CanadianRugby Posted March 11, 2021 Author Share Posted March 11, 2021 1 hour ago, oldnews said: same expansion draft format as Vegas - so they 'should' have a better shot than a whole lot of teams.... when you can pluck a #4D off any/every team in the NHL.... when no tandem is safe and you can fill an entire roster of mid to upper range forwards... (remembering that teams must protect every NMC they have / good contract or bad).... if you can't build a competitive team with that, you have no business GMing at the NHL level. I mean I was just kidding, but yeah expansion teams have it pretty good nowadays. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetterssonOrPeterson Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 so this is pretty much just tapping into the misery of both franchises..... talk about negativity yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convincing John Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Also, nobody cares about the Buffalo Sabres in the state of NY. I worked in upstate NY/ PA for over 3 years and ran into like 3 people who knew who Crosby was. More people know who won the World Series of poker than the Stanley cup. I bet there are more Canadians who could name more current and former Sabres then anyone in Buffalo. By a mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger-Hearted Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 The Sabres have their classic crest back. The Canucks are still stuck with the Orca Bay's inspiration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khay Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 On the flip side of losing two game 7's in the SCF is the absolute beast of runs leading up to them. Getting a chance to watch the Russian rocket, WCE, Sedin magic, etc etc. There were a lot of great hockey moments that we enjoyed on a day-to-day basis that made us fans of this team. Yes, we started out way worse compared to Buffalo because the expansion rules were garbage and we didn't get to draft Gilbert Perrault. But look at the last 30 years and we have definitely been the better and the more exciting team. The last bit about how the core will only have one or two years together? That was pulled out of a$$ because there's nothing really bad to say about the future of the team. "We have too many great players and they are all going to want more money wahhhh~~~" I do lament the fact that we didn't get to see Gretzky on Canucks. Although he was on his twilight years, getting a legendary player of his magnitude, would have altered the franchise for better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Only when we have owners who are in bed with the NHL will we get the preferential treatment it takes to win a cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird thing is a number of those guys eventually became Canucks (and it's not like they were all garbage; eg., Miller put in some good seasons here) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 On a positive spin we’ll be re-signing Hughes and Pettersson during a flat cap where salaries will be down. Also Pettersson is having a bit of a quieter season than many had predicted. He’s not getting the type of numbers that would warrant the 10+ million dollar contract people were throwing around. Hughes will get a good payday since he leads the NHL in points by a defenseman but his poor underlying numbers this season should be used to get a bit of a discount. If both are signed long term in the 8-9 million dollar range it’s hardly crippling us. After all we have more than that in dead cap alone this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DeNiro Posted March 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2021 I just wrote an article on the worst sports writers over the past 50 years and Drance came in at number 1! He just edged out Brooksie in a tight race! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gizmo2337 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Trivia question!!! Name the 4 teams that have never won a cup or picked 1st OA at the draft? Hint: Buffalo is no longer in that club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
