  1. Why do Calgary Fans obsess over the Canucks.  Over on Calgary Schmuck. com their most active thread right now is about the Canucks, it has 600k views. LOL.  

  2. Why are you so expensive?

  3. The slight delay in commentary calls from John Shorthouse watching a video stream in Vancouver, instead of live from arena where the game is being played, might send me into full blown OCD.

  4. What happened to Miller?

  5. Why does it seem like this team has regressed this year? We have virtually no cap with key players leaving and hard/crippling money spent on the bottom 6.

     

    Will we even make the playoffs this year?

      Wasn't it expected that we couldn't bring back the same team given a flat cap, the key UFA's deserving raises, and the expansion draft necessitating a decision on our goaltenders?

       

      This will probably be a step back year. That's not a surprise. How far a step back will be seen.

  6. does petey need to be protected  for the expansion draft?

      @-AJ-

      All reports at the time of the signing were that Ferland would not need to be protected.

  7. Still would have liked to see Toffoli re-signed for what he got in Montreal.

      That's what people said about the Beagle, Roussel, and Sutter contracts though. That they were long but they were tradeable once someone else deserved that roster spot. No teams are biting on these types of contracts from us in their final 1 or 2 years.

      Just imagine if all these 'bad' contracts were just one year shorter. We'd be out from Baer, and Sutter already. Roussel, Eriksson, and Beagle would only have one year left and would be over before Petey and Hughes need new contracts. Every one of those contracts is just one year too long from really being no problem at all. 

      I'd rather not sign Toffoli for 4 years and then find out 2 years later that no one will take him from us.

      I believe in Hoglander and Podkolzin coming over within 2 years. So 4 years of Toffoli was too much

      In my case, it's not so much happiness as schadenfreude that the man who cared so little about COVID has tested positive.

  10. Give Jake 3yrs 2-2.5m a year. You won’t regret it.

      one year show me deal, if anything.

      Prove himself or we drop him when we need the cap for Petey, Hughes, and Demko

  11. Have they already had media availability for the year? Did I miss it or are there plans of that happening anytime soon?

  12. How did the Golden Knights get to be so good with just expansion draft players? Serious question

     

  13. Testing, testing... 1, 2, 3...

  16. Go Canucks go Chicago and go NYR

  17. Can I cash a pay cheque that's become stale dated (older than 6 months)?

    I found one from December while I was cleaning up. Almost 8 months old now.

      @lmm Business is definitely still up and running. I'm still employed by them. The worry is the company's bank not paying out an old check, isn't it? Does using a machine avoid that?

  18. I feel like Canuck luck dictates one of the two things happening:

     

    We win the Stanley Cup in a "non legit way" (aka this bubble hockey thing) or we win the first overall pick, again, in a very controversial way (second lottery).

     

    Will either these things happen? Probably not but would be funny if either of these outcomes DID happen this year.

  19. Guess it's actually a good idea to have the hub in Edmonton, Sh!t weather = better ice conditions.

  20. I wanted to ask how did Mike Gillis circumnavigate the cap? What is wrong with back diving contracts? 

    1. Where's Wellwood

      Where's Wellwood

      It adds 'meaningless' years just to lower the average cap hit. If you really want to sign a guy to a 6 year contract, but sign him to a 12 year contract instead with 6 extra years of 1 million added on to lower the avg cap hit, that's cap circumvention

       

      But, it was cap circumvention that was within the rules. New rules ensure this can't happen anymore. Max contract length of 8 years, max salary variation between the lowest and highest salary years.
