Looks his decision to leave was made for him by this classless franchise. I’m glad he turned down the 8 mill. much like tanev some guys have self respect and once you cross the line money is secondary. Especially when there’s no risk that they’ll get paid else where and maybe even appreciated. once again with Francesco as the owner the fans are really the only losers.

Spending money on an older player for a bad, cap strapped team nowhere near competing was stupid then and is still stupid. The only thing I can hope (and will never happen), is that they have a fire sale between now and the end of next season to accumulate as many picks and prospects as possible to restart completely… and that includes Hughes and Petterson. What a gong show of a franchise, run by clowns who couldn’t come up with a vision for the team even if they got fed a bunch of peyote and spent a month in a sweat lodge. The counter argument would be: the team is still profitable despite the yearly results - loser logic. The same logic that continues to under value draft picks, using the percentage of success reasoning..

Fumbling signing Gretzky (deal was virtually done) 5. The 2006 Deadline, every deal was abysmal. Some of these aren’t even trades. He said trades.

I wonder who spilled that nugget? I listened to some of the Drance show this afternoon and they had no idea then what the number was. Dahliwal, who broke the story did not know either. Whoever leaked that number isn't doing the Canucks any favours 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavel the Bure Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 I have no problem with Canucks trading Bo, I have no problem with Bo wants to be a UFA. Why I have a feeling , we will have a problem with decent return and management miscalculate our cap after signing Miller and were not ready for Bo breakout year.

Gurn Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 IF the team originally offered $5.125 mill per over whatever term- who ever is doing the contracts need to be let go. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In their defence, if I were fed a bunch of peyote and spent a month in a sweat lodge, I'm pretty sure my mind would be elsewhere too.....like "why are we all naked" or "why did I just pet that mountain lion?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. It's a negotiation. You offer your bottom offer and work your way up from there. Nothing wrong with that IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original quote was worst Boeser was the worst move in franchise history, he added the OEL trade. The context is worst moves in franchise history. i said the OEL trade wasn’t even top 20 worst moves in franchise history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he gets to free agency, he'll find out how little teams actually have to spend and get closer to $6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
