Are you kidding me? That list is full of  AHL players with little to NO NHL experience. 

And you're crying about MR 27 POINT GOLDOBIN!!! SO LOST WITHOUT HIM! Or MR 35 POINTS 3 YEARS AGO BAERTSCHI!!! They are absolutely fine.

Are these JB and TG’s cuts though, or is this our owner getting involved?  Loui should have been cut, not Baer. 

 

That’s a stretch.   Why would he care, last year we buried Gagne - was that AF decision?  He’s spending to the cap - whatever cap space that comes of it will get filled up later...

And that’s not a feel good story. 

The teams fine, a giant overreaction. I don't like the fact we lost Baer over Eriksson/Schaller either, but it's not anywhere near to as big of a deal as this fan base sees it out to be.

It’s not about waiving Baer. It’s about keeping Loui over Baer, and then putting Loui in the press box.  We were bottom five scoring goals last year.  Baer would give us a third line that could score:  Baer, Sutter, Gaud.

Ya but apparently (speculation idk 100%) Aquaman wasn’t happy with sending Gagner down the minors

Leivo is just as capable as Baer is. You act as if Baer puts up HUGE numbers, he doesn't.

Already paid Loui 5 of the 6 million for this coming season.  JB said last year that the talk about sending 

Gagner down was the worst conversation he had with Aquilini.

We have a full season with Pearson and added Miller and Ferland. There is where the extra goals will come from. Calm down.

Baer is our second best (winger) goal scorer to Bess.  He’s scored more than any winger, when averaged over 82 games, other than Bess.  I like Leivo too.  Baer, Sutter, Leivo is a good line.

Sure when averaged over 82 games, but that means nothing to me. The guy has never played 82 games and there's no reason to think he would this year either.

Why do you think it has anything to do with Aqua?  Honest question?

 

Aqua has to pay little things Loui regardless of where he plays. Why would he give a rats arse if that is in Utica? Honestly, your reasoning makes ZERO sense.

 

Would Aqua not prefer the better players in Vancouver to get the Canucks to the playoffs so he makes more money?

 

Your narrative is not only tiring but has no logic to it.  Yet on and on you go. At least explain why......

 

Edit: Green has already said he thinks Loui does the little things this team needs...like play defense.

 

:frantic:

Aquilini already paid Loui 5 of the 6 million for this coming season.  JB said that his conversation with Aquilini about sending 

Gagner to the minors was the worst one he’s ever had.  From this I infer that JB discussed sending Loui down and Aquilini said to find another option.  IMO Aquilini is hoping Baer will be claimed.

So then you yourself are saying it is JB that does not want to send Loui down. You yourself are saying JB telling Aqua he is sending loui down is JB admitting he blew that signing to the guy that pays him.

 

There you go. You solved the riddle yourself. It is JB that wants Loui up. It has nothing to do with Aqua. Read your own posts and connect the dots Alf!

Ferland, Miller, Pearson>>>>>>> Sven wadr 

Could have had all four.

 

Its not about the additions being better. We could have had 4 balanced lines now our depth on the left is lacking.

 

Look at any legit playoff team and they have 4 lines that can score. We’ll be lucky to get 35 goals from our 3rd line. Which puts a lot more pressure on the top 6.
