  1. If the Canucks are not playing? Any Canadian team. About the only one that registers on a give a hoot register; Calgary. But not that much. Canucks, then team Canada are my only real loyalties.
  2. Same same; Nikita V. Novkov >> Like all great Russians, 2 ways to spell name Novikov after a Wodka
  3. Detroit makes the most sense; Zadina or Vrana, 1st, LH PMD Albert Johansson Their D in 2years; Jacob Chychrun Moritz Seider Simon Edvinsson Filip Hronek Jared McIsaac Gustav Lindstrom
  4. Not a coincidence this post came from someone called BPA?
  5. Signings; Nashville @theo1984 has re-signed the following players; Bo Horvat; 5 x $5.75 mill AAV Tyler Myers; 5 x $5.25 mill AAV Will we see more deals before the Christmas break? The pipeline agency calls for big waves...
  6. Hmm, so agenting... Is that a word? I've been busy. Signings Did load some deals approved by the execs in Fantrax, new I neglected to announce the following deals yesterday; LA / @Primal Optimist ; Beck Malenstyn UFA - 3 years, $1Mill AAV Laurent Dauphin UFA - 1 year, 750k AAV NASH / @theo5789 ; Akira Schmid UFA - 2 years, 800k AAV Adam Raska UFA - 3 years 750k AAV And Today; Nash / @theo5789 again; Bear Hughes - 3 years, 750k AAV Maxence Guenette - 3 years, 750k AAV More deals soon from the pipeline agency...
  7. Its not that Miller is not worth what we paid based on his performance? Its that we are left without enough money, prospects or picks to continue to improve the team. Or even re-sign Miller, who may & likely will be UFA before we are a contender.
  8. 30 + years on, this is till haunting, beautiful. Hard to find a better album. I said Poppa, don't cry, cuz its alright!
  9. I am the party pooper? I would not have spent the draft capital we did to get Miller. Nor OEL / Garland. Nor would I be upset if one or more were moved on. Build for when Petey Hughes & Boeser are in their prime. Demko is already there, but still should be at a peak. That said I cheer for them while they are here.
  10. And by memory? 20 guys had Covid already last year. Albeit a few of them moved on. Double Vaxed and natural immunity should help most. Schenn & Lammiko, for example, were not with us when the torrent hit last year.
  11. I did not complain when we got Juolevi, I wanted a D. But I really wanted Chychrun! Had him ahead of Sergachev & Juolevi.
  12. Love this, been going to buy this album for years, keep forgetting. Gettin it done today...
  13. Well sh!t, I read he was, nevermind... I'll go, uhm edit, dbl sh!t myself and wait for the redraft...
  14. Staal was his 3C. Sutter was also his 3C, when they could not afford Staal. He also turned that around when they could not afford Sutter either. Turns out his sneaky assessment of Bonino & subsequently trading for him was the best move? Bonino's puck control game a great compliment to Kessel & the an up tempo attack as a whole. Re-defining their 3rd line as primarily an offensive unit. That was not conventional deployment or wisdom. Shrewd trade then utilized by a coach who adapted to the personnel provided. In the end, it was still all about complimentary players to his stars, and their game style. Not trading any of their core 3 or 4 players.
  15. He is more known for all his trades to support his core. Not tear it down. See if you can find his history of trading core players? As you propose is spelled out by his hiring/
