    [discussion] forum closure

    in Canucks Talk

    Posted · Edited by Quantum

    Damn, this sucks.

     

    Way to alienate a passionate fan base.

     

    This might be one of the most boneheaded decisions made by an inept team owned by a trust fund brat who is too stupid to run his father's other, more successful companies.

     

    Oh well, its been fun. I've had a great time. See some of ya on reddit?

    [Signing] Jets re-sign Logan Stanley

    Is he? I don’t watch them much but he’s quite a bit younger 

    He's not as mobile as Myers is. People forget that Myers won the Calder in 2009 as the NHL's best rookie. He's been a good to great defender for years whereas Logan Stanley kind of hovers in that "Tryamkin" tier of tall defenseman who can hit but isn't as mobile as he could be to be great. Stanley is someone who has been on the cusp of being waived by the Jets last season and could get waived sometime this season too. He's a bottom pair/extra d-man, at this point unfortunately.

     

    With all that being said, Myers is on a bad contract and that's why he's been the subject of trade rumors for years.

    [Signing] Patrik Nemeth signs with SC Bern (Switzerland)

    The list of unsigned full-time defensemen is getting smaller and smaller.  Dumba, Benoit, Jones, Bear, Beaulieu, Foote... and then a couple old guys (Holden, Edler).  That's all that's left.

    I wonder if Edler is seriously considering retirement. If so, I hope the Canucks sign him to a one day contract so he can retire a Canuck. He's probably worthy of being in the Ring of Honour.

    [Report] Derek Clancey no longer Canucks assistant GM, joins the Maple Leafs

    in Canucks Talk

    I am surprised that the Canucks allowed Clancey to take a lateral position with another NHL franchise. I would’ve thought they’d decline to let him out of his contract but I guess letting him do this gives them good will around the league with future hires.

     

    That said, the Canucks have Rutherford as President, Allvin as GM, and Castonguay, Granato, and Johnson as AGM’s. I wonder if one of the scouts or analytics guys gets a promotion this year internally. Could see that happening. 
     

    Honestly, it’s time to get Jannik Hansen into the organization.

    [Signing] Ondrej Kase signs with HC Litvinov (Czechia)

    in Trades, Rumours, Signings

    Yeah, he was really good when he was healthy. He's only 27 and if he can re-find his game and play a season or two without any major injuries, I wouldn't be the most shocked if he made an NHL return. With that said, he could also have a long European career if he wants it too. Sounds like he might be going down the European route. Play at home in Czechia and maybe then jump over to the SHL or Liiga or the Swiss league if he wants.

     

    He only played 1 game last year and in 2020-2021 he only played 3 games. Since 2020 he's only played 54 regular season games. Damn shame. I liked his style of play and always wanted him to play for the Canucks.

    I view the pick as the Canucks securing the rights to a guy that apparently was destined to be a College UFA guy. Don’t hate this gamble. Only don’t like that they used a 4th rounder on him instead of a 6th or 7th round pick.

    [Report] Penguins name Kyle Dubas as President of Hockey Operations & GM

    Dubas will take Penguins to bottom of league very soon...Bad move old players and no prospect..

    Next 3-6 yrs bottom 10 team looks good on Dubas..Dubas should of taken his time and waited for GM job in Ottawa..

    Might of won cup there in 3--6 years with new owners in Ottawa and good young team they have....

    Yep, I agree.

     

    Penguins are about to enter a really rough rebuild. They're going to have to do what Chicago just did. Start stripping the parts but they have Malkin/Crosby/Letang signed for 2, 3, and 5 years respectively. I still can't believe Hextall gave Letang a 6 year contract, that's insane.

     

    Ottawa would've been a better landing spot for Dubas, I totally agree. Only issue is that the sale has hit a snag in Ottawa and they don't appear to have a clear new owner coming in. Honestly, I kind of feel like Calgary screwed up big time by not waiting for Dubas, they're a team that could've benefited a lot from having him around instead of Craig Conroy.

    Honestly, I think this paves the way for Laurence Gilman to become the GM of the Penguins. He was Dubas's #2 for the Maple Leafs. I think Spezza ends up as an AGM in Pittsburgh.

     

    Question will be if the Maple Leafs fire Sheldon Keefe, will Dubas fire Sullivan to hire him? That'll be one of the big questions.

     

    It was also clear Dubas wanted to be President of Hockey Ops somewhere. He wasn't satisfied with having Shanahan as his boss.

     

    Also, if Dubas clears house with a bunch of old Penguins staff -- how many of those people end up becoming members of the Canucks behind the scenes operation? That'll be another thing I'm interested in seeing unfold here.
