MystifyNCrucify Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 1 minute ago, SabreFan1 said: But instead the franchise trades him away a few years later?!? The compliance buyouts were good in multiple years! Aquilini and Gillis decided to gamble that Lu would play past the end of that contract. Lu's hips decided otherwise so Aquilini and Gillis' gamble failed and failed big at the worst possible time just as the Canucks are a playoff caliber team again. Not gonna open this one up. So much wrong with this paragraph. All i gotta say is, perhaps the canucks were loyal to luo, and were backed in a corner with schneids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now that you mention it, you bringing up the “amount of posts” thing really throws up alarm bells for me. Who cares about your alarm bells? Like others before you, you'll eventually get bored with posting here and stop and I'll still be here plugging away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's on Aquilini and Gillis, not the NHL. Lou had trade value, and (therefore) why the heck would a team use a compliance buyout on a player that could return value. Buy out Lou and we don't have Marky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDC has even been complaining about how the Canucks have always treated their goaltenders and we're all the biggest Canucks homers on the internet! Luongo and Schneider had nothing to do with loyalty. Fortunately the Canucks dumped Schneider before he started to suck. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's the friggin' Leafs that are the problem. They get around the cap worse than all the other teams combined, and the league allows it, because the LOSER LEAF FANS spend so much money the team controls Betman. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy out Lou and we don't have Marky. Buyout Lu and we don't have a multi-million dollar cap recapture hitting the team just as it's good enough to do some damage in the playoffs. That's why I have no sympathy for this situation. This is a self-inflicted wound at the worst possible time. I blast the Sabres for their stupid moves also. There's been more than enough of them for the entire decade running. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 (edited) There IS a silver lining in all of this, however. Ludicrous rulings(or contract rule changes) have forced Van to adapt. I think chasing pricey FA's(after apocalypse of two Lu's) is something they've allowed other teams to indulge in. Mostly just be an interested observer. & fortunately they've been drafting top-notch. A succession of ELC's will probably enable the franchise to pass through all this shyte, relatively unscathed. Sometimes a long tunnel of crap can lead to Shawshank endings...

Some kind of thing among the Italians. I blame Bettman the most, this was clearly a case where Lu could have gone on LTIR but chose not to, and had no way of coming back to play even if he wanted to. That should negate the recapture but it is what it is. They both share a bit of blame. I just can't dump on Lu too much. He's going to do what's in his best interest and I'm having a tough time blaming him for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want to be able to celebrate what these guys did here... don't see how we'll ever do that now tho, or at least as long as Aquilini is owner. Ah well, maybe they can dedicate the hallway between locker rooms to Torts instead. Torts Tunnel maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said in an earlier post, I still hold grudges against Briere and Drury even though I know it was Golisano and Regiers d*cking around that ended up making them want to leave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your own back yard might have an 800 lb Gorilla(of a GM) flinging crap in various directions. I heard some HFriffraff suggesting Skinner may be one of the league's worst deals. Then a quick capfriendly glance shows a slew of FA's to sign, with expenditures already in the top-5, overall. Not looking too tidy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
