Hi all, I thought this would be a good place for people to post potential trades in fantasy leagues and see what others say. I personally an in a keeper league and have an offer on the table of Tkachuk for Crosby. I currently have Crosby. Thoughts? Should I do it?

[Signing] Tyler Myers to Vancouver
Makaramel MacKhiato replied to Rush17's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I feel far more confident with Myers than with Garrison. When we signed Garrison, he had only 1 good season under his belt and that's when he was around 27-28 years old. Myers has been in the league a long time, with numerous (fairly) productive season's under his belt. -
[Signing] Tyler Myers to Vancouver
Makaramel MacKhiato replied to Rush17's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I met Myers last Summer. Said I'd get him a beer if he comes to Vancouver. He shook my hand and said 'deal'. Now I gotta buy a rich guy a beer... -
Will the Canucks win a dispute with NHL on cap penalty?
Makaramel MacKhiato replied to Slegr's topic in Canucks Talk
I don't think they'll win it, although it's absolutely ridiculous that they get penalized for it. You shouldn't be penalized for doing something completely legal at the time the contract was signed. It makes absolutely no sense to me. Amazing how the NHL doesn't simply use common sense for this, there shouldn't even be a dispute.- 127 replies

Nils Hoglander | #21 | LW
Makaramel MacKhiato replied to ItalianCanuck1's topic in Prospects / Farm Team
Compared to Arvidsson. I don't mind that at all. -
I think we can all agree that a guy like Miller is EXACTLY what we need. But the price was absolutely too steep. Why throw in the 3rd if there's the 1st already? This guy is a Kesler-lite on a Kesler-like contract. Let him battle in the corners to feed Petey and Boeser on the top line. He should get 20 goals and 50+ points in the next 4 seasons. Benning is sending a message that we're on the verge of playoffs.

The Miller trade is bad. But I think it sends a message to the Owners and the players: we are on the verge of being a playoff team. Perhaps it will lure some UFA's as well. It's a ballsy move, hopefully it pays off.

Canucks reveal new jerseys for 50th season
Makaramel MacKhiato replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
I like the Alternative. The "C" part of the rink is much more prominent -
Why is it classless? He signed a contract with a NTC. The GM found him to be a respected and pivotal player that, if he was to be traded, he would be in charge of where he was to go. You can't blame him for taking advantage of terms that was agreed on between him and management. He was 30 and had a family, it's terrible to think that he shouldn't have a say in where he wanted to raise his kids. Give your head a shake.

This is such a stupid comment. Point-per-game doesn't matter when you have the best 2-way player in the game. He was nominated several times for the Selke, which (in my opinion) really nominates the best all around hockey player in the league. He got it done on the defensive end for us AND still scored 41 goals. Without Kes, we don't win the President's trophy and we don't make the cup finals. Don't let him leaving cloud your judgment. This guy was a legend and one of the best to ever wear a Canuck jersey.

I'm not against the idea of technology in the sport. I'm saying to eliminate it from being used by coach's while the game is going on. Things like using an Ipad to check offsides, or to allowing a goalie to watch a shooter's old shootout videos seconds before you face him. If a coach has a challenge, absolutely technology can be used to verify. I just don't believe in the coach being able to watch the play frame-by-frame on a screen and then deciding to challenge. If you're going to challenge a referee, who's calling the game based on what they see, then you should have to challenge based on what you see. Simple.

I feel as technology is getting to become more dominant in our society, it's starting to hinder the excitement of sport. We've experienced it throughout the season, and again in the Avs game 7 game. Where momentum has shifted and the game is exciting, only to have the call withdrawn because of mere millimetres (or inconclusive evidence). As you watch the coach's bench, you can see the coach quickly review the play on an Ipad to see if there is a call that they can try to overturn. A call that can't be determined by the naked eye, can be slowed down and paused by technology, and used to change the game completely. Don't get me wrong, I'm not opposing the idea of a coach's challenge, but I think coach's challenge was put in play for more blatant offsides. I am saying that technology should not be allowed to be used by the coach's and players during a game. If they feel that there was a play that was offside, it is because they saw it with their own eyes, they didn't watch it through a screen. I believe this also gives some of the power back to the referees, bring back the game's rawness, and it should lead to less stoppage within the game. What do you think?

The Oiler's consistently lack urgency in their decision making. They take too long to make trades that'll help their future because of their loyalty to their playesr. The took too long to sign a GM and got Holland And they wait until the 2nd round is nearly over to start a coach hunt? I feel like Quenneville or Vigneault could've really helped them, but now they're going to get left a with a GM that literally no one else wants as I believe they're now the last team in search for a coach. I'll tell you what. Getting the GM and Coach that no other team viewed as relevant is not going to bring them the success they want.

(Rumour) Ken Holland to Edmonton?
Makaramel MacKhiato replied to SilentSam's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Crazy how he's all Edmonton could get. I can't really think of any good moves Holland made recently in Detroit. I feel like the game changed, but Holland still has the same style
