  1. You need elite players in their prime, with a good supporting cast. It doesn't matter if your great players are big, small, forwards, D or a goalie. A lot of teams win with a great goalie and defense. Last time Pens won their only top end D (Letang) hurt the whole playoffs. Though obviously the game is getting faster. So it will be harder and harder to win just by playing a all out defensive game. Also, your D needs to be more mobile than ever.
  2. If having common sense and thinking the Leafs had a good rebuild makes me a Leaf-fluffer. Then I guess I'm a Leaf-fluffer. You do your thing and keep cheering for this guy bro.
  3. The Canucks aren't in the playoffs. I'm not cheering for any team, except for whoever is playing the Bruins. I'm against the Bruins because of 2011, and the way they won. The way Marchand was kissing imaginary Stanley Cup rings in Vancouver the next year. They didn't just attempt to injure the Canucks, they did injure the Canucks. They had the refs on their side. They had the hockey world on their side. I understand how some fans might hate Toronto so much because of all the media coverage they get but... To compare 2011 to one regular season game. Really? Bro. You're blatantly lying and just cheering for the Bruins because a lot of fans liked the Leafs rebuild over Vancouver's (which you hate). Turncoat.
  4. Jake is the biggest trade chip (unless they trade Demko, there are rumors) but what do you get for him that helps this team in the future?
  5. If the Canucks miss again you think it's the coach getting fired again? Wow that's some serious Benning loyalty. @oldnews Are you seeing this? You have some serious competition as far as Benning support goes. jk.
  6. So going for the cup is 5 or 6 years away? Or are Pettersson, Hughes & Juolevi not part of the core.
  7. I didn't mind it at the time. I'd rather he sign free agents (to somewhat reasonable contracts) than give more draft picks away for role players.
  8. Getting time & space will always be difficult for him to get from now on. He can improve at finding holes though, hopefully his linemates also improve so less attention is paid to him.
  9. Nothing will be worse than losing in 2011. Other great hits: Marchand in general Keith's elbow Chelios 2 rulebooks in playoffs Having to play vs head of reffing & discipline kid in finals
  10. I think that'd be news to Canucks management.
  11. Is this true, or do they just have a different opinion than you?
  12. Should be Petey but why is nobody talking about Dahlin? Good point totals, physical and it matters that it's harder to be a good defenseman at a young age.
  13. I think I realized the problem is trying to have a discussion based in logic, with people that still defend the Vey trade in 2019.
  14. I don't know how much value decades of statistics have, considering before the salary cap a few rich teams could outbid everyone for the best free agents. I'm not saying you're wrong but at least if you're going to say you have decades of statistics to back your claims up maybe list a few statistics.
  15. Well that makes more sense. aGENT, haven't you been arguing that you don't need top picks to rebuild the whole time? Sorry if I by accident mistake you for baggins or oldnews.
