  1. at least the hitman are in the same city he can play with the ahlers and socialize with the nhlers
  2. Woo are you? (Woo are you? Woo, woo, woo, woo?) (Woo are you? Woo, woo, woo, woo?) I said (Woo are you? Woo, woo, woo, woo?) I really wanna know (Woo are you? Woo, woo, woo, woo?) [significant credit is owed to the creativity of The Who for this post]
  3. a bc boy raised in the province played for the vancouver giants - a local team selling his citizenship to play for an american team i'm guessing apollo views him as a traitor
  4. idle speculation on your part has he been conclusively ruled out yet? i think not we are all aware of a known trend in many crimes that the criminal often revisits a past crime (scene) Dazzle cannot leave this one alone
  5. there is no real need to move sutter does moving him make the canucks a better team ? i doubt it guadette needs time to mature and gain experience he is not yet at sutter's caliber as a shut down center i think the tdl would be a better time we'll likely net a better return if he can stay healthy and gaudette will be more developed with another 1/2 season under his belt
  6. he's not signed at his choosing he is qualified by the team he can sign that qualifying offer anytime any day any week or he can look for a khl team if he feels his nhl career is not worth it not sure really what he is waiting for did he not see what motte and leivo both signed for ? and they both had arbitration rights as leverage
  7. well with such a vast history of authority and experience i think i can speak for all of us on here that you should at least specify what kind of pie theoretical pie does not make me drool but a banana chocolate cream pie does
  8. let's see you fix the money so that it balances so the trade is even that way .. ok then get lucic to cancel his nmc.. and say it is all possible and then change the trade, put in pool party, don't balance the money .. and say it is fair ? odd logic but ok not sure how coilers can afford that trade though as they don't have sufficient cap space if russell is not included but ok, i guess everyone on here is entitled to post their views
  9. maybe it is close to the time when aquaman should wade in loui signed for 6 x 6 and has played 3 seasons he has been now paid 27 million dollars . or 9 million per season he has been with the team hard to see how he provided value aquaman could ask loui perhaps just 1 question do you want to play again in the nhl or not ? if so, let jb make a trade that is reasonable for the team if loui is not prepared to do that then he can wave his nhl career good bye aqauman can tell jb to waste no more time trying to move him aquaman can ensure he remains his property and he can move him down to another league somewhere a little time in in utica and then maybe the echl
  10. success everyone of the core stepping up a bit from last season, ep40's step being a little bit bigger then bo's and brock's hughes showing he is all that we hoped the d grouping staying healthy and actually demonstrating they are middle of the pack in the nhl ferland and miller adding meat to the line up and producing offensively making the playoffs and winning no less then 2 playoff games... 3 or more would be better failure a 9th place conference finish and deferment of the 1st round pick for miller to the following season in my view a 9th or worse finish indicates 1 of 3 things the offense did not improve - internally, or from the additions, or the d grouping was not revitalized in the off season and turns out to be as bad as the last few years, or markstrom's paly in the last half of the previous season was a mirage, he completely falters, and he is done in his pursuit of being a #1 goalie
  11. tkachuck is not doing it for them ? or they think he can mentor lucic in hopes milan will play better with them ?
  12. it is sarcasm coupled with irony in their truest forms oj is unique as he was in fact called up last season and turned out he was injured that fact makes the post i responded to a bit funny (as that is clearly not what the poster intended to convey - it twists his meaning) the sarcasm part is suggesting that very same thing be repeated i'll throw in an emoji next time to indicate i'm not being serious since that seems to help clarify subtle comments for those who seem to miss them
  13. now that you mention him i recall that very same thing he is bull strong not sure he is a great puncher though
  14. i agree i wish more new posters would spend some time reading posts of some of the seasoned posters on here get an idea about the depth of some of their analysis and how they go about crafting their posts some newer posters need to better figure out how to support their viewpoints there are salary sites, analytics sites, stats sites, basically a lot of quality data online but too many post off the tops of their heads without being thoughtful or thorough everyone is allowed to post their viewpoints on here but it is better for the readers if their post have some substance
  15. i still think chara is the scariest super strong and tough he's aging but i think his reputation is solid
  16. um apollo please live in reality there is an nhl draft joe was drafted in an nhl draft he had no say but his team was good and won cups he was named captain, was loyal, and stayed he did not sell his canadian citizenship he played for canada when asked to not really sure how your hope for a different reality can ever actually be real i suggest you try to live in this world and accept the things the seem to mostly function adequately or you might end up with the world of hurt of your own making
  17. i thought we tried that last season and brought him up when he was injured it did not really work out so well
  18. well i think they are making it clear to mcdavid that is all he is entitled to for his 2nd winger is a player on a league minimum contract if him and draisaitl want someone better they can pool their own money and hire someone
  19. come on apollo fans are fans they do what they do if there are no fans of other teams there are no other teams and then there is no league you want to watch a canuck team that only holds practices ? you want the khl or some european league to expand into north america and scoop up all the canadian players to play in the best league in the world ? the nhl may be flawed but it is our league it's what made canadian hockey great
  20. if we only compare the players acquired by the leafs and the canucks in the offseason there might not be much to choose between them in terms of who in fact did better they both acquired some decent talent but let's also look at what each team lost nucks, other then hutton, really lost no one (schenn and granlund were fringe/bubble players) laffs gave up 2 dmen from their roster last season, and lost kadri, and marleau they lost real talent and depth from their roster the nucks added way more depth, mostly at the cost of ufa money (jt was the 1st round trade deal) i think those looking at the leafs offseason ignore the depletions to their roster and only focus on the additions
  21. i think the general response to the nylander contract is that teams will not do an in season signing so late like that again it turned out horribly from a hockey perspective for both the player and team and toronto was stupid to cave and sign him in december even they realize that if a player chooses to hold out i think they better expect to miss a season remember this is more about hockey then money nylander made it more about money as far as i'm concerned i'd rather have him dig ditches in sweden or i'd trade him ... rather then give him or any other player a contract in december and certainly not one with that signing bonus
  22. well we all know by reviewing the odds for last season and the season before that they accurately projected that st louis would be playing in the finals last season and just as accurate that vegas would be in the finals the season before maybe they should offer odds on how accurate the odds will be ?
  23. you must be bored a summer of little hockey news is bothering you? go look at capfriendly as things presently stand it shows the team has cap space of 22.8 million after this season 46 million after the next season (when huges and ep40 are due for increases) without any cap increase built in yet you believe there is a problem that requires moving a bunch of assets
  24. a lot has been made of the secondary draft picks by jb and he has been given a lot of kudos for those selections currently only gaudette appears to have progressed to the cusp of making the team there are many other prospects not picked in the first round who seem to have faded a bit from consideration as good as jb's drafting in the 1st round has been his guru drafter status will fail/succeed based on these lower picks and they will take a little longer to fully progress to where we know what we really have that will directly influence where this team goes and when the window of opportunity really may be present the veteran players signed or acquired (particularly before this off season) have most value to help guide and develop the young core of prospects and when they arrive the secondary prospects who will be replacing these veterans (or not) i think it is still too soon to project when the real future window of opportunity will arrive
  25. ok i simply find that question bizarre but like you point out i'm just one person on this site
