    Just looking at our right side depth and thinking about who we might be able to pickup if Hamonic decides to retire or skip a year.

     

    Any thoughts of who we might be able to pad a bit with a 750k - 1 million contract? I think we need at least one more guy on the right side for depth.

     

    Erik Gustafsson (on PTO with the Islanders) maybe???

     

    Anyone know of any teams with extra depth on the right?

     

    How about Demers on a one year contract?

    Excellent news, Kelowna has done well over the years, developing D men.

    at just under 20 yrs old Viktor will likely get large ice time in multiple situations.

    1 year WHL, 1 tear AHL, NHL  a year later?

    Trying to understand what the connection is between Persson being assigned to Kamloops and past success in development of D in Kelowna :-)

    Have you been vaccinated (Part Deux as of Sept 25, 2021)?

    It’s an assumption on my part that the user was referring to the loud minority of Conservative party members in his post. Could be wrong. I’ll move it back to people though.
     

    Let’s go through with this discussion. You say some Liberals are idiots in response to criticism about conservatives. I say I agree with you that any anti-vaxxer is being stupid regardless of ideology. Now what? Do you think arguing “others are bad too” suddenly makes the “too” part disappear? Are conservatives now off the hook for their part in anti-vax views? Do you win the debate by trying to make it seem like it’s an equal problem among all ideologies?
     

    Furthermore your post makes clear you have no problem criticizing liberals who have anti-vax views, which is great! I agree. So does your position on anti-vax views extend to all people including conservatives? Or is it a politically situational belief used to target those you disagree with that changes depending on which ideology is getting said criticism? What exactly is your “valid argument”?

    My argument is that you are automatically putting an equal sign between "anti-vaxxer" and "conservative" in your original post. If you still think that what you did is ok - there's not much for me to discuss with you. Being anti-vaxxer is not the only definition of an idiot. I can show you plenty idiots in the Liberal party, starting with its leader.

    Big difference between voters and elected officials don’t you think? You see an idiot spouting anti-vax nonsense you automatically dismiss it, you see someone that represents you doing the same and maybe you hesitate or refuse when had they said differently you could have been convinced to get the shots. Of course there’s obviously anti-vaxxers among all political ideologies: anyone saying otherwise is lying, but there is no Liberal, NDP or Green elected representatives refusing to get vaccinated or pushing conspiracy theories, disinformation and misinformation about covid. I can’t find any info on the Bloc Québécois and their elected reps (the leader supports a vaccine passport, so I’m guessing most if not all reps from them is pro-vaccine) and obviously the PPC is the anti-vax party.

     

    Like it or not people listen to who they trust and having elected Conservatives not telling their constituents to get vaccinated or refusing to say if they themselves are vaccinated is contributing to the problem. That has an effect on how long this pandemic lasts, how many lives are sickened, lost or even disrupted by lack of basic health care on issues from clogged hospitals/icus preventing other health problems being addressed (cancelled surgeries, no emergency room space for non-covid life and death situations, cancer treatments being delayed etc.)

     

    Anyone saying all conservatives are anti-vaccine is also lying, however there is a mostly rural minority of elected conservative representatives who refuse to get on board with the basics to protect themselves, their families and their constituents and often it is in the places most needing to get more jabs in arms. That has a negative impact on all of us. It’s not just about what that person does themselves, it’s about what the effects that decision has on everything else.

    You conveniently moved this topic into discussion about elected officials. Not sure why and for what reason. It sounds to me like you might be one of these elected officials, because they are known to change subjects when they have no valid argument in the initial discussion.

    DUDE HES ON HIS BACKHAND THE FORWARD IS BEHIND HIM. The puck STILL has to move  LATERALLY BACK TOWARD the forward. He is still under pressure and has to move the puck in a similar path as his attempt to drag it back in.

     

    So you played Hockey.. good to know, I still do and I am a Dman.

     

    So let me just walk you through this one more time.

     

    Guddy took the puck on his backhand, correct?


    It was in tight on his backhand, correct?

