  1. Like that the front office has been extended in size as well... But, as in all walks of life, results matter. If they don't improve, it doesn't really matter. time will tell.
  2. While I hope Woo makes it, as he was my favorite prospect, Jurmo is 2 years younger, so who knows. I will be interesting to see him in next years training camp. @6'4 he is definitely a very interesting prospect. Especially if he can play proper D.
  3. Lets just hope it isn't so.... and if he moves it, it should be something good.
  4. Does it really matter, whether we trust him or not? He is here and in charge of the team. He has started the much needed transformation. We may not agree on his methods, the players he's moving on or the deals he does, but we have to give him at least a few years to see, if it is another false dawn. At least we are not going to continue with the tried and trusted... it didn't work. Hopefully more player movements to come, but over next year and a half expect a lot more dealings done. In a couple of years we can burn him at the stakes, if it doesn't work. PS. Could care less, who's hand he's shaken...
  5. Problem being he'd walk straight into free agency. We simply can not afford to let assets walk. Happened during Bennings watch (ran out of time)... If Isles flip him and get a better deal, then good for them, but this is still better than keeping him until end off season. It was always going to be him or Miller.... Changes are needed...
  6. Spot on... this will also keep other GMs guessing in the future, thus probably being more forth coming.
  7. Yeah... Then imagine Bo twisting an ankle and not being able to play until preseason.... Fat chance of flipping him then...
  8. Well if he could reduce his half arsed line changes and chasing back, he may be ok, otherwise.... I do agree, he represents a more in your face style of hockey, and that has been needed for some time. lets hope bot Klim and podz plays to their sizes as well as Beauvillier. Get Brock off the team and get a proper RHD instead, and suddely we start to look better. Next year Myers and Pearson, and then we have the cash for Peteys and Kuz extensions + another good RHD. One more year, and then I think we'll start to make a proper push.
  9. It'll be too costly for OEL, Miller perhaps but as you said, it'll cost. And finally Myers may represent some value next TDL, or just let his contract run down. Benning tried to get rid of unwanted contracts 1 year prior to them running out, and we ended up with OEL... please lets not do this ever again. 1 more year and Myers and Pearson or gone, it will start to open up for us then.
  10. This... if he shows to be a good PK, its a huge upgrade on Brock... Team needs PK'ers badly....
  11. Rumours has it, Canucks are working on a trade with Flyers.... Fin for Gritty.... the final details still to be sorted out.... you heard it here first...
  12. don't think they are having us s competitive next season neither... at TDL next season, there should be a good chance to offload Myers, Beauvillier, Pearson, for a few picks/prospects, as then there should be money available to properly assemble the new team. It would give us a year to really give it push...
  13. Tbh I have the same feeling... somebody is going to get a real good player further down the draft... Its not only the waiting, but the lack of exposure... And I don't think FA is interested in a team that drifts around for another 3 years... He could however be the superstar, PA said we didn't have, so there is always that.
  14. We have way too many considered trades being ruined by late injuries, thus making them untradable... If the wanted to shift Bo, they needed it to happen sooner rather than later... Also, we are now in tank mode....
  15. Cheers bro... Yes there are really good options for us at our current position. He does look intriguing, and would not be disappointed to draft him... Think he goes top 5...
