  1. Hockey players are coached to spew the same garbage every time..just like this:
  2. I'm always left wanting more. I'm not trolling nor a simpleton either but thanks for the effort to talk down to me. Are you willing to double his salary or more? I'm not.
  3. I'm gunna guess the 7 teams are Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa.
  4. For a 35 yo player? Not gunna happen even if his last two seasons were a bit of a renaissance for him. You just aren't recovering a top end young asset. Think of like a Burrows return.
  5. Coilers had a ton of empty seats last night vs Carolina. The announced attendance was the classic sham too. The estimate was at least 2000 empty seats. It's just too expensive and with tough economic times, even rock solid attendance markets are hurting. These 'arenas' are multi use entertainment facilities and have less appeal to the sweat pant/jersey wearing crowd.
  6. No not all. I've never even been to that site. At a certain point I believe your potential passes you by and I think that's where we are at with Jake. I see a player who has replacement level ability and value. You don't. That doesn't make me wrong, nor does it make you wrong.
  7. The NHL is scared. Didn't you hear Bettman? We don't like surprises. READ: this hurts our sacred brand.
  8. Confirmation bias doesn't prove anything though. For every Roussel or Ferland or heck even Burrows, there are hundreds who never make it off the ground floor.
  9. That could just as easily be lip service. It could very well be a total coincidence too.
  10. This reeks of getting out in front of something before the league penalizes them under the new 'plan'.
  11. Nope. Nor do I feel guilted into it by you. I have little to no emotional attachment to the team and it's players. They could trade everyone and I would still cheer for the team. The players are interchangeable to me. The team is stuck with him because he has no value. So they have no choice but to see if he can be molded into something else they didn't draft him for. Not the end of the world but I'm not very optimistic. In the meantime, I will continue to enjoy watching what Miller brings to the table.
  12. It's not unfair at all. He was a 6th overall pick and unfortunately that matters when you are developing at a snail's pace. I expect and expected more of a JT-like performance out of Jake. I'm trying to drink the Jake koolaid but it's weak and flavourless. All I meant from my comment was that if Jake came in as billed and lived up to the hype, the Canucks probably would have never needed to acquire Miller. I'm glad they did though as he looks to be worth every penny.
  13. My only beef with this trade is that we shouldn't have had to make it in the first place. Miller is exactly what Virtanen should be. Instead he can barely even carry JT's jock strap.
  14. Bettman only cares about the owners and their money. It's been happening under their collective noses for decades and now that it might cost an owner something ($$$), they weigh in.
  15. We saw the same thing with Nic Petan a few weeks ago. Top prospect gets exposed on waivers....everyone passes on him. Clears and gets recalled not long after.
  16. Who's in charge of this B rate organization? Can't even manage a cap.
  17. I don't agree. Guy is a dud in the NHL based on what he was supposed to be capable of.
