No respectable team would tolerate that gutless piece of trash constantly disgracing the franchise. Like father like son. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 JB has cleared 14M in cap this off-season. Don't think any other GM has managed that much. Sure, he added 7M and Garland and needs to do some signings, but I don't remember the last time I saw a team shed that much cap so quickly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s still young and hopefully this makes him wake up for his own sake. unless of coarse he did what he’s been accused of in which case good riddance. He had issues before all these allegations. "Issues" related to on ice performance. Some guys just need a change of scenery (and maybe this is what Jake needs). Look at Michael Grabner as an example. These guys do have talent else they wouldn't have been drafted in the 1st round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jatylo Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 See ya Jake have fun in Russia! There is a reason why you draft BPA especially with a top 10 pick. What could have been if we picked Ehlers/Nylander like we were supposed to 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the problem when guys are bigger in the CHL vs. NHL. In the NHL he's just slightly above average. He couldn't push people around anymore. So the question is if Jake, not trying can get 36 points. Can he get to 40 or 50 with the right situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, he added 7M and Garland and needs to do some signings, but I don't remember the last time I saw a team shed that much cap so quickly. 7.2 and garland apparently wants 3-3.5 and Dickinson will be the same so he we cleared what? we moved out some mistakes added one new (OEL) one an undersized forward and a solid third liner. so we moved out 14 mill 4 picks and got around a 14 mill cap hit back. Of the three Dickinson is probably my favourite move addresses the total lack of any physicality this team has. OEL will help but 7.2 hurts long term and he’s know as being “ permissive” in the d zone so the d is still butter soft snd easy to play against. garland would be great if the team wasn’t already a smaller soft team. shmidt and holtby leaving should be the real gains in cap but only if spender Jim doesn’t repeat as a ufa loser. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockey-wise it’s a shame because he had a ton of potential and seemed so close sometimes to really breaking through. Can’t wait around any longer though - it’s all hands on deck this season. Jake (and Gaudette) had their chance but now it’s Garland and Podkolzin time. This. People will blame the allegation for his demise, but the guy was already trending in this direction. Any NHL prospect would kill for the amount of chances Jake was given to succeed. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadianRugby Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Well, now we can stop hearing on CDC about how he's a better pick than Nylander and Ehlers because... "Just wait until the playoffs, he'll be a beast." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Example: Miller to Podkolzin to Pettersson into the net = Absolut for Pettersson, Stolichnaya for Podkolzin, and Jack for Miller. Example2: Boeser to OJ to Horvat into the net = Crown for Horvat, Finlandia for OJ, and Wild Turkey for Boeser. Just hope they don't decide to go on a 16-2 tear like Team Canada did almost 19 months ago against the Germans in the World Jrs. Dammit.....JB better get busy and draft some Scottish players.... 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
