cuporbust Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Man the province is really grasping at straws to make hockey headlines comparing how fast Luongo s banner came down to Virtanen s . I mean, does it really matter ?

Popular Post Duds Posted August 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2021 Lu was traded during the 2014 season, Virt was bought out in the offseason. Hence the lack of urgency removing his banner. But I guess when news is slow you try to generate clicks however you can, and the outrage machine does that job well. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Luongo was traded mid-season, Virtanen left in the offseason. Not a rush to update, and not news-worthy imo. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawkdrummer Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 (edited) Lu wanted/demanded out. That's why I personally don't him to have a banner in our house. plus we're still paying his cap bill when he could of chose LITR (fk em) I can tell you that Jake doesn't feel that way.

Just lock this we all know this is going to get stupid quickly. Nothing against the post or poster itself but this will just turn into a bash Virtanen thread or bash media tread.

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 The Canucks may not have even been able to hire someone to take down that banner. I suspect whatever contractors do that kind of specialized work are probably backed up for months due to Covid, like you see in many other trades. And if they could find someone to do a rush job, which isn’t necessarily a guarantee, they would probably need to pay several times the going rate to have any hope in jumping the queue.

The cost of taking that sign down probably exceeds Virtanen’s buyout. I wonder if Francesco factored that into the equation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
