Please read my post that was the response to @Dazzle My point was clear, please tell me what confusion it created? We never reacquired Vinny either. You listed plugs, not players we acquired more than once. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's humanly possible. On another amusing side note, Hockey db seems to show that he came back to us straight from the 'Broome Dusters' of the AHL...guess his stint in Broome didn't quiet prepare him for a return to the NHL! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, back to the original quote, Vinnie Hinastroza was never re-acquired by the canucks. Nor were any of the players I mentioned. We acquired them. Dazzle said Vinnie was a retread, meaning a lower level player that was not worth acquiring. My point was that he is better than the players that we acquired, that they were retreads from other teams. Does that make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was reacquired by Chicago, hence a retread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davathor Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 What a missed opportunity. We could have had Morrison for cheap, traded for Tyler Bertuzzi, then all we needed to do was draft a naslund. Out GMed again 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"We needed a R shot D so we traded player X" it does not involve team ego or the outgoing player letting the GM/coach down player X can then be brought back without shame. Canuckville is different if Loui or Jake get traded we could run a lottery for the right to "Drive them to the airport and tell them what a POS they are as player and human" Over in the Pearson thread, I am discussing whether he should be traded or re-upped I thnik trade other poster says sign for 3 years IMO 3 years takes Pearson right to the cusp of uselessness, but posters often reply with"but 90 %of 3rd round picks never play in the NHL" the oximoron is that we have a GM that is supposed to be able to find players in any round, but to trade a player for a pick is met with the above stat. Yep people seem to think everything is binary or zero sum these days. You done need to ‘win’ a trade. All that is needed is an identifiable gap and a player who can fill that. You achieve that great, if the player you traded out smashes it elsewhere great for them, but if they were surplus here does it even matter. you could argue that the oilers should trade McJesus and could have a far more complete team because of it. He could then go somewhere else and win. Would that mean the oilers lost? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
