Kelowna ogopogos? Surrey Cartel? The Yaletown Golddiggers? But yea I'll leave it to our reasonable commissioners and fellow gms to decide this... I am a little bit of an extreme Homer. If it was up to me I'd probably have all Cali teams moved to Mexico cuz California is also a dumpster! Same with Chicago Anyways not sure what all the drama is about but hope everyone has a great day!
  3. Alf I would be incredibly happy if this was to happen. That being said, hes still got 7 figure annual salary he can collect Why not go play in Utica? How bad could life in Utica be? He could buy a luxury condo... Live in it, then keep it as an investment after he moves to his city of choice... Hockey is really fun... And if you're getting paid 7 figures it's tough to walk away from that much. I'd be shocked if he retired and we got all the cap relief. Happy... But shocked. Until then I think it's best we see him working hard at camp and getting back to 20+ goal Loui
  4. This x1000 Loui trained hard this year. 20+ goals... You can take that to the bank.
  5. That's very low. Even with the back loading its an amazing deal for the Wild. Based on his numbers a 2 year deal for Brock should be 4 AAV? which I think is incredibly low but a standard has been set now. Give him that if he wants it. If not 8 years 56 mill? Just get it done.
  6. I dont like the idea of trading such a good guy off the ice... Not to mention a potential rocket Richard winner on the ice... But that's much better value wise. It would be a tough pill to swallow but I'd accept the trade if Brock wants to play at home. I'd still always remain a Brock fan. He's just a great human.
  7. I can bet you every single team in the Pacific is on his no move teams. Poor guy doesn't want to get tormented by the big bad 2019 Vancouver Canucks. He's better off out east.
  8. Say what you want but that tiny pic stock image is a pretty cool looking sig!
  9. I have no problem with character guys becoming captains or assistants... But Jay has played 57 games here and has 13 points... I need a little more long gevity if we're giving an A to a character guy. There's many more guys I'd have ahead of him. Seniority at a franchise is a key factor for me and 57 games and 13 points doesn't cut it. I'd even give an a to Sven or Sutter tanev, etc... This all being said I think we acquired 3 assistant captain material guys in benn Myers and ferland. I expect they'll all wear an A at some point in their long and successful Canucks careers.
  10. I wouldn't be surprised if he makes it to the NHL one day. For now he'll enjoy playing in Austria...
  11. How can Canucks fans feel angst over the picks Benning has made to begin with? Would you have drafted Brock 23rd or Petey 5th? Benning is the best drafter of his generation imo.
  12. Sorry but can't see edler retiring in a couple years when hell be 35. Elite dman last much longer than that.
  13. Sorry but can't agree with you one bit on this. There's guys that have done much more than Jay has to deserve it. Here's to hoping he actually has a good season... But so far he's done almost nothing as a Canuck. This is the world's most iconic sporting franchise, u can't just hand out letters. Bo Edler Brock Petey are guys that deserve letters.
  14. It's a shame he'll have his final year ended in a loss to the Canucks in the playoffs. Whatever though, I'm sure he won't be sour. He's had a good career.
  15. Can Jordan subban be removed from Nashvilles roster? This worked out quite well, helps me get to 50 contracts! :D
  16. apollo

    Bess

    Tbh we should be more concerned with where he's gonna display his rocket Richard trophies... Gonna be tough to display it after he's rolling around with his cup all summer
  17. CSE really needs to do more in terms of fan interaction videos... glad these came out, hopefully more coming. I see a lot of other teams, especially habs and bruins, have way more content all over youtube. Tyler has a wonderful home in Kelowna. So excited to watch him play.
  18. When Marky realizes the dynasty is upon us... and he's the chosen one between the pipes
  19. Btw what's RVD doing these days? I'd love to see Jericho vs Van Dam! Jericho coming out on top of course...
  20. Bo has developed very well... Perhaps keeping captaincy off him worked well to keep some pressure off and let him develop as well as he has? I'm happy with the way Jim and Travis have handled captaincy. I'm sure they'll make the right decision when they chose to do so. There's no doubt that Bo would be an incredible captain. I'd be totally fine if he got it... Or if someone else even got it. There's plenty of good character guys in this locker room that could be argued for as captain... There's Pete... There's Edler... There's Brock... All 3 along with Bo would be exceptional NHL captains.
  21. Well if we are hoping for things then I'd say 2009 rookie season Tyler Tyler hasn't topped his rookie year in points... But he's never been dishing passes to Petey, Bo and Brock. I fully expect him to break his rookie record during his contract here. Tyler Myers and Jordie Benn are gonna wreck havoc in the pacific for a long time to come.
  22. Wow terrible penalty. He's definitely no Chara or Stevens, but his presence and size is certainly evident. I am beyond excited to see #57 in Blue and Green. He's the missing piece our team needed to become a Stanley Cup contender. Go Canucks Go!
  23. Love it. Great idea to pair Benn and Myers. Both guys want to play here and left money on the table to do so. And no doubt those two play with "truculence" lol