     

    He got poke checked trying to shift it from backhand to forehand, while the puck was still on his backhand, correct?

     

    Okay now that we broke down that play, lets break down the play you wanted him to make.

     

    Puck is on his backhand, he should move it on his backhand to the forward on the wall. Right?

     

    How do you move the puck on your backhand behind you? By moving the puck across your body.

    If he makes a backhand pass, he has to somewhat follow through, you cant make a pass without moving your stick. HE WOULD STILL BE POKE CHECKED. ITS A BACKHAND PLAY EITHER WAY. Passing or shifting it to the forehand And now Im the pissed off Dman because you are the goal scoring forward who parted the bloody seas and is looking to chisel a tip in shot from the point. Meanwhile im dealing with a puck in tight on my backhand with a guy coming almost full speed and Im still just trying to get control of the puck. 
     

    100% that is your fault for putting me in that situation and not buying me any time, the only way I can possibly buy myself a split second of time is to try and make lateral movement to open up space because YOU left your man free to walk right up the middle and attack me.

    It feels like JP Barry and Pat Brisson are playing the “bad cop/good cop” routine, with Barry being a bad cop and always stirring something in the media, while Brisson sounds like a voice of reason. It often works in business world - I’m a bad cop in my business and my partner is a good cop. We got quite a few good deals go our way approaching the negotiations this way.

    Probably been said already, but in case it hasn't...

     

    Regardless of whether Klimovich is ready for the AHL or not, my guess is that he's off to Junior A, where he can acclimatize to the North American ice surface and dominate, amping up his confidence level (which doesn't seem to be lacking), all the while having Chris Higgins spend 30%-40% of his time keeping a watchful eye on Klimovich.  Klimovich gets paid his signing bonus of $92,500 signing bonus for the 2021-22 season and Canucks get to place him on sliding scale, extending his ELC to 2024-25. 

     

    In my estimation, Klimovich has one season of junior and one season of AHL hockey before he's NHL-ready.  So, in his second year of ELC being in effect, he will be wearing a Canucks jersey.  Klimovich will make $92,500 in the 2021-22 season, $172,500 in the 22-23 season and $800,000 in the 23-24 season (the second year of ELC being in effect) and $925,000 in 24-25.  Canucks will then have sign to Klimovich to his ELC+1 contract during the summer of 2025.

     

    If I was the guy running hockey ops, this is what I would do.

     

     

    Sorry, but highly unlikely. More likely that he's going to Abby this season

    Ah, that’s really cool to hear. Travis obviously took note of both young guys looking a little frustrated at times. Dan Klim in particular, should feel very happy about his performance. I mean, the social media sphere is full of praise for him and it is well deserved. I am so excited for the kid. And now I’m trying to decide who his play style reminds me of…..

    I keep telling him the same thing. He’s too hard on himself for not scoring.

    Why not, it's his brother,  you seem pretty fragile.

    What does it have to do with me? Based on a few of your other interactions here, it seems like all you’re interested in is picking fights. So, all I can say (in proper English, which is my 4th language) - You’re an idiot.

    Not sure why anyone would be all butthurt about what Jack said. He said the Canucks were one of the worst teams in the league last season, which was factually true. They finished last in the Canadian division, which was arguably the worst division in the league.

    Did you really expect him to rip his own brother's defensive game? Ridiculous...

     

    "Yeah, I think Quinn had a really bad season last year, he has a lot to work on, he should probably just sign for league minimum, I guess."

    He wasn't asked about Quinn, he was asked about his own contract. It's not his place to talk about other teams and players on other teams.

    Umm Hughes has not talked to the media yet if I'm not mistaken?

     

    I'm not going to defend either Petey or Hughes because I'm pretty sure they're both extremely confident with perhaps a quiet arrogance to them, but Hughes not having spoken up about it means nothing. He literally hasn't had the opportunity to yet.

    Perhaps, that's why I'm not making up my mind. It just leaves some bad taste that his brother said what he said and everything is quiet from Quinn on the subject. Let's wait and see what he ends up saying, but most likely it will be something well rehearsed with his agent.
