I have no idea really, but it sure sounded like a heavy player discussion one time and then a couple days later the deal was done. He moved tho so thats it for the Jimbo info.

stawns Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 52 minutes ago, JamesB said: Losing Shore is of course no problem. The bigger problem is that the Canucks are a weak enough team that a guy like Shore is even in the conversation for a spot on the team. That said, it is correct that the Canucks are not a "destination" team right now -- a place where guys want to go. Some guys, like Holm, whose talent is marginal by NHL standards, might see the Canucks as their best shot to make the NHL. And some veterans approaching the end of their careers (like Eriksson) might be willing to accept a large overpayment to live in a nice place. And maybe one or two guys might want to come "home", like Stecher. But it will be hard for the Canucks to attract high quality undrafted free agents or UFAs. And even a guy like Guddy will want an overpayment to stay. And even the RFAs, although they do not have a lot of choice, will probably be less than enthusiastic and won't be willing to sign on a bargain rates. Right now, the draft is the only reasonable way to build a better team. . shore was never in the convo about anything other than filling a spot so they didn't have to touch Utica, but feel free to continue with your chicken little posts.

I hear what you're saying, but deep down true fans that have stuck with this team for most of their life, would really love to see them hoist the cup just once before they leave this world. I'm sure you would also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you would also. of course we all want to see a cup here. but benning is trying to rebuild this team. he not only has to build this team for the cup run but has to out build 30 other teams. realistically, that won't happen for several years. my brother had season's tickets from day one. he died in 99, never saw a cup but he loved his team. some of you will probably see a cup. good luck with that. i'll enjoy the journey ever year till i'm gone.

Trump pretty much killed the USFL as a viable league. Because we wanted to go head to head in the fall against the NFL. His team the New Jersey Generals never made it past the first round in the playoffs. Trump only makes money in real estate. And unless you're an idiot and buy land next to a waste dump, or nuclear power station, you pretty much can't lose money in real estate. Everything else Trump Air, the New Jersey Generals, Trump Steaks, Trump University all went out of business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All he would have to do is convince someone to trade a pick here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
