Benning mentioned earlier that Baerschi looked like he was scared to take a hit. Baerschi is damaged goods. Wont help us in a bottom 6 role either. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if Loui is so valuable in a checking and PK role, why is he going to sit in the press box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most CDC posters would cause a lot more issues with influencing hockey moves than FA, who's shown a lot of patience with Benning during a frustrating rebuild. 4 1 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if he is in the press box to start it could be a tactic to put him on notice that he can easily be the next Baerschi. Greener does like to use this method to send a message. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope the guys press Aquilini about his involvement with Loui staying up here. Why? He’s paying the bills - for his employees mistakes and his good signings. The only involvement he has is continuing to allow management to spend to the cap, regardless of previous wrong doings and the fact we aren’t a contending team (yet) and even when rebuilding. After close to a decade being exposed to OTT simply based on proximity - I’m so glad we have the owners we do. Imagine if Aquaman needed a liver and had the audacity to ask the fans to help him find a match - and offer a “reward” for it too. Simply a bizzare unstable ownership - not too long ago he was ousted from company he owns by the board because of his own narcissistic tendencies - and now his backing is seriously in jeopardy and he needs the Sens to pay the bills or he’s done .... a ticking time bomb. Francis and Co will never put their fans through anything like Mike Milbury of owners in OTT. 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB said that his talk with Aquilini about sending Gagner to the minors was the most difficult conversation he’s had with our owner. JB is a very honest guy, and almost to a fault. IMO he had a similar conversation with Aquilini about Loui, and this time Aquilini said he’ll no. “I’ve already paid this guy 4 million for this season. Isn’t there another way?” 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 189lb enforcers? Posted October 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 1, 2019 (edited) 189lbs of happy Canucks fan here. Well, that’s not entirely true, I’m just over 200lbs, myself. Got my way, all of it. Enjoy what I enjoy about the game, this year, fellow fans. Edited October 1, 2019 by 189lb enforcers? 2 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Fanuck Posted October 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 1, 2019 Gonna go WAY out on a limb and predict that Aquaman tells us absolutely nothing we don't already know about the team. Just a hunch. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the value of the real estate around the arena. Still, ALOT better than the cheap owner in Ottawa (or other cities). 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few articles said Aquilini he hired a dr phil type of doctor to make sure the players had good head space and handle any mental issues. When I heard that I gained a HUGE amount of respect and having a local owner is huge to! Edited October 1, 2019 by milk and honey 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it is a little easier for Benning to explain sending a 4 million paycheck to the minors than a 6 million dollar one. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least part of the reason why the team was so meh (at best) for much of it's first few decades of existance was that we had ownership that didn't have deep pockets. And this was an era when there was no cap. That isn't an issue anymore. And thank goodness for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
