For sure. If you're a player like Kyl or Sprong you can GTFO. Team player or nothing.

Thanks for this.

I like your reasoning. Just wonder if there is enough time to make it happen.

Thought there were no guarantees in hockey though? Edit: Almost forgot - cue huge bass solo!

You shouldn't be. I wouldn't have made the Kassian trade.

He has every right to shoot down terrible proposals. CBJ doesn't want to move their youth for Kesler and Edler. It's about what the team needs, and what CBJ needs is to keep building with the kids they've drafted and invested in. They don't have such an embarrassment of riches that they can afford to let go of their top center and top prospect.

Tanev for Sheahan.

My goodness that is a brutal d corps I'm sorry. I think folks here massively overrate Tanev.

I don't believe we have nearly the competitive team people think we do. Hope I'm wrong. EDIT: And not to mention the fact that players are not happy about being here. Luongo and now you can (probably) add Kesler to the list. So yeah. Arguably your two best/most consistent players don't really want to be here. What does that tell you? What is it that we have here?

I believe BB is currently injured as well...

And what exactly do we "have"?

Can you elaborate? I've stopped listening to 1040 since they put Pratt on the air again with "Bro" (lol).

He was only really good when Campbell was bailing him out and laying it on a tee for him on the PP. He's too slow and he makes stupid decisions which just a terrible combination.

It's more than I ever thought we would get for Weise. I like it.

Just a note to everyone regarding Emerson Etem. In 2010 we traded for Ballard, which meant we gave up our 25th overall pick in the first round. Etem was on the board and later taken, as you know, by Anaheim. One justification for the trade of the pick in the Ballard deal was that the Canuck scouts/management didn't feel their guys were still available (one of which was thought to be Tinordi). So we made that deal cause we didn't like what was left - and a few of the next players taken were: Evgeny Kuznetsov Charlie Coyle Emerson Etem Good times

Say whatchu need to say...

Drives me crazy every time Gillis comes on the radio and says he thinks he has a good team here.

This will all reach a tipping point soon enough. Don't worry.

I think you're quickly becoming one of my favorite posters.

Exactly. Veteran team. No excuses.

Those dastardly refs!

I figure your use of comic sans is an indication of the seriousness of your post.

Too bad they're only proven President's Trophy winners and their natural talent is lacking compared to most of the other playoff teams in every category except maybe goaltending. We would be a hell of an Eastern Conference team. They're never as good as they seem and never as bad as they seem, but given a half season of work, they won't make it out of the first round if they make the playoffs at all.

And keep paying ridiculous ticket prices for a crappy/stale product. You forgot that line.

And since when hasn't the top 6 F been about production? The heck does Burrows is playing more mean anyways? Of course he is playing more Dalpe is playing with Sestito half the time. If you'd rather have Dalpe center Kesler then fine, but the kid just isn't suited to a 4th line role. Same reason Hodgson wasn't slotted in there when he was here.
