We watched the German France semifinal in Marseille. Then came back to Paris for Final France vs Portugal. Had best seats in the stadium cost me almost 1g per ticket for 4 tickets. Best sporting event I have ever attended. And I've been to game 7 Canucks games. I had a friend that was in Spain when they won the WC. And he also said it was awesome. I do enjoy playoff and big tournament time in sports. Soccer ,Baseball and even Basketball are both amazing and intense. But regular games in those sports are a bit boring for me. but Playoff hockey I love the most. as far as this Battle of Alberta stuff goes it’s always entertaining watching their teams go through craziness like this trade. I’m more and more confident Canucks can be on top of the division and not just a wildcard team. i m may have my Homer glasses on but I don’t see any real weak links in Canucks lineup and the upgrades are playoff impact style players. I happy being a Canucks fan. Edited July 20, 2019 by HockeyHarry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow. Lucic was never allowed to be asked to waive his NMC. Is not even able to be talked about until December hits so any trade with him would have been the same. After December flames are free to ask him to waive that clause for ED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the most solid team we have had for a while, with speed, skill and especially size. We could use better top six wingers still. None of out wingers (Save for Brock) is even remotely as good as Horvat - let alone Petey. While improved from last season, I think we will see us still losing a lot of close games because we just didn't have enough firepower to close the deal. I still would like to see another high end scoring defenseman not named Hughes as well. Again - much improved d, but not quite there yet imo. While I feel our goaltending pipeline is in good shape, I am still not yet convinced we can count on great goaltendimg either. But overall as a whole, I feel we will see a dramaticly improved team next season. As far as this trade goes, seems like a good idea for all involved. I wouldn't be surprised to see Neal make a bit of a comeback. Lucic will simply carry on and do what he can at this point - crash and bang.

Elias Pettersson Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 33 minutes ago, Hutton Wink said: Four years. Flames cannot trade Lucic without his permission. They must use a protection spot for him in expansion unless he waives. They cannot even send him to the AHL unless he permits. FOR ALL FOUR YEARS. Lucic, Little Johnny, Monahan, Lindholm, Bennett, Tkachuk, Backlund, Mangiapane. I count 8 and can only protect 7. Calgary is going to lose a good player in the expansion draft, or they are going to have to be forced to trade 18 year old Sam Bennett... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold Drunken Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 (edited) 8 hours ago, VancouverHabitant said: James Neal > Louie, hence why Oilers wouldn't make the deal Good deal for both teams. Neal and Lucic have a few more years left in them, and a change of scenery might just be what the doctor ordered for both of them. James Neal is also greater than Lucic, so that point is kinda moot. Eriksson over his career has been a much more productive player than Lucic offensively. Lucic is 31....you've probably seen his best hockey.

Now they're paying for both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
