  1. Boys have to learn not to turn their backs on the flames...They're like a pack of dogs jumping a bitch in heat.
  2. Newell is still here....Still surviving off his back pass invention.
  3. SO disappointing that after a clear directive from Green on what he needed to do this past summer, he shows up unprepared for the pre season. He has some great tools but time is running out on his starting to show the ability to use them consistently and to show the maturity of being a professional.
  4. Sounds like the kind of response a team of lawyers would put together. Very nice and politically correct. The problem is, this team does have a reputation for rolling over when it's players are targeted and liberties are taken. Much of the hockey world including many ex players were disgusted that the Canucks showed no response to the assaults on Petey last year. The hit on Brock wasn't predatory but it is the kind of hit, many teammates on other teams would immediately react to and go after the perpetrator. It was refreshing to have SChenn around last year and see how he stood up for our young players in the moment. The hockey world respects that and so do the players. THat kind of "have your back" is a big part of a team's success. I just don't see the Nucks having that.
  5. HIs PC responses just may lead to Brock (and maybe Petey) seeking other options come next contract time. Stars on other teams are aggressively protected but in Canuck land, it really is open season on our young guys. Hard for our best players to play their game knowing they are on their own out there and being hunted.
  6. He looks like a grown up Eddie Munster!! WE should nickname him "The Wolfman".
  7. Does the left wing ideology that wants its citizens to live in fear and under control not register on your radar? or are you just using this for your own agenda? WE have a Liberal federal government...seems to me they are pretty good at handing our money to the corporate wealthy as long as it benefits them. Left or right, the world leaders are playing us all for fools as they all aim to achieve the same level of control and power.
  8. Do you see the Miller move as an acknowledgement that JB has arrived at the conclusion that Jake will not develop into that role? If so, could he be on the block in a trade for the D man we still need?
  9. If the rumour is true (please note the "IF) The stumbling block could be Edler's desire for a NMC. Maybe its not but this is all speculation on a discussion forum, right? Rick drew you out of your cave too, I see.
  10. Our D needs to be re-built before this team will truly compete. We don't know what we will have at the draft that may have to be exposed. I don't think Eddler is worth taking that risk...some do.
  11. They take a toll. I am not adverse to re-signing him I just don't think a contract that causes us to have to expose anyone at the expansion draft makes sense or is worth it. .
  12. Nice pic. Is that you in the green shirt? A long term deal with a NMC will handcuff management. If that's what Alex wants,,,good-bye.
  13. I don't think the 4 years is a given considering his health issues. Regardless, I am not in favour of any contract that means we risk a young asset to protect him.
  14. True, if you believe contracts are based solely on age? Edler's performance and health have been worse than Chara's and in decline. At Edler's current age, Chara was not in decline and was a force deserving of a better contract. Edler's health/injury status and decline in performance should result in a contract that in no way handcuffs management going forward.
  15. He can re-sign here for a deal that doesn't handcuff the team going forward and look forward to having his sweater retired and being a local hero or...he can go to a new market for a short few years and retire in obscurity.
  16. Perhaps you are just failing to comprehend. Simplification - If Edler is serious about staying here, he should consider the kind of deal Chara took from Boston.
