[Rumour] Bo Horvat Trade/Contract Talks
combover replied to HOFsedins's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Lol Nucks reportedly lowball horvat with a 5.5 mill deal hahahahhsha. hope he laughing at them as he hung up the phone. he should stick to his number he’s one of the few players that’s paid his dues to earn a contract weather it’s here or else where. Wasting his prime playing on a bottom feeder then getting lowballed. Besides He has nothing to worry about he’ll get paid as a UFA and might even have a chance at winning something meaningful.( Not just a wildcard spot. ) EP hughes and others should be watching how this organization treats players that have been class acts and loyal to this club - no home town discounts here. -
Dickpool should be on waivers Woolly out played pool Lockwood is cheaper and better than dick i really like hoglander but if it’s between him and garland then garland wins. maybe doesn’t matter right now with the injuries but when all are heathy it could. Wasnt expecting much from the line up match but they guys showed some pride and the veterans (garland lazar) that did play showed effort some leadership. Unlike some of the others in past preseason games.
-
The veterans that are playing are giving effort and look like they care. (Garland) Maybe that’s just to much to ask though…. heaven forbid the “leaders” set an example and use these games to get into game shape. It’s not about winning right now but effort and preparation and leading the youth. best players so called leaders mailing it in And then we seem get off to slow starts huh that’s wierd….
-
Excuses excuses ”it’s just the pre season” next “it’s still early” “it’s only one game” “It’s only been 20 games” I get veterans taking a game off in the pre season if the team had achieved anything but this group hasn’t achieved even mediocrity. Maybe the so called veterans leaders should show some leadership and actually show up and give the illusion of caring if for no other reason than to set a example for the young guys. ep demko and maybe a couple others have been leading by example. millers been a total dog I guess he’s “saving it” since he had such a short summer after all the playoffs he watched…..and he’s not alone. Pretty disappointing effort from so many you’d think they’d be so tired of losing and what to win whenever they can.guess not.

[Rumour] Bo Horvat Trade/Contract Talks
combover replied to HOFsedins's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I hope Bo does what’s best for Bo he paid his dues here playing with garbage on terrible teams and never complaining. someone should have told him to smash his sticks and have childish tantrums. He’s under appreciated, underrated. hope he goes for the max $$ he can get whether it’s here or elsewhere no “hometown discounts” this club wasted the years of discount contracts. -
I was expecting a more dominate performance from miller he was a non factor most of the game. Pearson was pretty bad Poor effort even for the preseason. But EP demko Kuz didn’t disappoint. I also liked Lockwood Joshua Burroughs rathbone made some great plays aman karlson were noticeable for good reasons

Not sure if there’s hate towards Bo but there is defiantly under appreciation for just how much he does and the kind of player he is. this team is in trouble if they lost miller and the same is true about horvat. he plays the toughest minutes against the best opposition and he’s grossly underrated by many -
Guess we should have kept him. fired because he was so fantastic. trying to fight another teams coach for deployment super classy just screams greatness. benching a future hall a game goaltender to play the back up at the outdoor game. freaking out at one of the hardest working players on the team Players requesting trades to get away from him Greatness. Keenan won too didn’t change he was a POS.
-
Fired by Christmas. torts is a goof was a terrible ownership hire here and everywhere since. his control freak ego maniac antics don’t work on these younger players. maybe he should chase the other teams coach down the hall for playing the 4th line, oh wait he did. he was right about Vancouver because he all he added was negativity starting lack at the winter classic yelling matches with Hansen media tantrums about cell phones. Torts is a pos. And will soon be once again out of work. The league is a better place without this idiot.

Pearson top 3.ha , he’s a third liner on his good days. No way horvat resigns if he’s pencilled as a third line Center i can hear his agent now asking for a trade. A guy in his prime on a contract a year after career best goals best face-off man on the team rewarded with a demotion. Telling Bo he’s the third line Center is the same as telling him To not resign and to ask for a trade.

Unpopular opinion: Don't need top 10 defense to make the playoffs
combover replied to CanuckRookieFan's topic in Canucks Talk
It isn’t it linear that sounds like the nonsense excuse Jb tried to sell to cover his many failures. Build and fix problems just like building anything. There will be always set backs The one step forward 5 back are what got us here make the playoffs then miss for 2 or 4 years doesn’t make our core better. -
Unpopular opinion: Don't need top 10 defense to make the playoffs
combover replied to CanuckRookieFan's topic in Canucks Talk
making the playoffs when the team is ready to compete and built to progress and advance the following years is totally different. For example making the playoffs was it 6 years ago and then in the bubble sure made us better didn’t it. That so called “valuable playoff experience “ sure changed the team. just because you fluke or squeak in to the playoffs contrary of some belief doesn't mean your building a cup contender. Playoff experience has no value if the team can’t build on it the following years. Proof is basically this team history. I’m not a fan of the cup cake mini me build that was assembled. Bieska called us fun to play against because no team in the league fears being hit by any player on our team. the forecheck (if you can call it that) was guys like highmore bouncing off and falling down lololololol really like what the 4th line is looking like this season. Id like to see a D not named schenn that consistently plays with size and hard physical game and can and will actually clear the crease and protect the goalie. Really Why wouldn’t other team run demko or try to hurt EP boeser , uh oh look out here come garland to stand up for them -

Unpopular opinion -just making the playoffs is a losers goal (Jb) building a cup contending team and addressing obvious weakness should be. -
[Rumour] Bo Horvat Trade/Contract Talks
combover replied to HOFsedins's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I’d say nope not extended by the deadline he has to be traded regardless of playoff implications. Nothings changed we have no depth and we can afford to let or even take the chance that valuable assets walk for free. Anyone who Needs proof we can’t afford to let valuable assets leave for free simply look at our young”stars” roster. -

combover replied to HOFsedins's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
No but we are 2.7 mill over (cap friendly )the cap right now with poolman 2.5m and hoglander 900k listed as out. With them back we are 5 mill over. -
[Rumour] Bo Horvat Trade/Contract Talks
combover replied to HOFsedins's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Unfortunatly I don’t see it making much difference if it’s now or in three four weeks every gm know what a mess JB left here and how cap f’d we are and will continue to be. the cost to free up cap will most likely be garland Didn’t the flames try running like that few years ago and the couldn’t ice a full team some nights…. That’s not a position of strength it exposes just how bad the team was run and could put us in a worse position. But when it comes to understanding the cap and managing it im just like Jim Benning And at total loss so… -

I’m not sure I follow what do you mean by penciling down? Like pencil them in the farm and not play them? -
[Rumour] Bo Horvat Trade/Contract Talks
combover replied to HOFsedins's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I read that poolman and hoglander were at the practise if that was true we can’t start the season without trades. Could try waiving Dickenson and Poolman but I doubt anyone touch’s either in a trade they’d be the dumps so Garland makes the most sense he’s a good player who has value and would love to keep him but he will most likely he will be the cost of 8 years of stupid- garland and one of Dickenson (pearson Poolman) for a minimal return unfortunately is how I see it playing out. -
[PTO] Danny DeKeyser with Canucks

Big bucket of Meh hope he get released or sent to the farm. we have veterans to “ mentor” younger guys and we don’t need LD. didn’t like it when JB plugged aged out recycled vets in but atleast it’s a PTO not a 4 year deal. -
